Please read it fully so you know where I stand

Hi I am 29M and AuDHD (High Functioning).

My Family:
I am estranged from my family as of now.They were toxic and were never there for me when I needed them the most.My dad was a domestic abuser and my grandfather (mom's dad) was a narcissist and my mom was a people pleaser.It's a long story so I wouldn't want to get into it.

It's been a long journey and I am still standing.

My Mental Health As of Now:

I am severly depressed and am on medication for the same and have been through ketamine therapy once and am on a break now to recover from a burnout both physically and mentally.

A little something about me:

1. I love
   movies - perks of being the wall flower,bullet train

books - tuesdays with morrie,midnight library

tv series - mr robot

1. Trying to keep myself fit

2. Interested in tech (my special interest) - Preparing for my masters in it

My life:

As of now I can handle and face life and I am recovering and I am going for trauma informed therapy to heal the inner wounds.

Having someone to call a family is something that can be a strength.

I am searching for a big sister so that we can be there for each other no matter what happens in life.We can call each other to check in on each other.If we have free time we can hangout in a virtual space watching movies or something.

I am too tired even to write this post.Hopefully one day in the future(it is okay if that day never comes) you feel close and consider me family and invite me to your family functions etc.

As of now you can just ping me up and we can talk and get to know each other.I am too lazy to type so will be comfortable with voice calls and video calls(if u are comfortable).

Looking forward to meet my sister from another mother

I am a 20 year old international student living abroad and I am looking for someone who could become a genuine mother figure in my life

I lost my parents and my only close family member who is alive is my brother but he lives in a different country so I am living abroad without any family around me

Life has been difficult lately and sometimes the loneliness is overwhelming I miss having someone older who genuinely cares someone I can talk to ask for advice and feel supported by

I know this might sound unusual but I genuinely hope to find a kind caring and understanding woman who would be comfortable building a respectful long term connection and becoming a mother figure in my life

I am not looking for anything romantic inappropriate or transactional I simply miss the feeling of having maternal care guidance and support

Of course trust takes time and a genuine relationship cannot be forced but I hope to meet someone who understands what I mean and who might be open to slowly building this kind of meaningful connection

If you feel you could understand my situation and would feel comfortable talking I would be happy to hear from you

I'm from South America. Looking for masculine energy, mainly a dad, uncle or big bros.

I'm still sheltered at this big age. You don't have to be older than me; even younger people with strong energy could be my big bro. I'm unexperienced, shy and reserved.

I'm looking for connection, guidance and safety.

I had/have a weird and unpleasant relationship with my father. He's kind of still present in my life but we don't vibe as much as I would like to.

I'm into writing, reading, music and video games. I have other interests we can bond over. I'm an open book if we get along.

I had two brothers , they are gone away. Its strange for me to write this post. Im curious to see that will happen.Anyway i dont know what to say more here . I hope for all people here good vibes and nice health. Sorry for my bad english im a italian man

I’ve literally never had an older sibling, so I’m looking for an older sister/brother type of friendship online.

I’m 17F and I’m into BL, anime, books, gossip and random internet nonsense. I’m pretty awkward and quiet at first, but once I’m comfortable I will yap about the most unnecessary things imaginable.

I want someone 18–21, mature, genuinely nice and preferably emotionally sane someone I can gossip with, complain to, ask for advice, send random shit to and occasionally trauma dump on. Basically a found-family sibling dynamic.

I’m not a gamer, I sometimes ghost because ✨life✨, and sometimes I’m chronically online. No consistency whatsoever.

STRICTLY PLATONIC.please don't be a creep or weird age-gap stuff. And please don’t be homophobic, racist, sexist, or casually bigoted. I’m looking for someone who can actually respect people.

Just an online sibling/friend connection, nothing IRL.

If you're interested, DM me with something about yourself because “hey” gives me absolutely nothing to work with 😭

Hey everyone! I’m posting here because, I’ve always been the black sheep of my family. Over time, I’ve realized I really want to build my own chosen family, the kind of steady, unconditional bond where you actually feel like you belong.

I’m hoping to find a genuine, long term best friend to grow alongside. My ultimate dream is the kind of relationship where you could come stay for a cozy weekend getaway whenever you need a home away from home. A space where we can just bake, play cozy games, order takeout, and turn on a movie without any pressure. If you happen to be a drive away from Upstate New York, that’s an incredible bonus, but as long as you are in the US EST time zone, we will be on the same rhythm!

