(First Time Owner) Hedgehog Bonding / Temperment Towards Owners

Hey, so, I'm considering what pet I should get once I've moved out on my own and realized I need a small animal that has an enclosure (of course, they could run arpund I just can't handle a dog or cat right now.) I've been looking into hedgehogs alongside some others and understand that it's highly likely they'll never love you. But I've seen some people say their hedgie "hates them". Are they being serious or exaggerating ?? I like reptiles as well, I'm not that worried about having an animal that is impartial to me as long as I can handle them occasionally. I just want to be sure I'm going into this well informed and honestly just a little worried about that. I do struggle with tones and taking people literally so I believe the wording of "hate me" means the animal in question refuses to engage and literally would rather get eaten by a hawk thab be in your presence... When it likely more that they couldn't care less and would rather be alone.

If anyone wouldn't mind, please be a bit descriptive in your answer please, I want to be sure I understand what it is I'll be getting into.

The snuggle sacks and whatnot sound perfect since I'm at my desk a lot. I work early morning and will mostly be home in the evenings and nights so I should be up at a good time to bomd with them as well. I know I come from an ignorant perspective but I genuinely want to be sure whatever animal I get will be well loved and cared for. Thank you all
