I want to say that they mean the same thing, but it takes a while to think about the differences and here they are:


Caring: Means that you deeply love this person and respect them. You really want the best for that person no matter what and you always try to make things better for them. If they are having a bad day, that person really tries to make it better for them because they don't want to see them unhappy.

Supportive: Means that you are 100 percent behind someone on a decision or hobby that someone else is in and you would do anything to help make the sacrifices for it or make them do better in that.

So basically you can deeply care about someone and yet if they make a decision that you don't like at all, you wouldn't be supportive of the situation.

well a person that is caring and supportive of others is there for them and listens to them and reacts to them (actually cares) and also tries to help them in any way he or she can. The difference between caring and supportive is that being caring means that it DOES make a difference to you or you do feel sympahty towards someone for what they are going through and you are there for them in some ways like by listening. Being supportive means being there in other/more ways, like doing things to help someone and encouraging them in what they want to do (you can be caring but disencourage someone in what they want to do) and be there in most ways. Usually when you have one of the qualities you also have the other one. I hope I helped.
