A most excellent and very awesome answer.The MAJOR key that was said is to take responsibility for yourself! Highly sensitive people/cancer influenced types care too much and are concerned about other people and it is time to put up healthy boundaries - even if this seem challenging, be strong and you can do it. This leads to greater self respect and self worth.
As far as reaching out to others - I will reach out to those who have reached out to me and are by my side. I do this because they have proven to me that they value to the friendship. One ways, I tend to avoid nor do I want to be tangled up in that kind of nonsense.
The thing with other peoples behavior is to just be objective about it and not to take things personally. They have the issue and it is shown via attitude and behavior, if they rain on your parade, then they are not the company to keep. You can still love them but be detached and distance about it.
I also have a Cancer moon and it has taken me a long time to work with the Cancer energies, as my other Cardinal Planets aren't crazy about my Cancer stuff. I have a water venus square to jupiter and neptune so I suffer from rose-tinted glasses. I find water Venus to be a very caring and giving position. You just have set your boundaries and find a method of dealing with others, that works for you!
Life for yourself......there is a healthy way to be selfish.
I hope I made some sense here.......if not the -25 degree weather here has made me delirious.

You need to step back and only take responsibility for yourself. If you know your are right within your heart, and nobody is helping you; let it go. You know why? Becase that means you are suppose to learn how to overcome this on your own. Never depend on other people as if your well being 'depends' on it. I know reaching out to people seems very nice and it does help, but if they are not responding to you with help. Then its time to look at yourself and ask if you have been there for others when they needed you. Everything in life is balanced in one way or another, and this could just be the universes way of balancing things. If you always been there for people, then you have nothing to worry about; Stay content within your heart.
