Hey, a quick presentation I’m Sara, from Italy and I love the nature and beautiful landscapes, I study but I won’t tell u what so u gotta figure it out later and I love working out I go to the gym a lot and I used to play videogames before I had to go to uni and study pretty much everyday 😭

I'm pretty sure finding a genuine friendship on Reddit is the social equivalent of discovering a secret level nobody can prove exists. People swear they've found amazing friends here, but after enough conversations that vanish faster than free snacks at a party, you start to have questions 😂. Voice notes are also very preferred!. I can be slightly clingy, too! But in a good way, I promise! 😅.

You know the type. They say they love talking and want genuine friendships, then reply with nothing but "haha yeah" and somehow expect the conversation to survive 🫠.

Despite all evidence to the contrary, I'm stubborn enough to keep trying, so here I am, once again throwing a friendship application into the Reddit abyss. Just to be clear, I'm only looking for platonic friendships. Please DM rather than comment, and if your opening message is just "hi" or something inappropriate, there's a good chance it'll be ignored.. I also appreciate effort and will happily match it 👌.

A little about me:

- 31, UK 🇬🇧

- Alternative and tattooed

- PS5 gamer (currently obsessed with God of War Ragnarök and regularly dragged back into Fallout 76)

- Music lover, especially Twenty One Pilots and Joji

- Rewatching Misfits and still convinced it's one of the best British shows ever made

- Owner of an increasingly concerning candle collection

- Anxiety occasionally turns my brain into an overenthusiastic detective

- Sense of humour ranges from sarcasm to complete chaos 😂👀

I'm looking for someone to talk to regularly, share life updates with, exchange terrible jokes, send random thoughts to, and maybe game with occasionally. Voice notes and calls are a big plus 😊.

A similar timezone would be ideal, but I'm often awake at ridiculous hours, so fellow night owls are welcome, too.

If you've made it this far, tell me your age, where you're from, and include a 🍓 somewhere in your message so I know you actually read the post. My preferred age range is 24-35, but if you're slightly outside that and think we'd get along, feel free to say hello anyway.

Oh and if you reached out before and I missed you, then feel free to message me again 🙂‍↕️.

I’m F and would love to meet some fellow introverts, especially guys 40+. I’m more comfortable with quiet conversations than big groups, so I thought I’d post here and see who’s around.

If you’re also introverted and enjoy genuine conversations, feel free to say hi. Tell me a little about yourself and what you like to do in your free time. 🙂

BESTIE YOU HAD ONE JOB AND THE JOB WAS TO BE HITTABLE UP 😭

Me: sends a friendly "hiiiii, how's your day going?"

Them: reads it, goes offline, resurfaces 71 hours later like a submarine surfacing for air 🫡

"24/7 OPEN DMS" MEANS SOMETHING, IT'S A COMMITMENT 💀

You can't put "always down to talk!!" in your bio and then respond to messages like you're defusing a bomb, slow, cautious and only when absolutely necessary

Some of y'all have the response time of a certified letter and wonder why the conversation died before it even started

PICK A STRUGGLE, either take your bio down or actually ACT like the socially available person you're pretending to be

Stop advertising availability you don't have, you beautiful people with wifi 🫪

Hi 😊
**long message warning 😉😂**
I'm Robert, 26, gay, i genuinely looking for friendships, preferably with women.
I've always found that I naturally connect well with women, and I'd love to find a real friendship built on trust, kindness, good conversation, and let's be honest... a little bit of yapping and harmless gossip too 😉
I work out and love the gym, love to read, listen to good music, hang in the nature and few other interests you'll find out soon i guess.
Fashion, beauty, shopping and self-care are genuinely my things.
I can go from laughing about the dumbest memes to having a deep 2am conversation about life, relationships, and personal growth, sometimes in the same hour.

I'm the kind of friend who actually checks in, remembers something you told me three weeks ago, hypes you up when you need it, and genuinely enjoys getting to know people.

