Specific instances of being let down can be crushing, but if that's all you ever experience that can be even worse.
Love/affection is a basic human need. It's on the same level as hunger on maslows hierarchy. Think about how much of society and media is oriented around people being together.
I don't think these people are taking love too seriously, I think they are badly adapted to what is actually required from them.
