How to Know if Someone Truly Cares

When you give your best to someone it's natural to hope for the same in return. Most of us begin life naively believing everyone cares. As we "grow" we learn this ideal scenario, is not always true.

Sometimes we find ourselves giving to people who only take and this can be hurtful. Many studies have been concluded about people who are deceptive. How do we know who has our best interest at heart? How do we identify those that truly care and those who do not?

When considering who has your best interest at heart and who does not, ask your self a few questions. Here is a checklist of thoughts to go over when deciding if a person cares about you or only themselves.

• Do they ever give silent treatment?

• When having conversations do they actively listen to you?

• Do they know or remember days that are important to you?

• Are they around when you are distressed or only when you feel upbeat?

• When in public is their attention on you or everyone else in the world?

• Are you ever allowed to make decisions?

• Do they consult with you about important life issues or do they go to other people?

• Do they make vacation plans without you? And then hide what they are doing?

• Do you find yourself being surprised or shocked a lot because they sneak around?

These questions are important to understanding if the person you care about cares for you in return.