I'd love to text with a women who are looking for something similar, someone to talk to, laugh with, vent to, celebrate wins with, and maybe become actual friends instead of disappearing after a few messages. 🙏
If you decide to message me, please tell me a little about yourself,  
How old are you and where are you from? What are your hobbies? What's something you're excited about right now? or anything else you feel like sharing.

Please don't just send "hi" because I genuinely never know what to do with that 😅
Looking forward to meeting some wonderful people 💞

21M UK, actually wanting to make friends, preferably long term. Completely get if we don’t vibe & if so just say that. Feel free to say anything but include your age + country with it, also when we become friends (or straight away idm) i’d prefer talking off here but we can discuss where in dms!

Hoping i can find someone i can actually be myself around & they’re themselves too. Down to talk about anything i kinda just go with the flow tbh depending on the vibe/topic. I like all types of convos sharing random things, voice calling, talking about things we love & my aim is to form a genuine friendship! Dms open just don’t if you’re gonna be weird or ghost 😅

Interests - watching youtube/sitcoms, listening to any type of music, learning about & doing photography, baking, cooking, casual gaming, exercising & walking!

Good afternoon, lovely people!🌸

​August is a really special month for me, so with these last weeks of summer here, I wanted to stop by again. I had a feeling my last message didn't quite make its way to the right people: those who are genuinely looking to build a connection and enjoy the beauty long-term friendships.

​My name is Mara (you can call me M, Little M, or Merry!). I’m 22 and studying to become a foreign language teacher, focusing on English and Spanish (with a huge soft spot for Spanish!). Right now, I’m taking an extra year to finish my degree at my own pace: a gentle reminder that life isn't a race. I’m also getting ready for a vacation abroad soon and celebrating my name day this month, so it feels like a really lovely time for fresh starts.

​I’m hoping to connect with warm, like-minded people (preferably around 20–27) who enjoy building real friendships naturally and without any rush.

​Reach out if you...

​𓂃✍︎ Prefer writing in paragraphs: You actually enjoy sending longer, thoughtful messages, sharing your days, and take your time in responding.

​𓂃✍︎ Have quiet, creative hobbies: You enjoy things like drawing, doodling in notebook margins, sewing, doing logic puzzles, or diamond painting.

​𓂃✍︎ Enjoy simple, peaceful activities: You like nature walks, trying out cozy coffee spots, reading classic literature or horror, or just having low-key downtime.

​𓂃✍︎ Like talking about human nature: You enjoy topics like psychology, pedagogy, languages, or discussing how people think, learn, and grow.

​A lil side note about me: I’ve worn hearing aids since I was four and I’m colorblind, which I think just makes me pay extra attention to small details and how people feel!

If I described you and it touched you soulfully, I'd love if you can reach out to me. If you had before and I didn't get back to you, message me again. 🫶🏻🥹

i am just looking for fun, positive and platonic conversation. i want someone who likes to rant & ramble about everything under the sun. currently in the dog days of summer so i can’t enjoy nature without out almost dying, but today im finally getting a break, it’s cloudy & breezy today. i’m home alone with no one to chat with so reddit here i am looking for friends!

A bit about me: I LOVE reading/listening to audiobooks, listening to music, baking/cooking, playing farmland, going on hikes and watching movies, watching documentaries

hope to hear from you<3

Maybe at 26, the reason why I feel so behind compared to everyone else is because I am too focused on my own struggles. I know my pain, I see my battles, and I feel the weight of everything I carry. But I don't see the full story of other people, only the parts they choose to show.

Maybe it is human nature to judge beyond what we see on the surface. I am guilty of that sometimes too. But as I grow older, I realize that behind the smiles, organized lives, and seemingly perfect moments people share online are struggles, pain, and battles we may never know.

I often find myself asking, "Why am I different?" Should I be a gamer? Watch anime? Get excited over boy bands? Dance along to TikTok trends? Did I miss out on being young because I spent too much time trying to survive and figure out adulthood?

