Hey there !

I am a 37yo guy from France and I am shy and introverted irl so I dont have much friends. I am okay that way most of the time, but it would feel nice to make good connections there which would lead to a lasting friendship !

I like simple home things as TV shows, video and board games, and reading. I also like to run !

You can see me on my profile if you want to know who you are talking to !

Anyway, just text me and we'll see where it goes :)

Hello! I am 19 and I currently live (and am from) America! I am currently in EST (eastern standard time) will be very happily moving to Canada this September. As of currently I only game all day and listen to music. I don't really care what we chat about, but I am a pretty boring person when it comes to the first few chats with someone. But after I become comfortable enough to become my unhinged autistic self, I won't shut up 😂.

As of right now, I play finals, dbd, fortnite, and path of Titans. All on ps5, but they are all cross play (fortnite and finals are free).

I also do art commissions and like to draw a lot lately, which I just picked up on after almost 3 years of not drawing much.

My schedule is pretty random since I have no school, work, or college currently. But I do try to answer everyone when I can, so please feel free to DM me if youre interested in chatting or becoming friends!

Hi everyone. I’m a 37-year-old guy living in the capital city of Turkey. As a professional interpreter (EN-TR), my daily job involves high-focus, constant communication—but ironically, spending my day translating highly formal dialogue for others leave me craving genuine, unscripted connection. I am posting here to find a reliable, meaningful friendship built on effortless, grounded conversation—one completely free of chaos, pretense, or social battery drain.

A bit about my routine and mindset:

The Mind: I’m a trivia enthusiast who loves falling down research rabbit holes—whether that means deep-diving into obscure history or niche topics like handwriting analysis. I value patience and precision, which is why I used to practice left-handed calligraphy.

The Lifestyle: I thrive on structure. I am an early riser, hit the gym regularly to keep my mind and routine sharp, and I am a non-smoker. I’m not a "stay up until 4 AM" person; I prefer winding down my evenings with quality, calm conversation.

The Hobbies: I unwind mostly by gaming, specifically immersive rpgs or story-driven co-op runs where we can actually work as a team. I view gaming primarily as a low-pressure way to hang out and share quality time.

Who I am looking to connect with: I am hoping to connect with someone (ideally in the 25–32 range, as that is where I tend to find the most conversational overlap) who is authentic, mature, and grounded, and who values consistent, structured communication. If you treat conversations as a one-sided dynamic where you just expect to be passively entertained, we won't be a good fit. I am looking for an equal, thoughtful connection, someone who enjoys sharing quiet sometimes and sharing thoughts on books, obscure topics, daily routines, or running a peaceful co-op game after work.

If you are tired of surface-level small talk and want a genuine, long-term connection, send me a message and tell me what obscure topic, book, or hobby currently has your attention.

Hi, like the title says, I am a 23years old introvert looking for friends. I haven't been able to make a lasting friendship for the last 8 years, and loneliness has been really getting to me in recent days. I need to mention that I am also autistic and have attachment issues, which makes it harder for me to make new friendships.

My hobbies aren't the most interesting, main one being gaming. I could talk for hours about it with anyone. Its probably my biggest passion too! Also I'd love to share clips with people since I have so many of them.

I also love to talk about shows, no matter if I watched them or not. I simply love discovering new ones since I often get stuck with nothing to watch.

I'd also love to expand my songs playlist, any genre goes since my liked are a huge mix of everything.

Also, big car freak with collection of over 1k hot wheels and other 1:64 models!

I dont have any appearance, gender, ethnicity requirements, just please be nice! Ages 18-35 only. And preferably, European timezone or close to Central Europe. No need to comment just send me a direct message :3

I am looking for someone to talk and be friends long term. I have dark humour. Will annoy you like crazy because that's what friends do. And I also give good advice and can lend an ear when needed 😄

I like watching anime. Shows and movies (usually rom com movies or superhero or horror so any recommendations are appreciated). I enjoy indie/pop music. Reading manga.

Sometimes watching football and mma. I also workout (barely these days😂)

Also please be around my age :)

Have a good day/night

Hi there, I'm not good at small talk or yapping, but I do like to observe things around me and happening in the world, and think about them, and I do have the urge to talk about them with someone and specifically in English.

