I fully understand the boundaries and limitations side. There are a lot of people who label themselves "not a cat person" or "not a pet person" and don't interact with animals, based on this preconceived notion, and then are surprised when they enjoy it.
Not being able to take responsibility for another soul is reasonable.
And that attitude gets people telling me "oh, you'll love my dog!" When you actually genuinely. do not like dogs. It's a pain.
