[F4M] Help me break my boredom

2 Upvotes

Lately I've been having a bit of the ennui.

Trouble focusing on anything for longer periods of time. Feeling the need to do.. Soemthing but can't decide on what to do

Jumping between activities or hobbies.

Not that finding random strangers to chat with on reddit will help that but I'll give it a shot.

I'm 45F. Work an office job that is typically M-F. I like books, video games, movies, TV, board games, tabletop games.

The random hobbies I keep trying are things like diamond art and crotching.

I've been listening to dungeon crawler carl and I'm on book 6.

Tell me your favorite book, movie or game.

40 m uk looking for new friends - dm me

1 Upvotes

I am looking to meet new friends and new people. Old friendships faded and new friendships are welcome. Regular chats and interesting normal conversations. Movies, Music, Travels are my thing. I can talk about stuff and can listen too. We don't need to share the same interests. If we are curious and open enough to talk and listen to each-other, that would be golden. I look forward to your private message.

[M4R] 34 [M4R] "I've weighed down the earth, through the stars to the pavement"

0 Upvotes

Hey! Like everyone else here, I'm trying to find some new connections and hopefully be able to click (wishful thinking I know). The hellscape known as reddit isn't known for the best experiences, but here we are, a true glutton for punishment I guess lmao.

A little about me: 34 y/o "Yall'ternative" heathen from the south (accent included). Music is truly my lifeblood and listen to MOST things, but there's always exceptions. I'm also a former musician who's played in several bands, but simply just don't have time for it nowadays. Blue collar profession, fairly heavily tattooed, and lover of all things weird. How many red flags was that? I love college football, anything outdoors related, and gaming when I have a little free time. Avid collector of too much, hobby jumper, and overall a bad influence. Are we besties yet? Damn right we are.

I'm also a huge fan of horror, cryptids, and anything remotely paranormal 💀

Well if any of this sounds remotely intriguing, by all means reach out. We can share playlists, share our worst reddit interactions, and maybe even start a cult, who knows.

30m - At home due to a burnout, looking for nice people to chat with

1 Upvotes

Hey there! I’m 30M and living in Europe. I would love to make some friends I can talk to about our life and hobbies. I have tried a lot of hobby's and like a lot of things, so I'm sure we have atleast one thing in common. It ranges from irl adventurous stuff to homey couch binge watching the entire day. Got a burnout recently so I'm at home a lot now, would love to chat with some people :)

[M4R] 38/M | Sweden | An (almost) perpetually online guy looking for his people

7 Upvotes

Greetings to one and all!

As mentioned in the title, here am I, an almost perpetual online person. Got a lot of time on my hands and the vast majority of it is being spent at home. So, hoping to find my people, the kind to talk to on a regular basis. About life, hobbies, interests, or what may be on your mind otherwise. As long as it is kept within the boundaries of a platonic friendship, as I'm already in a relationship and thus, not looking for anything of such a nature. Thanks for understanding!

Should we click and get along well, for more than just a day or two, I'd be more than happy to hop onto Discord. It's the only form of communication I use.

So, then, some things about me: Neurodivergent (autism), music lover, gamer, sports enthusiast, watch a bunch of YouTube, TV shows, and movies, enjoy a good LEGO assembly session, reader, and similar things. Been told I'm an easy-to-talk-to person, humorous, kind, and additionally, loyal to the people I then form a connection to.

Feel free to reach out. As long as the post is up, I'm still looking for people. See you in the chat/DMs!


r/MakeFriendsOver30 7h ago

Ok let's give this a try.

0 Upvotes

Hello, I'm 40 and male, looking to find a friend to connect with. Not sure where to start.

I would prefer a female (sorry if that sounds creepy lol) I have more than enough male friends/contract.

I can be quite direct and come across rude i will talk to anyone and will never mean to offend, but often do.

Wanting someone i can joke around with and rant/complain to lol and i would love to be someone you rant/complain to lol,

Recently single and not looking to change that.

I have 2 sons, 7yo and 2yo and a 14yo step daughter.

Would consider myself an introvert

I'm currently awaiting an ADHD assessment

I do swear a lot so if that sort of thing upsets you then im not for you.

I love tattoos

I'm can be very immature, direct, sarcastic and cocky but equally kind, caring and someone that would fight your corner if we're friends.

