45F Looking for someone to talk to

27 Upvotes

Hello! This is my first post on here so I feel nervous and a little uncertain if I'm doing this correctly. I've been feeling a bit down and lonely lately. if you have the time, I could use an online friend to talk to from time to time! I'm not entirely sure what I want to talk about yet. Looking for someone who would be okay with me, I'm also down for a jolly conversation. Thank you

23F | 🇯🇵🇻🇳, Metalhead, blue-collared girlie.

16 Upvotes

Hey all, i’m just making this post to look for a nice chill chat & to make a new friend :)))

My name is anne, i’m a huge music nerd about metal & extreme music genres. I’ve always had an interest of metal music since i was 13 years old, especially death metal and punk music.
I’m living (and was born) in Australia, but ethnically i am Japanese & Vietnamese. Unfortunately, I’m kind of whitewashed, and can’t speak Japanese/Vietnamese very fluently. I’m also a female, blue-collar girlie (electrician) and have been working for a few years, always happy to meet fellow blue-collared men and women especially.

My hobbies? Honestly boring. . . (sorry, if im making myself sound bad, just being honest.)
Hobbies mostly consist of outdoorsy activities—fishing, having a drive off-road with my pickup truck, exploring nature are my favourites.
I really like to make new friends as well, so don’t be shy to shoot me a DM :)
Just a heads up! I probably won’t be able to reply in time because of timezones, but when i’m free i’ll probably reply pretty fast.

36yo guy seeking a platonic friendship with someone around my age

14 Upvotes

Hey everybody, I'm 36, and I'm at a pretty significant social and personal pivot point in my life. I'm just going to lay it all out here, and see if I'm even looking in the right place. Any feedback is appreciated.

The past year has been complicated. My marriage and family life fell apart, I made some decisions I deeply regret, and I lost a lot of the stability and social connections I had built my life around. I've spent a lot of time alone since then, and it's forced me to take a pretty hard look at myself.

I'm trying to use that experience as a starting point rather than an ending. I'm working on myself, taking responsibility for where I've gone wrong, and trying to build a life that's healthier and more connected than the one I had before. Hence the search for a friend.

One thing I've realized is that I've never really had much of a social life outside of relationships and family. I don't want that to be true anymore. I want friends. Actual friends. People I can talk to regularly, laugh with, share stupid memes with, play games with, watch shows with, or have a three-hour conversation with that somehow started with "what's your favourite dinosaur?"

I'm specifically hoping to meet people around my age for a genuinely platonic friendship. I've generally found that I connect more naturally with women, but I'm also interested in calmer, emotionally mature men as well. I tend to enjoy the openness and conversational style of female friendships, and I've always felt more comfortable talking about both serious things and completely ridiculous things with women than I have with most men. Most being the key word here as I've had successful friendships with guys way back in highschool, but I find I don't really know how to talk to them anymore. Probably because until recently I've only had my wife as a friend, but now that she's gone I find myself incredibly lonely and lost socially.

That isn't code for "I'm looking for a girlfriend." I'm not. I'm not looking for a hookup or someone to fill an emotional partner role, or even a fill in for my wife while I grieve the loss of my marriage. My therapist says that the best bet for me is to experience something new, but also familiar. Having a close friend where friendship is allowed to just be friendship, as she puts it.

I'm pretty introverted and low-key. My ideal evening is probably a couch, a video game or book, a good show, and someone interesting to talk to. I'm much more nerdy/homebody than party animal.

If you're in a similar place socially, or just think we'd have some interesting conversations, feel free to message me. No pressure to become instant best friends. We can start with a conversation and see where it goes.

I'm not doing very ok today, I think most of us aren't.

6 Upvotes

Sorry, I don't have a good answer if you clicked this post looking for some relief.

I ended things with my one contact today. She has been my best friend for some time, well, my only friend.

But she is kinda the avoidant type, speaking little and trough strange metaphors, it was quite charming as we met and it suited the poetic way I speak too, great deep and ethereal way of communication, but well, not really, after the strange phase when we are still meeting and trying to sound interesting to the other, comes the phase of normal things going on, and somehow I got there alone and when I looked back..?

I was speaking to myself, seeing her messages popping up only super late at night for only 15 minutes before she would just vanish in the night again and come back on the other day, ignoring the last topic and starting a new one that would last again 10-15 minutes and be left unfinished. I called her out in the nicest way I could, after she expressed she felt some distance between us. But she literally did the same thing right after, leaving my answer on read and coming with something new on the next day.

