I don't know how to make people like/care about me.
I can make "friends" but I can't make long-lasting, true connections with other people. I can't make the type of friends who would care to remember my birthday, or even contact me first without me prompting them. Hell, some don't even respond to my texts.
Even at work, I struggle to make them become more than just coworkers when many of them are already buddy buddy. My only friend right now is my gf.
How do I connect with others? Or is it truly not possible to make a real connection with others in 2017?

Why though? What hinders you from forging long lasting relationships?

You have to change. What do you have to offer other people that it's worth spending time with you? Nothing? Then you get no friends, that's life. Relate to people, talk about what they care about. They're probably thinking Oh fuck, Anon is texting me when you don't leave them alone you needy little faggot. You don't make anyone care. Some people aren't going to even if you try. Change your approach because whatever you're doing isn't working dipshit. You can make friends, but being insecure or needy is a sign of emotional instability which puts people off. Stop giving a shit if they don't initiate contact or don't respond, you're probably annoying as fuck to deal with. I would never be friends with someone like you if I knew they'd throw a fit if I didn't respond or text first. Grow up bud. It's entirely possible to make connections with other people, gradually, organically, it's not something you can force with someone.

Desperation is an obvious state of mind, and one that will lead to loneliness. Stop looking for connections, and friends. Stop needing other people, and start becoming content with yourself- that is when these relationships will start to appear.
"holy fuck me too"

This is the problem right there. You don't make people like or care about you. It happens naturally over time. If it doesn't happen at all then there is a problem with you that you need to figure out and address. Are you a kind person or a dick? Are you selfish or giving? are you a relatable person or an android that hides all emotion from the outside world?
