Being compared to a monkey is one of the insults that you will get from a kid's fight.
"You look like a monkey! Just hold a banana and you are all set"
I don't know if you experienced that but I did. Haha, multiple times! Having a not so fair complexion, I was often teased. But bygones be bygones I am a completely grown-up man and not doing any "monkey business" anymore.
Monkey is really a general class and each one has it's beauty on its own. Since humans are in the same Order as them in the taxonomic rank under Primates I will be choosing to be an Orangutan.
In Malay orang means “person” and utan is defined as “forest’
Although I cannot say myself that I am not a person in the forest. I am a home-buddy. I'd rather stay at home, read some articles, watch anime, read a manga and stuff. Going outside is not really my thing unless I will have a date or I am bored in our home which rarely happens. Plus the challenge of taking a bath tsk! I hate it hahaha. If I will go outside I need to look somehow presentable.
Orangutans are arborealmonkeys
Same here! I am always on the 2nd floor of our house. The only time that I will go down is if I will be doing some house chores other than that I am staying on my turf.
Orangutans are smart beings and I think I am also a smart guy haha. Yeah, we all need to uplift ourselves sometimes because if we do not then who else. They are also resourceful creatures and very interested in learning new stuff which fits my personality. I really love learning new stuff and it gets me to a point wherein if I will be focusing on something my full attention is on that topic alone. All ideas will be closed down until I reached a center answer that is satisfactory to me.
In the wild, these folks use their intelligence to overcome the challenges that they face plus they know how to use and create some tools! Somehow, I am using my brain at most haha to accomplish the task and with rely on the tools that are available. May it be internet, books, a magazine I always want to have something that I will be able to learn. If I will be able to bypass something and make it faster by using the tools that I have I will definitely do it in the right way though. I do hold a sense of justice which orangutans hold dear too.
They are also tolerant to one another if they meet. I do have a rule on myself, unless I was attacked in a way then that is the time I will retaliating other than that I am good at anything. I can discern what a joke is from a colleague and what is a direct attack. I really hate that side of me being on the attacker spot. Plus orangutans are placing a distance to other males. Haha SPOT ON! In our discord chat I always use the word "Bakit chicks ka ba?" plus my way of complimenting my folks there is using Tatsumaki bot with using the command $shoot, $slap, $punch. 
I guess that is all I can share. So remember if you are being teased on something instead of looking at it on the negative side try to check what are the positives of that. For sure you will be amazed on the things that you will be knowing further.
