Yes, what is that? I know there are folks who perceive kindness as weakness and/or stupidity, and I have read that the same type of person will tend to loathe those character traits, and/or the people who possess them. I guess that's the answer in a nutshell. I have a problem where, if I see such people being treated differently, or poorly, even justifiably, so, I feel deep empathy for them. Particularly if they are being ignored. There is definitely something wrong with that, and I have only, recently, noticed this about myself. I cannot manage witnessing anyone being ignored, rejected or ostracized. It touches a nerve, and breaks my heart. Even if I am the one being ignored, rejected, or otherwise, it is the worst feeling in the world, to experience. rambling.
folks with the dark triad will tend to be in the behavioral category you described above. but I try to be good (and fail often) because of a somewhat selfish reason, in that I want to avoid as much as possible, having to explain myself to god, why I mistreated part of god's creation, why I denied love to one of god's own.

Which is my problem. It seems more natural and logical to be abused.
Perhaps because I had an abusive upbringing and I don't think you ever get over that completely.
my mother thought I was "very stupid" while my dad, uncharacteristically defended me by saying "he has a good mind, he just thinks differently." at least when he was sober. in any case, I had an abusive older sociopathic brother, and I was a reject loner all throughout my childhood as I had no peers, and it took me decades to learn how to love myself and to gracefully accept a compliment.
I apologize. SSF = StampySquiddyFan. I miss her very much, and we'd always send our posts off to one another, with matching emoji's. 2 of each, representing her and I. : ) I adore her and hope she returns, here, at some point, in the future.

Personally, I still feel guilty for wanting kindness, because I feel like I don't deserve it. However, I refuse to be abused by anyone else and you should too. You didn't deserve it then and you certainly don't deserve it now. There was a time I didn't feel the way I do today, there was a time I was angry with the world and even more so with myself. I still loathe myself, but I have learned to allow myself to be human. I hope with all my heart you too can learn to forgive yourself because you didn't deserve that sort of treatment.

I'm much better now, but I still feel weird when people say kind things like you just did and I don't know how to respond to it.
It confuses me.

I used to be rather severely afraid of dogs---but I came around as an adult. Nowadays, though I'm scared a little sometimes, I can pet dogs, and play with them.
A feral cat is, basically, a domesticated cat who was once in a home, but either was forced from a home, or left it on its own accord. Subsequent generations of cats from this one cat are also probably considered "feral." Not quite "wild," like a bobcat---but really close.
There are feral humans, too. They are the ones who were raised by animals, and have difficulty adjusting to "civilization."
I like horses, too---though I'm afraid to ride them because I was thrown from one when I was 8. I was made to get back on the horse by a camp counselor, resulting in me falling again. The horse was a temperamental horse, and I should never have been riding him/her. I do feel a bond when I'm around horses, though. I used to enjoy the show "Mr. Ed" very much when I was a kid. And I enjoyed other shows about horses, too.
I don't know that much about cows; I haven't been around them that much.
I think that is lovely that your cat was your best friend, and saved you in that way.
Thank you for the description/definition of feral cats ,and human ferals. That is interesting, and I feel as though I have heard of this.
I grew up in Malibu, California, and the homes were built on acres of land, back then, and it seemed there were farm animals, pretty much, everywhere. It was definitely, horse country. My parents would take my sisters and I, to a farm near our dentist's office, when we'd go get our teeth cleaned, and there were cows grazing about, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, and other animals, and we would be invited to pet some of them. I was very reserved and cautious, and merely, enjoyed watching, but I remember, to this day, being extremely enamored with, and fixated on the animals, particularly, the cows.

there are a few people I dearly miss here as well, such as Taupey and Spazzergasm who were the first two people to greet me and talk to me when I first started here.

That's nice that you had that experience. I hope you will, one day, again, see them, here, or elsewhere. I miss Stampy, DeepHour, C2V, Drawyer and a few others, and, although I converse with beakybird, via email, from time to time, I truly enjoy his presence on the forum, and frequently, find myself wishing he were here, selfishly. : )
