I've kind of sort of realized I don't really like people.

Some of you may have noticed extraordinary things about yourself, such as a toe on one foot is longer than the respective toe on the other foot. Maybe you have realized you don't care for chocolate (and if that's the case, please don't read further; I can't stand the idea that some who doesn't like chocolate is reading a post of mine). Anyways, one thing or another is off about you. I, on the contrary, have noticed that I truly do not like people.
People are just so irritating. I mean, rarely do you ever find a human being who has never faked a smile or pretended to be mad at someone. I despise the insincerity.  I admit, I'm hypocritical when it comes to this topic, but I also do admit that I adore animals because of this. It's not uncommon to find an animal happy to see you. They show it, too. Those little puppies and kittens (more of puppies) that litter (ha, pun) homes all over this country undoubtedly attack you when you come home. They jump all over you, give you hundreds of slobbery kisses a day. My dog does this cute little step-in-place thing when she sees me because she's too excited to move. All I have to do is say her name and she bounds towards me and begs to be petted and loved. She always causes me to smile at moments like these; these are the moments I cherish.
Furthermore, when an animal is angry, they show it; when they're tired, they sleep. Animals don't stay up all night to be "cool" or stay up to talk to their little crush that they will most likely get over in less than a month. When they're angry, they growl and show all their pearly-whites to show you that stuff just got real. Animals show you that they really do care about you too. Humans say they love you and would do anything for you, but there's pretty much always a lie behind each of those words that escape through their lips. Animals are loyal no matter what; they would take a grenade for you, maybe even jump in front of a train for you. Who knows for sure? All I know is that if they see a stranger, they cautiously protect you from potential danger and, no matter what, will love you unconditionally. It's like that spanking you just gave them taught them their lesson and they're not even angry or embarrassed by what just took place, that you're the one who did that to them. They're already wanting to play fetch again or cuddle on the couch for the Harry Potter movie marathon on ABC Family.
Animals also respect what you do. You want to do nothing all day? Your dog is definitely down for that. You want to walk for a few hours? Grab the leash and get going! No matter what you want to do for the day your pet respects it and will support you and your decision. People usually do not. I tend to find people in my life talking me out of doing things or downgrading my potential decisions. They change what I was planning on doing, typically not for the better future. I find that people ruin opportunities for me. However, when they do support a decision of mine and agree to go through it with me, they often step out or jump off the decision train. I find myself alone, without support and that isn't exactly the best feeling in the world.
Animals are just there for you all the time, through thick and thin, and are true to themselves and you for eternity. That's probably why I'm not a fan of people nowadays and will probably not be ever again in the future.
