A lot of people kiss their pets or non-human animals in general. I find that very weird. I understand that it is a sign of affection but it seems so off. One reason is that I doubt whether animals really understand this. Also it seems to be on a level of intimacy to me that I find weird sharing with a pet. Not necessarily romantically or sexually (that would be even more weird and wrong and probably illegal). But it is still “more”. I am not sure whether I can really explain why exactly I find that weird.

Anyway, what is something that is weird to you but not to most other people?

    I’ve never really gotten it either. Might be because I’ve never really liked kids even when I was one. Loud human noises tend to drive me up a damn wall and if there’s one thing kids and alcoholics have in common it’s their love for being as loud as possible. Also every time I hear people talk about their kids, there’s always so much negativity even when they’re trying to make it sound positive. What’s there to gain from having them other than the supposed animalistic instinct to reproduce parents love to bring up?
