When you care about someone

Do you find that you care less about that person if the caring is not reciprocated?
If the person is emotionally unavailable or just doesn’t seem to have the emotional intelligence to care about someone other than themselves - are you able to stop caring about them?
Is it all the caring just a waste of time?

I start to retreat. Unless it’s some medical issue why they can’t show care, or tough event they’re going through, I’d feel hurt if I’m the only one caring. I then kind of back away, sometimes fully too. 😞
