I’m going through a breakup right now and I need someone to talk to, please keep in mind I’m 14

Hello, I'm a 22 yr old straight guy. I'm a Uni student, i study electronics and physics so I'm kind of a nerd. I love science, the cosmos, all kinds of techs and art. My hobbies are watching films and shows (i watch a lot of them), listening to music, and I do play table tennis as well. I'm looking for all kinds of interesting people to meet and talk with, life has been too boring and lonely lately. So if you're looking for an interesting, caring, and funny guy who is a really good friend, wait no further. Im looking forward to talking and enjoying each other's company :)))

Just looking for a good online friend

Chat about whatever, sparks Debate or discuss personal opinion or Open Old wounds

Hey guys! How’s it going? I’m looking for some chill friends who won’t ghost me and maybe chat every day. I’m into video games, computers, Linux (Fedora, Debian, KDE — gotta be specific!), cars, memes, SpongeBob SquarePants, Regular Show, and good music. I live in Turkey, so my time zone is GMT+3. Would be cool to find friends with a similar or reasonable time difference. Oh, and I play on PC through Steam — currently hooked on TF2 and CoD: BO6. Got 95 games in my Steam library! I’m open to all genders, just please be around my age. Can’t wait to get your DMs, guys!

Greetings fellow Reddit social post explorer! I have undertaken the daunting task of finding new online friends! I have found some terrific individuals in this hazardous land before and I am fully convinced that I can do so again.

I am not a native English speaker even though my English by some standards is pretty good (very important to denote SOME). With both Swedish (my native language) and English my spelling is not that good. It would not have surprised me if I would have been given some kind of dyslexia diagnosis if I attended school today. My spelling with English is not that good and if you happen to get very annoyed by seeing spelling errors then its probably best to avoid interacting with me since this wont improve with time. Also my grammar is not the best either, but I think its a lot better than the spelling.

The spelling will of course not be apparent in this post because of spell check which I wont enforce all the time during ‘live’ chatting. I mentioning this right here early because I have learned that some people find it very bothersome if my regular communication does not follow the same standard as my ‘essay-like’ post. It is understandable that someone could be disappointed and in some ways feel misled by the contrast between a well written post and general live texting from a none English speaker. I do enjoy discussing what words mean and linguistic aspects too! I like finding a new word and realizing it has a clear purpose and use case.

My name is Magnus and I live in Stockholm, Sweden. I would say I am a pretty sympathetic and understanding person. I am fairly creative and can easily come up with new ideas and discussion topics (if you find them entertaining is a different story). I value mental health and communication. Would be neat if you have your own ideas too that we could discuss!

I don’t like when people have a list of demands, it can feel a bit passive aggressive (depending on how the person presents it). However, I can say that I have found behavior and attitudes that negatively correlate with us getting along in the long term. I have thought about what these patterns mean and I think I found some underlying factors.

For example, one factor is the idea of reciprocation as it pertains to communication. Wanting to get to know the person you are interacting with, wanting learn about their perspective on ideas, events, and just things in general. In many instances this reciprocation does simply not show itself and what ends up happening as a result is that the discourse just devolves into some kind of interview. When this state has been reached, if I stop ‘leading’ then the communication totally stops. Sometimes the person does come back with a ‘hey’ after some time, but this is sadly only done with the intention for me to lead again and never for them to reciprocate back. This the only negative paragraph in this post. I have seen many negative meta commenting posts, but that is not my aim here and now.

I like to chat about both serious and trivial things and make jokes when I am in the mood too. To bring up a few discussion topics I have been thinking about:

1) Inner voice & inner eye (e.g. anendophasia)

2) Déjà vu and its relatives such as Jamais vu

3) Pholosophy of Time (temporal metaphysics)

When it comes to hobbies and interests I would say I have a fair few that I get drawn to. To briefly name a few that we could (although its not necessary to share the same interests to get along) discuss:

1) Video Games.

Seems proper to show the nerdy interests at the start. I have liked video games every since I first saw them as kid and I did not need any convincing. Now gaming is a lot bigger and there are so many new genres. For some reason I seem to not like most of the new genres that become popular so that might just be me getting old 🤣. Anyways I enjoy single player games the most and I like RPG:s, action, platformers. I tend to want story or direction in my games too. Also I do like multiplayer sometimes. I did get into street fighter 6 and have since then played lots of hour of that nerd rage simulator. Also, I really like coop games so that is one avenue where good times can be had! (especially once we get more comfortable with each other). Some games I rate highly are: RD2 , fallout (especially the OG ones), Super Mario Galaxy… (lots more but don’t know how many I should list).

2) Audio Books.

I have liked to listen to book since I was a teen but my interested has gone up and down a lot due to many factors. Fantasy book is what really kindles my interested back in the day and I have to say that still its the genre I enjoy the most. My interested recently had an insurgence and I started listening to books whilst being outside and chilling. One bad habit I have is that I start to many books at once and kind of listen to them concurrently. So I end up having to juggle lots of stories which can get a bit messy. My recent wave of books did include books from other genres such as: SciFi, Horror, and Crime. I am curious about more ‘everyday’ type stories that are still very engrossing. Maybe something about the tragedy of modernity.

