For me I think it's something I strive for. And that's new for me
I don't know what cared for means. Is it the same as cared about? For some reason, it feels more personal.

Anyway. I don't know. I think my therapist cares about me, but I don't have any way to quantify or qualify it. It's important to me that a therapist doesn't feel uncaring toward me. As for other relationships, there would be my dog, and I definitely don't think he really cares about me all that much, except when it's food time, but I am still crazy about him.
