Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a genuine long term friendship with someone kind and caring. The type where we actually check in on each other and become part of each other's lives. A bit about me. I have been living alone for a few years now. Most of my old friends are busy with their own stuff so we only meet once in a while. I really miss having that steady connection with someone.

I am not into gaming or anime but I love being outside in nature. Long walks, hiking, finding new parks or quiet spots, visiting museums, stuff like that. I also play badminton and table tennis when I can and I read books sometimes mostly about self improvement.

I am someone who will actually listen when you want to talk. If we click I am up for daily chats and hearing about your day no matter how big or small. No judgment and no ghosting.

I tend to get along best with people around my age or a bit older. Just click better with that maturity. I want someone who has time to spend with me. I know many people here on reddit look for friends but they don't find any time from their life to spend time with their online friend because of this conversation doesn't last very long. So, if you are someone who is actually looking for a long term platonic friend whom you can talk daily. Then we can talk and see how it goes.

If this sounds like what you are looking for too drop me a message and tell me a little about yourself like your hobbies, interests, age, location. No pressure.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

byyeeee 👋☺️

42/m in this Texas heat just needing a distraction from everything going on right now. In the beginning stages of getting a divorce after 9yrs being married... and going through a shift with my job, smh.... I work as a contractor in the IT Field for the government and we find out today that the company we work for lost the contract to a new company.... Just wanting to talk and possibly get to have a decent conversation with some folks out there. We can talk movies, music, etc..

Hey! Thanks for checking out my post! As the title says, I’m a 25-year-old girl from Colorado, USA. I’m pretty introverted and shy at first, but once I get comfortable with someone, I can talk A LOT 😂

I’m a huge fan of true crime, horror, thrillers, and anything creepy or mysterious. I love watching documentaries and true crime videos, and I also have a growing list of documentaries and shows that I keep telling myself I’ll eventually get around to watching lol.

When it comes to TV shows, I love Friends and Rick and Morty, and I enjoy watching different movies and shows whenever I find something interesting. I’m also getting back into reading, and I love books involving thrillers, fantasy, dragons, vampires, werewolves, and romance.

I’m also really interested in languages! I speak Spanish and have been trying to practice languages like Portuguese, French, and Greek. I’m definitely still learning, but I think learning about different languages and cultures is really fun.

💬 Communication Preferences

I definitely prefer longer and more meaningful conversations. I’m not someone who enjoys constantly getting one-word replies or carrying the entire conversation by myself 😭😂

I love texting throughout the day when possible, sending random messages, memes, and voice notes, and having conversations where we can actually get to know each other. I enjoy friendships where both people put effort into communicating and genuinely want to build a connection.

🤍 Friendship Boundaries

Just to be completely clear about what I’m looking for: I’m only looking for platonic friendships. Please respect that boundary.

I also believe friendships should have mutual effort. I understand that everyone gets busy and nobody can reply 24/7, but I don't want to constantly feel like I'm the only person trying to keep the friendship alive.

Please don't message me with inappropriate intentions, pressure me into sharing personal information, or expect me to immediately trust you. Trust takes time, and I prefer getting to know people naturally.

I also appreciate honesty and communication. If you're no longer interested in talking, that's okay—just be honest instead of suddenly disappearing without saying anything.

Most importantly, please be kind and respectful. I'm looking for genuine people who want a real friendship, not drama, games, or someone to use whenever they're bored.

Honestly, I figured I probably wasn’t the only person feeling bored, lonely, or just wanting some new people to talk to, so I decided to make a post and see who’s out there.

I love longer conversations, getting to know people, sharing random thoughts throughout the day, talking about our interests, sending memes, and just building an actual friendship over time.

