I realize that it may be selfish to even wish to be loved but I do not think it is unreasonable for people to want to feel loved as well as to be able to love.
Any thoughts?

If you do not feel loved (i.e. love yourself) you cannot love others, period.
Try to find all the people in your life you have enjoyed being around, even if just for a moment. The reason you liked to be around them is because they had the wish of love for you (they don't have to be perfect people). Imagine them sending you love, until you filled up and the love begins to naturally overflow to others.
Check out a book call [U]Awakening Through Love[U] by John Makransky. It contains some beautiful meditations to awaken to love that surrounds you all the time.
