crying on christmas. i wish i could understand! :( please help?

I am sad because i am essentially alone on christmas and it makes me feel insecure and doubtful. My question is why are we supposed to give to others without asking for anything in return. I feel like recently i have been trying to give and give myself love, kindness, affection and attention on people who will just not return it. I feel like i am setting myself up with false hope and it makes me feel disappointed, even though being loving and selfess is about not asking or wishing anything in return. How can i free myself from this mindset? How is it even possible to not truly care if i get love and affection back if i have so little to begin with? If i want it and need it?! HOW? I know its selfish but i deserve to have people love me and treat me with sincerity and loyalty and honesty! I just want back what i put in! please someone help me!!!! I have no friends even though im so nice and loveable and beautiful and deserve the best.

Update:

But warren this no way for someone to live!

    In your case, I would suggest giving your time and compassion to a charity for Christmas. There are thousands of unloved or just unfortunate people out there who would always appreciate a helping hand. You may not get "love" from that, but you would be thought of endearingly.

    As for receiving love, perhaps you are giving too much of yourself to people who don't deserve it. Love is a give and take, it is not a complete charity case. Someone who loves you will love you even when you can't give them your best. Stop wasting your best on people who take it for granted, and save it for someone who will cherish it. We can't keep running on empty, sooner or later you will burn yourself out. Have love for yourself right now and keep your heart open to the kindness of others. They're out there, you'll find people. Share your kindness with them. :) Good luck! Merry Christmas.

    I can only tell you what I do, hope that is OK. I trust God, and not saying you don't, either.

    But in trusting God, I get in 'touch' with Him as my source, not people.

    People are just too needy, as you put here, and just don't have anything to give

    back to me. They would if they knew what to do: they don't. So when I give,

    I know that. Don't expect anything because....

    there isn't anything for them to give to me.

    How does 'thanks' actually help us anyway? Might be nice to hear it, and it is,

    but it can't pay for what you did. We can't get paid for what we do.

    Only God can 'pay' us. And my return to God is to do things for others

    and not expect anything they can't give to me. Knowing what I did also

    blesses me.

    You have needs, and they deserve to be fulfilled, but people can't do that for you.

    Only God can do that.

    Love is something we all need. That should be the only thing you ask in return. Maybe you should do something like this to brighten your spirits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtHPGP5tKWo.
