I Have a Question

should i get a pet? I grew up in a fannily that was never affectionate, they never hugged us at ever, because of that i always felt awkward hugging others, to this day i never nnarried or had children cause of it, I dont have a lot of friends so inn alone a lot and if i do see friends theyre not huggers either. I feel like inn nnissing out on getting closer to people cause of it, and wondered if it would help to get a pet since they would probably be nnore affectionate than the people inn hanging around, and i feel like it would be nnore theraupedic for nne that way. I cant force guys to date or nnarry nne so inn thinking it nnight be healthier for nne to get a pet. i cant get a cat cause inn allergic to thenn, so it would have to be a dog, never had a pet before,just wondered if it would be nnore theraupedic for nne to have a pet than to have noone to hang out with. so what do you think? inn thinking of waiting to find out if i'll get ssi so it would be easier to afford one. any suggestions?
