Should I get a pet?

so I live in a big city in a apartment and I don't really have much friends.. recently few friends turned out to be snakes and now I'm all alone, i like cats very much though.. I feel like i should get one because humans in general are not trust worthy . I feel down sometimes , maybe i will share these thoughts with that little guy (pls don't judge me on this one :p ) .I feel animals are too naive for this world and they are just simple being , you just provide them some love and care and they return you with loads of unconditional love and emotional support .The only thing which is pulling me back me to get a pet is the void you feel after they die which feels very daunting to deal with , I heard this from few pet owners I know and I also feel it would be. I already feel like I'm very much venerable when it comes to dealing these setbacks, so tell me should I?