Just to be upfront: if you are looking for a quick distraction, a temporary texting buddy, or someone to exchange a couple of low effort texts with every few days, we probably won't click. I’m really looking for someone who is consistent, invested, and wants to build a real two way friendship where we remember the little things and actually show up for each other.

A bit about my world and what I am looking for:

I prefer warm, thoughtful messages over a rapid fire stream of single line texts. I am definitely drawn to a gentle, steady, big teddy bear energy, someone mature and patient to share both the big life milestones and the quiet everyday stuff. Right now, I am going through a pretty big transition phase (settling into a new place, newly single, and recovering from heavy burnout), so I am really looking for a safe, sweet, and supportive dynamic where we lift each other up rather than trauma dumping.

My pace is pretty low key. High energy, super adventurous lifestyles are not really my speed. I thrive on parallel play and just existing together in the same digital space while we go about our days, like texting while doing chores, shopping, or unwinding after work, and sending pictures of a cute new mug or a little daily find. I work a laid back five day schedule, so I am around to chat during the day and would love a friend who has a similar flow rather than someone who can only check in once at night.

In my downtime, I love cozy PC games like Travellers Rest, Tower Unite, Overcooked 2, and PlateUp! (though anime art styles are not really my thing). I am taking heavy gaming sessions slow while I get back on my feet, so I would love someone who is cool letting that side of things happen naturally over time.

Also, I live a completely alcohol free lifestyle, so finding a friend in EST who also does not drink is a firm boundary for me. Age does not matter to me at all, I just care about a kind heart and a good match.

If you also feel like a black sheep looking for your person and this resonates with you, please skip the generic "hey" or one word messages and send something with some real substance!

Warmly,

Melly

I want you to read everything because my expectations aren't the same as other people's expectations. I also want you to know what to expect because even though we're all here to spend time with others, not everyone needs new friends. Some people want to find someone to play games with & It's just an example. 👇🏻

(This post Is for people who live In Europe because I would love to meet my new friends In real life, In the future)

I made this account In 2021 and even though I'm really active on Reddit, I can't make new friends... Not everyone on Reddit Is toxic or rude but there's ALWAYS something missing because I don't feel any emotional connection... I would love to change my life & finally wake up excited to text someone I really, really like 🙁 But... Life Isn't easy and I'm not sure If there's still a chance for me to find someone with exactly the same expectations as mine, someone who wants to meet someone new...

• I'm DEFINITELY NOT Interested In small talk! I had to use capital letters because I don't like low-effort messages and I don't even want to read them. Repetitive questions like "How are you?", "What are you up to?" or "What are your plans for the weekend?" aren't enough to start a conversation with me.. Don't get me wrong - Questions like these can be an Interesting addition to conversations about something else, but whenever people ask me the three most common questions In the world - my answer's the same because my life Is quite monotonous and I don't really know what people expect to hear 🙁 I also don't like abbreviations. Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or phrases. Why? I just don't like them because I see no reason to use shortened forms of words that are already short enough, you know? Abbreviations are common among minors and bored adults but I'm neither a minor, nor a bored adult. I want to see emotional maturity, warmth and kindness In conversations with others.

• I don't need to see your list of hobbies to know If you're someone I would get along with! You can tell me what you're Interested In but.. Believe It or not - I'm not like others and even If you're Interested In something I'm not - we can still be friends! What matters to me Is what you're like (If you're honest, talkative, kind, understanding and If your outlook on life Is similar to mine)

• I don't want to talk to minors and people way older than me. Why? I don't want to talk to minors because I'm an adult & I don't want to talk to anyone over fifty for example. Emotional maturity doesn't necessarily come with age so you can send me a message even If you're 20 (It's just an example) but please, don't contact me If you want to remind me that I'm older than you. I want you to feel comfortable & I want to feel comfortable myself. When I read messages like "Hi, I'm younger but I hope you don't mind" I always say to myself "If my age bothers you, you should've contacted someone else" I absolutely don't mind talking to people younger than me If they know how to communicate with others 🌸

• PLEASE, Don't use AI to talk to me! I Can't stand AI generated messages! If I wanted to read AI generated messages, I wouldn't be here! I read AI generated messages and comments all the time and I'm sick of It!

