You know, I've felt the exact same way, but I have to say: is that so wrong? Is it so selfish?
The opposite perspective to relationships is to give unconditionally, without regard to what you recieve in return, and it's easy to see how that can go overboard, or be driven by an unhealthy impulse towards self-sacrifice. Perhaps it's only logical to want to be with people who appreciate you as much as you appreiciate them; anything else is quite often a waste of your time.