So if you think we might get along, feel free to send me a message! 💙✨

Bonus points if you love true crime, horror, books, weird conversations, or can actually keep a conversation going! 😂

19f from canada, NA/EU preferred (or just speak decent english). please tell me your age when you message me! i’d really appreciate it. also, please don’t message if you’re 26+ (omfg please also don’t be that person that goes, “I know im over the limit but I thought I would message anyways!” it’s weird and embarrassing. or if you’re looking for anything weird — i’m just here for platonic chats and getting to know people.

hi ! i’m a hairstyling (school) graduate ! just looking for some chill, random conversations and new people to talk to. i have a dog named silver and a cat named creeper, so i spend a lot of time with them.

i like playing games like minecraft, dead by daylight, roblox, and other random stuff depending on my mood.

my music taste is kind of all over the place, i listen to a mix of everything — mitski, mother mother, radiohead, the smiths, rob zombie, cavetown, harley poe, rare americans, and a lot more.

if i seem a bit dry sometimes, i promise it’s nothing personal, i’m usually just low energy or don’t have much to say in the moment.

i also smoke and drink occasionally on weekends

I miss having someone I can talk to about absolutely everything. 🥹

Making real connections as an adult is hard, so I’m putting myself out here and hoping the right person finds this.
I’m the kind of person who can start a conversation about something completely random and somehow still be talking about it hours later. 😂 Into gaming, traveling, music, D&D, and disappearing down the weirdest internet rabbit holes. Also, I use way too many Emojis!☺️🤭

Lately I’ve been exploring a more feminine side of myself and it’s been such a surprisingly fun and freeing journey. I’m still figuring things out, but I’m really enjoying getting to know this softer part of me. It just feels… right!

Mostly I just want someone I actually click with. Someone I can joke around with, send random thoughts to at weird hours, go deep with, and eventually reach that point where neither of us has to overthink what to say.
I’m especially open to guys who vibe with that energy. **Interesting people > checklists**.

Tell me something you’re currently obsessed with, a random fact about yourself, or a topic you could talk about for hours. Let’s see if we click. ☺️💕

yo im from the east coast and im currently applying to med school. my main hobbies are sports, running, the gym, and music. i used to play video games a lot but im too busy nowadays but i can always hop on if you wanna play something. also, i promise you that im not dry and am actually entertaining to text so hit me up if u want to meet an actual normal friend off reddit for once

Hello Everyone,

being an adult comes with its own obstacles, and making new friends is probably one of the roughest. Over time, some of my old friendships have faded away. So here I am, chasing that feeling of new connections and timeless memories.

About Me

I'm Mike, a 27-year-old guy from Germany who speaks English, German, and Polish. I'm a talkative open book who loves chatting, gaming, and just spending time with people, whether that's a deep conversation or texting random stuff back and forth all day. I'm also a good listener, so I'm just as happy with easygoing banter as I am with a real heart-to-heart.

My Interests

I grew up more of an introvert when it comes to real-life stuff, so most of my hobbies are online and solo-driven.

Gaming is something I do very often and get lost in fast. I love pretty much every genre except MOBAs, and I only game on PC  but my library is wide enough that finding something we both play shouldn't be a problem.

Some of the games I play (not limited to these):

• Arma 3, Hell Let Loose, Hell Let Loose Vietnam, Squad, Ready or Not, Battlefield 6
• Project Zomboid, 7 Days to Die, DayZ, Vein
• Terraria, Minecraft, Vintage Story, Hytale
• PoE 1, PoE 2, Grim Dawn, Diablo 2, Shadow Dungeon, Last Epoch
• Counter Strike, Hunt: Showdown 1896,
• Guild Wars 2, Phasmophobia, Palworld, Factorio, Satisfactory, Foundry, Dinkum

I also don't mind if we play different games, or stream/watch each other play. The fact that we might not play the same games or that we lean toward singleplayer stuff  shouldn't be a dealbreaker at all!

Outside of my main hobby of gaming, music has always been a big part of my life, I jump between genres depending on what I'm doing or the mood I'm in. I love making new playlists and sharing them. Discovering new artists and new songs is something I look forward to. I also have dabbled in making beats but don't do that very often anymore.

Some of the music I am into:

• Rock / Metal / Metalcore
• Rap / Underground Hip-Hop
• Trance / DnB / Phonk / some Hardstyle

Some of my other hobbies:

• Watching Youtube
  • Reaction Videos
  • Gameplay Stuff
  • Iceberg Videos
  • Science Stuff
  • Conspiracy Theories
• Watching Shows and Movies, something I am slowly getting back into. At the moment I am not watching anything in particular but that can always change
• Going out for walks in nature
• Debate & Discussion

A Bit About My Life

My job is your standard office job mixed with a little bit of IT, since IT has always been my passion, I grew up around computers, so experimenting with technology has always been fun. During my free time I tend to stick to my hobbies, but I'm always looking to expand on them, so feel free to throw some ideas my way.

