I know if/when I no longer have roommates I’d like to have one so I can be like Bill Burr when his girl got the pitbull. When you’re stuck alone it can really press on you how alone you are..... I know it’s an issue I had when I was away from home for school and part of why I struggled. Even though I was in a dorm I kept to myself so much it just.... well.... was lonely.
EDIT:
Like, even now I live in a house with 5 roommates, 3 of which have their significant others over like 80% of the time, 1 of those 3 their significant other has a child so I really live with like 9 other people and I still feel kind of alone when I get home cause they'll say "hello" and shit but no one is excited for me getting home the way Chester was where he'd run around our living room like a maniac and stand there with his tail wagging so hard his whole back end is wagging.
