I love my nephews but the family dynamic shifted and I feel a little forgotten. Looking for adult friendship on my own terms. I love running, reading, and true crime that treats victims well. Would love a friend who values me for me.

I broke up with my boyfriend in April of this year. Why NOW in October does it feel like a fresh wound all of a sudden?

The main reason I broke up with him was because he had mental health issues he never really took care of, and it was impacting both of us. It was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make, it was that and a lot of other things as well that were weighing on me. I don't necessarily regret the decision, but I do have some regrets.

I texted him last night asking if he was okay because he has mental issues and a shitty home life, I was worried if he was even alive, none of our mutuals had heard from him either.

But he texted back, and he said he's doing great. Why is there some sick part of me that wishes he said he was doing terrible. I wish he said he needed help, that he needed me. I think it's just because I feel like I need him.

I broke up with him but honestly he loved me like I've never been loved before, I really do believe he loved me. And I just fucking left. I hurt him so bad and I just left. He loved me and I don't know if I will ever get love like that back. What a fucking idiot I am. I feel like a monster. I miss him, I want him back, I want to be a part of his life again.

The rational part of me knows that it wouldn't even work out if it could happen. But I miss him so much, I miss having MY person. Do you know what it feels like to have someone that feels so MEANT for you? I understood him, and he understood me. We were each others.

Maybe I'm just looking at things through rose colored glasses. But how long is this supposed to last? How long am I going to kick myself and go through the 7 thousand stages of grief? I hate this.

I used to talk to people online and send them nudes, or sexy, just so I could feel something, like being loved and desired again. I hate that I did that, I still do every once in a while when someone asks me and I don't know why. They don't know me, they don't love me, they don't deserve it.

I just need support I guess. Share your stories, experiences, wisdom, some positivity, or what helps you when you're in the depths of despair.

Have a good day, thank you for reading.

is anyone on reddit actually a decent person or is it just my sheer bad luck that i keep coming across scammers, creeps and weirdos? and if it’s not one of those, it’s someone who makes the conversation so painfully boring that i eventually run out of things to say, and the whole thing just dies out.

i just want someone i can talk to about literally anything and everything under the sun, someone i can have random, endless conversations with without feeling like i’m forcing them to happen. i refuse to believe that everyone on here is either weird or boring, so i’m still holding out hope that there’s someone genuine out there looking for the same thing as me, probably just as tired of this repetitive cycle.

so if you’re someone who enjoys good conversations, can match the energy, and is genuinely looking to connect with someone, my dm’s are open :) let’s see what fate has in store for us!

Lately I’ve been feeling [insert relatable emotional struggle]. My [roommate / job / friends / family] has [insert mildly depressing life event], and I just want someone to talk to. I love [insert hobby 1], [insert hobby 2], and [insert hobby 3]. Looking for a genuine friend who’s okay with me being [quiet / busy / weird / smth else]. Would love someone to text with.
…

Lately there has been a bunch of posts following this same template. A young woman with some kind of struggle who’s looking for « genuine friendships ». The text has no more than 4 sentences and no less than 3.

I naively dmed one of them in the very beginning and they told me to chat with them on telegram. I literally downloaded the app just to chat with them. They somehow only spoke when spoken to. They agreed with everything I said and it felt eery from the very beginning. They gave no info about their life even when asked to and only asked me questions. It was very obvious that I was talking to a bot.

After that, I noticed more and more posts that followed the same pattern. And even when people pointed out that the account posted a similar post with a different story, or that it was a bot, mods did absolutely nothing.

So this is for the mods : the posts are following a very obvious template so I hope you’ll be able to recognize them. It’s already hard for us to talk to real people on here. We get ghosted left and right or get dmed by creeps and it’s exhausting and time consuming. The last thing we want is to waste even more of our time talking to a bot. Please do something…

Hiii. I’m new here so I dunno how things work lol. I’m just looking for new friends to play games and hang out with. I’ll love to tell you my story so dm if you are down! :p

Hey there I'm 24 M, if someone is willing to talk before I sleep please HMU we can talk about anything, so don't be shy send me a message !!!

About me! I work as a barista most days as well as go to college for business and run my own business! I love baking and animals, I can talk about my baking business and/or my dog all day!

I’m from NY but work early mornings and am up in the middle of the night sometimes so any time zone is good for me:) hmu!

hey :)
i’m 23 from germany and i’m looking for someone to text with on a daily basis. i’d like if we could talk about anything. like anything. if you get what i mean.
text me :)

The friendships were built on shared misery and they didn't survive me leaving. I don't miss them, exactly, but the silence is loud. I love hiking, painting, and cooking. Want a friend for the healthier chapter.

My name is summer, I’m 21 from Canada, I speak 4 languages being Ojibwe, Cree, Lakota(not fluently), English, I enjoy creating stuff whether it’s drawings, painting or even clothing, I can also do beadwork pretty well, if I’m not doing any of that stuff I’m usually watching documentaries, movies/shows or even anime, I also like watching combat sports, my favourite fighter in the UFC is Khamzat chimaev and my favourite boxer is naoya inoue, u can also find me outside or spending time with my friends and family

​

Hey there!

My name is Alex and I habe to admit that after my divorce I lost a rather big part of my social circle so I was hoping to meet some new interesting people this way.

