I’ve had my share of bad roommates but the idea of living by myself is scary. Like I’ll just be alone all the time and no one can help me with spiders? Should I risk getting a rando rm or deal with living alone?

Spiders is actually one of my biggest reasons for not living alone

Do you not get bored or lonely? Or how do you handle it when you do?

I have cats now so that helps! I spend a lot of time working or at school though so i don’t really have a ton of alone time as is

I have a dog, but he’s a service dog so it doesn’t feel like I’m coming home to someone/thing. I’d really like to get a snake but tons of places don’t allow exotics. I also have a bird feeder now and that’s really nice. Maybe I’ll get a roomba lol!

I’ve been trying to conquer my fear before my lease ends but it’s impossible 😭 so far, I’ve been letting as many slide as I can and my roommate has been putting the bigger ones in jars so I can work up to getting closer to them but I don’t think it’s helping. It might even be making it worse because WHAT DO YOU MEAN SPIDERS LOOK LIKE THAT? We even give them silly names and backstories but it only works until they start moving again and then I’m like NO ABSOLUTELY NOT HELP
