*Hugs* I know what you mean. The number of people i had an emotional connection with in my life are probably lower than three. And the relationships i had with these people were obsessive and codependent.
I hope you can have healthy relationships with supportive people that you can feel close to. And if it doesn't happen try to come to terms with not being connected to someone specific. Even if you don't have interpersonal relationships you are also connected to the world/the universe in general. That's how i feel at least.
I feel connected here, just knowing that you understand. I am sorry that you do, and that your experiences in a relationship have been so difficult. To your point about connection to the world/universe, I have had that in the past, but I am working on cultivating more now.