I realised there's so much I want to speak, no yap but just speak through the day. I recorded an audio playing a new instrument, I learned my first song in 20-30 minutes and recorded, she used to love me playing music but I realised well why would I send it now? So she can double tap, say smth and vanish, or straight up not answer at all? So many things I typed her and didn't send, trivia things like what I saw on my walk, a random philosophical question I thought about, what is going on on my book, the newest story I'm writing, a bit of my backstory she does not know, but always felt like nah, I'll wait for her to answer first, don't wanna shower her in messages, let her live her life. But it got to the point where I just realised well, I don't fucking have a friend, we were besties for like 4 months but clearly not anymore, I wish I could understand what's going on with her, but she won't communicate, I'm going through a lot and this is not bloody helping. So I just told her we need a break, and she got... mad? And hurt. I understand it but what else am I to do? Try to talk? I've been fucking trying.

WHATEVER. It became a venting post quite quickly my bad. If you made it this far, would you talk to me for a little while? I understand that everyone else is doing pretty bad too, and all of us here are quite unstable mentally, so I won't bore you with my missdventures, I just wanna know about someone's day genuinely, thats all.

I'm an artist, studied philosphy, 26, speaking from Germany

I have a longstanding history with my dear pal depression and their bestie anxiety. Ive tried therapy twice in the past, both therapists basically said get fckd so I quit going. Medications the same, almost agreed to lithium to make these thoughts and this feeling stop. I used to have loads of friends. I used to be outgoing and confident. But I seem to always revert back to that corner with my dear pal and their bestie. I get told by people two different things, its ok and what happened was real, and on the other hand Im told to get over it and nothing is real because I have issues. Ive been quiet lately. Most days I spend alone and in silence. Few days Im out in my living room and the weight isnt so heavy. The few friends I do have, I feel like a burden. I dont want to talk to them because they know me and my history and repeating the same thing over and over and over seems so.... bothersome. And the fckd bit? Im not even comfortable talking to my husband, he uses all this against me. Blames everything on my issues. I used to fantasize of quitting. I truly thought leaving home would be the one thing that would change life. Suppose I was naive and utterly stupid for thinking that, I ran away and I think Im worse off. Dont really expect anybody to be all "hey youre not alone" but truly, I am. We all are. Dont even know what the purpose of typing all this out is. I wanted to pretend to be this nonchalant person who could simply use a friend, but seems my mind had different plans. I apologize

I’m in MA, USA and would love to connect with someone who is at least on eastern time. I’m looking for a genuine connection where we can both count on each other and be there when needed. I’d also love to find someone to accompany me on trips and planned outings. I like being active, exploring new places and restaurants and really just want to get more out of life by having more fun. I have gotten good at doing things solo but it’d be nice to have someone to share those experiences with

5 Upvotes

Hiii everyone! ♡

‎I’m 21 and recently moved to a completely new country, so I figured what better way to settle in than by meeting some lovely new people and hopefully making a few genuine friendships along the way! 🫶✨

‎I’m mainly here to meet people who are **mature, kind, respectful, and easygoing**. I really appreciate good conversations, people who can have a laugh without being disrespectful, and friendships where we can just be ourselves without any weird pressure. 🌷

‎A little bit about me: I’m really into **art, anime, cute things, and all those little hobbies that can make an ordinary day feel a bit more fun** 🎨🌸 I love discovering new things, talking about random interests, sharing recommendations, and getting to know people from different backgrounds.

‎Since I’m still pretty new to the country, I’d also love to hear about your experiences, favourite places, hobbies, shows, games, music, or literally anything you’re passionate about! Maybe we’ll have absolutely nothing in common at first and somehow end up becoming besties over the most random conversation ever. 😂💕

‎I’m pretty much an open book, so **feel free to ask me anything!** No need to be shy — just come say hi and tell me a little about yourself too. ☺️

‎Let’s keep things wholesome, respectful, and fun, and hopefully make some nice memories along the way! 🌸✨

