I am a carer.
My job is in care.
I care for those around me and animals.

I care how a peron feels.
I care about their dreams,aspirations,goals and them as a whole.

I am forever caring.

care
 

I care about alot of people who post on these forums. Some I consider good friends, we talk on the phone, I've been to their home etc. Some I've chatted to for years, some I love deeply, and of course some I only know from reading their posts. But yes I do really care about some of them.

I care, yes. Deeply.

I do not care for drama, lies and people who live their lives in some type of cyber bubble.

There is a whole, big, real World out there! Some folks need to explore it.

I read this once and I think this sums it up for me (for the most part.)

Dear Friend's

People ask, "How can you be friends with someone you've never met?"
I tell them, "You've never been online I bet!"

It's something people offline will never understand.
You open up your heart to friendship with your typing hands.

It's a world full friendship at your finger tips, there is so much online,
it only takes a heart to reach people with your touch.

First you start out online, surfing all around.
Next thing you know a great friend will be found.

You will chat a lot and surf cyber space.
Soon it will be your second home, a comforting, special place.

A Friend to share your dreams and your tears
and to help each other wipe away life's fears.

You will share life together and help each other along
You will make it thru bad weather because friendship is so strong.

No matter how far apart you go, your keyboards will keep you together,
and in your heart you will know you don't need a face to be a true friend forever.

So, How do you explain this to people who've never been online?
I guess it takes a gesture of friendship & a little bit of time.

So let's start by sending this around and passing our special touch.
A smile, a website, a gesture starts it all becoming friends doesn't take much.

I Care

For those who have done nothing but daily show me their friendship. I have lots here who email text or phone. Most I've never met. Some I have lol

I dont care for drama. And choose to be selective about who I allow in my every day life. :)

Maya Angelou's Book - to her daughter
 

I cannot remember the title, but Rosie has the book. In the book there was a part about telling the truth to others. When people asked how you were to be honest. Tell them your back hurts, your m.s. is flairing up & you have to go to the grocery store and really don't feel like going, or you just got diagnosed with Lupus. I know I know...most will back up 100 feet and answer the question as most do (fine thanks and you?). This time I say just be real, honest, and put it out there. But that is just me being real. I would rather be me, and be real then otherwise. :cigar2:

I care.

An online community is like any other with a cross-section of people all with a myriad of different needs and intentions. True, some of those are incompatible with me and vice versa but there’s nothing wrong with that. Stripping out those mismatches, I believe there remain many genuine individuals who have ideas I want to hear, jokes I want to laugh at, experiences to guide me and the humanity to offer heartfelt support when life challenges us. I believe it’s a fundamental human need to connect in this way and how could I possibly say that a connection with them is somehow less because I type and read rather than talk and listen? It’s about the intention behind the words and I know that mine, and plenty of others, are genuine. So yes, I do care and I’m glad to have the chance to be a part of this community.

this is a curious thread, especially for an empath like me...i cannot put into words how online relationships have affected me...in a good way :)

It would be weird to keep coming back to a site if you don't care. What would be the point? Perhaps shit stirring, but I haven't engaged in a dialogue with those people, as far as I know. I probably care more for people I interact with often, especially those who I have met in real time. There are many I know in real time with whom I would love to spend more time (geographically challenging).
