During the last five years, maybe a little more. I've had really big problems with some of my friends, the situations vary from people to people but I think the most common theme among them is that I feel under appreciated by them.
Just this year I've cut ties or distanced myself form four people I used to talk to regularly and that I trusted the most. As I said it's an issue that comes years prior to this one, but I'm getting a feeling that it doesn't matter what I do or what I don't do I can never please anyone.
I don't consider myself to be a shitty friend, actually quite opposite. I'm the type of person that will hear you when you're down, or look up for you when you're going through stuff, I would buy stuff for you if I'm going to another country, among other things. Yeah, I have my flaws, but I don't feel they outweigh the good stuff.
Usually the people I cut ties with are inconsiderate to my time or feelings, selfish, are not willing to talk if something goes wrong, etc.
I just find myself in a position in which I can't trust other humans, they all turn to be the same. And I really try to be this caring person to other people, but I just don't feel it anymore, I don't feel like the positive emotions to actually care for someone else or do things for them. If they talk to me I really don't care, I don't worry for them.
I'm becoming lonelier each time and I think that I won't be able to find people to talk to anymore.

First I'm sorry you feel that way. I don't have advice though, I will make stuff up
I think that you exist, so there must be others. I feel that way sometimes too but then you find 1 rare person who has lots of good qualities and it makes me glad, reassuring me that not all people are bad. Since I kinda see that in you, you can know there are others...
tl;dr this feeling will pass, there are good people as caring as you and more.
