Also I think when people are convinced that others do not care about them no matter how much others try to convince them, it's something to address in said therapy. There might be something there that needs to be explored. Why do you think they don't care? What makes you worry or wonder? Do you feel this way about other people or only therapists?

I agree with this completely. In fact, I think it would be harmful if a therapist started caring about us in the same way a close friend or family member would. They're there to help us figure out our lives from an objective perspective, not to become embroiled in them.
It really sucks to feel like nobody (including T) cares, but it can be a rich opportunity to explore why we feel that way.
Take care.