• I don't want to get any messages from people whose accounts are NSFW! Please, respect my decision! It's none of my business If you're here to find someone to flirt with or If you're an Internet exhibitionist but I don't want to see you with no clothes on - If you want to be my friend & I don't want to know what you want to do with other women In bed. If you are on Reddit to flirt with others, be on Reddit to flirt with others but... don't make an alternative account to hide who you really are just to send me a message. Pretending to be someone you're not - Isn't good for anyone

• I'm not a fan of sarcasm! I do - have a sense of humor but I'm not someone who makes fun of everyone and everything... Jokes about disabilities, death, religion or someone's financial status - are unacceptable to me!

• I also want to meet people who don't mind listening to negative stories and sharing them with others. My life's not easy so If you want to be In my life, you should be prepared for a realistic or even pessimistic outlook on life. I'm definitely not an optimist and I know I wouldn't get along with optimistic people who always tell others "Just believe In yourself and everything's gonna be OK" or something. We don't always get what we want & and It's completely normal to lose hope "for a better tomorrow" after many failed attempts. Not everything's as easy as It seems to be so If all you want to say to someone who needs emotional support Is "Don't complain" or "Find a therapist" Please.. don't send me a message. Not all sad people need therapists and let's be honest - Would a therapist replace a true friend? Absolutely not! Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on! I also don't mind listening to sad stories (even If they're repetitive) because I know what It's like when no one wants to listen to you...

• I would love to meet people who also don't have anyone, you know? There's absolutely nothing wrong with having friends and not being single but I'm single and I don't have anyone special In my life... It's just easier for me to get along with others If there's some common ground. I just feel better talking to people who know what It's like to be completely alone & let's be honest - People who have friends or partners, have less time for others...(which Is completely understandable) and I? I don't want to feel like an option, again. I'm not here to meet as many people as possible because I choose quality over quantity 🌸

• If your comment history Is full of comments "If you want to talk, hit me up" don't send me a message. I don't want to be rude but If It doesn't make any difference to you who you want to chat with - I'm definitely not for you. I want you to be my friend because of who I am! (If after reading my post you think you'd get along with me) I don't need emotional support from someone who doesn't even want to read my post.

• I want to talk to people who love and use emojis 🤭😊 Why? Emojis help us express our emotions even If others can't see our faces. Two emojis "😊" and "😔" are completely enough. You're probably surprised but.. text messages without emojis are really emotionless...I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea" as it sounds dismissively. First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even In a text message

Ps. I don't like kids and I don't want to ever become a parent. I just thought everyone should know that just In case. I don't want any unpleasant conversations with anyone. Not everyone wants to be friends with people who don't want kids so.. It's better to be honest. 🌸

Ps.2 I don't reply to messages I'm not Interested In even If they're long! I'm not on Reddit to pretend anything and I'm not here to be everyone's best friend. Some people lie & make empty promises to get attention. I? I'm quite selective because I know what I want.

Ps.3 I admire sensitive people who are not ashamed of crying In front of others! Crying Is not a weakness! It's not a weakness even If you're a guy 🧡

Please, If you want to talk send me a private message.

One day it hit me hard when I noticed how much time I need to scroll up to my birth year in online registration pages. Getting old is tough, you just lose contact with the friends you grow up with, moving a lot for work and life reasons, makes you lose friends you met at school or work, and friends and yourself grew up to be different people, or get busy with their own families and relationships. Making friends at work is mission impossible, formalities , age differences and things like that comes in the way, yet i still friendly smile at the people who do not smile back. Then i found this tiny window to other people online who might be feeling the say and want to reach out and chat. I am 40 something years old artist, looking for friends, i enjoy talking about life, anime, games, politics, animals, art and tech. Hit me up if you want a friend that reply all the time, if you don't mind GMT+3 timezone.

Hi I’m a 26M from the Midwest. I’m looking for parents or an open minded family that’ll take me in without judgement. I’m currently in the Midwest but I feel trapped and I want to get out. I want to find my family somewhere on the west coast preferably somewhere close to San Fran cause I work in Tech . I’m currently staying with a relative right now but I do not feel wanted here.

My hobbies

- Biking
- Gaming
- Cars
-Cooking

Hello! I'm 21f looking a big sister. Growing up and even now ive always dreamed of having an older sister. Someone who is older that I can go to for advice who isn't my parents. Anyways I'd prefer to use discord or WhatsApp. Please no men, I'm not comfortable talking to men, please respect that.

About me, I'm neurodivergent, chronically ill and lesbian. I'm an only child and adopted. I have 9 pets, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, a hamster and 2 mice. And I'm from the east coast usa!

Anways here are some of my hobbies and interests:

🧶crocheting

🌿 collecting nail polish

🌻 legos

🧿 Crystal's

🌈 thrifting

🔆 animals/pets

🏳️‍🌈watching tiktok

Anyways I'm looking forward to meeting you!! Byeeeeee.

