Is it normal i no longer can connect to humans at all

I tend not to feel a lot anymore. Most of the time I just feel unhappy. The only thing that brings me a smile to my face are animals and children. Though I put animals and children in the same boat I have a bit more regard for animals.

Animals are soft and huggable and innocent. I tend to be treated terribly by most people even though I would put my life on the life to save them. Though at this age I no longer have any regard for their existence. I would save humanity since its moral, but I do not care about ANY OF THEM.

Their lives mean nothing to me. Just a meaningless obligation. I have been betrayed by every human I have ever met. Every friend, family member, everyone. I wish I could feel something for these people but I cant feel nothing for them anymore. Ideally if I could just open a shelter for a bunch of animals I believe I would be happy.

People say that we should love all humans because they are human. If everyone you know treats you like garbage what logical reason is there to love them. I have very few people who I connect with and they are the few anchors keeping me mentally sane.

Without those people I tend to fall into madness. Though I believe there is a percentage of people who feel this way. No one complains when a human is killed in a horror movie, but its the end of the world when you hurt an animal even if its fictional, on screen, and no animals were really injured. We treat animals like shit but perhaps they in general are more deserving of sympathy.

Its also sad when children grow up. They start out so sweet, caring and innocent and than become asshole adults. I dont understand this. I was a bit odd as a child but I never became an asshole. Why is it all the good in people leaves as they get older?

    Because they've been treated like shit by humans to various degrees as well. It's a vicious cycle but that doesn't mean all the good in people is gone forever. When you continue to treat people with love and kindness, despite the assholery in the world, you're helping to fight against the dark side.

    Not all people are assholes. Granted most of the people I know definitely are, so I completely understand your cynicism. Cynicism is an easy defense mechanism to fall to when all of your relationships are less than satisfying. You have to find the good in people and love them for their goodness and in turn they will likely return your love and you should be able to have fulfilling relationships. You seem nice, so you could probably make some friends to connect with if you really desired it.
    Good luck :)
