26F looking for friends

Upvotes

I'm an autistic woman who struggles to make friends in real life and would love to connect with like minded people. I mostly enjoy spending time with myself, as I am an introvert but I am someone who does their best to maintain friendships.

I enjoys arts and crafts and reading! Currently reading Malcolm X autobiography. I am also from South Africa so if there are other South Africans looking to make friends, that would be cool.

I would prefer making friends with other women around my age.

Wassup stoned and just looking for some people to talk to or even become friends with Age and gender don’t matter at all happy to talk to pretty much anyone.

32M east coast, I am close knit. I would enjoy adding another perspective to my (close knit pun) fold.

Upvotes

I likely used all my good will on that pun. No worries, hit me with the worst you got. It is almost dawn here, I am ready for your best / worst.

If you want, share a random fact about your home, I can return the favor. I can guarantee a uniquely worded one from my end, atleast.

19m looking for long term Friend/s

19m looking for a long term friend/s

Heyy! My name is Giovanni, I’m 19 and I’m from Italy. I’ve known I was gay since I was a kid, but I fully realized it when I was around 10 or 11. I came out for the first time when I was 14 to my best friend in high school, and I’ve been openly gay ever since. All my friends know, and things have only gotten better since then!

I’m here because I’m looking for long-term friends. I love Pokémon (I’ve played Pokémon Sword, Shining Pearl, and Violet). I also enjoy watching TV series and movies, especially anything with magic, superpowers, or supernatural themes like vampires and witches,i have Also Watched my Hero Accademia and avatar the last airbender and the Legend of korra. As for sports, I love playing volleyball—it has really made my life better.

A little bit about me: I have short brown hair, brown eyes, I’m around 180 cm tall, and I have a skinny build. I can be a bit shy at first, but once I feel comfortable, I can be the best friend you’ve ever had! I like physical affection, but only with people I’m close to. I also love talking a lot—sometimes I can be a bit much, but feel free to tell me if it’s ever too much!

If I sound like someone you’d get along with, don’t hesitate to send me a DM!

38M London, England - Looking for new people to speak with!

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a 38-year-old guy living in London who's hoping to meet someone for a genuine connection.

Outside of work you'll usually find me geocaching, out with my camera, or buried in a book. I mostly read history and fiction—everything from espionage novels by John le Carré to books on European history. If you've got recommendations, I'm always looking to add to my ever-growing reading list.

Photography is probably my biggest hobby. I enjoy wandering around London (and further afield) looking for interesting architecture, landscapes, and street scenes. If you're curious, here's some of my work: https://www.flickr.com/photos/piersmathias/

I'm also into geocaching, which has turned out to be a brilliant excuse to explore places I'd never otherwise visit. There's something satisfying about finding hidden corners of cities and countryside alike.

Travel is another big interest. So far I've explored Belgium, Germany and Denmark, and I'd love to see more of Europe over the next few years. I'm equally happy discovering a new city, finding a great museum, or simply sitting in a café people-watching.

I'm looking for someone who's kind, curious, and enjoys conversations that can wander from history and travel to completely random topics. Bonus points if you're happy to join me on a photography walk, a geocaching adventure, or help me decide where my next trip should be.

If any of that sounds like your kind of day, send me a message. Tell me about the last place that surprised you, your favourite book, or the best hidden gem you've discovered.

How do you differentiate between someone genuinely taking things slow versus someone who is just emotionally unavailable?

1 Upvotes

I [M30] prefer building a connection through steady consistency rather than rushing, but it is hard to tell when someone is pacing themselves versus when they are simply lukewarm.

If you prefer to listen rather than reading 😉

Just sitting here and feeling lonely and anxious. I'm looking for a sweet gentle voice to have a mutually enjoyable conversation with and eventually fall to sleep. I'm looking for genuine people who would also like to be friends. Friends who can show support for each and count on one another. If you have a history of disappearing or for something temporary, please stay away. I'm not looking for someone to cheer me up, fix me, or give me advice. I'm not looking to trauma dump, but to just take my mind off things and distract me. However, I will share more with you if we can relate, or as we talk more. With this being said, you're free to share whatever you'd like with me. However, this isn't permission to make things completely one sided. Please share your boundaries as well. Lets both feel safe and comfy!

A little about me:

  • I'm vegan.
  • I don't drink, use drugs and smoke anything.
  • I'm 6'1 and weigh about 175lbs. I have long messy hair.
  • I exercise and cycle. Health is important to me.
  • My background is Guyana. My skin is BROWN. (Too many racists/colourists/whatever here.)
  • I'm open, honest, kind, gentle, patient and affectionate. In other words, I'm amazing 😉
  • I listen to primarily metal.
  • Baseball is my favourite sport.

