I Have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

No one gives a damn about anyone.
Everyone, people you know, agencies, friends, family.
Everyone always says:
I'm here for you.
Just reach out.
I'm here to listen.
Etc....
Then they completly ignore, and avoid you at all cost when you do reach out.
The only reason they do end up helping/being there for / with anything
Is because...

1. They are getting paied to do so

2. They are getting or wanting to get something out of the situation.

3. They have a audience, that they are trying to look good for.

4. They need to check off their "good deed" for the day/week/month/year.

5. They need something to disscuss, and brag about to theur social circle.

6. They need to do something, so they can post it all over social media. To get patted on the back. The "Look what I did Syndrome"

@Mamapolo2016 I totally see your point of view. You set fantastic boundaries by the way. Kudos!
However In my situation. I do not believe, nor do I claim that my problems are more important, or more serious than anyone others.
I am simply stating facts from my own experiences. Which 98% of the time have been completly unhelpful, and faulty. I am speaking of so called friends, medical personnel, mental health workers, family members, church family, crisis workers. I know many people are not going to believe that I have been harrased, let down, ignored, shuned, abused more, among so much more. By these people I listed. It's a everyday struggle.
I myself have a genuine heart I feel. I strongly believe my heart was created to love. I do listen to people regularly. And would do so for anyone here. I just don't understand why i can not seem to find anyone else willing to do the same. I'm not looking for a savior, or someone to rescue me all the time like your friends situation. I just need someone to be present. To listen. To be in the moment with me. To validate the unvalidated, and so on. Never in my entire life have I been herd, seen, protected or anything. Yes, my entire life. I can't grow though if everything is just stuffed inside. Yes, I have a boatload of coping skills. They are not always helpful.
