Some pets are real stalkers and want every bit of their owners’ love and precious time. It’s them who you see first thing in the morning, it’s them who never let you “suffer” alone in the shower, and it’s them who always want to get lost in a book together with you.

Here at Bright Side, we found 17 happy humans whose pets are so in love with them that they can’t spend a single second without their beloved owners.

Every time you think there’s nothing else that can surprise you in this world, someone can prove that you’re actually wrong. For example, we had no idea that bananas make bees aggressive and that spiders don’t have muscles in their legs. So if you want to learn some more interesting facts, just continue reading this article.

The Bright Side team would like to share 15 recent discoveries made by internet users with you that will boggle your mind.

• Today I learned about manual babbling. Deaf children or children born to deaf parents babble with their hands instead of vocalized babbling. @Dachten
• Mosquitoes can not only smell what blood type you are, they prefer type O. In fact, people who are type O are twice as likely to be bitten than someone who is type A. @doubleXmedium
• Beekeepers are advised to not eat bananas. Their smell makes bees aggressive because it releases the same pheromones that alert bees to an attack. @saiasox

• I learned that you can’t find broccoli in the wild, since it was created by humans by breeding it from wild cabbage. @WTender2
• The human brain remains half-awake when sleeping in a new environment for the first time. @Cosmogally
• Today I learned about “latchkey incontinence,” a phenomenon where the urge to urinate gets stronger the closer you are to a bathroom. One example would be when you put your key in your front door when returning home from work. @youagreewithit
• I visited a DreamWorks animation exhibition yesterday and found an early sketch of Shrek from the film’s production:

• I learned that koala bear fingerprints are almost indistinguishable from human fingerprints. And though it’s unlikely that they would be at the scene of a crime, police should be aware of this possibility. @amansaggu26
• Harry Potter has been translated to Ancient Greek so that the students of this dead language would have something fun to decipher. @harmenator
• I found out that my daughter has uncombable hair syndrome. It is characterized by dry, frizzy hair that stands up from the scalp and that can’t be combed flat. This is what it looks like:

• I learned that brass doorknobs (or any other brass objects) sterilize themselves from bacteria after about 8 hours. This is called the oligodynamic effect. @1nfin1tus
• Pencils are yellow because in the 19th century the best graphite came from China. Yellow was a royal color in China, so pencil companies began to color their pencils yellow to show both high quality and an association with this country. @unknown
• I found out that roundabouts reduce fatalities from accidents by 72-82%. They also lower wait times and save gas. @VictorJ45

• Spiders don’t have muscles in their legs. They extend them using a system of hydraulics powered by their blood pressure. When they die, spiders’ legs curl up because the blood pressure is gone. @itCompiledThrsNoBugs

If we could see with our own eyes the whale rocks, a weird fish from the mysterious depths of the ocean, the biggest geoglyph with an unknown creator, or maybe take a selfie in space just like astronaut Jessica Meir did, we’d certainly be happier.

We at Bright Side are always looking for unprecedented and little-known things to share with our readers. So here is our new compilation of unique and amazing things. At the end of the article, you’ll find a bonus that proves that the right perspective can change everything.

Can your surprise your friends in a conversation with facts that people rarely know? What are they?

Just think about how many times you use the word “sorry” over the course of one day. And how many times was it for a legitimate reason? Sociologists say that needless apologizing has become our habitual way of communicating, but it actually kills our confidence.

We at Bright Side have made a list of situations where you should not apologize, and we’ve explained what you can do instead.

1. When you tell the truth

There is absolutely no need to apologize for telling the truth, because, as psychologists believe, the benefits of being honest are always predominate over trying to not hurt someone’s feelings. Always try to formulate your thoughts without starting with “I am sorry,” but instead use phrases like, “I think” or “In my opinion.” This will make you a person whose advice will always have value.

2. When you are too emotional

“By letting someone know how you feel, you’re helping that person understand you,” says Donna Flagg, author of Surviving Dreaded Conversations. So why should you apologize if that person really means a lot to you? You should also be curious about their feelings.

Moreover, there is no shame in being oversensitive either. However, always make sure you open up in an appropriate place, not a formal meeting, for example.

3. When you look different

It’s your right to look exactly the way you feel the most comfortable, and the last thing you need to do is apologize for that. This is the approach that is recommended by specialists. Unless it’s an occasion, where a specific dress-code is required, you don’t have to rush to look anything like what others consider appropriate. Always be yourself and bring some colorful diversity to our world!

4. When you want to be all by yourself

The desire to be left alone is not always a sign that a person is in a bad mood. Actually, research suggests that spending more “me-time” leads to an increase in our creativity. So never feel sorry for not participating in any social activity, whatever your reasons are, and just listen to your own feelings and needs.

5. When you ask a question

In many cases, we don’t feel comfortable asking questions, because we have a fear of looking silly in someone’s eyes. However, specialists think that this is not the correct attitude to have, if you really want to be successful. Don’t feel sorry for not understanding something and don’t be afraid to ask for more clarification or help. If another person judges you for asking, it speaks to his complexes, not yours.

6. When you don’t respond to something immediately

There will always be certain people that consider their own needs more important than yours. This type of person insistently demands an answer to their e-mails, messages, etc., right away, without even thinking that you may be busy with different things.

Don’t fall into this trap — don’t feel sorry for not managing to fit into someone else’s time frame. If it’s not a question of a real emergency, just let them know that you won’t forget about it, but will reply when it’s possible for you. As Brené Brown mentions in her book, loving yourself more than you love others is the first and most critical step to seeking happiness and fulfillment.

7. When something you can’t control happens

There are so many situations that can get out of control, even if we’ve planned everything perfectly. Whether it’s being late for a meeting because of traffic, receiving the wrong order, or a technical mistake that ruined your presentation — these things always happen and you should not take responsibility for everything in the world.

Instead, it’s better to thank the person (or people), show that this affected you too, and try to find a solution to make everyone happy.

8. When other people behave rudely

Many of us are familiar with the situation where we feel awkward because of someone else’s behavior. This phenomenon is called vicarious embarrassment, and is linked to a high level of empathy in a person. Nevertheless, you don’t have to take the responsibility for something you are not guilty for.
