Re: To love, but not be in love.
Honestly the only other people I've heard talk like this get called "high as fuck".
/really enjoyed reading your comment, sorry I can't help. I really intensely love humanity and get warm fuzzy feelings about helping and protecting my fellow man a lot but individual humans seem determined to shit all over that so....
Eta: I don't see anything wrong with preferring to be alone to recharge at the end of the day in a way that doesn't involve mental or emotional support from another person. Maybe you're like an extreme introvert?
Re: To love, but not be in love.
What I mean is that I establish deep emotional attachments to the animals I work with/live with, and when any of them die or get really sick, I get heartbroken and cry. Because they were my friends, and I loved them very much. Even though they were "just" cats/cows/whatever, we had a nice friendship, and I loved them for that.
My parents long ago hardened their hearts against that kind of stuff, and they get exasperated with me for loving barn cats as much as I do my house cats. Or the fuzzy raccoon babies, even though they grow up to be aggressive and destructive.
I hear you on the individual people being dicks. But chances are, unless they are a really nasty individual, I'll still probably love them in spite of hating them. And I've learned that I'll indiscriminately endanger myself to protect someone regardless of who it is.
I literally cannot stop myself from being concerned about people and helping them. I walked in front of fast moving cars to grab children from in front of them. On the bus I get out of my seat for children with their parents, old people, and nuns (lol, which got me a thank you.)
This makes me sound like a pretentious do gooder, so I'm going to stop here. D:
Re: To love, but not be in love.
I'd like to think I'm a good person if in a slightly nutty, crunchy outer shell. I like doing nice things for people but only if they don't find out. Like I get belligerent and outright lie if confronted on doing something good. But I'm generally as polite as the situation calks for, if a bit reserved. I'm an undercover softie IRL. I like being a sweetheart but I don't like that people see it as a weakness to take advantage of?
I've kind of distanced myself from animals both physically and mentally lately. Doesn't seem worth the inevitable heartache to form an attachement anymore and it only distresses me if I manage to keep my emotions under check. So I just don't that much anymore. I did train a volunteer before ditching the animal shelter and he's doing good from what I hear so I don't feel too guilty? I don't really have anything to say about that? If it isn't affecting you negatively I think it's a good thing you care about animals so much. :D
Re: To love, but not be in love.
I feel you on not being an overt sweetheart-- I'm not a sappy person, and I'm not gentle. Most of my manners are old fashioned, or just downright reflex. I steered a Chinese transfer student across the road one dark and stormy night after we got off the bus together, because for god's sake the Chinese students take stupid risks in the road because they're not familiar with our road culture.
I wish I could distance myself from animals like that on one hand, but on the other, the love of having known them would never have been established. It hurts, and sometimes quite badly, to loose one, but I'll always remember how much I loved them and found them amazing when they were here.
I've lived on a farm since I was 4, and I've always been super attached to all of the animals. My rescue stories are kind of absurd and stupid sounding, but I'm proud for having saved them.
Like the one time when a family of ducks was wandering down from the pond. One of the ducklings came into the barn and was caught by one of the barn cats. The cat had it's head in her mouth, but I managed to catch her right as she was going to run off, and pry her jaws open. I had no idea if the baby was still alive, but I still walked a half mile to the pond to put it near the water.
The mama duck was swimming in circles and quacking in distress, because she lost a baby. The baby heard her and started peeping in my hands. So when I bent and opened my hands, it toddled out, and plopped into the water, and they reuinted in the center of the pond and started swimming circles together.
I was repeatedly told to leave the cat alone because there was nothing I could do to save the duckling, circle of life and all that, but I did anyway because I couldn't bear to not do something.
Again, sorry if I come across as bigging myself up. I just love everyone/thing.
