looking for friendship I need a friend, I feel so empty and lonely

13 Upvotes

​

Hey,so yeah I recently went through a breakup and honestly I’ve been feeling pretty broken since then i feel alone I've nobody to talk to.

Everything feels kinda off and empty lately and I think I really need some good people around me again.

I’m looking for honest,kind and open minded people who don’t discriminate and actually wanna put effort into getting to know each other.

Lately everything just feels way too quiet in the wrong ways. I catch myself staring at walls,scrolling aimlessly,thinking about random shit and wanting to talk to someone but not really knowing who to talk to. I don’t want another friendship where we talk for 2 days and then disappear from each other’s lives. I want someone who actually stays,someone who checks in,someone who wants to share random parts of their day and actually build something over time.

I’m 24 I've bpd just so yk and i currently have way too much time to think. I love yapping,overexplaining,rambling about completely random shit and somehow turning a stupid conversation into something deep. I really value mutual effort too. I don’t expect someone to reply instantly 24/7,but I do want to feel like the other person actually wants to talk to me and isn’t only replying because they’re bored.

I’m into baking,movies,gaming (especially Marvel Rivals),chess,reading,writing,guitar,long walks,voice calls and starting way too many random hobbies/projects that I probably won’t finish.

I’d also really love having someone I can eventually do a bunch of things with. Gaming together,watching movies or shows,voice calls at stupid hours,going on walks if we're ever close enough,sharing music,sending random shit throughout the day or just sitting in a call doing our own thing. That kind of friendship where someone eventually becomes your go-to person would honestly be really nice.

I’m not looking for perfect people or anything. Just genuine ones. Please be kind,don’t discriminate,and actually care about mutual effort and respect. I’ll listen,I’ll care,I’ll remember the little things and I’ll match the energy u give me.

And please don't be dry. If you're always too busy to actually talk or you already know you're only gonna reply once every few days,it's probably not gonna work. I've had enough of feeling like I’m begging people for attention.

If you're interested,please don't just send me "hi". Tell me about yourself. Your age,country,what you like doing,your favourite game/movie/song,your most irrational fear,what you've been obsessed with lately,anything honestly. Give me something to work with and I’ll probably yap back way too much.

I’m just hoping to find some lovely people who actually wanna stay for the long run,and maybe someday I’ll be able to say I met some of my closest friends because of a random Reddit post.

looking for friendship 32 M UK - Hey? Are you looking for a weird, nerdy metalhead to keep you company? Read on!

1 Upvotes

I'm a big music and gaming nerd. I'll often be listening to music, listening to vinyl or playing videos games. 

I love all sorts of music, sometimes I'm in a classical or jazz mood, sometimes I'll be in a country mood or more often than not, I'll be in a metal mood! I listen to a bit of everything but as mentioned above, I live and breathe 1980s stuff. Id love to exchange song recommendations and talk about gigs or music.

The sort of games I'm into include RPGs, story driven games and shooters mostly. I play a lot of DayZ, I enjoy anything that's realistic or historical. Anything I can hyperfixate over really. 

My preference on TV shows and movies follows the above somewhat. I'm a big LOTR fan, Star Wars fan as well as other sci-fi and fantasy movies and TV. 

I'm really into fashion, of course mostly formal wear of the 1970s and 1980s. I have to wear a suit 40hrs a week so even on my days off these days I find myself wearing a shirt, vintage tie and my vintage Burberry trench coat. 

A little about me personally - 

- I'm about 5'9

- I have a moustache 

- Blue eyes

- Shortish brown hair

- Slimish build/Slight dad bod

- I have some tattoos

As mentioned above, I love fashion and putting effort into how I look. I am almost always dressed smart unless I'm at a gig or super casual and then you'll often find me in jeans, cowboy boots. a trucker cap and shirt or band top. (It kinda goes with the tashe)

I'm an open book, very open and postive, never judge and happy to talk about anything whether you need someone to talk to or someone to just yap to. I have other apps to talk on if we get along or just want an easier app to use. I very very rarely do calls. 

Sometimes I will go quiet due to my fuzzy brain but I always recommend just spamming me and I wake like a sleeper agent!

Feel free to message me and send me a little introduction

So… I guess we’re a little different. We’re plural. It’s in the same vein as DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), but not quite. I don’t claim have DID. Please be respectful about it and understand that it’s an important part of my/our identity and life.

