Discussion anyone only care about animals?

i feel like i dont expect anything in return from animals. it is enough just to care for them and love them. i volunteer at a dog shelter and never have i wanted anything in return from these dogs. just their happiness is enough.

humans on the other hand i often find so disappointing. i think it is because they can communicate with you through a shared language, which often makes interactions painful. i dont like that i understand humans because of their capacity to hurt, but im perfectly content with not understanding animals aside from their body language.

i find it super hard to care about other people and their suffering/pain/death but whenever i see nature and animals suffer it always makes me feel bad, i care a lot for them, not sure why but i've been that way since i was a child

I just find animals much easier to trust. They tend to be more honest and predictable.
Humans are much more deceptive.

I have a hunch, that ideologies and faiths, or just culture at large, might be to blame. Other species doesn't filter their impressions through complicated frameworks.

i feel this way too... humans have the great capacity to lie, whilst animals abide by laws that are easier to understand. the spoken language is a gift and a curse with humans i feel

I care a lot about animals. I always wanted to work with dogs someday as a part time thing.

But Ive applied but eh. But animals are just the best to cheer ya up when people cant.

They wont judge you. Plus they care

100%. i feel like with animals, they are very pure and can't really hurt us the same way people can, at least with intent. when i was younger and even now when im at a friends house (even if they are my best friends!), i see myself isolating from them for a bit just to hang out with their pet dog or cat. i just think me personally i hold a lot of subconscious resentment for people
