Hi teachers,
this sentence "The only feeling I need is to be cared" sounds natural to you? if not, how do you say it in a more appropriate way?
thanks a lot

Hmmm...

Not so easy.

"The only feeling I need, is to feel that I am cared for."

Perhaps he meant, "The only feeling I need is to be cared for." but what about, "I only need to feel cared for."

[secjill]

thank you Lorikeet, I think that makes sense
