Thank you for caring me vs caring about me?
Hi,
I'm wondering which sentence(s) is correct.
Judging from Google hit numbers, I think the first and the second one?
But I feel like I often hear people say "Thank you for caring me".
Do they have different meanings?
Could you tell me?
1) Thank you for caring about/for me. (Regarding preposition; "about" and "for", do they differentiate the meaning?)
2) Thank you for taking care about me.
3) Thank you for caring about me.
Thank you very much!

1) a) 'caring about' means you wish nice things in your heart/mind (it may be expressed in useful actions, but could be as little as sending a text 'hope you get better soon'). b) 'caring for' means you do kind actions. 2) There isn't a "taking care about" in this context (certainly that I use) but there is "taking care of", which is like 1b.

- Some people will use "taking care about" in a vaguer sense of principles, such as "They took care about their child's upbringing".
- "Thank you for caring me" doesn't exist, except perhaps in phone txting.
