>So I've internalized that, as a man, no woman will "love me unconditionally" like the Disney stories say they will.
Good, It means you grew up.
>If the trope is to take women off the pedestal, should men be taken off the pedestal as well, as friends?
Definitely, we're talking about people after all, men aren't better than women morallywise like some want to believe in.
>Is there anyone really in life that you can trust to not fuck you over?
Yes and no, you can trust someone, but there's no guarantee that they will always be loyal to you, you have no control over this.
>I know your parents are supposed to be that support for you, but what if you're not close to them or come from a fucked home? what then?
Focus more in yourself than on the ability to depend on people, nobody owe you anything, even your parents, that's the harsh truth, if the quality of your life is dictated by how many people you have supporting you, then, be prepared to play a luck game for the rest of your life.

Try reading about stoicsm, its a good philosophy, and will help you to rely more on yourself than in others, so they will not have the power to fuck you over.

Let me put it this way, what people want from you isn't always something you don't want to give away. As far as friends go, mine keep me around because they like my jokes and advice. I hang around them because I like their jokes and they care about what I have to say. No one will love you or like you unconditionally, but some people will love you or like you because of who you are. I mean do you only like your friends because you can mooch off of them?
