As stated above: DAE feel like a dark hole when it comes to love and affection towards you?

Like, sometimes I get the impression that no matter the amount of love, affection or validation I get from friends or family, saying they love me, that I am important to them etc. it will never be enough to ... I don’t know... fill a deep hole I have within me? I feel like the second someone says they love me, it slips through this hole and is never to be seen again. I am constantly looking for a way to fill the hole up but no matter what others do it feels like it won’t close..
