A well meaning person: You matter.
Emotionally traumatized people: Even when I am *not* beneficial to you?.

People say they care. However if you had past dealings with walking dumpster fires pretending to be people, and there is lot of that everywhere, your first reaction might be to doubt these claims instinctively, regardless of who expresses that.
All too often people say they care when really what they mean is:
"I care as long as it doesn't inconvenience me at any point"
"I care as long as I don't have to put much efforts in committing to fixing problems"
"I care as long as you don't expect me to be there for you, the way you were there for me"
Does this sound familiar in the slightest? For your sake I hope it doesn't and as you read through my thread you see nothing but edgy cynicism.
