i once had a chipmunk run up my arm when it was being chased by a cat
i walked it a few yards away and it looked at me and i knelt over and let it down and it scampered off
I know what you mean. Sometimes I wonder if I just do the things I think I like because it's the only thing I have and not because I enjoy them. I don't feel any joy doing these things they mostly just piss me off.
