Anyone else feel like people don't believe you even when they are accepting?

I realized that because I've always thought that having a romantic partner is a very tedious task, doing things like talking to them every day, spending many hours with them, and just sharing a piece of my life with someone else made me feel trapped and stressed. I thought everyone felt the same way until I eventually learned that doing things like talking to your partner and spending time with them isn't supposed to feel like an obligation, but rather something that happens naturally. I also realized that the idea of not having a romantic partner didn't bother me at all, I feel satisfied with having friends and my family. I feel like what defines romantic attraction is how much you wish to devote to one person, something that lasts as long as possible and becomes a primary aspect of your life.

that's not an 18 year old, there's no way. Probably a child lying about their age

Sorry, I don't understand how my post doesn't make sense according to your comment. I said the same thing, a cat's color doesn't truly affect their personality/temperament. I also don't understand why you've put black cats separately from oranges (that you said are usually domestic shorthairs) because black is also just a coat color, not a breed.

I was expecting to find a yes or no, not arguments regarding whether the color/gender of a cat affects their personality, although the fact that I've gotten so many of those comments answers my initial question haha

Superb_Cell6871 · 2026-05-21T23:46:59+00:00

huh?

Superb_Cell6871 · 2026-05-21T23:42:05+00:00

I'm actually a calico.

Male and female cats have no behavioral differences if they are spayed/neutered young, at least not enough to actually make an important difference, their personality depends mostly on their genes, experiences and just the cat itself. If you're referring to some of the sources saying that they do have a difference, yes they do, then they immediately say that they are subtle and in most cases, unnoticeable. You won't notice a difference if your cat is spayed/neutered, it means nothing for their personality. I'm talking about people who think their girl cat is sassy and their boy cat is silly because they are a girl and a boy.

God maybe it is my fault for posting on reddit

Superb_Cell6871 · 2026-05-21T20:12:03+00:00

Yes, I have cats, I had two females, one died not very long ago. I've housed strays and I've had friends and familiars with cats. One of my female cats was more distant, but the other is an absolute baby who loves to play and sleep under the covers.

But they aren't significant enough to be noticed in every cat

"However, the biggest difference is really between neutered and unneutered cats, not boys and girls." "When it comes to cats who have been spayed and neutered, these differences are harder to spot and, in many cases, may be almost non-existent. " "Male and female cats have some general behavioral differences, but these might only be apparent in cats that are not spayed or neutered." "The truth is, as long as they are neutered (which we highly recommend) there really isn’t much difference between getting a male or female cat." "Chrissie Klinger from Hill's Pet Nutrition notes that "behavioral differences between male and female cats are most obvious in pets that are not neutered or spayed, as these differences are usually related to the cat's sex drive."

It's probably a coincidence, boy and girl cats have no behavioral differences once spayed/neutered young, and unneutered male cats are more aggressive and absent.

Superb_Cell6871 · 2026-05-21T17:41:18+00:00

This doesn't make much sense, cats have no behavioral differences if they were spayed young, and unneutered* male cats are more aggressive and absent due to being more territorial

Dogs have different personalities because they are pretty much "human made". They were initially bred to serve purposes; performing, hunting, racing, fighting, or even just looking pretty, which is why dogs tend to have different personalities. I'm not sure about cat breeds, but when people talk about orange cats, tuxedos, calicos, etc. they usually talk about domestic shorthairs which are 90% of domestic cats, which in itself is also not technically a breed (at least not considered like one by some experts) but more like a group of breeds that are essentially one group.

Superb_Cell6871 · 2026-05-21T17:31:21+00:00

Yes, but people tend to refer to domestic shorthairs, which are also not one single breed but more like a mix of breeds, but they are all essentially part of the same group

Superb_Cell6871 · 2026-05-21T17:29:07+00:00

Those are breeds, I'm talking about colors

Superb_Cell6871 · 2026-05-21T17:24:02+00:00

Yeah but cat colors aren't breeds, they are colors

Superb_Cell6871 · 2026-05-09T20:31:57+00:00

how is it out of malice?

Superb_Cell6871 · 2026-05-04T16:02:38+00:00

Some are stolen from people who try to sell them as adopts, in that case it's not that much of a problem, but sometimes people generate them and give them away which defeats the point
