Give a pet recommendation for me, a 23 y/o single male who lives a tiny apartment who works night shift with no future. I'm hoping it will cure my depression and teach me some more responsibility. Thank you

Seriously, start with houseplants if you don't have any. They'll make your home feel nicer and require a little bit of responsibility at least. The only kind of animal I'd get if I were you would be some kind of smaller rodent.
Snake or other reptile
Doesn't need much maintenance, cool looking, can be cute.
The main con is that it will be expensive when getting an enclosure and a reptile but the costs get significantly lower afterwards. My snake costs me like 3 bucks a month.
2 rats, degus or guinea pigs, whichever sounds more likeable
maybe a tortoise
maintaining a fish tank or a reptile enclosure is a satisfying hobby too if you have an interest
get a veiled chameleon. they're grumpy and asocial too but will put up with you if you bring crickets. hard enough to take care of that you have to try, but not so hard you're dedicating your whole life towards keeping the thing alive.
RATS
Rats sorted me out in exactly this situation, but that's because I knew I would never let them suffer shit living conditions (which forced me to get out of bed and attend to them). They require 1hr minimum per day of out of the cage interaction, and are incredibly cute, based, & intelligent. The downside is they only live two years average and will break your heart more than you thought a furry little pest ever could when they go. This will remind you that you are human.

Is labor out of the question? There are lots of high paying low skill jobs if you're willing to work pretty hard. Cable guys make 50k/year starting out in my state and they hire literally anybody, but it's hard and they're not very nice.
>Is labor out of the question?
Yeah. I don't have the energy to get out of bed. I barely have the energy to eat once a day
you need to get on SSRIs and a therapist
>pay thousands for israelite meds and scammer who just listens to you rant
Idk
You're actually coping and being treatment resistant, therapists do much more than listen to you rant.
bs. ive had several and it doesnt fix not having a purpose in life. it doesnt fix living a shit life. the advice i got was completely useless go outside shit. yeah youre supposed to take ssri while you fix your life but they just give you that shit because life is so terrible for you that you might check out. ssri are the ultimate cope and most people dont use them the way its intended. they just keep taking them as a cope to deal with modern life. you think living in some shoe box without a family wage slaving away for low income is easily fixable nagger. if it was no one would fucking live like this. therapy is the biggest meme on the planet.
What made everything decent and bearable for me was finding a job where me and my colleagues have genuine kinship. I don't have a "purpose" or whatever, but every day I work, talk and eat with nice people who care about each other.
you can’t get out of bed or eat lil pup you’re already brain broken it can’t get much worse
Giant slut eating snake!
