Prepare yourselves for the stupidest question youll receive all day. How can I determine through word, thought and action that people truly care about me?

There are people who care.
I'm one of them.
My psychologist calls me the biggest empath he has ever met. Part of that comes from subordinating my feelings to others for so many years, and as I am so soft hearted and lived for so many years unable to experience compassion for myself, I did so through my compassion for others. But the major thing is, I truly care about people. A lot.
Are there many of us? I believe there are.
How to find us? First, learn to love yourself. Learnt to compassion with yourself. Know yourself. Enjoy being positive. Learn healthy boundaries with your relationships in your life. It's amazing (and empowering) how a polite "no" will quickly weed out people who will try to use you or hurt you. If you set high standards for yourself, you will attact more kind, positive people in your life, and help you discern when someone not-so-nice wants to hurt you.
Carry the positive with you, and put that out, into the universe. Put out that good, and someone that truly cares will answer. I should know. I have dozens of wonderful people in my life. And I live in the most isolated, rural setting possible.