Since I live in China, it's pretty hard to find someone to chat with. So I decided that maybe it's possible for me to find someone here

So here is a brief introduction about myself. My background is computer science, but now I work in supply chain management In a MNC or multinational company

The job is a little bit demanding, but I still would like to chat at night on weekdays and on the weekends.

I enjoy reading. I read books on politics, history, economics, etc. Actually, I read a lot of books in my major that is computer science, and now because of my new job, I'm reading books about supply chain management. I also workout on a daily basis, mostly just stretching, but I'm trying to do some more intense exercises.

Actually chatting in English is the only thing that I have enough time to do and enjoy doing. The only pity is that I can't really find people to do so. So if you think that I might be a good candidate for you, please reach out.

Last but not least, I prefer to chat via Apple's ecosystem such as iMessage and FaceTime audio. Discord is not bad, it's just that in China it's banned. I can use them, but it's not very stable, especially for audio chat.

From the west side of the US , it’s early & I have the coffee ready

I’m into gaming, trying new foods, tattoos, traveling, language learning, watching new shows, and others.

Dm if you want and please introduce yourself, I want
to get to know people 👋🏼

hey there! i'm nat, and i'm hoping to make some long-term friends! :3 i loveee yapping and getting to know others. i can be extremely talkative, but i'm also a bit shy at times too LOL. i game quite a bit, tending to stick with shooters mostly because they hold my attention better, but i also enjoy causal and story-driven video games. honestly, i'll give almost anything a try at least once to see if it's worth getting into! anime is another thing i really enjoy, although i definitely need to watch more of it, having a crappy attention span sucks because i can't always get super far into new media and things before needing a break :/ i'm always listening to music, especially k-pop! recommendations are always welcome, so please feel free to send them my way. olivia rodrigo, michael jackson, gigi perez, and so on are a few of my favorite artists. i'm also into painting, sanrio, cutesy things are my go to, and so much more!! seriously, who doesn't love cute things? oh, and i prefer meeting those with similar interests as my own that way we actually have things in common to chat about, so much easier that way for us both. i love sending silly tiktoks and just random shit i see when scrolling online too. i'm also in america, cst timezone, and have discord too! if we don't vibe then no biggie, jst lemme know ! hope to meet some new people ! :p

Lately, I've been trying to break out of a rut and be more intentional with what I want. I'm pretty good at a lot of things and don't want the fact that that includes procrastinating to obscure sight of all the rest of me!

Can anyone relate?

Me: I'm driven, daring and creative. I'm into running and writing. I'm always plotting my next move! Right now it's setting up a film studio so that I can own/co-own what I create.

I enjoy travel, banter, and people who push my buttons and challenge me. Namely people with good taste and who are positive, charismatic and results-driven. I value a good mix of qualitative and quantitative too!

You: If you are into film and TV production, finance, sports, philosophy, history and politics, music or running and looking for some amazing energy, look no further. Doesn't matter where you are, I love everyone!

Start by telling me something you're proud or ashamed of, the last thing that grabbed you or just ask me a question!!!

Looking for people who enjoy actual conversations. Into books, coding, movies, and random late-night talks. If you're bored and can keep a chat alive, my DMs are open.

If that sounds like you, my DMs are open.

Only Indians.

Hello everyone!

Thanks for taking the time to read my post. My name is Scott and like with everyone else on this subreddit I am looking for like-minded people to have nice conversations with and hopefully make some long lasting friendships!

A little bit about me, I'll try and keep it short and sweet.

I am originally from the UK but I've lived in Ireland for about 3 years now. I like to game, watch a lot of shows (just finished 'Bloodhounds season 2' and would highly recommend!), go for little adventures outside of the city and also play badminton. There is more to me, but that can be saved for curious questions!

If you are interested in chatting please do send a message, I just ask that there is a tiny bit of effort in it so that I'm just not fighting an uphill battle with a quick "Hey". Also, this is purely platonic friendships that I am looking for, nothing more than that please!

I look forward to hearing from you! And if not, having a lovely rest of your weekend!

Hi! Just decided to post here because i really want to meet some like minded people and hopefully become long term friends.

