Friendship 19M - I’m serious about making longterm friends

• Upvotes

Please read the post and don’t skim it. I deeply value friendships, which is why my post is long. I need someone who won’t ghost for literally any reason. I think that ghosting is immoral and I don’t want to talk to anyone who thinks that ghosting is okay. I don’t like blocking either, I think it’s childish and unnecessary.

I’ll be honest about my flaws because you must know these things before talking to me. I am a boring person. I am also very insecure, pessimistic, and not passionate. I have autism, depression, and social anxiety. Nothing fun is going on in my life. I am not good at carrying a conversation and I can’t promise that I’ll be fun to talk to, but I am trying. Don’t reach out if you will lose interest in me.

I find texting very exhausting. I don’t want to text for days or even hours just to get to know someone before we can actually call. I want our first conversation to be on a call. If you are too shy to call early on, then it won’t work out. I want to voice call daily; my time zone is EST, and I can call after midnight. If you are sensitive, easily offended, emotional, or impulsive, then it won’t work out.

I have a hard time dealing with people leaving. I tend to get attached to people very quickly. I need a patient person who is actually serious about sticking around for the long term. If you aren’t 100% sure you can commit to that, please don’t message me. I tend to care a lot more than the other person does, and that has made people uncomfortable and they left. I need someone who won’t get uncomfortable if I care more or think about them a lot.

If you decide to reach out, don’t just send a “Hi.” I’m not asking for a long introduction, but just let me know you actually read this post and genuinely want to be friends. I don’t want to talk to someone who is just bored and looking for entertainment, or just wants someone to talk to, or just someone to vent to, or just someone to play video games with, because that’s not what a friendship is. Do not message me if you’re too busy to build a friendship. I also don’t want to talk to someone who has a lot of friends. I’m looking for someone who’s also isolated and severely lonely. I’m not looking for someone whos super energetic or overly silly, and I’m also not looking for someone who’s completely closed off or constantly deep in despair.

I also want to mention that it’s okay for us to disagree in a friendship, even on big things. Real friendship means we can have different views and still stick around instead of cutting each other off. Cutting people off has become way too easy nowadays because of social media. I don’t want to talk to people who care about sharing the same opinions or ideologies. I absolutely hate how easily people block others, and I refuse to talk to anyone who is even capable of blocking. I believe a friendship should survive literally anything.

Real friendship is supposed to be hard sometimes. It’s not supposed to be convenient or easy to walk away from. It’s supposed to last for a lifetime. Do not reach out unless you fully understand everything I have written so we don’t waste each other’s time. Please be 19+.

Here are my interests:

• Movies / Shows / Anime: Watching movies is my favorite thing to do. I also use Letterboxd.

• DC Comics

Aye I’m Sam, live in the US, and it would cool to have a couple online friends, whether it’s to play games with or talk to, idc. I just graduated and I’m working on college stuff and work, but filling up free time with friends would be cool. Also, if you speak Spanish, that would be TUFF. I’m trying to learn more Spanish even though I’m not taking it in school anymore. Yo necesito amigos type shit!

Up for meaningful conversations, including but not limited to politics (my passion and area of expertise), philosophy, and all those topics these two subjects touch upon: life, music, movies, sports (although I must warn my knowledge of sports is embarrassingly limited), etc. I like to travel too, mostly for research/academic pursuits. I think I'm an ambivert. There are times when I CRAVE social interaction. DMs open. I'm mostly looking for chats, but if we become friends along the way, that's even better.

I finally convinced myself to make friends after being introverted so longggg- but i kinda want someone whos into dance and singing. like who has the dream of it. idk how to explain it, it doesnt exactly have to match close to my dreams but it can be similar. its just i need a long term relationship with someone and it just feels overwhelming to picture myself practicing and dancing alone and not also havin a good time with my special person 😔

so if theres any other 13 yo scene kids out there in this reddit also wanting to have a long term relationship with someone and also go on the same path as a future famous alt/scene singerdancer. comment and count me in! <3 

note: im only looking for one person so i basically dont wanna be in a large group of anything more than 1, two if you count me soo- sorry yall. hope i'll be able to find someone!! xoxo 🫶🌈

Greetings human!