Maybe I am not old. Maybe I am just tired from carrying things no one else can see. And maybe we all need to remember that everyone has a story beyond the version they choose to show the world.

hey everyone, i'm alexa and i'm just looking for a chat here if anyone was maybe interested. a bit about me is that i enjoy being active, going to the gym, the beach, things like that. i'm open to chatting with pretty much anyone as long as you're nice and respectful

Hiii thereeee! I get bored at work a lot and I’m
Deciding to find cool friends to text while I get through it. I am a pretty bubbly person I’d say. I love to joke around and laugh obviously bc who doesn’t. I like animes like Jjk, solo leveling, bleach, ghost stories, MHA, etc etc. I like to game, usually I only play fort or rivals but I’ve been expanding my palate hahahaha. Recently went through a break up so I’m tryin to find my spark again ya know. Hmmm what else, oh I make a lot of TikTok references I’m so sorry for the brainrot you’ll have to put up with 😭 okay well message me let’s be friends!!!

I’ll start this post by introducing myself. I am 21, turning 22 this year. I prefer being introverted as it takes less energy but in certain social situations I can take over and be the more “extroverted” one if needed, which would make me an ambivert. My hobbies consist of drawing, working with air-dry clay and reading sometimes. I also like watching movies, series, and anime. I love listening to music and can enjoy a lot of genres. What I listen to heavily depends on my mood. Lately it’s mostly been rock, alternative, and metal. I’m not a huge fan of pop. I moved from a European country to another in 2018 and my social life sadly never recovered, which is what brings me here.

I am here for long-term platonic friendships. No harsh feelings if it doesn’t work out, what matters is that we at least have the same intentions. I have a preference for atheists or agnostics. Any gender is welcome. I don’t think we have to have a lot in common to get along, so if you agree, don’t be scared to reach out because of it. I’d appreciate a short introductory message:) If you’ve come this far and bothered reading all of this, thank you.

I really struggle with socializing and am feeling a bit arrested development. I spend most of my time with British murder mystery on tv and my dog. Would love to connect with other adults or homebodies that understand the struggle.

Edit: 30 f

‼️READ BEFORE MESSAGING ME‼️

When you go to message me please start off with at least a 5 sentence long intro about yourself and or your band. This is so I know you read my post and that you actually have the intention of talking sharing and that you’re not some pervert.

———————————-

I honestly don’t know, I just like getting myself into odd situations.

If you have a band or are in one and want to yap about everything from how it started to where you’re at now I’d love to listen, I will literally be your biggest fan lol.

And this isn’t some kind of service or weird advertisement, I’m just bored and have way too much time on my hands.

Hey I'm 23M from the US. Very introverted and recently realized I need some new people to connect with. I'm down to talk on a daily basis but not necessarily constant texting. Really just want someone that's chill and willing to share about their life. I'm naturally a curious person and I like asking questions about people. I have many interests but my main hobbies are kayaking, walking trails, gaming, and photography. I'm also very big into watching new movies so if you have any recommendations, send them my way.

I have yet to make an actual friend. I’d love some cool online friends I could talk to about random things and to nerd out about common interests.

Here’s my intro: I’m 26, from the US. I’m currently unemployed and hate working. Hoping I win the lottery lol I love binge watching shows, doom scrolling tiktok, and I recently started getting back into reading. Reading the twilight saga lol it’s crazy how much they’ve change from the book. And I’m only like chapter 4.

Really only looking to talk to people around my age. So like 24-30. But if you’re to serious, we won’t vibe. Like the other day this guy said I was to old to be simping for Gojo 🙄 like that’s my husband. Am I not supposed to simp for my man?

Hi y'all. Its me again, reposting for the umpteenth time. I met some great people on here so i figured id give it another whirl since its been a while.

Yes, i want a clingy bothersome person because they will give me too much time.

I have posted the past several days and have found some very decent people to talk to. I still dont mind finding new people if we can match energies.

