I guess a desire for companionship? I don't want pets. Hate pets. Obviously most people don't feel that way, but it certainly can't be that most people are lonely. Why'd you get your pet(s)?

Me and my partner don't want children, but it is nice to have something little we can be responsible for and spoil without really too much of a life commitment.

Deep seeded issues involving their childhood leading them to grow up cold and distant and little room for caring for others

They resort to getting a pet because deep down they no longer trust people and a pet is the only thing to fill the cold empty lonely void in their heart

But seriously pets are cute and fun no deeper meaning to be had

Being completely responsible for the wellbeing of another creature doesn't seen fun >.>

We have two boys, two girls, two dogs, and two cats, so if our household is any example, the reason is clearly insanity and not minding having zero quiet time.

No you haven't seen real sociopaths.

Animals are cute and playing and interacting with them can be a good way to unwind and be more happy. Having them isn't for everyone I suppose.

Did you not grow up with a dog? They're emotional, loving, intelligent creatures with distinct personalities. You can't tell that from just looking at your friend's dog though, you learn it by living with them.

It's like having a kid, but instead of the kid having bad days and crying, they never have a bad day. They love you so much that being with you is the only thing they want in life. Every time you come home you're greeted with intense happiness and a soft hug and kiss. You get to make them happy and watch them learn and grow.

The people who say "who cares it's just a dog" are emotionally or intellectually dull themselves, because humans have known this about dogs for 10,000 years or more

someone is not a sociopath for not liking animals

At no point in my life at my parents' house have we not had a dog >_>

No but it's kinda sus that you cant grasp why other people would like pets

It doesn't require deep thought to figure out why humans, a social species, enjoy having pets

Because pets are great. They are fun to have and for a little bit of effort put into care you get years of fun, companionship, and even health benefits.

I honestly can never understand folks who don't like pets at all, it's weird to me tbh

It not being common is probably the worst part about it. When I can see as many dogs in Walmart/grocery store as I do Petsmart where pets are actually allowed in the building says a lot about this countries ability to go out alone and complete a simple task liking buying food.
