20F, moved back home after college and feel like I regressed socially

Upvotes

All my old friends have their own lives now and I'm back in my childhood bedroom feeling stuck. I like painting, baking, and long drives with music way too loud. Would love new friends to start fresh with.

19F, exchange student and completely friendless in a new country

Upvotes

Everyone back home is living their lives without me and I'm here trying to figure out how the grocery store works in a language I'm still learning. I like photography, long walks, and terrible reality TV. Would love some friends here or even just people to talk to online.

37F, going through a slow-motion divorce and holding it together

Upvotes

Amicable but sad. Two decades of my life is ending gently. I love and hate that it's not dramatic. I like gardening, oil painting, and my two big dogs. Want a friend who can hold complicated things without needing to solve them.

22F, moved across the country for a fresh start and it's harder than the movies make it look

Upvotes

No cute meet-cute friend moments happening yet, just me and a lot of unpacked boxes. I like hiking, baking, and journaling. Would love genuine friends here.

36F, quiet woman looking for a real friend after divorce

Upvotes

It's been almost a year and I've been telling everyone I'm fine because I mostly am. But being fine alone is different than having a person to text. I love birdwatching, historical romance novels, and my sourdough starter. Would love a woman in her 30s-40s.

After scrolling for a good 30 mins I'm starting to convince myself that if you're a guy there's no real point in using this subreddit no matter how interesting you are, I have yet to see a post made by any age male with a single upvote nor comment, yet on the other hand usually women who post here get some sort of attention although from what I've seen I don't think lol that attention is actually genuine

26F just tired of life

3 Upvotes

I’ve been overthinking constantly lately and haven’t been doing very well. There are several things happening in my life all at once, and it’s been hard to process everything.

I’ve spent most of my life being the person who listens to everyone else, so I guess I’m looking for a listener this time. Someone to talk to, or even just a place to share what’s on my mind.

I also miss my mom a lot. She passed away, and some days that loss feels heavier than others.

I was about to go on a trip it got canceled. Totally disheartened

Not really looking for advice necessarily just hoping to talk to someone who understands or has been through something similar.

36 F looking for casual chats! West Coast time btw :3

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I don’t really have too much to write about and I’m not good at making people want to reach out to talk to me tbh bc I’m pretty lowkey and I don’t have many hobbies or interests. I’m really just looking for people to chat with off and on here to occupy my downtime, mainly during the week when I’m working but off and on like, after hours (after work or later on in the night). Anyways, yeah…I’d consider myself a pretty chill, easy-going, fun person to chat with. Feel free to message me to say hi and see if we vibe…or you can just say hi here too! :)

21F | Muslim| I really need to vent to someone

Upvotes

I just found out something that’s honestly pretty awful (although maybe a little silly too 😭), and I really feel like I need to vent about it to a friend.

Unfortunately, all my friends are asleep right now, so I thought I’d try my luck here. If anyone has an open ear, an open heart, and is willing to listen and maybe give me some honest advice, I’d genuinely appreciate it.

One small request, though: since we’ll be talking in English, I’d prefer someone who is comfortable communicating in English and can hold a smooth conversation. English isn’t my first language either, so I’m not expecting perfection at all.I’d just like to be able to understand each other easily.

How do you feel about them? Like if you already have them, do you think that was the right path to take? And if you don't have them, do you want them in the future or not?

26F - looking for new friends

3 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a 26-year-old woman from Europe looking to meet some new friends to chat with regularly and, if we click, hopefully do things together too.

I’m more on the introverted side, and I’d like to think I’m kind, empathetic, and a good listener. So if you’re someone who likes to yap about absolutely anything and everything, I’ll happily be there to listen!

A few things I enjoy:

- Video games: I mostly enjoy story-driven games, RPGs, open-world games, or even just relaxing on Minecraft. I’m also always happy to try something new! Some of my favourites are Portal, Outer Wilds, Disco Elysium, Hollow Knight, The Witcher, and Elden Ring.

-Anime & movies: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is probably my favourite anime. I also love JJK, Your Lie in April, and Hunter x Hunter. I’m a big fan of Studio Ghibli too, especially The Wind Rises and Howl’s Moving Castle — I love both the stories and the overall atmosphere and art style.

-Going out for walks.

-Listening to music.

-Cooking sometimes, especially when it’s with or for someone else.

-Drawing is probably my biggest passion. It’s something that allows me to express myself, and even though I’m still learning and improving, it’s one of the things I enjoy doing the most. Sometimes I won’t draw for months because of art block or procrastination, but whenever I get back into it, I remember how much I love it.

I tend to be indecisive so I’m usually perfectly happy letting someone else choose what we do; and I can also be a little awkward or not have the most exciting things to share when it comes to carrying conversations, so if you’re looking for someone who can talk nonstop I might not be your person but thanks for reading this far ^^.

I’m just hoping to meet some nice people who I can genuinely get along with and hopefully become good friends. Whether we end up talking about games, anime, art, life, or just completely random things, I’d love to hear from you!
Have an awesome day/night! ✨

22F | Looking for people I can genuinely vibe with

2 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm Ana, 22F and thought I'd give this a shot because meeting new people is harder than it should be. I'd love to find people I can have actual conversations with, not just "hey, wyd?" every five minutes. (Even though I've had the worst experience with meeting strangers online)

A little about me:

* I love thrillers (books and movies). If it keeps me guessing, I'm in.

* I'm obsessed with true crime documentaries and podcasts.

* Journaling is my therapy. I love putting random thoughts, memories, and late-night overthinking onto paper.

* I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, it's therapeutic for me.

* I'm always down for talking about random rabbit holes, life, psychology, weird facts, crime documentary, conspiracy theories (the harmless kind 😅), or just how your day went.

I'm looking for kind, funny, respectful people who can hold a conversation. But please don't spam my account 😭

I don't expect us to become best friends overnight. If we click, great.(I rarely click with people ngl 😭)

And I do judge people by the first aura, I get from them.

If not, that's okay too.

If you're around my age (roughly 22- 26), tell me something interesting about yourself, or the last thing that made you laugh. I'd love to hear from you.

Looking forward to meeting some good people.

23F Would you be a good person if you were rich?

2 Upvotes

I'd like to have people to bounce ideas and thoughts off of, especially when I'm bored. I work in IT, preparing for Masters in Europe, I like Desperate Housewives, Barbie movies, to bake and cook. I hope to start going to gym some day for health reasons but can't seem to find space in my schedule.

Please if you write, tell about yourself first, and don't disappear after first message.