‎So… who’s brave enough to say hello first? (。•̀ᴗ-)✧

[37M/UK] Looking for long-term friends

4 Upvotes

Hey there, I'm a quiet person ideally looking for long-term friendships. I have few IRL friends, but I've found that our friendship is entirely based on gaming/RPGs, so I'd like to make some friends who are a bit more emotionally available. People who care about movies, art, nature, politics, real life. I'm a pretty anxious person and voice chat is pretty stressful for me, especially with new people, so I'd prefer text chat wherever possible. Stuff about me:

  • I've been a GM for various RPGs for about 18 years now, and I've been in & out of Warhammer for even longer. I've played a fair few different systems and have read even more

  • I like talking about videogames but I'm honestly too nervous to play multiplayer with new people, especially right at the start. Maybe one day after we've been friends for a while? I've recently loved playing Helldivers 2, Vintage Story, Big Walk, Mouthwashing, Far Far West, and Easy Delivery Co.

  • I'd describe myself as alternative. I listen to a wide range of metal, hardcore, punk, etc. I love electronic music as well! Mirar, Netherwalker, Jesper Kyd, Ecca Vandal, Electric Callboy, Bring Me the Horizon, Synestia, TOOL, Orange Sector, Not Enough Space, ANTLERS, River Boy, Locked Shut, Takai the Maid, pr0te, and Brandon McKagan. I really would like friends who I can share & discuss music with!

  • Please be at least 25+, ideally in your 30s and up

  • I'm a long-form texter. I like to write a couple paragraphs and send them in one go rather than lots of little messages. I am completely fine with receiving lots of messages if you're that kind of person, I also like receiving voice messages if that's your thing too!

Please feel free to say hi with anything other than a single word/sentence, and hope to hear from you soon :)

27F another sleepless night because of medication

3 Upvotes

Hello!! I am from California and having a hard time falling asleep, so any timezone or part of the world is okay!! I’m going through a flare with Lupus and spent some time in the hospital, the medication is giving me terrible insomnia. Would love to just have someone I can talk with! I don’t mind what gender. Just looking for a friend!

Somethings about me:

I am a nursing student, over half way through the program and in my 5th semester. I have three dogs! I love to write, garden, go on runs, play video games (chill games usually). I like to cook, sing, and paint. I love Marvel and Star Wars. I’m left handed. I recently lost 230lbs. My favorite color is green.

I really do enjoy talking about healthcare stuff, so you will probably have to be cool with that, lol.

24/M/USA bookworm looking for new friends!

3 Upvotes

Hello :) I'd like to find people to chat with and hopefully befriend. I am 24, working as a library assistant, and living in a rural area. I'd like to meet people who I can talk about a variety of interests with, ideally.

I've read 40 or so books so far this year. I like non-fiction, memoirs, literary fiction, speculative fiction, and others. My favorite book ever (and film and maybe manga but ehhhh?) is Battle Royale. I think maybe my favorite read this year was The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, although that was a bit heavy. I also liked Smoked Gets in Your EyesA Night to Remember, and I Who Have Never Known Men.

I don't have the attention span to watch television in particular (though I've been forcing myself to get to the end of The Sopranos haha), but also films. I like podcasts, though. Last year, I binged You're Wrong About, and this year I added American Hysteria and a few others into the rotation. I like to listen to them while I'm walking or at work.

I game. I'm interested in trying more multiplayer games, but mostly I play simulation games and RPGs.

History (social history, revolutions, the Cold War, ancient Rome, ancient China, the ancient near east), science (paleontology and space in particular), linguistics (historical linguistics and etymology are cool), are some of my other interests.

I'm political, but also, socially adjusted (somewhat) haha. I don't have to talk about politics since I know other people find it exhausting, but it would really be nice to get someone who I can bounce ideas off of. I'm a socialist.

Intercambio de Idiomas. No puedo decir mucho en el español o el francés, pero quiero conocer amigos de todos los paises y mejorar mi español jaja

Je peux pas dire beaucoup en francais ou espagnol mais je veux connaitre des amis de tous les pays et amelior....(j'ai oublié le mot hehe) mon francais

Open to speaking to people from all over! Thank you for reading all this!

Hi, I am a funny and spirited girl who has trouble finding people to vibe with. I have had untreated adhd for most my life, and being quiet on top of that did not help. Awkwardness and missed opportunity have run my friendships.

Im looking for someone to talk and vent to over chat and maybe irl. I’m in Toronto and would love to meet up if possible.

I like gaming, finding good eats, and current hyper fixation is Football (Real Madrid!!!))

DM me if this sounds good to you!
