You have plenty of those who care about you, but not necessarily communicate that directly to you, so don't underestimate/discount the others just yet. Yes you've been alone, but only because you were too scared to let others transgress your personal space of which you are very protective (and rightfully so). It's completely natural to see things from your perspective now that you have experienced loneliness. With a little bit of effort you can change that without having to change what and who you are. Join the bike club, or a gym, and put a little bit of effort into starting a conversation with a complete stranger (just for practice purposes). It will get easier with time and at one point you will feel comfortable (although not completely) starting and leading a discussion with those who surround you. Don't panic when people show interest and come too close..its only because they are interested in finding more about you so its only fair to both you and them to give them an opportunity to catch a glimpse "behind the wall" that surrounds you. If you do give them a chance, opportunities are endless. Careful though, you do not want to shut down any time and any day you want (and you will feel the need to distance yourself of course) so keep that in mind. If you decide it's time to take some time alone to recharge, let them know (and don't feel frustrated about that). The more they know about you and your needs and wants, the more they will appreciate you for who you are.

This is what I call "self trash talk". Sometimes we are who we say we are. When it comes to life we are all alone. You are the only one who writes the script of your life. Other people can make you feel needed or validated or not lonely. But, when it comes right down to it, those people aren't what counts. YOU are what counts. If you are lonely, don't be alone. If you want people to be with you, be with them. Each of us has the power inside of us to change our lives. Look around to others who to you appear to not be alone and get some ideas from that. Reach out to others and make them not feel alone and you will be rewarded in your life. None of us realizes the power within us.
The power within you can keep you alone or open up a whole new world to you.

Maybe your outlook on life should change alittle. Be more pleasant and positive, always look at the flip side of things. If you give yourself to others they will show you how much they care. Go out and meet new people, ones that have the same interest as you.

Love yourself. Take good care of your feelings. If you want somebody to care for you, ask!
Be with friends. Care for others first without asking for repay.
It takes time, dear! Be patient, after a month or so, things'll change.

Maybe instead of saying no one really cares about me, you should seeking out people that will care about you as a person. Many young people feel this way, I at one time felt this way but you must seek out people you can identify with and who will accept you and care about you. After my mother died I thought I would never find someone else who cared as much as she did, but then I joined Pi Kappa Phi a national fraternity and gained not just friends but lifelong brothers to care about me. Find your group and then you will find people who care about you for you and not what you have to offer them.

Find an interest and join a club. My daughter is in a writer's club, and my son is in a coin collecting club, for example.

stop being sad and start making friends. I would suggest playing a sport.. I think that's the best way to make friends.