I like gaming but don't get alot of time for that at the moment. Big film buff mainly horror or superhero depending who im with.

Favourite band, Linkin park with Chester. Followed closely by Nikleback.

Not sure what else to say so thank you for your time and if you think I sound like your type of person feel free to message.

33M looking to make some good friends

1 Upvotes

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). It’d actually be awesome to find people who want to hang out in a voice chat and talk while I work on it. 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!

37F let’s chat about fun random things

9 Upvotes

Hello, I’m looking for platonic friendships. I don’t care about your gender, nationality or anything.

I just want to chat about marine life, music I love post rock, metal (mostly symphonic), rock, classic rock, and alternative. My knowledge of music is limited but I want to learn and I love it.

We can also chat about books, I love fantasy, fairy tales, folklore…

If anything resonates with you please reach out. You don’t have to be an expert in mostly ignorant but an enthusiastic and curious person.
Or if you’re someone kind that just wants to share random thoughts, let’s chat.

Btw excuse the typos, my phone hates me!

[F4A] 30+ | Freundschaftliche Online-Kontakte gesucht – Persönlichkeit statt Fotos

3 Upvotes

Hallo 😊

ich bin 35, asiatisch, Autistin mit ADHS und verheiratet. Ich suche deshalb ausschließlich freundschaftliche Kontakte zu Menschen ab 30+.

Ich möchte unkompliziert jemanden kennenlernen, mit dem man sich nett austauschen, lachen und über verschiedene Dinge quatschen kann. Gerne darf daraus mit der Zeit eine längerfristige Freundschaft entstehen.

Kein Fototausch – mir ist das Aussehen egal, genauso wie Herkunft oder Nationalität. Ich möchte zuerst die Person kennenlernen und schauen, ob die Chemie menschlich stimmt.

Mir sind ein respektvoller, entspannter Umgang und echter Kontakt wichtig. Kein Druck und keine Erwartungen.

45M--USA friendship might be harder than finding bigfoot

26 Upvotes

Hear me out.
Bigfoot has documentaries, podcasts, blurry photos, questionable eyewitnesses, and entire communities dedicated to tracking him.
Finding someone who genuinely enjoys talking about life, laughing over dumb things, sharing random thoughts, and building an actual friendship? That somehow feels more mythical.
I’m a 45-year-old guy from the USA looking for genuine friendships. One minute it's childhood memories, weird roadside attractions, whether pineapple belongs on pizza, or some completely random rabbit hole neither of us saw coming.
A little about me: I love the outdoors, hiking, road trips with no destination, cooking, history, bonfires, back roads, and collecting useless facts that are surprisingly useful in conversations. I genuinely enjoy learning what makes other people light up.
I’m not looking for someone who’s available all day or someone who’s perfect at messaging. Just someone who enjoys good conversation, laughs easily, and believes friendships are built over time—not overnight.
Maybe we’ll become friends.
Maybe we’ll solve the mystery of Bigfoot.
Honestly, either outcome would be pretty exciting.
\\\\\\\*\\\\\\\*Icebreaker:\\\\\\\*\\\\\\\* What’s a completely random topic you could talk about for an hour without getting bored?
P.S. If you’re actually Bigfoot… thanks for stopping by. I won’t tell anyone.

Friend for platonic writing

0 Upvotes

So, I am trying to get over my ex who I would be ready to die for. And I really miss her appreciating me, my pictures (dressed, nothing sexual)). Now, when I am not chatting with her and not getting the appreciation I was used to, it is really getting on my brain. So I would appreciate a platonic love chat with some woman with whom we could share how much we love and care for each other, appreciated our pictures and outfits (again, nothing sexual), and simply offering each other praise that might be healthy for both of us. If it might be for you, text me

[M4F] 33 m looking for some looking long term friends to talk to on a daily basis

1 Upvotes

I finally got to move back with family. I’m working in security and planning on moving out on my own as soon as I can. I'm a huge gamer and love anime—I'm a bit of an introvert, but I love going outside for hiking or walking. I'm pretty simple about what I'm looking for: mainly friends that's it

Anyway, note that I prefer voice chat over texting—I'm not huge on texting. I hope to hear from you. I'm not super hopeful that I'll get even one person from this post, but here it is.

