is it common for a middle aged male to feel uncared for

i am now a male in my middle age, the only support i have really are my elderly parents and they live far...they phone me a few times each day, i live in a flat on my own, lived here 18 years...i have mental problems i cope with...and sometimes i feel abandoned in life, deserted..like no one- besides my parents- care for me, no one gives a damn about me or cares for me...i live a lonely existence and isolated sometimes too....sometimes i don't see eye to eye with my parents and even feel uncared for by them too.

i worry about my future too, what am i going to do?

Men are many times devoid of affection. Unconditional love will only come from your parents and if you’re lucky, your kids. Do you have any mental health professionals you can talk to?

Yes, it is. Because by and large, it's true. No reason to hold a grudge or be upset about it once you let go of your desire to be cared for. I suggest reading the Bible & a good church...but if you just can't do that for whatever reason..get yourself some of the writings of the Stoics. It will help you process your situation better.
I have been there as many men have.
