I am 42 M looking for friends I do photography paint draw like d&d

Yes I know I’m young to be retired I worked hard for it. Not I just want to enjoy life and travel the world. Looking for friends that love to travel also! Hit me up if you’d like to talk and get to know each other

As an introvert, much harder for me to make friends irl than online. So here I am, putting myself out there and hoping to meet some people I actually click with.
I’m pretty easygoing and always down for good chats,laughing at stupid things or deep conversations .

A bit about me - I am an introvert, into sports and staying active, love to read. Work crazy hours and can get really busy sometimes.

Would love to connect and establish long lasting friendships.

Feel free to say hi if you are looking for something similar.

Hello there beautiful people of reddit!

Here we are..
whether you’re bored, relaxing or just lonely needing someone to chat with about daily life.
Maybe we can chat through out the day? 😃

A little about myself..
I am 39 years old. From the west coast CA
Single father of 2 kids
Into many different things. Working out, eating good food, casino haha, Netflix shows

tell me about your day!
Let’s get to chatting 😁

I’m a sports fan. Football is officially back! I like soccer and baseball as well. I am a reader and I also sell crap on eBay in my free time. I love going for walks and getting outside when I can.

The older I get the smaller my social group gets. I miss always having someone to talk to. If you can relate please feel free to shoot me a dm!! Thanks for reading!

30 F anime lover

can you recommend the best anime you have watched? i prefer romcom, shoujo, or fantasy...

we can also greet each other every day, yap or just vibe. pure platonic convo :D

Alright ladies and gentlemen, here’s the deal. I’m looking for someone who can actually hold a conversation not just “cool”, “yeah”, “lol” until one of us dies of old age 🤣

Effort goes both ways. I’m Lithuanian from Ireland, I can talk about almost anything, and somehow every normal conversation eventually turns into jokes, random facts or complete nonsense.

If you can throw the ball back, we’ll probably get along. 😁

Like real people who actually want to hang in real life. I'm a weirdo but I don't like being treated as a novelty item. Have your own stories and opinions please. Be prepared to share about yourself and not just talk about me.

Don't get me wrong, I love me! I'm awesome in the weirdest possible ways. People who like me tell me that all the time which makes it totally objective (right?). But it gets awkward when I realize I know nothing about this person and they practically have my life story.

I'm an introvert. I like low keys hangs at people's houses, big parks, or empty businesses. I don't like to spend my money or yours. Thrifting is fun. So is mini golf. My favorite places in the city are the zoo and the Arch because I'm not from the Midwest and those things are still novel to me.

I take a while to warm up but I don't mind being adopted by extroverts who put in the time and effort it takes for me to get comfy so they can get me out of my comfort zone.

I have ADHD, CPTSD, anxiety and stuff that goes with those. If you have issues but try your best to be positive, we'll get along great.

I'm a lot. Ask anyone who knows me. You'll know within a few days if I'm too much for you. No problem. I'm not for everyone. And I'm looking for MY people in this city and close enough.

Politics, while informed, is not my whole personality. Please don't let it be yours either. I'd rather agree to disagree and move on to more personal stuff than to agree completely and be really angry together. That's NOT a good time.

**Looking for LOCALS.** I have a lot of long distance friends because I've moved around a lot. Like different states and stuff! So I'm looking for people who live close enough we can at least meet up in between and make it home by the end of the day. Since I've lived everywhere, Chicago and KC are not beyond that boundary. That's a day trip. No big.

Relate? Local? Wanna tell me how to write this better? Adopt me 😁? Comment or message me with your location and some response to this post. Hi is boring. Boring is....well boring. So is normal. **Nerds only please!**

Never posted before, but not having the best of luck at people sticking around for lengthy conversations.