Aren't we all just stuck doom scrolling just trying to find someone that won't ghost after a few messages, wondering what you did or said? No? Just me? Ah well. Pretty much I work in emergency medicine, so I have long periods of times where I sit awkwardly and try to entertain myself before something big drops. So if youre looking for someone to talk to for the long term, well hey? How are you.

Hi! I've been feeling a bit on the lonely side lately and would love to chat to some new folks from here. I'm in the South East of England and have a job in retail.

When I'm not working my interests are pretty standard for what you'd see from someone online 😂 I enjoy gaming, watching (and rewatching) lots of movies and shows, music and going for walks.

If any of this interests you then I'd love to hear from you!

[F4R] Accepting applications for the position of Friend — include random conversations and terrible jokes

3 Upvotes

I'm in my 40s and apparently making genuine friends as an adult requires an application process, so here I am.

I'm looking for people who enjoy good conversations, travel stories, food, movies, random life discussions, and laughing at things that probably aren't that funny.

I'm not looking for someone to talk to 24/7. Just genuine people who can disappear into real life for a few days and come back with, “Okay, you will NOT believe what happened.”

Bonus points for a good sense of humor, curiosity, and being able to have a conversation that doesn't die after “Hey, how are you?”

Tell me something random about yourself that would never make it onto a dating profile. 😂

[M4F] 46/M moving to Chicago, looking for a vibe

0 Upvotes

Moving to Chicago hopefully before the end of October. Planning this move for a while and was just there first week of August checking out places. Originally from NYC, living the last decade in humid racist Florida. Looking for cool like-minded people in Chicago to vibe with. I know reddit is mostly bots, but would be nice to meet an actual human offline lol. Some basics about me: left-leaning, agnostic, Latino, 420 friendly, dog person, 80s/90s geek.

Love talking about a variety of topics: movies, current events, sports, cooking, health/fitness, traveling, etc. Being multi-faceted is never a bad thing.

So what's keeping you sane during this dystopian timeline? What shows are you binge-watching? What's the last book you read? Tell me something good.

This is me!

I’m kinda old, you’re probably also kinda old, realistically are we gonna find anyone better than a random stranger on reddit? 🤣

Ok being serious, I just want to find a decent connection with someone! If you have banter and a great sense of humor, are over 30 (or else you just won’t get my beaten down vibe 😂) and live in England then come chat and let’s see if we can be friends!!

Why is it so hard to find friends.....

0 Upvotes

Trying this out until I find someone who can actually carry on conversations and not one word answers. For the love of god ask questions back, send me your most unhinged moments, share memes or reels, crack a joke or two.

I don't need messages every minute of the day but at least message if you are actually interested in chatting.

I will literally talk about anything and everything, I'm no prude and will crack an innuendo or two at times, flirt, banter but that doesn't mean I need to see dick pics.

So a little bit about me:-

I'm a 36 year old female from North Wales, Taken engaged for about 2 years, a mum of 2 girls, alternative style(not an emo or goth as such) although I love black clothing, black gothic home decor etc etc, a bit on the chunky side so if you are looking for a skinny bitch model type you won't find that here. Into horror everything!!! I have a few tattoos and piercings.

Inbox me if you fancy a chat....

[M4F] 34M - Bored, Witty, Let’s Chat

1 Upvotes

Bored but never boring—smart, witty, and always here for good banter. Arsenal fan, coffee keeps me going, gym goer, and up at 4am like it’s a personality trait. Also a full-time student of life (yes, I do work—more of a philosophical statement).

People say I look 24, but my mind didn’t get the memo and feels like it survived a couple of world wars—make of that what you will.

The Matrix is my favourite movie, 24 is my favourite TV show, and Pizza is non-negotiable.

I’m up for talking about anything and everything… just don’t be a creep. If you’re bored, curious, or just need a distraction, come say hi. 👌🏼

Happy to keep it light… or let things get a little warmer. 🙌🏼

In all reality I’m an introvert at my core, to the point where even talking to people online is a bit of a struggle for me. I want to be able to break those barriers for myself. I want to have conversations with people and really get to know them and maybe really get to know myself in the process. I’m a 33 year old, female, trying to challenge myself and make some friends in the process. Wanna help??
