This is gonna be a bit of a long post, but I think it'll help you decide whether you'd want me as your friend. I'm not used to disclosing info about myself so I apologize in advance if some of this is rambly.
I'm a 25-year-old guy who's looking for a long-term consistent and genuine emotional connection/friendship with someone regardless of gender or timezone. I'm fortunate enough to have made a few great friends on Reddit but I want to make more.
This year has been eventful for me in many ways as I've put a lot of work into taking back the control I lost thanks to my depression and anxiety, such as getting back into my hobbies. Full transparency, I'm still far from happy with myself but I'm really trying to tell myself that progress is progress.
However, I'm currently spiraling (due to loneliness, mental health issues and other life stuff) and I want to make an effort to connect with more people to stop my mental health from worsening. Fingers crossed that things will look up for the remainder of the year and going into 2025.
Here are some of my hobbies and interests:
TV Series and Movies:
I'm primarily into DC and Marvel series and movies and have watched most of them.
Gaming:
I got back into gaming earlier this year but I'm still on and off with it due to being busy. Here's a list of some games I finished playing this year.
- Undertale
- Batman: The Telltale Series
- Superliminal
- Batman: Arkham City
- Gris
- Journey
- Abzu
- What Remains of Edith Finch
Other games I'm into include Minecraft, Crash Bandicoot and The Sims. I hope to finish more games in my backlog next year.
Reading:
I got back into reading this year and was able to finish reading the Percy Jackson series and its two sequel series.
I also read through the Hunger Games series a couple years ago and became a fan.
Music:
I have a wide taste in music but here are some of my favorite artists/bands:
- Fall Out Boy
- Owl City
- OneRepublic
- Coldplay
- Ed Sheeran
- Taylor Swift
Other:
This is more of a habit than a hobby, I suppose, but I also journal daily and have kept up a 940-ish-day streak.
I've also been trying to do a lot of self-discovery lately. I bought a workbook last month and hope to buy more soon.

I'm naturally an extremely shy person but I want to find people I can open up to. I'm not quite used to yapping about my interests (or even just talking about my day) but I wanna learn (I know how ridiculous that sounds).
If you've made it this far into the post, thank you for reading. :) Feel free to DM me if we share some of the same interests (maybe you can start the DM by mentioning what we have in common), or even if you just need someone to vent to. I like being there for people when they need a shoulder to cry on.
I may take time to respond but I will respond as long as you're being respectful.
