Quoted from kruzman:
There should be a category for people who are empathetic to animals but not humans. I have a name for it, but there should be a clinical term. Its a trip that someone will bend over backwards for animal, but has no second thoughts screwing over someone very close. Oh well. We are all on our own path. With 15 stitches in my foot, I am hobbling down mine.
My ex was like this and she had Bordeline Personality Disorder. The animals were like 1000 times more important to her than people. It’s sad really, so insecure and wounded inside that they can’t trust people anymore. Cat lady syndrome.
And since mental health care is generally so shitty or expensive people like this don’t get help and can keep hurting those closest to them.
Ah well, hope it wasn’t too rough on ya!
