Search Results: scared of affection

My younger brother just goes and eats the lightly salted beef burgers I was going to get, I'm sensing a control spirit trying to dumb me down like a kid, I'm 34 and I'm sick of this, everyday of every week food is getting eaten from me,
ever since I started petting, rubbing our family cat and letting him go under my chair in my room, since he hides, when he's scared of certain noises, like the rain and the Ice Cream truck or someone leaves, every time I show this random act of kindness I get treated like crap, nobody has any real consideration for me, in my family it's a shame that I have to resort to buying fast food to have anything to eat for myself in the house, probably keep this cat away from the cable cords, so trap him with boxes and keep him out my room, I show him affection, everything goes wrong for me, lesson learned never show a cat too much love and affection, they will use it to manipulate any situation to go their way, I understand animals having feelings, but not at the expense of mine being ignored and having nothing to eat, I'm really getting sick of this, I'm about to take myself out of the equation, maybe no one will put me down, because of the cat, what do you think?
