No matter in what situation you are in you should love yourself, and remember that there will always be a person or an animal,it can be a pet or the local stray cat you gave beef-jerky once, there will always be someone who will love you maybe not in a romantic way but in a plutonic way. So just love yourself now !!

So for context I’m extremely shy in person and had the bad father treatment, well my “friends” (I wouldn’t even call them that) really like to abuse that, they have been basically belittling,insulting, not respecting my boundaries and basically treating me like a punching bag.And I know what you’d be thinking “why would you be friends with these type of people”, well I didn’t have anyone else and loneliness feels worse than being treated this bad, and I just got used to it after a while.
Well I couldn’t take it anymore and so I just deleted all of their contacts and stopped talking to them. And I feel so much better it’s like I got a huge weight off my shoulders, but I’m extremely lonely like genuinely feels like torture, but I’m optimistic because I’m starting high school this august and I’ve already met my class and they are genuinely the nicest and most mature people I’ve ever met (it’s a pretty small class).
So Im really trying to hold out for the time being, but I’m really really lonely, soo i turned to Reddit for someone to talk to so yeah I would appreciate a conversation, thanks for reading.

Just want to talk to someone,
I don’t care who you are
just Pls don’t be weird, thanks.

I’m just wondering if it’s actually common for people to have rats or mice as pets, I myself had a pet rat when I was younger but he sadly died three years ago.
And yes I know that mice and rats are very different.
