Sure, you may feel a little insane at times having a conversation with your animal that’s completely one-sided, but The Dodo points out a good fact about doing this exercise. “A pet will never try to fix you. You can sit with your pet on the couch for hours and just rant, and she won’t try to advise you or solve all your problems. There are times when you just want to talk, and you don’t need anyone to say anything back. A pet will simply sit there and love you. And sometimes, that’s all you need.”
