Person Who Thinks Animals Think Like Humans

In that location is a universal strength that unites all successful and happy business professionals: a dearest of animals. Some people like dogs, others similar cats, but everybody likes animals except for a few cranky people in the office.

In fact, I can become through my career and identify a half-dozen miserable people. They had delusions of grandeur and anxiety. None of them had animals. Not i.

I worked with a woman who was all about her family. I knew she was all about her family because all she did was tell me, hey, my family comes first. You lot know the blazon. But she was too ane of those super-moms who told everybody that she worked past "choice" because she felt particularly fulfilled by her job in homo resources.

She used that language IN Man Resource. Whatever, I still can't wrap my head around that.

So while she loved being a mom and being a VP of Hour, she was a miserable human being who never missed an opportunity to stab a colleague in the dorsum. Or in the face. Or the arm.

One twenty-four hours, this woman happened to overhear a conversation that I was having about my cat, Lucy. At present let me tell y'all near Miss Lucy. She was the bandbox goose of all cats. She was the apple tree of my eye, the cream of my wheat and the dearest bunches of my oats.

My conversation about Lucy was an opportunity for this HR lady to knock me downward. I happened to have a few pictures of Lucy in my office, and she sprang at the opportunity to jump into my conversation and lecture me on how childish and immature I looked with photos of my cats all over my role.

And my first instinct was like — who asked y'all?

Merely I was then shocked that I said, "I'chiliad sorry?"

So she repeated it. All of it. Guess what? In version two, I all the same looked like a moron with all of my cat photos.

I was just like — how is this my life? Working in HR with this witch? How much harder practise I have to piece of work to pay off these student loans? Should I let this woman kick me in the face, as well?

And it should come every bit no shock that the hateful HR lady didn't accept whatsoever animals in her house. Not a guinea squealer. Not a betta fish. Not a goddamn dust bunny. No animals. None.

And then all of this is just to say that people who love animals are great and happy. Everybody else will just bring you lot downward. Especially if they are HR ladies without cats or dogs.

But I Don't Like Pets

Not wanting to have the responsibility of having a pet isn't the same as hating animals, and sometimes it has everything to do with someone's past experience and even trauma. Nosotros will get into the latter a bit later.

People prioritize things differently. It is what makes u.s.a. all unique. People exist in this world who find no joy in caring for an animal that will never concord a conversation with them. Why pressure someone that thinks all pets are dingy, annoying and too much work to get one? No i wants to put some puppy into that sort of toxic relationship.

So, when yous're dealing with someone who cringes at social media cat photos or rolls their eyes at a funny part story virtually how your newest puppy sleeps upside down, they aren't cold-hearted or weird — OK, maybe a footling weird. Simply that's non the point. Recall about giving them a pass. Beast-keeping is merely non for them.

Understanding the Psychology of People Who Don't Similar Animals

OK, circling back to the past life experiences that turn some people into pet-haters. Y'all aren't going to know everything virtually a co-worker, nor should you. I don't want people to know my business.

If someone was bitten by a dog as a kid, it makes sense that they are anti-canis familiaris. The true cat haters make less sense, simply I judge scratches can hurt. Injuries are trauma, and seeing a pet in the wild volition downright startle some people.

Misinformation is a huge problem, even in the fauna-sphere. Pets carry diseases: Mostly fake. Pets requite yous worms: With rare exception, untrue. Exposure to pets causes allergies: Could be true, but by and large false since allergies are acquired past your torso'southward antihistamine response, not the animal itself. But if we've learned annihilation from COVID, correcting misinformation to someone's confront will only make them double down and make you double aroused.

It isn't your place to effort to convince someone to like pets, much less your pet. It can bring upwards some non-bang-up things. And so, just don't bring it up.

How Pets Improve Our Lives

If you are on the fence about pets, allow me try to convince you by telling you how pets improve our lives. Those of y'all that detest them volition probably always hate them. And for those of us that think Miss Lucy was the greatest cat e'er, then you're right.

Some people are more likely to go for walks when they have a dog companion to walk with them. It makes sense. Having pets makes y'all healthier overall.

They reduce stress, which lowers claret pressure. And, if yous work in HR, you demand all the assistance you can get. Pets make the states less lonely. Pets brand us happy and tolerable for humans because they are the best companions you can take.

I realize that pets aren't for everyone. I just don't get it, though.
