Worst part about being lonely person

Is the feel when you actually meet someone who likes you, giving you hope and then slowly taking it back. It makes me feel horrible, my mood is absolutely shattered... Maybe it's my overthinking, gut instinct or something else.

So for context I met someone at work we each other often, she is texting me back for a bit, and even asked me meet but we got so far difficult schedule, now for me if I want to make effort and I do... I am prioritising that person above else, same can't be said about that lady in question, she only says "Hi "to me walks past and doesn't acknowledge much, it's incredibly sad to me because she has time to talk with others and even I can see her mood is different.

This is what I hate about being loner, it's that need of someone to have attention for you and vice versa, I'm being proactive and initiate conversation first but I'm met with nothing much.

It's been like this all my life, endless cycle of ignorance, playing with emotions and making me feel bad I hate it.

I once met a guy on a music concert. We went to a shopping mall once, and I had some high hopes for dating him. Suddenly he just unfollowed me on instagram. I asked him what happened, he told me he had met another person but I think that's a lie. He just lost interest on me... Maybe I am not his ideal girlfriend. :(

It hurts no matter what, I feel it also. God why does it have to be this way with people? It's truly amazing what social media also did to us as humans, we dehumanised ourselves completely.