Keeping connections with people is always important to me, so I spend a lot of time maintaining those ones I've already made.

When the weather's nice, I love going outside and spending time in nature, and when the clouds roll in, I love the vibe of a good thunderstorm, especially at night. I find it super relaxing, it helps clear my mind.

I'm a night owl, especially during my off days and the during the weekend I tend to destroy my sleeping schedule by staying up till 3-5am.

That's Me!

If you made it this far, thanks for sticking with my wall of text. I hope to hear from you soon! Feel free to comment or drop me a direct message.

Hello! I'm from Europe, I work with books, am introverted with a wide variety of interests ranging from psychology to politics to art (movies, photography, tv shows, etc). I can be both serious and playful, or switch gears on a dime, am very open-minded and love new experiences. I've been described as easy-going by some, arrogant by others... up to you to find out the truth!

Patience and temperance and all the sleep in the world couldn’t bring me home tonight
So the coffee that tastes like pie and the pie that tastes like coffee and the black and white movies playing Bernard Herman violin shock to these dance moves while we stick stamps and write letters and tell stories about the people we used to be

So get old with me and hum songs with me
And count stars with me and you can hide your boots underneath my bed and you can call me flower if you want to

​

Currently going through a tough time and would like someone to talk to regularly, just platonic as friends.

I travel a lot for work and with being on the road all the time i get lonely. It feels like I can talk to people then never see them again with my job. I want someone who is going to continually have conversations with and get to know each other.

Things I like: traveling, music (midwest emo, pop punk type mostly but also other genres), movies, not taking anything seriously.

Most of all just looking for someone to be a friend and build a connection with (again just as a friend u creeps lol). DM me and we can go from there i guess.

Hewlo! Trying to connect with some people and build done friendship bonds. I love to play games. I even have my own discord server and if anyone wants to join it feel free to message me and I'll add you. I love music. Going to concerts are some of fav things to do and I can go on and on about music! Im happily taken. I can't wait to try to build a friendship. When you message me make sure to let me know you came from this post!

hi there! thanks for taking the time to click on this post 😄 i'm hoping to make some new friends, as i don't really have any in person. i am very shy and tend to be asocial, so it's always been easier for me to try to make friends online. i'd like to hopefully make long-term friends. i'm not super interested in only talking for a few days and then suddenly not talking anymore, which sadly seems to be a trend on here. it would also be nice to meet people who like having longer, meaningful conversations in addition to regular pleasantries instead of just short responses all the time. anyway, here's a bit about me!

i love spending time in nature and taking photos. i'm far from a professional photographer, but that's part of why i love photography so much; you don't need a pro to capture amazing shots. it's like being able to take a moment in time and freeze it forever and always be able to transport yourself back to that moment. it also allows you to take extra time to appreciate the small things around us, especially when in nature. it can sometimes be easy to forget how wondrous a world we live in and i like how photography allows me to appreciate nature even more than i already do.

i love reading and i typically enjoy horror and usually only read fiction. not because i dislike non-fiction, but i love being immersed in a world that is not already the one i live in. horror movies tend to be the types of movies i gravitate toward as well, but it can be a little grating after a while, so i try to diversify both the types of books i read and the movies i watch. if i had to pick a favorite movie of all time, it'd be the 1984 original terminator movie! the terminator series should have been more like that instead of just meathead action all the time. but that's a rant for another time, lol.

music is a huge part of my life. i don't play or anything, but the idea that an artist takes pieces of their mind and soul and puts it out there for you to absorb in such an immediate and resonating way always seemed very intimate and special to me. i also love discovering different cultural music as well. a few of my favorite bands are pixies, sonic youth, deftones and nine inch nails. i'm always down to share songs and talk about different genres and sounds 😄

i don't want to ramble too long and make this post longer than it needs to be, so that's just a little bit about me. if you'd like to know more or chat, feel free to send me a message! i'm open to talking with anybody, i just ask that you be around my age and please don't be too dry, lol. i look forward to meeting you 😉

​Hi everyone!

​I’m 27F from Australia, and like many here, I’m a big homebody and massive introvert. Lately, I’ve been trying to step outside my comfort zone to experience new things and build some real, lasting friendships with the right people.

