I care, but I think lately I err too much on the side of being careful, especially in real life. Online is a bit less this way, but it seems like any more, I can see the crap coming, and it's not a question of *if* I want to get burned, but how and *when* I want to get burned.
Seriously, I can remember so many times when I just *gave* people my money, believed their stories and promises....and then, it was all lies. Or the person making the promises just took a damned powder, or just stopped talking. I can remember feeling *good* about being able to write stories and share ideas and generally just be *open* to other people, back when I thought people knew *how* to be friends, back before other people just *attacked* me over and over. Was some of this my own fault? Sure. Who doesn't make mistakes? But sometimes you get burned on something *way* out of proportion to what you "did wrong".
And now? What was second nature before, is now something that I have to *make* myself do, in a calculated manner. I have to *make* myself care so that my own conscience doesn't die entirely. I have to *make* myself put up with people some days, so that I don't end up shutting them out altogether.
This is much easier to do online than in the real, but I try. I still put in the effort to care once in a while. What's the alternative, becoming someone who doesn't care *about anything* or *anybody*? No thanks.
I hope this helps....and be careful out there, getting burnt for caring is the worst, the scars it leaves are the worst, because it damages your faith in humanity.
Thanks for your time.