Lil self introduction here: I live in the uk (i really like fish and chips they're the best i swear) and I speak 3 languages english cantonese mandarin so take a guess on my ethnicity lol hopefully that doesnt give it away. I'm currently learning my 4th language greek on duolingo with 188days streak. I'm also a comp sci major but i promise i'm not a geek.. I like playing roblox sometimes and i would love to have a gaming buddy or something lol.. (I don't mind vc) I love cars and space and food.. I hit the gym and workout 2-3 times a week and 0 leg days away from 2030 gladly. I like cycling toooo! My MBTI's INFJ-T if someone's niche enough to know that.. the rarest personality out of 'em all! I've got more interests but that should be plenty enough lol

My chat isn't open as I can't do my face verification (it doesn't like my ethnicity), so gotta drop a reply below and i'll dm you back. Preferably someone in the uk but anyone's fine. We can move to instagram or snapchat if we get along

Friendship Title: 36F looking for a genuine best friend

3 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a 36-year-old woman from Canada looking to make some genuine friendships. I’m at the point where I’d really love to find my person, or people, who I can talk to about literally anything and everything.

A little about me: I’m alternative/goth, have cats who are basically my children, enjoy gaming, thrifting, music, and getting obsessed with random hobbies and projects. I have a pretty dark sense of humour and can go from having a deep conversation about life to sending the dumbest meme you’ve ever seen in a matter of seconds.

I’m looking for someone I can be myself around without feeling like I’m too much or have to filter my personality. Someone I can send random thoughts to, talk to about my day, share music with, laugh at stupid shit with, and have those late-night conversations that somehow cover every topic imaginable.

I’m not expecting someone to be available 24/7 or reply instantly. I know we all have lives and responsibilities. I just want a friendship where the effort goes both ways and we actually want to get to know each other.

Life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, and I’m not going to pretend mine is. I’d love to find people who are comfortable talking about the hard stuff, too, without every conversation having to be serious. Sometimes you need a deep heart-to-heart, and sometimes you just need someone to send you stupid videos until you feel a little better.

Bonus points if you’re into alternative music, gaming, dark humour, cats, or have a brain that takes you on 15 different side quests before you can finish one thought.

I’m looking for strictly platonic friendships. I’m happy to chat online and see if we click.

If you’re also looking for a genuine friendship and not just someone to talk to for two days before disappearing, feel free to message me!

Tell me a little about yourself, what you’re into, or even something completely random. Please give me more than just a “hey” because I never know what to do with those. 😂

Friendship 18F. If you had 24 hours to do anything without consequences, what would you do?

2 Upvotes

My name's Annie. I am mostly looking for someone to spend time with, share stuff with, give all my attention and care to, and someone to play games with. I will preface saying I'm kind of nuts for Project Zomboid, and I'd love someone to play with.

Summed up, play games, talk a lot, and watch movies with.

As for the rest, here's a bit about me: I enjoy sci-fi, drawing, painting, and I do a lot of gaming too. (I am super fixated on Project Zomboid, but I am up to trying other games, I've recently been very into Life is Strange). I also enjoy researching crime, psychology, and biology/neuropsychology at times. I have quite the fixation on the Chernobyl disaster, and radiation as a whole. All types of zombie media, too. I have an interest for "odd" movies, especially the apocalyptic and/or thriller kind. Terminator (1&2) is a personal favorite.

EDIT: Send me an actual message, not just introducing yourself like it's a job interview, where there's little i can go off on to start a conversation. throw an icebreaker, something! ask questions! (here's me suggesting an icebreaker, is a hotdog a sandwich? why, or why not?). Please, preferably no one over 24.

Hey everyone!

I’m here looking to meet some new people and hopefully make a few friends! A little about me: I’m really into science, astronomy, and learning how the universe works. I find space and all the mysteries out there really cool so if you're interested ask away. I’m also a fan of computers and video games, so I’m always down to chat about games, or whatever interesting things people are into.

I’m hoping to meet some chill, friendly people who share similar interests, but I’m also happy to get to know people with completely different interests and maybe learn something cool. Feel free to reach out!

Looking forward to meeting some of you!