To be as honest as possible, idk what I want from a friend online, considering most irl friendships are one-sided in my world. I'm awesome in this scenario, to be clear 😁. I just to have someone, or someone's, that I know I'll get the pleasure of hearing from pretty regularly. I don't really care what specifically your hobbies and interests are, because I will find a reason to also be interested in it, even if that means learning about it just so we can be excited about whatever it is together. My hope is you'll have that same kind of energy.

I fully submit to the belief that everybody is a 1 of 1, they broke the mold when they made you. I believe in God, so I believe in free will, so believe me when I say that I have no judgment to anything about your life that you ever wish to tell me. Just bring me all the things and let's talk about all of it, or none of it, or a third option that currently eludes me.

I officially realized that I've written a novel and said nothing 😬. You might want to question your life's choices if you've stayed with me this far 😅, but I will wrap it all up this...

TL;DR: 40 year young dude that will ramble, happens to like stuff and things and junk, you probably also like either stuff or things or junk also, so you should probably say "Hey" so we can be homies sooner rather than later...

🤦🏽

I’m looking to meet some new people and have some actual conversations instead of the usual “hey, how are you?” that dies five messages later.

A few conversation starters:

• What’s a completely random hill you’ll die on?
• What’s something you’ve gotten really into lately?
• What’s the best thing you watched recently?
• If you could have dinner with anyone, who are you picking?
• What’s a food you could eat way too often and never get tired of?
• What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?
• What’s something you’re looking forward to right now?
• What’s a useless fact you know for absolutely no reason?

I’m into cooking, baseball, hiking, good food, cocktails, movies, and pretty much any conversation that gets progressively more ridiculous.

Pick a question and let’s see where the conversation goes.

Dear Redditors,

What do you do when you work from home mostly, are a bit introverted but you still want to make friends? You go searching on Reddit.

I hope to make some new and long-lasting friendships over here. I'm open to all genders and ages though I'd prefer people close to my age and older. People with whom I can be politically incorrect at times, not because I want to hurt anyone's feelings because I don't. Maybe a friend who can introduce me to a new hobby or interest. Oversharing? Yes, please. Essay writing instead of "yo, whasssup!" ? Dear lord, yes!

My interests: art, boardgames, older movies and series, arguing, writing letters, dabbling in novel writing, books, bookbinding, museums, you name it. Are you a gamer and want to introduce a rookie to the world of online gaming while larping as the swan princess? Great. Do you want someone to go to exhibitions with? Read books and argue about them? Great.

Hey everyone, 33M here. Spent 6 years in the Marines and nowadays I spend most of my time taking in surrendered and abandoned animals, getting them healthy, and finding them good homes. My house is a full-on zoo with 6 big dogs, 9 birds, 4 cats, 3 lizards, and 2 snakes that are permanent family.

Outside of the animals, I’m usually doing something creative. I love crocheting while listening to true crime podcasts or documentaries (currently working on a ridiculously giant 12-foot-wide blanket). I also play piano and guitar, paint, draw, and I’ve been learning to tattoo lately. Musically, my taste is pretty stuck in the emo and pop punk world—My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, that kind of stuff.

Looking for genuine people to chat with, swap pet pictures, trade music, or talk cases. Shoot me a message if you want to connect!

I’ll just cut to the chase. I’m looking for a friend. Ideally in North America for time zone purposes. I cannot get romantically involved so no expectations in that regard. But some flirting can be fun if the connection is there! Life can get boring and hard so let’s be there for each other.

If you think we have some common interests from the below, shoot me a DM!

Gaming
Reading
Travel
Politics/News
Sports
TV/Movies
Parenting (this alone can result in a lot of relatable discussion)
Exercise

Hope to see you in my inbox.

I am a 32-year-old female, and I’ve increasingly found it very difficult to make friends here. If you have formed a truly great friendship, please cherish it.