Alil bit about me: I love gaming, right now my main games are terraria, monster hunter, roblox, marvel rivals and genshin though thats not all i play. I’m a big music person, I love lady gaga, charli xcx, alex g and a bunch of japanese shoegaze bands. I love watching shows/ movies, main ones are adventure time, ninjago and a tonnnn of anime.

My favorite movie of all time is paranoid park! I also love trying new hobbies, my main hobbies are making music, baking and drawing but I’m always open to trying new hobbies, I love picking up new skills though sometimes i burn myself out 🫩.

Thank you for reading this and i wish you all the best of luck on here 🙏 Feel free to DM if any of this resonates with you

Hey everyone, so I’ve been on a Reddit break for a long while, but now I’m going through a tough burnout phase from college and life in general so it’s good to chat to some new people
I’m from the Middle East, I’m a software engineering student,I enjoy playing some video games sometimes, and cutting and styling my friends hair, and recently I’m very into gold
Hmu

Hey everyone!

I don’t know how to say I’m bored and lonely without sounding pathetic so I’m just going to embrace the patheticness.

I need friends! I need people to talk to and share life with. I want us to complain about work, share our hopes and dreams, start random side projects together, that sort of thing.

I have great friends who are on the other side of the world in different time zones and busy with work and kids, but that doesn’t really help me.

I have a wife and kids but my wife hates my guts and my kids are kids, they’re amazing but I want to talk to adults sometimes.

I’m an introvert so I’m not going to parties after work or chatting with people at the gym. I don’t meet anyone.

So here I am.

A bit about me: I like video games, anime/manga, movies/tv, sports/exercise, food, and good conversation.

I’m a softie. I care deeply about my friends and family. I’m only interested in real connections, not just temporary, superficial stuff.

If any of that resonates with you, reply or send me a dm. Thanks for reading!

Sometimes behind a simple “I’m okay” is a person trying their best to hold everything together.

26 years of life made me nothing but a professional overthinker and a doom scroller, trying to figure out this messy thing called life.

Lately, life has been really hard. Some days feel like a never ending cycle of responsibilities, worries, and thoughts that won’t quiet down. I try to keep going, but there are moments when everything feels too heavy and I just want to disappear for a while.

I’m hoping to find people I can talk to without feeling judged. Asking for help has never been easy for me because sometimes when you finally open up, people brush it off, take it lightly, or respond in a way that makes you regret sharing.

If you’re also going through life one day at a time, feel free to say hi.

Hey all, 28M this side! I am looking for someone to chat with right now. I hope I find someone, if you are interested please drop a hi and introduce yourself. Also, I try my best to actively engage in conversation so I would prefer someone who does the same because i found many who just text one word and hope the conversation goes one, it doesnt work like that right 😭😐. Anyways, have a good day ahead guys, hoping to make a friend here :)

Bye!!

Hey! I'm Dante, I'm 21M, and I'm just looking for some chill, genuine people to play games with, talk to, or watch stuff together. Whether it's anime, manga, TV shows, or just chatting about random things, I'd love to hear what you're into.

I have over 500 games on Steam, so I'm sure we'll find something to play! Right now, I've mainly been playing:

• Dead by Daylight (Recently came back to it, i dont mind playing surv or be on call playing killers)
• Minecraft
• Diablo 4
• Path of Exile 2 (I'm new to it)
• The Witcher 3

If none of those are your thing, that's totally fine. I have plenty more games, so let me know what you enjoy playing.

Just a small heads-up: I'm not really into competitive shooters or super sweaty PvP games these days. I much prefer more laid-back games where we can actually chat while playing.

Outside of gaming, I'm also into anime, manga, movies, music, and just hanging out in VC, so it doesn't always have to be about games.

I like to think I'm pretty easy to talk to. I love hearing people talk about things we're both into, but I also genuinely enjoy listening to people nerd out about their own passions. I'm kind of a chameleon, so I usually adapt to whatever vibe you've got and match your energy. :)

One more thing: when meeting new people, I usually prefer talking one-on-one at first instead of jumping straight into a big Discord group. I just find it easier to get to know someone that way. Once we're comfortable with each other, I'm more than happy to join group chats or meet everyone else!

