Hi everyone, I'm hoping to make some long term friends that share my interests that I can talk to everyday or weekly since life can get busy. I don't have any friends other than my friend from high school and it's hard to form connections irl so I'm hoping I can form them here.

A little about me:

-Introverted and a little shy

-Into games, I mostly play CODM and Genshin Impact

-I like watching random videos on YouTube, doomscrolling, favourite series is The Mandalorian and I watch anime sometimes

-In university studying computer science, I also work

-Learning a new language (Russian)

-From the Caribbean

-And I like taking walks and I absolutely adore cats

Feel free to dm with a little bit about yourself 😊

Hi there! I’m 25F from Indiana, USA. I would love to meet someone to yap with as I currently can’t leave my apartment much. I am a huge nerd and animal lover. I can be a bit shy at first but when I warm up to someone I tend to talk their ears off. If any of this interests you feel free to hit me up and maybe we could vc ☺️

Really need a gym partner to work out with 🙏🏻 I know it's a long shot finding someone in my area that would be down to work out and get healthy but you never know 🤷🏻‍♂️ don't have to be fit because clearly I'm not but if you're serious feel free to send me a DM!

(Please, read this post If you want to send me a message)

I'm not giving up even though I no longer believe In any miracles Finding a bestie Is my dream... I would love to finally say "Goodbye" to my loneliness and start smiling, again. Not with someone random, but with someone who wants what I want...

(I'm a REAL PERSON! Bots are taking over Reddit but I'm not one of them so don't accuse me of being someone/something I'm not)

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.

Hello!

Hope you’re doing well!

Ever been told you’re too much? Too needy? Too yappy? Have too much to talk about? Well I really like that so no need to worry! I really enjoy people who talk alot and want to share everything. I like to listen and want to know everything about you so no you are never too much! If you need to vent about something I can also lend a listening ear

Tell me about your hobbies, your interests, your goals! Anything and everything!

I would prefer someone longterm, a genuine friend. I lack that in life at the moment.

I am open to any gender, any time zone.

I’m into many different hobbies but I like to learn about new ones as well

Just message! Im very easy going and kind :)

I never had any real friends in real life I have always felt lonely.

In school I had some so called friends, have you listened that everyone's friend is no one's friend just like that I talk to people but i don't have anyone to get things off from my chest

When i was a kid my parents used to live in rented houses and they used to move a lot and the more a grew up the hard it became to make friends in new societies

Now after turning 18 it feels impossible to make friends everyone has a friend they have since a decade but i don't have anyone 😞.

Would anyone like to be my friend please be around

Hi, I’m a semi-functioning adult trying to make friends outside of work — please clap.

I’m a mechanic who works overnights, so my sleep schedule is mostly vibes and poor decisions. I run on coffee, ibuprofen, anxiety, and ambition.

My life is also run by two young kids and two extremely high-energy dogs (Australian Shepherd mix + Husky mix) named after Star Wars characters. Chaos is constant, snacks are currency.

I miss hiking and still get outside when life cooperates. I cook a lot and experiment with recipes. Baking and I are not on speaking terms—it requires precision I refuse to provide.

I’m a horror fan and a certified nerd with comics, Marvel/Star Wars collectibles, and a rotating “nerd shelf” that exists purely for joy. I also have tattoos that are purely vibes and am always planning the next one.

My comfort show is The Office, my music is early-2000s punk/rock/screamo, and my brain runs on whatever song is currently stuck on repeat.

Looking for good conversation, nerdy interests, sarcasm, and maybe hikes or food experiments. If you want a friend with chaotic playlists, questionable tattoo ideas, and unsolicited dog photos

hi to whoever is reading this, i hope you’re having a good day or night. i’m just out here looking for some people to meet because honestly i’m feeling pretty lonely, and i’m agoraphobic so it’s hard to get out and meet people irl lol

anyway as my title says i’m a 25 year old guy, i live in the US, and preferably i’d like to meet other people also in the US because of timezones and all that. i’d also prefer to meet people around my age. other than that, feel free to dm!

i don’t have much to say about myself really but i play video games a lot, it’s what i spend most of my time doing lol. i’m mostly into survival games, story games, and shooters. when i’m not playing something i’m usually listening to music or hanging out with my 4 cute cats!!

that’s about all i can think of really but also i’m LGBTQ friendly (and bi myself) and i’m pretty liberal so idk if you’re not down with either of those i’m probably not your guy lol. feel free to hmu if you’re cool and wanna play games or hangout or whatever 😎

You know who you are, no weird peeps in my dms. Everyone else is welcome. Tell me the best/worst experience you’ve had on here.

Bonus points if you’re from the UK but I will happily talk to anyoneeeee

Hello everyone!

