Is it really that important that you show someone you care? I've always found secretly betraying alien invasions to keep them safe while not letting on that I'm anything more than a weird former boss works great for me.

[pop_of_color]

idk people like that shit. some of them. most of them.

Most people like flowers, right?

[pop_of_color]

idk do they? i think they're a waste of money. they don't do anything. if someone's gonna buy me something, buy me something useful.

spend time with them
listen to them
tell them
remember something theyve talked about + follow up
get to know what they like
share what you like with them + dont mind if they hate it
ask for their help + accept it
offer yours - imposing it
confide
dont lie
...

more specific needs more details

[pop_of_color]

fuck that's so sappy and SO MUCH WORK.

how the fuck are you supposed to remember something they talked about and bring it up later unless you're like writing shit down

[disguarded]

Depends on the person. Everyone is different.
Find a common area of interest?

[pop_of_color]

then what

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Show an interest in them! Ask them how their day was, listen to them when they're upset, tell 'em when something reminds you of them. Little things that show you're thinking about them, y'know?

[pop_of_color]

christ that involves so many emotions and so much energy jfc

i mean, is it like, sending random texts just like 'hi i'm having an adequate day'

By not being a wanker to them.

I don't know. I can't always do 'feelings' myself.

[pop_of_color]

the fuck does 'wanker' mean

text.

[ohshutup]

that depends on the sort of caring
friendship, or romantic?

[pop_of_color]

ugh

romantic

VOICE.

[arsiento]

Just tell 'em. No bullshit.

[pop_of_color]

tell them fucking what

'i care about you. i'm going to go die in a hole now bye'

[dexnav]

that's easy!
find out what they like or something that they want to do, and do it without them asking
it's a nice surprise to show that you're listening to them

[pop_of_color]

how do you find out without asking them

text

[notsheepish]

Its a real mystery huh?

[pop_of_color]

[PANIC PANIC PANIC PAN-- calm the fuck down, Rosa. Jesus.]

yeah total mystery

especially who this could be about

cause it's totally definitely not about you

If you truly consider feelings to be so useless, then there should be little point in sharing those that you might experience with others. Caring for others in the first place should be deemed just as useless using such logic.

[Besides, to care is to be weak and to show it is certainly so. Get with the program, Rosa.]

\o/

[pop_of_color]

won't argue with that.

feelings are disgustingly unavoidable sometimes