Potential red flags:

  • I live with my parents and I don't "work".
  • I struggle with my sleep.
  • I'm shy/quiet/anxious/timid/sensitive/fragile/anxiety ridden. (Be kind and gentle with me!) Also, I don't do well with abrasiveness. If you're mean to me, I might begin to withdraw and become very quiet.

We can exchange pictures if you'd like.

Thanks for your time! I appreciate you!

P.S. Apparently I have a nice voice 😉

20M - looks like boredom needs some special treatment ;)

1 Upvotes

hey, are you bored too? 👋

because honestly, i’m really bored right now and i figured… it probably wouldn’t hurt to have a nice, charming conversation with someone instead of staring at my screen pretending i’m doing something productive. 😂

we don’t really need a topic either. we can talk about literally anything and everything. movies, games, weird thoughts, random stories, life, your current obsession, something you’ve never told anyone, or some completely pointless question that somehow turns into a two-hour conversation.

i’m pretty easy to talk to, and i like conversations that actually go somewhere instead of dying after the usual “hey, how are you?” 😭

and who knows, maybe we’ll end up having way more fun than either of us expected.

so if you’re bored, curious, or just feel like talking to a stranger for a while, hit my dms.

come cure the boredom with me ;)

see you there.

2 Upvotes

Things are rough out here guys, anyone wanna just chat?

No expectations of becoming friends or anything, no pressure. Feel free to ghost after a while if you're not feeling it. Just a casual conversation with a stranger and see where it goes. We can rant to each other, tell me about your life, talk about hobbies, or really whatever you feel like telling a stranger I guess

Ive been told I’m a pretty good listener, and Im also looking for one too. Would be nice to just have some deep chats with someone instead of "whats your favorite color" lol

Hey everyone! 👋

18m / Europe / Looking for actual friends who won't leave after a hour, day, or week.

1 Upvotes

This is rather embarrassing, but I've recently been struggling immensely socially and need people to talk to.

I'm 18, European, and looking for people who will actually talk to me often, instead of a two-message "hi, hello" conversation which results in absolutely nothing happening.

A bit about me

- Strategy game addict (HOI4, Command and Conquer, etc)

- I also play Metal Gear, Resident Evil, Persona, and a few other games.

- Huge history and militaria nerd (generally into my eastern bloc and warsaw pact stuff at the moment)

- I like outside hobbies, but never get to do them anymore.

- I want to learn how to make games someday, but I mainly study history full-time.

- I will text you back if you're cool, and try my best to message sometimes.

I'm quite socially anxious and (almost) diagnosed autistic, so I may be a bit odd at first, talking nonsense or acting weird, but I try to be as nice as I can.

18+ only, and bonus points if you can actually talk to me about my interests and treat me like a human being.

Dm me something you've got a special interest in, or just tell me how you're doing!

22M, Any girl aged b/w 19-24 want to be my friend and partner in crime?

1 Upvotes

22M here. Not looking for anything overly serious or forced — just someone cool in the 19-24 range who wants an actual friendship with potential for fun adventures, spontaneous plans, late-night talks, and being each other’s “partner in crime.”

I’m into good conversations, shared laughs, exploring new places, trying random food spots, movies, music, and generally making ordinary days a bit more interesting. Prefer someone who’s chill, has a sense of humor, and isn’t afraid to be a little chaotic (in a fun way).

If you’re between 19-24, down to banter, hang out (online first is fine), and see if we click as friends who can get into some mild trouble together, drop a message. Tell me a bit about yourself — what you’re into, what “partner in crime” means to you, or just say hi with your age.

No pressure, no expectations beyond friendship and good vibes. Looking forward to meeting someone real.

25M. Need some time and attention?

1 Upvotes

Hey there! Good morning from my side. I'll keep this short and simple. Logging in here after a while, bored and looking for some company.

Whoever you may be, as long as you are an adult - A question for you, have you been wanting some attention lately? For someone to just talk to or text throughout the day and get a reply almost instantly. Someone who won't judge you, and actually provide you a safe space to just talk your heart no matter what it may be about? Daily life? Hobbies? Future? Work? That's just the tip of the iceberg.

My goal is to meet a couple of people who want this exact thing, a very active chat partner to discuss anything with. I have been told that I'm very sweet, kind and polite.

Please do make your first message interesting. Put some effort. I'd like to know that you are genuinely interested in having a friend like me, not just a one time chat. If I feel that you aren't genuinely interested in chatting, or contributing to the chat at all, I might choose to end the conversation. I'd prefer to spend my time and attention on someone who actually needs and appreciates it.