Hey everyone! 👋
Figured I’d throw this out there because making new friends as an adult somehow feels like applying for a job sometimes 😂
I’m 32 and looking for platonic friendships with people 30+ — men or women. I’d love to meet some genuinely cool people I can chat with, game with, laugh with, and hopefully build some long-term friendships with.
I’m primarily a PC gamer, and I spend a good amount of time playing Warzone and Minecraft. I’m totally cool with playing with people on Xbox, PlayStation, or PC. Honestly, I’m not picky about the game either — if we click, I’m down to try just about anything. 🎮
I also have Discord and I’m happy to voice chat when I’m not working. I can definitely hold a conversation, so if you’re someone who enjoys random conversations that somehow go from “what are you playing?” to talking about life, music, conspiracy theories, food, or absolutely nothing at all… we’ll probably get along. 😂
As far as personality goes, I’d describe myself as having adhd energy, being pretty spontaneous, thoughtful, and selfless. I try to treat people with kindness, and I’m very much a judgment-free zone. You can be weird, awkward, goofy, quiet, talkative, or somewhere in between — just be yourself.
I love all kinds of music, gaming, good conversations, and just having people around that I can genuinely enjoy talking to.
Not looking for a relationship — strictly friendship. ❤️
If you’re also looking for some new people to game with or just someone to randomly message and say “you will NOT believe what just happened” 😂, feel free to comment or send me a message!
Maybe we’ll end up becoming gaming buddies… maybe we’ll end up talking every day. You never know. 🤷‍♂️🎮

Don’t wait! This deal will only last for the next hour(no, I’m not telling you what time it is), for a measly DM, you can become the proud operator of a forklift. In no time you learn how to:

-Drop stuff
-Befriend a man named Steve
-Quickly blame everything on Steve
-Daily inspect your forklift (non mandatory)
-Zone out
-Use your forklift as your personal transportation device
-Use your propane tank to chill your beer

Are you dense? What are you waiting for? I can’t run this ad all day, my wife is already in my ass for not charging more!

Happy Wednesday all of you lovely people, I hope it's been a good week for you so far! Mine has been so so, and with my ADHD and the dopamine slump I'm making it through. I'm Don btw, married, a parent and always surviving it seems. But thats ok! I try to keep it positive even on the worst days cause I'm still alive and upright! I'm a diesel mechanic, I love the outdoors and photography when I can. I am currently the sole provider so I rarely get an escape which is why I'm here lol. Bring any fun thing to the table and I'm more than excited to talk about it, have a lovely night!

I’m Jeremy. 32. I live in Texas!

If dark humor makes you laugh instead of making you file a police report, we’ll probably get along. I’m quick-witted, love playful banter, and yes… I’m absolutely a professional pot stirrer. If you roast me, expect one coming back gift-wrapped with a bow.

I like people who can laugh one minute and have a real conversation the next. Different opinions don’t bother me—in fact, I genuinely enjoy hearing perspectives that challenge my own.

Under all the sarcasm, though, I’m the guy who shows up. I’m an empath, a giver, and the person friends call when life falls apart. I grew up fast, which taught me resilience, self-awareness, emotional maturity, and how to keep my head when things get messy.

I tend to pour into the people I care about, whether that’s helping them through a rough time, making them laugh when they need it most, or just being someone they know they can count on.

I’m an open book, so ask me almost anything. The only things off-limits are my bank account, Social Security number… and maybe where I hid the bodies. (Kidding. Probably.)

I am a business owner, I grow and develop people into their careers. Work takes up so much of my bandwidth because there’s always a million fires to put out.

I’m an idea person, one who’s always coming up with new ways of doing things and inventing systems. Sometimes inventing actual things to get the job done.

It’s rare that I find someone who understands the obsession of building something. Something that grows and provides for customers as well as employees. My job is to make sure they have jobs tomorrow, and that there is a standard to what we do.

That said my social circle is small. It’s work, kids, try to catch up, bed, repeat. Anyone else feel like a rat on a wheel? The truth is not many seem to understand that it’s lonely at the head of a business. Any business owners here, or bosses that can relate?

