The closer you get to someone, the more it matters for you to genuinely care for them. Those closer to you values the energy and effort that you put into really understanding them. Genuine care and compassion comes from a place of empathy. Just acting like you care is more about yourself (self-righteousness or pride) - doing it only because you want to be able to say you were good or right. But actually digging in and spend the energy to feel with someone - that is what is truly good for your relationship. To have a mature relationship, we must act mature by making this important distinction between acting versus being caring.