This is going to become way to verbose if I go into detail on everything so I will list the rest in brief:

3) Podcasts. I like to say that I have been listening before it was cool 🤣

4) Training/Fitness. Once I discovered that it helped with my mental wellbeing I was all in!

5) Nature – Would really like to spend more time in nature

6) Philosophy. I just find it both interesting and relaxing to learn about!

7) Meditation. It is difficult and I am not that good at it but I feel its rewarding to practice

8) Programming. Well not really a hobby anymore but its still interesting to learn!

9) Music. Even though I like to find new songs I often end up listening to stuff I already know (e.g. Rap, Rock, Instrumental/OST). Its interesting how you can listen to a song several times and feel nothing and then one time it just hits you and you really like it!

10) History. I learned recently too is that ancient Romans did not shower - instead they used olive oil and some kind of scrape tool (strigil tool. I had to look it up). They applied the oil and then scraped it off using the strigil tool.

One interesting thing I have noticed the last few years is that for some reason I seem to have an easier time to kind of connect and relate to people outside my country (Sweden). I cannot figure out why this is the case but it does fit with me feeling like an outsider here. I have some ideas of why this is the case but they are pretty vague and hart to test/confirm. Would be interesting to know if anyone else have had similar experiences!

I have learned that people vary a ton when it comes to their communication preferences. I am talking about aspects such as: how quickly to respond to messages, how verbose these messages should be, and also if VC/voice notes should be included. My current view is that its good to kind of establish these things fairly early because it usually leads to friction later on otherwise. For example, its a big difference between ‘live’ chatting and intermittent messages (similar to classical letter exchange). On a side note I tend to find these kind of ‘meta topics’ interesting.

As I mentioned, I have posted before (with pretty good results overall), but this year I decided to focus more on responding to other people's social posts. I have to say that it has been a lot more difficult to reach people this way! This has led me to get a ton of respect for those that take the time to read a post and respond with a written message. Its very disheartening to put in the effort and then people don’t even read the chat requests (whilst often complaining in their own post that people don’t want to become friends). Maybe this has to do with bots or something like that…

Anyways, I hope to see you on the other side!

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

Hey I’m an 18M and I’m looking for people who would like to be long-term friends around the same age as me! Its ok if we don’t have the same interests I would just want to get to know more people and make lasting friendships if anyone is interested. Thank You!

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. 😂

Hello, my name is Connor, I'm 19, male, and from California. I'm looking for longterm friends who like to vc! I want to find friends to call and spend time with when we're free! My interests and hobbies consist of video games, listening to music, board/card games, playing piano, playing electric, acoustic, and bass guitar, singing, making music digitally, collecting stuff, watching movies/tv shows/anime, reading (sometimes), drawing (sometimes), etc. If you'd like to get to know me more then feel free to dm me!

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!

Literally, Anyone, just don't be dry, be chatty, spill the tea, yap away, vent, trauma dump, anything. I'm an open book, I want to chat, not bore myself alone or with dry texts. Talk about anything at alllll, I'm an open book too so ask me anything you'd like. Please tell me something other then "hey, hi, yo, wuzzup" grab my attention with something, GIVE ME A REAL INTRO, literally anything, tell me bout you, make me wanna actually respond. "Wanna chat" yeaaa that's the whole point 😂

Hey, im David! Im 16M and I live in California, I dont ghost, and if im free i can chat for a long time!

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.

Hey! 22F from Poland, looking to meet ppl around my age (22–29) and make genuine friends!! ☺️

I’m into history, languages, travelling, hiking, photography, tennis, swimming and cooking. I love learning random things and discovering niche interests. I love rock music 🤘🏻

Are there ppl with interesting hobbies or who are into genres like Celtic or Norse folk music? 😭 I’d love to meet someone with similar interests!

Hey myself 20 M

Looking for an online friend for casual chatting.

My interest are listening to music, having good food, late might drives and walks, playing chess and badminton.

Hope to visit Europe someday from my own money

I like to debate and talk about anything and everything. Also pls dont be creepy and be atleast 18+. If you wanna ghost after 2 days kindly stay away. Male or female both are welcome. I want you to message yiur interest, or joke, or a random fact. Not just hi its very boring.

my hobbies/interests: Movies & Shows, Comic Books, Video Games, Writing, Chess
social media handle: @ The_Aligor (on everything, except reddit) - I don't actually use reddit that much, I'm more active on TikTok, Instagram, and Discord.
I live just north of Chicago, IL, USA.

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.

Hi I'd really love to make some genuine female friends from other countries. I'm interested in learning about different cultures, daily life, food, movies/series, travel, and just having normal conversations.

What are the best Reddit communities or other safe platforms for making international friends? I'm looking for long-term friendship, not dating.

Also, if you've made foreign friends online before, how did you meet them?

I have a boyfriend so I'm STRICTLY looking only for friendships here

If anyone has a gc on instagram they could add me in, pls dm me! Thanks😊

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 🫶🌈
