I've always wondered, when someone says they don't care about something, is it true that they actually do care in most cases? Like if something is bothering them and they say they no longer care, but they keep talking about it, it seems like they really do care but are trying to hide it. Or if you are joking around with someone, like a friend, and you get the feeling you are annoying them and you apologize, and they say you are fine and that they don't care. Sometimes even then, they seem like they actually do care but they don't want to tell you for some reason and just secretly hope you will stop. What are your thoughts? Just wondered.
