It sounds like you're going through a tough time emotionally. It's okay to feel down about it, but remember that building intimate relationships takes time and it's different for everyone. You're not alone in this.
I can relate to feeling anxious about forming close bonds. Sometimes I think our expectations of love and friendship are shaped by what we see around us, which can make our own experiences seem less valid. But every relationship is unique.
It's important to be patient with yourself. Not having been in love yet doesn't mean it won't happen. Focus on what you can control, like nurturing the connections you do have and being open to new ones when they come along.
Feeling depressed and anxious about relationships can be really hard. Have you considered talking to someone about it? A therapist or counselor might help you explore these feelings and give you tools to cope with them.
I admire your honesty about not believing in unchanging friendships. People change, and so do relationships. It's okay to have doubts. Maybe focusing on quality over quantity in friendships could bring you more satisfaction.
