i don’t mean i’m attractive to people, i just mean animals seem to love me. my mother in law has a theory that animals are often attracted to sick or damaged individuals. i didn’t like being called sick or damaged but maybe she has a point.

Animals love me too. It’s probably cuz we’re gentle not sick. Iwas on the bus yesterday and this cute little puppy kept paying me mind.

I have this also…neighbors car…cat lol possoms coons deer I pet about anything…
I have this, but my brother (who is not sick, but very very gentle and sensitive) has this even more. Our dog used to love him the most… 
I too think it doesn’t have to do with being sick or damaged. Maybe they just feel that you are a kind person.

Never heard of this and frankly it sounds unbearably stupid.
But I know that animals can recognize a warm and kind human being.

@Sarad and @anon73478309 , i prefer to think of myself as a kind person rather than damaged. it has a better ring to it.

For me it depends on the type of animal. Dogs tend to really like me. Everything else tends to hate me. Whatever that is supposed to mean lol.
I want to surround myself in hundreds of butterflies, two bears, and a wolf and walk around town like i’m made of magic.
I’ll hand out butterflies to the kids and let people pet my bears and wolf.

In the animal world the sick are often preyed upon…I’ve pet predators were equals…they are often skidish unless their starving shiny metal will scare off a hungry predator… Run for the car if there’s more than 3…

Think it’s they can just sense an empathic/nice person.

I always figured I gave out strong “I’m not going to hurt you” vibes. I’ve managed to charm wild birds and bats and raccoons and deer and rabbits, and I would regularly get followed home by stray cats. I don’t know that it’s kindness they sense so much as non-threateningness.

The old ones would follow the animals lead at times.
It was a great way to know for people at first.
The animals in part is why we survived because we didn’t know what they ■■■■ we were doing.
They taught us things to eat and not to eat, and even when bad ■■■■ was coming.
Now though we’ve gotten away from those things and it’s just a non stop animal wail of pain going out into the galaxy. They can hear those animals to. Some of them care deeply about those animals.
it’s finally hunting season! where’s that animal magnet dude that I hired? I’m tired of buying baits and making traps!
