Have you ever been attracted to a man?

Nope I'm a heterosexual male.

If you're lonely, get an active dog. They will take over your life with their demands for exercise / attention but will fulfill your requirements for affection / happiness.

Are you lonely because you think you're supposed to have a mate / friends and have placed pressure on yourself to achieve those things without actually putting forth the effort to do so?

I talked a bit about why I wont get a pet earlier, but for additional context, my sister already has a dog. Unsurprisingly she's neglectful, does the bare minimum to keep it alive physically/emotionally. You can guess where she got that from. Of course I wouldn't do that, but that's because I acknowledge the fact that I'm not fit to have one to begin with. If my only reasons to have a pet are to make myself feel better, well that's pretty selfish and unfair to the animal. I simply wont force another being into my miserable life.

Hmm, maybe? In the past there were definitely good people (at least on the surface) that I could have tried to become better friends with but didn't cause I stupid I guess. At that time I did have a good number of friends already so perhaps that's also why I didn't feel the need to try as hard. Not sure if I'm really putting pressure on myself, but I definitely haven't been trying in recent times. Despite that, I do believe one should try to find friends and a mate as having reasons to exist are always good.
