I've been in abusive relationships before, and I've had people that are only friends with me because there's something in it for them. These things can be that I babysit their dog, provide them with cigarettes and alcohol, just someone to listen to them talk and give them attention, or they just wanna get in my pants. My lonely and delusional mind always ignores these things because I don't want to face the fact that people don't really love or care about me.

So my question is, what are some of the signs in communication that prove that a relationship with someone is genuine, and that they honestly care about you?