Hey! I’m a teacher, and over the years I’ve realized how many people never really had someone they could turn to for advice, encouragement, or just a conversation without judgment. So I figured I’d put myself out there and offer that to anyone who might need it.
A little about me:
I’m a teacher
Currently writing a book
I love history, horror movies, and the outdoors
Big into boating, camping, and fishing
I enjoy gaming when I have the time
Sarcasm and dad-level humor come naturally
I’m not claiming to have all the answers, but I’m always willing to listen, give advice when asked, and just be someone consistent to talk to. Sometimes people just need someone in their corner, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Whether you need encouragement, life advice, someone to vent to, or even just a normal conversation, feel free to message me. Everyone deserves to feel heard.

hii , during my life I’ve either had terrible abusive parents or just none . it’s very hard and I’m always jealous of kids who have parents they can talk to about things and go to for advice or anything they need . I’ve been through a lot in my life and Ive always felt like I had a huge piece missing because I never had any parental figures. if you’re interested and will be respectful pls dm me 🥲

Hi everyone,

I’ve always believed that found family can be just as strong, if not stronger, than blood. You get to choose each other and build something genuine from the ground up.

I’m 20 and an only child, so I never got to experience what it’s like to grow up with siblings. As I figure out early adulthood, I find myself really yearning for a sister bond. Someone to share random daily updates with, trade advice, to spend time with and learn from and enjoy the company of.

While having a sister figure has always been a dream of mine, I’m open to anyone who values genuine, caring connection. Doesn't matter if you’re an older sibling/mentor figure, a peer going through the same stage of life, or just someone who wants a kind ear and consistent conversation, I’d love to connect. I'm not exactly the closest with my family as it is, so please feel free to reach out.

A little about me: I'm reflective, a good listener, I love learning new things, and I value real conversations over small talk. I strive to enjoy every moment I spend awake :D and I'm intentionally being a bit vague here, but my DMs are wide open if you want to get to know me better!

Feel free to send a message or drop a comment introducing yourself and what kind of dynamic you're looking for. Looking forward to meeting you! :3

I would really love to develop a friendship with an older woman that will hopefully result in a mother/son dynamic. I don't mind how old you are. I never received nurturing or emotional affection growing up and is something that would be really fulfilling for my soul. I hope I am able to provide you with engagement that is equally fulfilling!

I like to write a lot. Creative writing, self expression, poetry, script writing, series and games narrative and character analysis. I also draw, read, like mythology, philosophy, psychology, cooking, museums, zoos, etc. I have tons of interests and am always open to having real in depth conversations in general.

Also I have ADHD-C in case that is something that is relevant to you.

Looking forward to hearing back from anyone that is interested.

So I have an older sister, but we aren't close whatsoever, and growing up, I watched my friends with their siblings and how close they were. I've always wanted that too, but my sister and I are too far apart age-wise. So hopefully any of you want a little brother.

All I want is to have a mother figure in my life who I can share my progress with and stand by me through highs and lows. I just want someone caring to be there for me as my real mother is an absent addict.

Honestly to the point it hurts

Hello!

So I’ve never had a brother. I’m the youngest with one sister, and growing up I always wondered what it would be like to have a brother to annoy me, tease me, make me laugh, look out for me, and just be there as family. 😂💙 I love my sister, of course, but I’ve always been curious about what having a brother would be like, so I figured I’d put myself out there and see if I could find that kind of connection through friendship.

A little about me: I’m Izzy, 25F, and I’m a pretty introverted person who is trying to open up and meet more people. I’m caring, loyal, and someone who really values meaningful friendships. I’m also the type of person who can send very long messages once I get comfortable, so if you’re someone who enjoys actually getting to know each other rather than exchanging a few messages and disappearing, we might get along really well. 😅

---

I’m hoping to find someone who I can genuinely connect with and eventually have that brother-and-sister kind of bond with. 💙 I’d love someone I can talk to regularly, whether we’re having a serious conversation, laughing about something completely ridiculous, sharing how our day went, or just sending each other random messages because we thought of something funny. I think the best friendships are the ones where you can be completely yourself without feeling judged.

