Feeling as if you don't care about anything anymore may be related to anhedonia or apathy. Anhedonia is a mental state in which people have an inability to feel pleasure. It is often a symptom of mental health conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, and substance use.
Sometimes, apathetic feelings are a result of things we can recognize and change—for example, we're feeling bored at work or we're no longer attracted to someone we once felt attracted to. But sometimes apathy is a symptom of a larger issue we're facing, like trauma, grief, or an underlying mental health condition.
Apathy is a lack of feeling, emotion, interest, or concern about something. It is a state of indifference, or the suppression of emotions such as concern, excitement, motivation, or passion.

Apathetic subjects are passive, they are not worry about their health condition and they are not complaining. They show flattened affect without emotional response to a situation that normally elicits emotion. Depressed patients feel uncomfortable and actively avoid social situations.

There may be times when you feel that nobody really loves you because, simply, you cannot build genuine bonds of affection with others. Maybe you've hidden under your own skin and isolated yourself. Maybe you don't know how to build and maintain loving relationships. Then you feel trapped in a loneliness that hurts.
Briefly describe what happened that felt hurtful or disrespectful.
