For me it depends on the person and situation. For the most part I only truly care about the people who have shown me love and support, mostly because these are the ones I actually get close to. For everyone else, it's just not the same...even if I show support, it doesn't really affect me.

As for sad stories, I only get upset if it's something I can relate to. For instance, if someone commits s. Because of mental illness, or recently a girl who has been missing for almost 30 years and her mother is still looking for her, because I recently lost a child.

But overall, I tend to care about animals more than humans-pitbull discrimination upsets me a lot.