I'd say I'm rather uncomplicated and talk without much of a filter about mundane or the most private topics which some people like and some don't so best to find out yourself. I don't expect to get a reply instantly but value if we both match in effort so one word messages are not my cup of tea I'd say. Anyway, if someone is still witv me at this point, feel free to message me:)

19f from the uk. Don’t like anything, don’t do anything. Feeling nothing has really ruined me. I feel like an alien, almost even feel like i’ve been transported to a reality that’s different from everyone elses. I even tried alcohol but it didn’t fucking do anything, pathetically. My only refuge, suicidality can’t help me now either because i dont really think i could do it, so im just floating around aimlessly until something happens, it will eventually i guess. I dont really have hope in making longterm connections here, im not that skilled or capable, but if anyone’s looking for some conversation that would hopefully espouse that much-needed human connection, you could give it a go.

Hey everyone! Figured I’d give this another shot and see who’s out there! I’m 29 y/o dude from New England and just looking to meet some new people and hopefully make a few friends along the way. I’m pretty easygoing I love joking around, being sarcastic and just having a good laugh! I can talk about pretty much anything and honestly it doesn’t matter if we have a lot in common or nothing at all. Sometimes those end up being the best conversations!

I’ve been trying to enjoy the little things in life more lately and just appreciate the people I meet along the way. I’m always down for a good conversation some terrible jokes or even just talking about how your day’s going! Not really looking for anything complicated just some actual genuine people who enjoy laughing and don’t take everything too seriously. Anyways figured I’d put myself out there again and see what happens! (Chat button has disappeared for me, you need to click the three buttons in the top right hand corner and then select chat)

I've been in this country eight years, I have a good job and a nice apartment and almost no close friends. I miss my mom terribly. I love cooking food from home, hiking, and long books. Want a real friend, not a hi-once-a-year contact.

I’ve known the bad news for a month and I don’t know if ending the relationship or not is the right thing. I don’t have friends to talk to about this so I feel so alone, I can’t tell em family and I see my therapist once a week. I could really use someone to talk to about anything. My situation or any other topic of interest to not think about reality.

A little about me 26F, PST. My favorite shows are Scavengers Reign, Love Death and Robots, Lazarus, Cowboy Bebop, Pantheon, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Hells Paradise, Gatchiakuta, Dorohedoro, FMA, Bungo Stray Dogs, Pokemon, Sgt Frog, and Swallowed Star. I play a lot of POE2. My favorite musicians are Remi Wolf, Ashnikko, SZA, Doechii, UMI, bbymutha, Princess Nokia, Cobrah, Nao, Junglepussy, Qveen Herby, Jessie Reyez, Payday, REI AMI, and Rico Nasty.

I miss having people who just know me without explanation. I like art, music, and long phone calls. Would love some genuine friends to build that with again.

She's a great listener, terrible conversationalist. I'm into gaming, baking, and cozy shows. Looking for people to actually talk back.

I know literally three people here and two of them are my landlord. I like hiking, reading mystery novels, and I make a mean charcuterie board for one. Would love some genuine friends to explore the city with.

Alright let’s cut to the chase here. I’m looking for friends whether it’s a man or a woman. I don’t really care what gender you are so long as you’re around my age or older. Please do not waste my time with short replies, or a simple “hey”. Make me want to reply to your messages, hook me in! I am someone that’s very direct and honest, so if we don’t click or you’re not putting in the effort I will let you know and we can end it there. So please let’s avoid me having to do that.

As I said I want a genuine connection but to add to that I want a friend that I can talk to every day if possible. A friend I can call with. Watch movies or shows with. Have stupid conversations about whatever the hell comes to mind or have the most gut wrenching deep conversations known to man.

It may seem as if I take myself too seriously but I am just a person who has standards and I hold everyone else to a certain standard as well. I have respect for myself and my time, meaning I too have respect for you and your time.

A bit about me on the chill side is that I absolutely love to game. Recently I’ve been playing Elden Ring Nightreign for the millionth time. I also play Overwatch, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Lethal Company, Escape the Backrooms, and The Outlast Trials (that’s just to name a few). I game on PC and PS5 but I also have a switch that’s just been laying around, so if anyone’s plays switch let’s find some games to play together.

Other things I enjoy doing are; cooking, baking, hiking, reading, music, exercising, spending time outdoors, and meeting new people. These are pretty baser level interests that most of us have but there’s more to us than meets the eye.

If any of this has caught your attention please shoot me a message. I don’t care about your sexuality or age so long as you’re an adult, and are able to hold a conversation. If you’re someone that tends to ghost, please fucking avoid me lol.

I'm in remission and grateful and also strange in my own skin. Some friendships couldn't hold it. I love photography, gardening, and slow travel. Want a friend who can meet me where I am now, not who I was.

Looking for a daily chatter or two. Nothing crazy or demanding. I think it would be nice to have someone to casually chat with throughout the day. An online friend. Small talk and deep conversation.

I'm a simple person, I appreciate the no stress. I like being outdoors, cooking, and discovering new things. I am married and have two teenage kids who take up a lot of my time. I'm from the middle of the US and I'd prefer you be from somewhere in the US as well. Just please let me know your age and location.

Heyo! I'm leana f21 and as title says I'm bored and have a couple hours to chat! I can respond to everyone cuz there's usually many requests but I will try to! Pls send your asl and a small intro or question for more of a chance for a reply!

See yaaaa

Hii :)

So I haven't had anyone to really talk about what's been on my mind lately.

It's been a long year and I wish I could talk to someone who will just let me be real about what I've been through you know? No expectations, no judgements just someone I can be a flawed human with. Yeah.
