I'm not sure I understand the distinction you are drawing here.
> Like what about people who don't love their fellow man all that much? I mean is that even allowed?
“Allowed” as in “not sinful”? No.
“Allowed” as in “forgivable”? Yes.
> If I'm a Christian do I have to love my fellow man to the point of charity?
For certain values of “have to”, yes, though it doesn't have to be expressed by giving money to a recognized charity. But equally Christianity means you have to accept that virtually every actual person will fall short of what they “have to” do.
> What if I call myself Christian but I think most people are rude and selfish and have a hard time loving them.. does that make me not Christian?
No, having a hard time doesn't make you not Christian.