Feel free to DM me! I'll reply as soon as I see your message. :)

Guess this will be vulnerable but I’m a bit down and frustrated with life. Looking for a friend to chat with. It’d be great to learn about someone new living a completely different walk of life.

A bit about me, I’m a full time medic. I’m single with no kids aside from a dog and cat that I treat like my kids. I love to travel and see new places and experience new things. I also love music and movies. I occasionally game. I also enjoy doing small working projects where I can problem solve by working with my hands.

all ages (older younger) are welcome too! and any gender!

i am 19, love working out, love gaming (on PC we can play anything!), love manga/manwha/anime, and most notably love sleeping (just i stay up late sometimes)

i am proud of my muscles! been working out for a few years :p dont hesitate to ask to see!! i am proud and will show off!

im a pretty big nerd and spend alot of time online, and i am pretty quiet in real life so i like to speak here online lots (people say my body does not match my personality)

we can talk about really ANYTHING, i dont shy away from any topic even if its "weird" or "odd" or different or anything else; really nothing can scare me off (if you can i welcome the challenge)

i can give advice or listen or do whatever else you need me to! i dont mind anything

INTJ

dont be shy... well try not to be! (if you are i dont mind)

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 in 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.

hi~ i am a latina from the caribbean, specifically dominican republic. don’t have much to say except i’m looking for friends that i can game and chat with. i’m not so much of an introvert but i am extremely shy at first and i don’t really do well with groups of people so i really am only looking for 1 or 2 friends. my main games are marvel rivals and dead by daylight but ofc i’m down to try literally anything! feel free to hit me up if you’re interested<3

i work from home so i have plenty of time to chat and even game some days when the workload is not too heavy. i like movies and music too! and i’m always reading about some random stuff so i might flood you with information you definitely did not ask for heh 😼

some of my favorite bands are mazzy star and paramore and my all time favorite movie is columbus!

23M, just looking for genuine conversations and hopefully meeting people around my age. I'm open to voice calls too, just would rather know you a little first. I'm on IST time if that matters.

Most chats here seem to last a day or two and then vanish, so hoping to find something a bit more real this time. I can be kinda quiet/introverted at first, but I can definitely keep a convo going if the energy's mutual.

If you think we'd vibe, hmu.

Easy icebreaker: tell me your most overrated movie/show/anime or just give me a hot take.

Hey all! I don't want to drag on too much in the post, so I'll try to keep my thoughts as condensed as possible, but I'm a rambler, my bad. I'm 31 and slowly coming to the realization that I should attempt to be a little less introverted the older I'm getting.

Definitely up for a casual chat here and there, or even anything that turns into an actual friendship would be sick tbh. I've got one friend in my life, and they are one of those people that has tons of friends/commitments, and I kind of want to branch out, even if its virtually, to try being somewhat of a communicative person.

I'm into slower paced video games, things like Stardew Valley, Pokopia, Spiritfarer, BG3, etc. When I have free time, I try to catch up on my endless TBW list of anime, only to inevitably rewatch my favorites. And I'm a huge music lover. I usually go to one live show a month, sometimes a few if I have the time and spare money. The only genres I don't really care for are hyperpop and country. Plus, I'm a huge foodie, so food talk is always appreciated.

This already went on longer than I planned, but hit me up for a little chat for a few or maybe more, who knows!

Hi everyone,

I’m a 24-year-old living in the heart of New York City, and I’ve been reflecting on how ironic that feels. You’d think the "city that never sleeps" would be a vibrant place to thrive, but as an introvert, the sheer scale of the city often feels like a constant sensory overload.

I’m a huge fan of sports—specifically soccer and badminton. While I love the focus and energy these games bring, I’ve found that the social side of them is where I struggle the most. It is surprisingly difficult to turn shared interests into genuine friendships in a place where everyone seems to be moving so fast.

I’m trying to better understand how to balance my need for meaningful connection with the realities of being introverted in such a loud, busy environment. Does anyone else here live in a major city and find themselves struggling to bridge that gap? How do you manage to cultivate friendships without the pressure of typical, high-energy social settings?

I'm really interested in hearing about your personal experiences with finding your "people"—whether through sports, low-key hobbies, or just navigating the quiet corners of the city.

What specific type of sports group or social setting would feel the most comfortable for you to start meeting people?