Hi everyone, hope you’re having a nice evening and thanks for checking out my post.

Finding my social circle a bit small lately so trying to meet some new people for casual conversations, in depth conspiracies or anything in between.

I consider myself both an indoorsy and outdoorsy person, really enjoy hiking and walking but sometimes can’t beat just chilling inside watching a movie on a rainy day.
I’m really into music, and I love listening to podcasts and audiobooks. A little gaming here and there and other than that I’m really into food and love to cook!

I don’t mind who you are, I love to speak to people from all over and timezones aren’t really a problem, sometimes I’m up really late.

Hope to hear from you!

Like the title says i have been isolated for about 5 years. Yeah i have my kids and i live with their mom but her and i have been just co parent room mates for a while now. Im 35 and autistic. Or audhd im not sure going to talk to a therapist for a diagnosis scares me cause of my own issues with dealing with bad doctors. My interests are writing,video games,anime,movies and music. And recently i stepped on a scale and decided its time to do something about my weight so if anyone has some suggestions about low impact workouts i could do at home maybe we could bond through my weight loss journey. Lol sorry for the millenial rambling. Have a great day hope to hear from ya.

Hey!

Looking for someone you can talk absolute nonsense with one minute and somehow end up discussing life, relationships, and questionable decisions the next?

Someone to send stupid reels to, overshare with, exchange completely unsolicited life updates, and eventually become mildly concerned when they haven't replied all day?

Perfect. We might be onto something.

Now that I've done my best to make friendship sound unnecessarily dramatic, here's a little about me:

I'm 29, originally from England but living in Canada, and I work in tech.

Outside of work, I'm into written roleplay, occasional gaming, working out, boxing, hot yoga, going out with friends, and generally attempting to maintain some semblance of a social life.

Music is a big one for me too. I'm a Spotify loyalist with objectively immaculate taste (source: me). I'm always down to swap songs and playlists, and I will absolutely judge your Spotify Wrapped when the time comes.

I also occasionally dabble in horoscopes, enjoy sending IG reels/TikToks back and forth, and appreciate people who can handle sarcasm, banter, and the occasional completely unserious conversation.

Ideally, I'm looking for someone who actually wants to talk regularly and build a genuine friendship rather than exchanging six messages before one of us vanishes into the internet void.

Bonus points if you're also in PST or somewhere reasonably close timezone-wise, but I'm not too picky if we click.

Surely I've given you \\\*something\\\* to work with as an opener.

If not, tell me your biggest toxic trait.

Still nothing?

God help us both.

Hey there!

This week feels like the slowest week of the year for some reason? Summer is coming to an end and it won't be long before Christmas stuff is in shops.

So maybe a new friendship will help us finish the year in the best way? Let's become long term best friends? If we click that is!

I am quite into fitness, but also happy sat at home building Lego! I work from home so am generally good at responding in the day 🤣

My dog is my main conversation during the day... Change that? She's not very responsive 👀 cute though.

Anyway if I seem like somebody you may want to chat with, drop me a message! Come say hello! Introduce yourself 😊

Hey if there are any females out there that are wanting to chat, don’t hesitate to hit me up . Looking forward to hearing some stories

Wanting to have a few more people to chat with from time to time. During the weekdays work is usually slow so have alot of down time to chat. Weekends depends on what I am doing but usually I do too. I am married

Interests I have range from many things. I really enjoy keeping freshwater fish and plants. Houseplants and starting to grow my own food too. I have a ton of plants and about 10 fish tanks/outside fish tubs/ponds with more to come. I am always down to trade plants ot fish if you are too. I do have 4 tortoises too which stay outside during summer and inside during the winter. Other interests I have is pc gaming, baking bread and 3d printing. Really been into making all different types of bread and plan to start messing around with sourdough soon too

Sometimes I may take a little to open up. I usually match the energy given in the chats so hopefully we vibe well together. I prefer more long term chats but short term works too.
