How true is it that the more you "want" someone, then the less that they "want" you in return?
Not just romantically, but in other social interactions too.

Relationships aren't mostly asymmetric, and care doesn't mostly diminish the recipient's interest.
The trick is to express how you care, without overstepping the mark. This does not mean to hide your emotions or to shy away from people. You can in fact do the opposite.
Make sure that you aren't giving people too much unwarranted attention.
Don't confuse the word unwarranted with the word interest.
You can show interest without your interest being unwarranted, even when approaching someone new when they haven't done anything to gain your interest or earn anything.
(I should give you an example maybe, as it's a bit confusing, but I wanted to keep it simple.)