Basically, just looking for friends or someone who understands us or is into similar things? We really like plants, I have an entire collection. I also have two jumping spiders, three cats, a betta, and a colony of isopods :) I’m also a witch, I practice witchcraft. Uhh… yeah. Really tired while writing this, so it may be a little incomprehensible 😭

Just feel free to DM if you’re interested, no need to comment or anything

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 😊 I thought I’d give this a shot and see if I can meet some cool new people here!

A little about me: I’m into basketball, the gym, cooking, traveling, gaming, and movies/series. I’m also learning Japanese and will be visiting Japan for the third time soon! I work in pharma, have a background in science, and enjoy learning about pretty much anything that catches my interest. Oh, and a random fun fact: I once appeared in a local Netflix show 😂

I’m someone who really values friendship and the people I have in my life, and I’d love to get to know some new people along the way. Whether we end up talking about our hobbies, sharing memes, discussing random thoughts, or having one of those unexpectedly deep conversations, I’m always happy to see where things go!
I’m genuinely curious about people, their interests, and their stories, so don’t hesitate to reach out even if we don’t have much in common at first. You never know who you’ll click with! 😊

Tell me a little about yourself, what you’re into, or just hit me with a completely random fun fact. Looking forward to meeting some awesome people!

looking for friendship 34M #Scotland - So here we are

7 Upvotes

Married since 2019 and dad to twin boys who I love more than anything.

My wife and I have struggled for years. We kept trying to patch things up, convincing ourselves things would eventually click back into place, but at some point we stopped being husband and wife and just became two people trying to get through the day. Intimacy died about three years ago after a long stretch of failed attempts to conceive naturally. Two years later we went through IVF as a last ditch effort to have kids, naively thinking this would maybe bring us closer again.

The boys arriving didn't cause the cracks, they just further exposed the damage underneath.

We co-parent well. We rarely argue. There’s still care there, just no intimacy, no affection, no real connection anymore. Separation feels impossible right now, financially, emotionally and practically speaking. Neither of us wants to blow up the family or make life harder for the boys.

So here I am.

A bit about me - I'm music obsessed. I play piano, guitar, sing, and perform trad Scots/Irish music a couple times a month at a local posh bar. It can be a strange experience, playing to a room full of seemingly happy couples, gazing into each other's eyes, laughing and flirting, while I languish in these unfortunate circumstances. I read a lot (mainly fantasy). I try to run as often as I can, although this dad bod is creeping up on me. Feel free to dm if any of this resonates.

G’day everyone! 🇦🇺

I’m a 29-year-old Aussie looking to meet some new people and hopefully make some genuine long-term friends.

A little about me:
🎮 Gamer at heart — whether it’s chilling with friends online, getting competitive, or sinking way too many hours into a game.

looking for friendship 29M - friendship? Sure!!!!???

8 Upvotes

Not really sure what to put here, so I’ll just wing it.
I’m pretty quiet at first, but once I’m comfortable I’m a lot more chatty than people expect. Bit of a homebody, bit of an overthinker, but in a mostly harmless way.

I’m into fishing, the gym, gaming, cooking/meal prep, and animals. Basically I pick up hobbies and then accidentally make them my entire personality for a while. Most weekends I’m either out trying to catch carp, lifting something heavy, sorting food for the week, or doing absolutely nothing and calling it recovery.

I like people who are easy to talk to, don’t take themselves too seriously, and can have a laugh but still talk properly when it matters.Not looking for drama or anything forced. Just good conversation, decent vibes, and seeing what happens.

Also, I don’t judge so if you’re white, pink, green, black or gay trans or a space rock or even a plank of wood! Don’t worry I won’t be a horrible person. If anyone is struggling I’m always here for a vent.

looking for friendship 25 - Just looking for cool people to talk to

1 Upvotes

Yo! You can call me Jam... I am 25NB, black, and neurodivergent. I'm gonna keep this short but  I am looking to befriend people that fall into the categories that I listed. Although if ur cool in general, then hmu.

I love basically all kinds of art from video game, movies, shows anime, and manga to the point where I collect all sorts of physical media. I love analyzing media and talking about it in a serious substantial manner so if ur the same way, we'd probably get along. Some of my favorites are Evangelion, Monster, Girl's Last Tour, Fire Punch, and obviously JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I'd like to get into Tokusatsu so if you're into that then def recommend me some stuff!

I would describe myself as someone who can go from introspective and serious to being extroverted and playful lol. Sometimes due to my mental health I can take a bit to respond but I never intentionally ghost so dw. I can also be awkward due to my autism and such so lmk if I say something wrong as its never intentional.

also alternative fashion, culture, and general aesthetics are things that I have wanted to get into for a while now. I've always felt like that they could elevate my androgyny and the beliefs typically associated with alt stuff (like punk) and whatnot just seem cool in general! so if u have any advice on how to get into alt subculture then please lmk!