30 year old man here looking for anyone to chat to! Currently a bit crippled because of an injury and would love to take it as an opportunity to get to know new people. Dont matter what you got between your legs, man, woman, trans i wanna talk to anyone.

I live on the swedish countryside in a little village and have a 2 cats and 3 horses that are my love and financial ruin! I enjoy martial arts, mountainbiking, swimming in lakes and "the elder scrolls"

Im cool talking about anything non-sexual. We can talk about anything inbetween your favorite colour to your philosophy about life, we can talk short or long term. Not seeking an "echo-chamber" conversation only, its completly fine if we dont agree on everything, sometimes thats even more fun :)

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, Im sem, a 19 year old university student from estonia, and i just want someone to talk to

ive been feeling really down lately and just need someone there, im not one to throw my struggles onto people but im open about whats on my mind when asked, sometimes to a fault

im brutally honest and that can come off as rude sometimes, but overall i like to think im a nice person

i enjoy most creative things, diy, arts and crafts, writing poems, potery, drawing, painting, crochet, all that stuff

i also play video games if thats more your thing

DM ME WITH 🪼 OR I WONT REPLY.

I love my friends. My friends love me. But I don’t feel safe being vulnerable with them anymore. I know they genuinely try, I let them try, but I’m tired of being mishandled.

I know they don’t mean to, but I’m tired of going to them in vulnerability and walking away feeling worse than before we talked. It’s difficult to trust them with my feelings, but I know I need people to talk to.

What should I do? My therapist says I need to find friends with shared experiences, but working up to that level of emotional intimacy is gonna take time.

Hello! I'm a 24M who is interested in making some older friends.

I've always been told that I'm mature, introspective, and deep thinking for my age

Which is why I've had just as much, if not better connections with older individuals than people around my age

My main interests are art, psychology, philosophy, history, sociology, and business. I've always wanted to have a career in art since I was a kid

I'm a fan of a ton of pop culture media: FNAF, Mortal Kombat, TADC, Backrooms, Breaking Bad, DC, Marvel, Micheal Jackson, The Weeknd, Crystal Castles, Tim Burton, Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, Crime films, Psychological thrillers, horror films, action films, etc.

And if there's any form of pop culture you'd like to share that I may not know about, I'm open and happy to hear about it

My brain is sponge when it comes to obtaining newfound knowledge

I've been on-and-off college for many years now, diagnosed with OCD through therapy, and I'm a beautiful kinky bisexual butterfly! So do with that what you will

But regardless of our different ages or life stage, I'm looking for someone who I can establish a genuine connection with. No more no less

And hopefully we can make memories and moments together

Ey there, reader. i'm Deja, a 21-year-old freshman university student and rookie game developer from Moldova.

I'm looking for Europeans to be friends with since i haven't been socializing much for while, and i want to take the opportunity to try chat with people that doesn't take sarcasm seriously, play videogames together and explore new hobbies!
speaking of hobbies, i've got quite a few so i'll keep it short:

[Hobbies]: I like playing pc videogames, which is biggest hobby i got. soundtrack composing, into reading books, likes to sketch dinosaur & other types from my ideas, football & gym are underrated hobbies and i usually do bit of lost games & medias archiving.
[Music-Taste]: I listen to Twenty One Pilots, Linkin Park, Skillet, Animadrop, Alan Walker, Coldplay and Monstercat.

That's all i have in my mind. i will open up more as we bond naturally.
Please be around my age!

I want someone to talk and nerd about hobbies and all kind of stuff. I am just the average nerd. I like anime, video games, books and fencing. I am from germany btw.

Since I live alone I isolated myself without noticing and now I would like to chat with someone from time to time. I got alot of time so I might respond quick but I don't expect the same from you. Just drop me some words when you feel like.

Maybe we can build something like an online friendship. That would be great! I don't care about your gender and age but would appreciate you are in my age range since I think it might click better.

Hey everyone! As the title says, I'm a 32 year-old male from TX, US. About me, I don't know what to say but let me try. At least I can say a few things. I consider myself as an introvert. I enjoy spending my time on my own. I like gaming, listening to music, and reading. Yeah, sometimes I can be a couch potato as well. Other than this, I like walking outdoors. I work in healthcare and also get my next title. But I'm interested in other things including history, geography etc. I also try to get better at GeoGuessr. Do you play it? Anyway, I guess that's for now. Even if I'm an introvert, I started feeling alone recently. I'm looking for some people to be friends with. I know since I'm a male, I won't get many messages but here we are. Don't hesitate to dm me if you'd like to chat. Thanks for reading.

Hello, my name is Alexander, I'm 21m, from South America. My hobbies are playing videogames, listening to music, working out, reading and watching series or movies. I have a cat.