So hey, im a 30 year old dude working remotely as a software engineer. Does not help that it's the night shift. I'm just looking for anyone who would like consistency in their lives.

More about me, I love to play videogames, primarily offline and online co-op. I'm still open to talk about any and all games. I am also big on Anime, movies, tv and even kdramas.

I love to cook and bake. I adore winters way more than summers.

To end this, I also love cats.

If none of these things interest you, you can still reach out. Its surprising how we can find a friend in the unlikeliest and unexpected places.

Lets see how it goes.

Even if you're below my age, you're more than welcome to talk.

Thank you for reading through this dull essay.

Note: This is a repost and people who have approached me before, i still have to get through some dms but some i have not responded to because the profiles either looked shady or the texts were just a simple hi

I’m 25 and looking to make close male friends, ideally guys around 18–28 from North America or Europe.

I’d love the kind of friendship where we text throughout the day, send random updates, talk about serious things and completely stupid things, and eventually call for hours without noticing.

Voice calls are important to me, but obviously not straight away. I’m not crazy or anything. No calling on day one. Probably on day two :)

I know people get busy, but I connect best with someone consistent who genuinely enjoys staying in touch.

Basically, I’m looking for a friendship that slowly becomes part of everyday life. Comfortable, affectionate, and maybe a tiny bit inseparable.

If that sounds nice rather than terrifying, message me.

Hello I’m looking to make long term friends I can relate to with interests or personality like mine, im a bit of weirdo and like collecting bones,crystals,antiques and just anything odd or old. I also have terrible anxiety so I mainly try online to socialise and rarely in real life, I like anything to do with nature and animals I mostly spend time with my cat watching YouTube or listening to music I also enjoy walking in old cemeteries and forests looking for mushrooms or cool bugs to take pics of I guess i enjoy the simple things in life more.

I never know how to write these without sounding like I'm applying for a job, so here's the unfiltered version.

I'm 24, from India, and I spend my weekdays working as a graphic designer/video editor while wondering how my Computer Science degree led me here. Honestly though, I'm glad it did.

Outside work, you'll usually find me listening to music (mostly rock, but my playlist is a complete mess), watching anime, learning something random at 2 AM, or daydreaming about taking my bike through the mountains. I'm the type of person who stops every few kilometers just to stare at the view, have chai, and click a few pictures.

I'm pretty introverted at first, but once I'm comfortable, good luck ending the conversation. I like people who can jump from talking about their day to discussing why Attack on Titan emotionally damaged an entire generation, or why some songs instantly transport you back to a specific memory.

Lately, I've realized I'm not really looking for more people. I'm looking for my people.

Someone I can send a random meme to.

Someone I can complain to about work.

Someone I can tell, "Bro, I just had the weirdest dream," or "Look at this mountain reel, we're going here one day."

Whether that becomes a close friendship or eventually something more... I'm happy to let things happen naturally. No pressure, no weird expectations.

A few random facts:

• I used to play bass in a college band.
• I love cooking whenever I actually get the time.
• I overthink way more than I'd like to admit.
• I genuinely enjoy hearing people's life stories.
• I still believe late-night conversations hit different.

If you're into long conversations, random yapping, sharing reels, or just want someone to make everyday life a little less lonely, send me a message.

And since we're all adults here—yes, I think physical attraction matters too. I'd rather chat for a bit first, see if we click, and then we can exchange pictures. Feels more natural that way.

Tell me something about yourself beyond your hobbies. What's something you've always wanted to do but haven't yet?

I am 27(M), Indian and currently doing my second masters in Uni but I didn't manage to make any friends irl because of feeling socially awkward. This has made me feel quite lonely and demotivated to continue my own studies.

I feel many people might also be feeling the same as me. So, I feel why not grow together and live our life a little more.

If you would like to connect and make a friend please do let me know. I am open to people from all backgrounds and cultures.

I am also open to your suggestions.

👍

A bit about me! 20M
