THis may be a different thing, but when I experience this sort of not-getting-love pain, I interpret it as wanting love/approval from some source where it's just not available. I never thought to believe I have an excess of love for that source. It's just such a needful feeling to me. Surely love is something else? But I'm not that good at identifying loving feelings in myself.
