I Care…
“I care”, one of them overused phrases like “lol” and one phrase could be used in response to the other:
Person One: I care
Person Two: lol
Questions:
How do you know if someone truly cares? How do you know if people who say they care, or “I am here for you”, they are not just saying it? When you reach out and talk to these people who say they care, how do you know if they’re not just tolerating you?
These questions have been spinning around in my head for a while now, especially recently.
I haven’t figured out the answer.
That’s quite an open question, I think firstly it’s important to get your own heart in the right place, and then hope and trust that the right people will give you the help you deserve.
Not everyone is genuine, that’s for sure, but it’s good to give them the benefit of the doubt to start with, easier said than done. I guess once you’ve known someone for a while it’s then easier to tell if they care. If someone follows up words with some actions then they’re more likely to be genuine.
With regards to tolerating others, remember that no-one is going to feel like helping someone all the time and maybe it’s when someone doesn’t feel like helping and yet still does that makes them really care for someone.
There’s people I’ve known for over 3 years, or longer, and I still struggle to believe they care. I could write a really long reply, but I will save you from that. :p I know what you’re saying though, and you are right. Gotta hate insecurities etc.
