I used to be this way too with my baby, the main thing that changed is that I went through a lot and now it’s only him and I against the world. Sometimes, though, that amount of love you have for them is enough. We all feel those connections differently and that’s okay 👏🏻 there’s nothing wrong with you!
Some people are willing to spend $2k+ on their pets, some people have them as their wallpapers, call them their children, when the pet dies, they act as if their mother or their human sibling died. I never felt that strong about any living thing other than my little cousins, little sister, and my best friend. I know I’m not emotionless, but I don’t feel like I have as much emotion or empathy as I should, and it kind of freaks me out a little bit.
