The Dominant Feeling is Loneliness

Wow, that sounds like you are really depressed!
In my opinion, if "people continue to disappoint", then that's probably not the fault of the people but your unrealistic expectations about them. In any case, retreating into loneliness is not the right thing to do in this situation.
And a longing for the end of loneliness has nothing to do with love.

Loneliness and depression are two different emotions. Loneliness is a universal feeling that we all go through sometimes, but depression is the loose of passion and excitement about life, and this is not how I feel.

I understand you, FeminineHeart. The longing for connectedness in a world that is often untrustworthy. Finding the solid ground within on which to stand apart and whole, between moments of connection. Loneliness is sometimes mixed with depression, and can sometimes lead to it ... but it is also its own unique part of the human journey.

Trust, love, friendship, ect.... comes down to Loyalty, its definition is deep and far beyond love relations and cheating bla bla bla. It's about being firmly committed to your values no matter what/when / where or who, every time we don't hold on that commitment  we slip into mistrust, betrayal, irresponsibility, not being accountable and so on, this is what causes disappoint and it eventually leads to severing ties with people we once thought they were the ONE ( friend, partner, husband ect.....).

There are times were you need to pick your battles and severe ties with the ones that cause harm to you or loved ones, but that won't be the case for of them, set your limits and focus on the unique qualities each one has, and live life as there are no perfect humans.

It's all in our mind!Learn to control your emotions and not your emotions will control you!Be happy with little things,and never depends your happiness to someone else or other people:)