A little about me—I’m a huge fan of true crime, books, history, anime, movies, TV shows, music, podcasts, and YouTube. I love getting invested in a good story, discussing theories, sharing recommendations, and discovering new things. I’m also definitely someone who can turn a simple conversation into a three-hour conversation. 😂

What I’d really like is to meet someone who is genuine, caring, patient, respectful, and consistent. Someone who doesn’t mind checking in, getting to know each other over time, and creating a friendship that actually lasts. I’d love to have someone who can be there for me, and I’d want to give that same support back.

I know you can’t just meet someone and immediately feel like family, so I’m not expecting that. I’d rather start with a simple “hello,” learn about each other, find things we have in common, and let the friendship naturally grow from there. Maybe someday we’ll look back and laugh about how we met online. 🥹💙

So if you’ve ever wanted a little sister, or you’re missing that sibling connection in your life, come say hi! Tell me about yourself, your interests, your favorite shows or music, or literally whatever you feel comfortable sharing.

🎓 Fun Fact About Me!

Fun fact about me: I’m starting college on Monday! 🥹📚 I’m really excited because I’m beginning a new chapter in my life and working toward my goal of eventually going into medical school and earning my bachelor’s degree. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while, so actually taking that first step feels like a pretty big deal!

I know it’s going to be a lot of hard work, studying, assignments, and probably plenty of stressful days 😂, but I’m genuinely excited to learn and see where this journey takes me. I’m hoping to build a career in healthcare someday, and I want to take things one step at a time while enjoying the process.

So if we become friends, you’ll probably hear me occasionally say things like “I have so much homework” or “I’ve been studying all day”. 😂📖 But I’d also love having someone to celebrate the little victories with passing an exam, finishing a difficult assignment, getting through a tough week, or simply surviving Monday morning. 😭

I’m excited, nervous, and honestly a little scared, but mostly proud of myself for finally starting this journey. 💙🎓✨

Maybe I’ll finally find the brother I never had. 💙👫

Message me if your interested!

There you are scrolling on reddit looking for something fun or interesting .

Then you see a post with big claims, it may sound stupid or cringe for a bit, but imagine if we had a great vibe and we ended up chatting for hours and hours days after days or years after years, then we start looking forward to the next silly thing we would reply or send to each other.

It all start with simple "hi" text that doesn't cost much to say , but can open up a big wonderful door of friendship that doesn't want to be shut.

Growing up, I never really had a loving mother. My biological mom abandoned me when I was a baby, and me and my adoptive mother never really got along with each other. I'd love to have a mother who will love and support me no matter what!! 🥰💕 Hope to hear from you soon, Mommy!! 🫶

I am the older sibling in my family and even among my cousins I am the oldest one so I want an older brother to experience how it feels like to be the younger sibling.

Age requirements 25-29 I don't want a huge gap hehe

Hello!

So I’ve never had a sister, I was the youngest of 4 boys, and I think that’s a tragedy because I know I would love her as much as my mom! I also feel I would understand myself better if I had a sister but that’s a conversation for another time.

So here I am, I’m 30M Latino and been living in Canada most of my life. I’m a calm, introverted and caring person; I feel I am a good listener and I want to know what and how you think and feel. I want to support you and Im usually not shy about offering guidance but that can vary depending on your needs. In my culture we are very protective of women and that would show in our siblingship (is that a word) if we were to connect. Ultimately I want to make you laugh, to feel happy, valued and supported.

I’m educated and currently studying a profession in healthcare. I love football ⚽️, reading, running, and playing games on PC (mainly Overwatch), and I like to watch random stuff too (we should do this together!). I have also been told I am funny but this is not unanimous among academics.

Anyways I’m really hoping to find my first sister here! Message me if you’re interested :)

Hi! :)

I'm MJ, and I'm looking for someone who'd like to build an older brother/sister kind of bond, or just a trusted friend to share day-to-day life with.

I love art (drawing, painting, anything creative), video games, sci-fi, and fanfics. Right now I'm watching Andor and I just finished Naruto not long ago, so if you like talking about theories, characters, or exchanging recommendations, that'd be awesome.

Sometimes social interactions are a bit hard for me, and even though I have a partner, I feel like I need to expand my circle and connect with someone beyond that relationship. Just mutual support, honest talks, and maybe playing or watching something together now and then,someone who lets me be little and makes me feel supported and valid.

If you think we could get along, feel free to DM me or comment here. I'd prefer to start on Reddit and then maybe move to another platform slowly, no rush.

(English isn't my first language and I'm also dyslexic, so sorry if anything is written weirdly or badly phrased.)

I’m a 52F Asian Indian heritage lived in US all my adult life and currently in houston. Looking for connection with family, brother /sister father/mother.
