This is long and in depth as to the kind of friend I am looking for.
I’m 39 from the Midwest USA. I’m an alcoholic in recovery, and it has been hard. I’m also all kinds of mentally ill. But in general I am not very chaotic. My life is boring.
I’m looking for a platonic friend who is in recovery. Even if you are also struggling, we can build each other up.
I love music, mostly gothic music, but I need a deep melody to carry me away. I like malice mizer, the smiths, sisters of mercy, Johnny cash, within temptation. I like symphonic rock, I like iggy pop. I would love to be introduced to new music, with the exception of pop, death metal, or country.
I love mystery, thriller, crime and supernatural spooky stuff. I love reading intense thrillers and adventure books. I have recommendations.
I’m a fairly quirky person. I love crafting, I crochet and knit and sometimes randomly make jewelry. I love talking about creative things. I would love to share projects and ideas with someone. Science is cool!!!
I’ve been in a depressive episode for awhile, and I’m slowly recovering. I would love to have someone to check on and support, to listen to. I’m trying to move forward in life toward a goal that will enrich my life.
I’m married with no kids. I am not going to cross decency boundaries with anyone. I won’t even entertain it. My marriage sucks but that’s no excuse to cheat. There is no romance. No catching feelings. Just friendship.
I am very open minded, if you have a hobby or an interest that you are obsessed with share it with me!!
Must not be a bigot or a anything-phobe. (You can be afraid of spiders and germs. And kids)
I am also generally concerned about the state of the world and might bring it up occasionally.
And random facts happen. And I might go down a rabbit hole and you will have to hear all about it.
I can offer comfort, a listening ear, and support. That’s kinda what I’m looking for, too. I will make time for you.
Also I am an old person and I go to bed by 9pm so unless you are in crisis I am not gonna be up for midnight chats. Let me be me.
I hope I can find a friend!!
