Does “I swear I care” mean someone actually doesn’t care?

so I'm new here, & I didn't realize that the forum changed the wording of my question before I posted it. my original question was, "if someone tells you, "I know it feels like I don't care, but I swear I do," does that mean that really do care, or that they just want you to believe that they do?"

It doesn't matter whether he cares or not if his actions end up being the same as if he didn't care. And if his worldview is so warped that he thinks his actions are good when they aren't then run from him ASAP. ㅤ

"I swear I care" sounds like something someone that has made too many repetitive mistakes to the point it has tainted the connection would say, It shows perhaps genuine intentions at the moment but if they have to swear that they care its questionable, it sounds like as if that person has not been very good at showing that they care.

Maybe... At least it points at something going wrong in some way.

That usually means he doesn't give a damn.

“I swear I care” can be a mini red flag. When someone truly cares, you feel it through actions, not dramatic phrases. Often people say this when they feel guilty, defensive, or know their behavior doesn’t match their words.

So: watch what they do, not what they swear.
