I'm very sorry you're sad, because I care about you.

Deneb, can you maybe take a look at what you mean when you think about caring and attention? Do you mean the sort you might get if you took on the "sick" role? Or having someone care about you very deeply, as an equal? That might be an area for you to explore -- the latter may not feel quite as nurturing to you, but it's the one that provides the most lasting satisfaction, and is the most likely to continue. If you're looking for the caring that a sick child gets, you'll be disappointed -- it's exhausting to care for someone that way, and it's unlikely that you'll find anyone who can sustain that sort of attention.
I hope that helps, and I'm sorry I'm not a warmer person.
