Some people may not have the luxury of owning pets. Then, of course, you can always resort to simply talking to someone about it and reaching out to your close friends or family first. Talking to someone whether through text, video call, or a quick catch up at a cafe is a great way to vent your pent up feelings and emotions. Sometimes you just want people to hear you out and get problems off your chest.
By sharing your problems, people may be able to give advice that is useful to solve the challenges you’re facing based on their personal experiences when you open up to them. Nevertheless, the thought of just having someone reach out to you and lend an ear, believe it or not, can already do wonders to make you feel better.
PS: Remember to ask whoever you’re seeking advice from, whether it’s a friend or family if they’re in the right mind to listen to your problems before you share it with them. Always respect their boundaries!
