OH MY GOD
You don't have to force yourself to bounce back so quickly. I read something recently that said "when you come in from a rainstorm, you don't expect yourself to be dry and warm right away", and it really resonated with me. It's okay to take time to dry off and warm up. Take the time you need to process what happened to you.
"That pet bug/reptile can't really love you, it's just used to you"
Okay well if it's a primeval monster older than the evolution of recognizable affection and doesn't even socialize with its own kind it's even cooler that it came to recognize you as a safe facet of the only existence it understands. Imagine a literal dragon deciding you're neither food nor a threat just because you cared to provide for it the right way. A little tiny xenomorph that would be either angry or terrified by you under all natural circumstances that drove its evolution and yet it still knows you're a neutral to positive force in its universe.
