I don’t like dogs and why

randomcatperson

I’m not a dog person for several reasons. I generally am a total cat person, but i cannot stand dogs. It kind of started when some random dog licked my leg, and I suddenly realized that I don’t like when dogs do that.(even though my family had a dog) Over time I guess they kept annoying me in different ways such as barking at absolutely nothing, running around knocking everything over, breaking tons of things, etc. To be clear, I would never abuse or hurt a dog, I just don’t like them. I can’t really control the fact I don’t care for dogs, but people always look at me like I’m some monster. I don’t really understand why people judge me so much as if I can’t have an opinion. I also have some trauma due to some bullying when I was younger about this subject. Please don’t attack me over this post, I just wanted to get this off my chest.

I don't think anybody should attack you for having that opinion!

I'm a total dog lover, my dog is my best friend and I think they're amazing creatures but I'd never judge someone for having a different opinion. I'm opposite to you in that I really don't like cats, I don't like them coming near me, I have no desire to stroke them or whatever but I also would never ever wish any harm on them or hurt them in any way! It's just personal preference and we're all entitled to like and dislike things as we please

I mean you can have your opinion and I can have mine, which is that I'm judging you. And my dogs and cats are too.

I don’t like dogs. I don’t mean that I feel negatively about dogs. It’s more like the absence of “like” than the presence of “dislike”.

I’m okay with dogs. They’re cute and I like to pet them. They’re quite fun to have around, but I would rather not own a dog. I much prefer a cat.

People who like dogs don’t understand this, but the characteristics of dogs that make you like them might be the exact same characteristics other people find annoying.

Yes, dogs love you, they jump in your face every time you go home as if you were lost for years, they are very attached to you, they like to play and go for walks, they try to do everything for you.

Honestly, this is better than the people with irrational fears of dogs, IMO. lol. I can respect that you know 'em, tried it out (family dog), and found they're just not your thing!
