OK. So what is the difference between "caring for" someone and "caring about" someone? Is caring "for" someone like taking care of them, while caring "about" someone is wanting good things for them?? I am so confused.
I was struck by that sentance in Speaker's post, as well. But my therapist said that he cared "for" me, but the way he said it, it meant that I was an individual (i.e. not just a generic client), and that the outcome for me - as an individual - was important to him. I'm not sure I really want to know about the difference - I kind of like the way I think it is...
