How much do you care?

[PureChaos]

i decided long ago that everyone is a retard until they can prove otherwise. i speak to and meet a lot of people and i wouldn't invest in any of them until they can prove to me they are worth investing in. my family and close friends i would always be there for but other than that i need convincing.

I am a secular Humanist, so I do indeed care about people to some level, however I won't stress myself to the point of mental breakdown about it.

Instead I do what I can, for example I give a % of my pay to MSF, I realise that all I can do are small things, but it is better than nothing at all.

I keep very few people close and care about even less. Works for me as I like to get back what I give which is an attitude that doesn't mesh well with most. Most of my friends are reliable yet deemed socially inadequate as am I. XD

 

[Akytalusia]

i don't care about any individual more or less than any other individual. from my perspective, every living thing is exactly the same.

I care about my wife and kids and immediate family. I have 5 close friends and we grew up together and joined the army together so, quite literally, relied on each other to keep each other alive.

I have no interest in other people.

I have no "dickish" reason not to care about other people it's just purely down to I don't know them, I have little interest in knowing them and if anything happened to them it wouldn't affect me in the slightest.

I suppose thats a little harsh, if I saw someone getting a severe beating off a group of lads i'd stop to help them, mainly because I like to fight and my wife doesn't like it so that way i'd have an excuse, and the fact I can't stand people that need 8 friends to fight 1 person. If folk are too scared to fight 1 on 1 then don't fight at all .... pussies.

Or if I saw an elderly person having a problems i'd give them a hand.

I'm not an utter bastard I just have too much time worrying about my own family and friends to give a shit about other peoples.

In everyday interactions, I tend to not think too much on what people are thinking and how they feel, I just try to make a few positive contributions.
Hold the door for someone, compliment a stranger, be polite, you know.

Just little nice things. Because overthinking niceness would drive me mad.

Alright, I'll start by saying that I'm a nihilist, meaning I don't believe life has a purpose beyond what we assign to it. So that means I'm not bothered by death, and I'm not at all concerned with the future of humans as a species. I do care about my friends and family as well as myself. As for the people I don't know or don't like... I couldn't really say I care about them very much. That's not to say I'd wish harm on them, but I'm not concerned about their lives and how they deal with their problems, because I have my own things to deal with.

I'm with you on this one. If I end up talking to a person, I start thinking in more depth about how much I care about what they're talking about, what they do, etc. Otherwise, I'm just a courteous citizen.

If someone is hurt or if their car is in trouble, I will stop to help.

See that warm and toasty badge? Tis accurate. That said my bloody annoying superiority complex and moments of evil makes me care less about a stranger if I have heard them speak and they do not come across as being intelligent. I cannot suffer fools, or even people who are just uneducated unless they have so much potential in them that putting a battery in their hands would literally cause an explosion.

I still have a strong sense of empathy, even when an asshole is hurt or needs something, I would rather help them than spite them. And hearing about people's deaths and tragedies often makes me upset too, I feel their pain too easily. Listening to some of the hardships my friends have suffered brings me to tears so... yeah. I am caring and have a very strong sense of empathy, even if certain people do... dull it from time to time.

 

[Esotera]

I care superficially about a few people, but if the cost of that care was too great to me, I'd stop. Guess that makes me evil or something.

 

[Titan Buttons]

I care.

I will listen to your shit and help you deal with it.
(Did not intend for that to rhyme)

I'm basically a straight gay-friend. (who has a girlfriend)

Yeah that sounds like me, though gay-friend joke doesn't come to mind when I think of caring for someone

A guy that listens to his (female)friends problems.
Pretty stereotypical gay-friend stuff.

''Talk to me about it gurl!''
One of my female friends even said ''If you were gay I'd be all over you!''
Which is odd but I know who said it ^^

lol only a girl can say that and it make sence XD
But with me and my mates talking about each others problems all the time, reguardless of sex, it is actually weird if we find out one of us are uncomftable with talking about such things
And you know, girls like a guy that listens

 

[Blow_Pop]

I care about....4 people.......no wait..7 people......and 4 of them I know off of here. 6 of them are male and one is female. none are related to me. Though the degree of caring varies person to person. 3 of the people I care for well one is my best male mate who I've known for 23 years now and he's like family to me and one is my female best mate who I havenae known quite that long but she's still family to me and her I've known for 7 or 8 years. The other 5 I havenae known them quite that long--4 years, 1 year, 6 months, 6 months, and 2 or 3 months respectively--and I care insomuch as I game with them. Though outside of that....*shrugs*

 

[EeveeElectro]

I don't really care about strangers, but it's not like I don't give a fuck. If they need help, I'll help them. I know loads of people who would completely ignore it if a stranger got knocked down by a car in front of them.

It takes a while but I really care for people I love, or like a lot. I mean really care, to the point of putting my life on the line for them. I try to just reserve that for family though because my friends just come and go all the time; I'm tired of giving someone all my love and respect and they respond by leaving and forgetting about me in a few years.

 

[Blue Hero]

If I don't know you, I don't care about you.

 

[Something Amyss]

I don't care much at all, really. Few people I hold dear, most people I don't care about. But I'm also not normal, and I've made peace with that.

 

[Ohhi]

I guess that the way I look at it is that everyone and everything is meaningless in the grand scope of things even myself, its hard for me to care about anything really because all of my hopes and dreams are meaningless and inconsequential to the world just as everybody else's are so really what's the use of caring.
