Do you feel really loved by everyone in your life?
Can anyone love you exactly like you desire to be loved so you would be completely satisfied with them as well as life?

"Why would God create mankind with a deep desire to be loved and never meet it?"
You tell a lot about yourself with that statement. You aren't feeling loved by God? Okay. Perhaps you haven't met Him. Or perhaps you keep looking to external things to satisfy you? When Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is within" he was saying that His Spirit lives inside of those who trust Him.
I can tell you personally that Jesus delivered on his promise of the Holy Spirit. He promised the Holy Spirit at the end of John 15 and in the midst of John 16. You trust God for what He promised, and tell Him that you are doing so, and you won't feel alone anymore.
"Do you feel really loved by everyone in your life? "
No. And I am not asking them to. I care about God's love for me. That's number one. It would be silly for me to get love from people who don't want to give love. And when it's all said and done I still need the love that God gives me over all the love anyone else can give. I guess I am saying, start at the top!
"Can anyone love you exactly like you desire to be loved so you would be completely satisfied with them as well as life?"
If I continue along the vein I am talking to you about, there is a good reason to put aside what you want. This process may be referred to as 'dying to yourself'. It's a spiritual thing where you set your desires aside in favor of proving to God that you love Him. Fasting is a good way to do that. It doesn't have to be something that you eat, but it ought to be something that you love. For me it's smoking. I only quit for a time to show God that I love Him.
In turn He responds with love. Have you ever meditated upon these words?
Psalm 42
1As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
Have you ever felt like that? I didn't. But I wanted to. Why was David feeling things about God when I hadn't? What was it like to desire God so much that you literally pant? Well, I prayed to God about that, and He answered me. The next thing I knew, I was going through what David was talking about in that Psalm.
You can have that too. It's just that you have to put yourself away for the benefit of knowing God better.
Peace to you.

You answered your own question. Because he loved us. But he just wanted us to love him on our own free will. I don't feel loved by everyone in my life, but I try and have love for all mankind. You never know it might make a difference one day if all of us did.

Insecurity? Self-importance? low self-esteem? inferiority complex?
I am loved in this life, not by everyone, but I don't NEED to be loved by everyone.

nobody can love you as you desire but they can love you as they desire. other wise it`s the wrong person that you love.
