Why does councelors act like they care?

good counselors have/use what they call "non-possessive love" for their clients/patients.  They learn skills for being in the moment with the client they are currently with; for giving reflective feedback; for using a variety of techniques and strategies to best fit the client/patient's needs.  I also agree with the other answers-- no need to be cynical-- most therapists would be out there making a lot of money in business if they didn't really care about helping others.

It's in their narcissistic nature. But society has changed, so they try to cope with minority groups as best they can: by putting up a good image of themselves in front of people when its in their best interest.

:}\nSome people just don't care about others.\nwe cant let that interfere with the calling we have in life\nexcept perhaps we might feel called to witness to that person or  to pray for them./

Adder, if you anger an irrational person, they'll behave irrationally. But for the record I do notice that you apparently don't seem to care.

There could be two reasons\n1. they are trying to protect themselves or someone from some trouble\n\n2. They are selfish

Well, if he doesn't care about your opinions and feelings, that's probably a clue. If a man respects his significant others, he will listen to what they have to say, treat them with respect, and be there when they need him to listen or for a shoulder to cry on. He will be genuinely concerned when the other person tells him something, and will remember dates and anniversaries that are important to the two of them.

You care because it makes you feel different and that's perfectly normal.  Maybe you wonder if people are judging you because of it or maybe you feel that people stare at it.  Or maybe you just don't want to answer the "what happened?" questions.

They are egocentric. They think that the world revolves around them.

Assumstions, the biggest mistakes we all could ever make. Assuming anything about anybody or any situation is all in our mind. \nIn this situation, deep inside us even if we accept it or no but the real reason about that worry is we want that same friend to worry about us, we want that friend to care about us the same way we care about her/him. Actually we worry or let us mind wander is only because we all want to be cared, to be remembered, to be missed, to be of a great value to our friends...\n(I dont know if I am able to express, may be its more confusing, lets think on it, may be it may lead us to a better understanding of relationships and our own inner self)

don't you know?  EVERYTHING has to do with them.  if it doesn't, they make it their business, then it does have to do with them.  most aren't happy until everyone believes as they do.  sad, huh?

I asked a question not too different from yours not long ago. In a way I got the answer, not directly from any of the answers made, though some were very good answers. The answer came from a commonality that all the answerers had. This aspect I found in the worst, best and all the answers inbetween. \n\nWhat I found was that everybody said after you edited away the fluff they said one word. That word was me. What problems affect me, or the group I belong too. Many of the answers were in direct conflict with other answers. Yet the answer was what was right for THAT person at that time. our inability to have more empathy with others manifests itself in greed, selfishness and all the other base emotions. The inabiliy to stand in another's shoes leads to misunderstanding. \n\nThe second thing which was noted by a couple of the answerers are that we are tenents of the world. The Earth is  our home and it's our responsibility to take care of it. So the second of the three is for people to acknowledge that what happens around them IS their responsiility and if it is not right it is their duty to do whatever possible to right those wrongs, within reason of course. \n\nDo the first two and there is no need for a third solution. Many problems would solve themselves.

they do it because they think they are being compassionate.

Because, in the hopes that you will change your mind in the future, they want to be there to pounce. \n\nYou asked.

Superiority. We are better, so why should we care?\n\n;)

well, i too care for someone and also doesn't care back. but you only care about this someone because its either you have feelings for this someone or you just really care and want to make sure that this someone is always safe at all times. its not bad to care for someone. but someday, this someone would also care for you.