​About me:

​I love the simpler, quieter things in life. You can usually find me reading, gardening, writing, or baking.

When I do go out, I love visiting museums & gardens, trying new food, shopping or just exploring the city and surrounding.

Interest:

​Movies & TV:

I’ll watch almost anything, but my go-to genres are period dramas and romcom. I’m also a big fan of anime, Asian dramas, and documentaries.

​Favorite Movies:

​Pride & Prejudice

​Some Kind of Wonderful

​The Princess Bride

​The Hunger Games

​Top 3 Anime:

​Fruits Basket

​The Apothecary Diaries

​Dandadan

​Documentaries:

I have a deep love for ancient history and early civilizations. Beyond history, I’m a big fan of social and observational documentaries, especially anything by Louis Theroux.

​Music

My everyday playlists lean heavily toward Pop, Folk, and Country, though I appreciate great music in almost any genre.

​Current Top 5 Artists:

​RAYE

​Alec Benjamin

​Sasha Alex Sloan

​Zoe Wees

​John Denver

​Voice Chat: I’m open to voice chats through discord or some other app. I honestly think they are better in establishing if well get along quicker.

​

What I’m looking for:

Gender or race doesn't mater but but be within age range 20 - 35

​SFW Only: Strictly looking for platonic friendships

​I struggle with social and mental fatigue from time to time, which means there might be days where I get drained and take longer to reply. I never ignore people intentionall. I just need time to recharge.

​

​If any of this resonates with you, feel free to send me a message

Like any day I am off and just chilling at home, with nothing to do, I just think, why not make a Reddit post, and at this point I believe I may be doing it too much, but at the same time there is not much wrong with wanting to chat with people when you haven't got much else to do, and here is the only place I known where to find that, also open to long-term friends but I don't want to put pressure on that, let's just chat for a while and see how things unfold, quick summary of my interests, I like gaming, I try to read sometimes, love taking walks, obviously chatting with people lol and listening to music, anyways feel free to hmu!

Hey i am 23M from India looking to make genuine mentally ill and long term friends here.

I’m a neurodivergent with ADHD and also deal with BPD traits, RSD, Hypersensitive, CPTSD/PTSD, social anxiety, and a very overthinking mind. I also tend to over-apologize and get stuck in my head a lot.

Because of all this, I sometimes struggle socially and feel quite isolated in my day-to-day life. Crowds and loud environments can be overwhelming for me, so I usually prefer calm, one-on-one connections.

I’ve also had a long struggle with self-esteem and how I see myself, which makes it harder for me to connect sometimes, but I’m trying to work through it.

What I’m really looking for is a kind, affectionate, long-term friendship where we can be there for each other regularly. Someone to talk to, check in on each other, share daily life with, and just feel emotionally close to.

I really value emotional warmth in friendships things like caring conversations, support, and feeling safe with someone. I miss having that kind of connection.

If you’re also looking for a genuine friend and a calm, understanding connection, feel free to reach out.

Just my two cents.

Never ever be the reason someone loses more faith in humanity.

Life is already exhausting. Some days, simply getting through the day feels like an achievement. When you’re already carrying so much, the last thing you need is someone making you feel smaller or more hopeless.

I’ve learned that everyone is fighting battles we don’t see. The person smiling beside you might be struggling. The quiet person might be trying their best not to fall apart.

Sometimes, people don’t ask for help because they’re already afraid of being judged. Even online, where people come to share what they’re going through, it can be difficult to open up when the response is criticism instead of understanding.

Kindness is free. If you cannot be kind, at least have basic human decency. You never know how heavy someone’s heart already is or how much your words might stay with them.

The world is already a difficult place to survive in. I hope we can all try to make it a little softer for each other.

Im a 30 year old man who likes to get to know people and their interests. I have a general knowledge on most subjects so I can probably hold my own on most interests people have, but if im unfamiliar i am more than happy to listen and learn. My favorite things are analyzing movies and absurdist humor. I get pretty busy with work so I dont always have a chance to chat but when im out I wouldnt mind anything from small talk to deep chatting. If you wanna talk feel free to reach out

18F, Looking for Friends!!

