I however chose to change how I thought of therapy, and thought I could perhaps share a different perspective with you, in the hopes that it may help you at some point.
A therapist is a service provider, the service he or she offers is not that of friendship, therefore a client is never paying someone to care about them.
(Personally,its irrelevant to me whether they care about me or not, all I care about is "can you do the job", as I am extremely goal orientated where therapy is concerned.)
Services a client pays for include unbiased insight, guidance, lessons on acquiring coping skills etc....
Hope that is of some help to you, because if the only thing stopping you from seeking therapy is a skewed thought process, then I do believe you're robbing yourself of something that could be very beneficial to you.

You're absolutely right...