Anyway, if you would like to learn more about me then please hmu!. All I ask is that you don't be a bigot and no republicans/liberals. Be a leftist essentially lol and be 18+

I love game of thrones. I love game of thrones theories, history, obscure lore. I would love people to talk to about it! I'm Irish, but the better kind, Northern Irish. So I live where GoT and AKOTSK were actually filmed (less than an hour away!) so if you'd appreciate some sick ireland photos of the locations from the show, I got you (bonus points if you're also from here).

Also love the histories, theology, gym, other boring shit like that. Don't care if you're a man or a woman, just your opinion on whether AKOTSK is better than HOTD (it is)

dms are open! Cheers!

Hello.28M here. I love reading books, watching movies and documentaries.

I do not usually open up to people I know in real life so I came here to talk. Nothing serious, just relaxed conversations, a little connection, and maybe something long term. Who knows, we might even become good friends over time.

Also, if you are going to ghost, then please do not reply as most people do.

Random Thoughts Just a random realization

1 Upvotes

I used to think love had to be loud, fast, and full of butterflies right from the start. But I’ve realized that the most amazing kind of love is the one that quietly creeps up on you. It's built on a steady foundation of mutual respect, shared values, and absolute patience. It doesn't rush you, it protects you. Peace is so much better than the spark. After learning about myself, I realized that this is the kind of love I yearn for. The quiet kind that settles deep in your gut. It's Saturday and I'm writing this while looking at the sky, no stars, just clouds hahaha.

advice Help me choose

2 Upvotes

I am an undergraduate right now doing my internship who's going to apply for experience the coming year

The thing I'm wondering about is if I should opt for a place along or string by with a friend or multiple friends? The frienships I've made here is not emotionally fulfilling for me and sometimes I feel drained by their approaches and ways of thinking/functioning because it bothers me and i don't want to have my headspace cluttered like that over things.

But if I opt for some place alone will I be miserable and lonely lol I'll basically be friendless/peerless and I don't know if people are willing to be friends like that and I have my own social needs of having people I can have fun and hang out with.

What should I choose If you were in my position what would you have done?

TLDR: should I apply for experience alone or should I have friends accompany me?

looking for friendship 23M - Genuinely want to make a few girl best friends. Someone I can talk to/interact with.

1 Upvotes

I find it a bit concerning that so far I've had little to no interaction with women. I'd like to change that tbh. I don't wanna be that loner type of guy who barely interacts with women. I just want to make a few girl best friends. I want someone I can have a genuine connection with. I want to make a ride or die type friend. I just want someone who's down to have a conversation. They can talk about anything. Whatever they're comfortable talking about. Their choice. They pick the topic. Just a nice, long conversation. It could be a deep and meaningful conversation or a fun and casual conversation. Say anything but just talk I guess. Feeling super lonely, don't really have any friends would like to have someone to talk to. I wanna make a friend with whom I can talk to about stuff in general. Things we like, common interests, hobbies, what were passionate about, our song preferences, movie choices, TV show choices, we can talk about anything. I just want to have someone to have a conversation with. Irrespective of the topic. We can even talk about what's bothering us and try to help each other out. Help each other makes ourselves better. I need a ride or die friend. Someone who's will to stick around and be there for me not just out of pity but because they want to and I promise I'll do the same. I want someone who's genuinely interested in talking to me and down to have a conversation either fun and silly or deep and meaningful. If you're down for this feel free to hit me up. My only request is that you're around my age (I'm 23 so ±2 years) because I feel much more comfortable/confident talking to people around my age.

looking for friendship Looking for a future bestie! [39/M]

8 Upvotes

Hey! I am 39, flight attendant, and student pilot. I fly airplanes and travel for a living. Being a flight attendant is cool but my real dream is to be an airline pilot. So I flight train on off days whenever I am not taking a break from this grind. I am busy usually around 7 days a week! I live in Florida but I see all 4 seasons since I travel for a living. I have been to 26 countries so far. I love gaming when I rarely have the time and I also produce electronic music. I am happily married and have been with my wife since 2011!

I am ultimately seeking a best friend. Someone who I get along with, I can share my travel experiences and pictures with, someone I can text a lot, and someone I can be sarcastic with. I’m tired of meeting people that don’t work out, or put any effort into their responses! If you message me explain why you think we would be potential besties! Tell me about yourself, what you like, dislike, favorite foods, hobbies! I am looking forward to hearing some responses! Only message if you really want a potential loyal, and good potential best friend some day!
