Is it normal that animals make me feel this way?

I have always thought this was very strange. When a pet gets close to my face and is being affectionate it makes me feel dizzy and i can't see straight. I thought it was only cats and dogs that did this to me, but recently my chameleon made me feel this way too. Please tell me this is normal! I am not into animals like that!

    • This is dumb... How is a picture of my chameleon going to determine if i'm telling the truth. All that will prove is that i have a chameleon. I'm going to accept that this is not normal now...

        I need to see your facial expressions and how you feel when you get close to your chameleon so that I can further assist you.

            No I am not. Everyone is asking for pics in case you haven't noticed. Im just trying to help you out. What you are describing does not seem normal and can be a rare but serious condition.

            • Trust me, i'm not making it up. I'm weird enough that i don't have to make up stupid scenarios for attention. I honestly didn't think this was that weird, but i've never talked to anyone about it. Sorry, but i like my anonymity and i cannot post a picture of myself. Besides, i don't know how. I tried to make my chameleon my profile pic, but i guess i can't from my phone. What is the illness you speak of? I'll look it up.

    Ok, people, enough fucking with this person about needing a pic. Thats just rude and ignoring his question.

    So my question is, when u feel that way physically, how r u feeling emotionally? I mean, r u scared, or thrilled to be enjoying the sweet love of a llittle creature (and no, smart asses, i do not mean like THAT)?

    I guess i am wondering if its some deep unconscious anxiety or something. I mean, if you do not have allergies, its psychological, right?

    • Thank you :) .

      It only happened once with the chameleon and it was much more subtle than when it happens with a dog or cat. It is an affectionate feeling that usually happens when the animal is kissing or sniffing me out of affection, like being tickled or something. Or kind of like the awkward feeling women get from breastfeeding, but idk if you would know what that feels like at all. Emotionally, I just don't like it because I don't understand it, probably the same reason many women choose to quit breastfeeding. If it was a common thing for people to experience, it probably wouldn't bother me so much. I have sometimes wondered if that's how i'm supposed to feel when being affectionate with a person because, generally, i have no special sensations like, say, when i'm kissing.

    Sounds like it could be psychological if you had a childhood trauma involving an animal or you could have allergies. My allergies happen for very wired reasons.