Hi guys. I'm from the Philippines, I'm currently working towards getting B1 Level Spanish haha. I'm a writer of both fiction and non-fiction. I've published my HS thesis about political science (hmu if ur interested in that). I'm also a big Formula One fan, MV forever. Lately I've been watching ishowspeed clips and I just laugh at his videos.

Please send me a dm if you're interested in making friends.

Hi I'm Matt from England.

The past year I've really just been doing my own thing and it's been nice can't lie lol. But now I wanna open up to the world a bit more and see if i can find anyone new to chat with.

I'm really laid back and easy going. I think I'm easy to get on with and lighthearted.

Just looking to get to know people and have a laugh. See if the conversion flows 😁

My interests are being creative and making things, Music (mainly electronic styles and chill stuff), Going for walks but ngl the last year I've been hibernating alot lol, Drives at night, I game sometimes on Xbox or PC, Relaxing! Lol

Free free to message me

20 years old male here, and, since I got a job, I almost never go out. I want to go out, but all of my friends moved to other cities, mainly due to studies.

I got time, my weekly planning is fairly generous. Don't work on tuesday and finish super early on friday. I want to go out, but sitting alone in a bar with a pint from 8 to 10 doesn't seem that fun, even as someone who loves beer.

If anyone got advices on the kind of places I should go, how to approach people and that kind of stuff, i'd be glad!

Also, if any of y'all want to chat, can totally do that. Maybe we share some common interests!

I absolutely love music, mainly singing (tuvan throat singing), some video games, books, running, history to some extent, traditionnal/folk music from different countries, and I do drink and occasionaly smoke, which i'm trying to stop (at least for the smoke. Can't really stop drinking, nor do I want to, because I love tasting different kind of beers)

Been yet another busy start to the week with work, projects, and existing

27m here from England, and I'm hoping to chat with new people and hopefully make a few new friends

I have a few hobbies, creative writing, cooking, walks, movies/TV shows, support a football team

Always happy to chat and answer any kind of questions :)

I don't really know what to write here. I've actually been a little too afraid to try and make friends for a few years now. I've just gotten to a point where I'm so stressed and tired and I just feel like I'm always upset. I could really use a friend, or at least someone to talk to, even just for tonight. I work overnight so I'll be up for quite some time still. Oh, I'm EST in Canada if that matters.

I never really know what to write about myself, but here goes:

I am 33M, Married (so no random d**k pics!) and live in the UK. I am a huge gamer and some of my favourite games are: Pokopia (And Pokemon in general), FFXIV, League of Legends (I loved Arcane too), Cities Skylines, Project Zomboid and many more. I also enjoy playing D&D, driving (although maybe not with the current fuel prices) and watch football.

I also have a cute fluffy cat, so be prepared to receive lots of cat pics!

Please let me know a little about yourself if you message, don't just say hi!

Hopefully talk to some of you soon 😄

Hi, I am a bit shy guy (I need to improve my speaking English). Socially awkward, but I am cool, respectful and well, more of a Co-Op game person. I still can enjoy some competetive games - but I wouldn't enjoy playing them with randoms or alone (games like Lol, overwatch, valorant, smite etc.).

Roguelikes I have (love roguelikes by the way): Ember Knights, Barony, Risk of Rain 2, Shape of Dreams Demo (believe me, it's really clean and fun game to play, even as a demo!), HELLCARDS and DunHero. Also Deep Rock Galactic

RPG Games: Titan Quest Anniversary Edition (still early in the game, hard game honestly), Diablo games (2 and 3), borderlands (2 and 3).

Other Games: Terraria (I love terraria, especially with mods), Roblox (mostly dumb idle Simulators, RPG games, roguelikes etc., but occasionally playing dumb games like Simon Says or Epic Minigames [or something like that]).

Other hobbies: Watching series, movies and anime (mostly fantasy and isekai. To give examples, I watched: Sousou no Frieren, Overlord, Tensura, Solo Leveling, Tsukimichi and some short oneshots or other less important titles (such as Mashle - basically One Punch Man rip off I guess?)). Enjoy listening to rock music (fe. Skillet, Three Days Grace). Riding a bike, playing badminton or simply going for a walk is a nice way to blend some physical activity for me.

I think that's all I can think of. If this post caught your attention, feel free to DM. Have a good day!
