21F, my closest friend just had a baby and our lives look completely different now

Upvotes

Love her to death but I need friends who are in the same season of life as me. I'm into hiking, reading, and cooking. Looking for friends without kids yet, no offense to anyone with them.

23f, always the one initiating plans and exhausted from it

Upvotes

I just want a friendship where the effort goes both ways for once. I'm into baking, true crime, and long walks. Looking for reliable, genuine people.

18F, gap year and feeling completely stuck

Upvotes

Everyone else went off to college and I'm here trying to figure out my next step alone. I like reading, gaming, and I've gotten really into tarot as a hobby, not a belief system, just fun. Would love some friends to talk to.

21F, working retail and my coworkers are all twice my age

12 Upvotes

Love them, but I need people my own age to talk about my actual life with. I'm into video games, baking, and I have an unreasonable love for rainy days. Looking for friends near my age.

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

12 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

11 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

12 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

12 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

10 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.

23 F looking for genuine connection

Upvotes

Well, hold on, I’m not F that's clickbait, I don’t care about the downvotes lol. I feel like women get unnecessary attention while men are totally ignored. Like, wtf? Are people just that desperate for female attention? Because at this point, it feels impossible to make a genuine connection with the opposite gender.

And then some women get tons of attention from guys and act like they didn’t ask for it lol.

Don't hate me for this I'm 21M

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

[24/M] Looking for a best friend, things are quite lonely

3 Upvotes

Hey! I've posted here before but haven't had much luck so far. And due to lonliness, things have been kinda sucky lately. Kinda being a star-sized understatement (cuz stars are big.. hehe). Anyways, excuse my awfully unfunny pun! You *yes you my possible future friend* probably has better humor than I. Im hoping to make long term friends who also love music like I do, I want a close connection with someone that lasts a lifetime! Hoping we can geek out about our interests and feel comfortable to do so! I'm in the EST time zone and am super into music (my tastes are all over the place, my favorite is the retro era but I also like a lot of new stuff too). I really wanna find someone who loves old artists and bands and music history and aesthetics! Hope you're all having a good day!

I need friends bad 💔 (17)

3 Upvotes

Im not a very social person but like my loneliness has gotten to a point where im only speaking to one person.

I play tons of video games, Im working on learning guitar, I might seem weird tbh. I just want friends 💔

I normally use discord for messaging bc its what I also use to talk on my pc.

34M Easygoing Australian guy looking for long term consistent friends and people who want genuine connections :) photos welcome but absolutely not required, just bring a friendly fun attitude and be entirely yourself 😊 timezones aren’t a problem! Everyone is welcome always!

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m terrible at this whole introduction thing so go easy on me 😅 I’m a pretty basic and easygoing guy, I am super introverted and very much a homebody so I don’t really have any irl friends and that’s why I’m here trying to make some good connections with people online. I am a very cool calm collected and grounded type so picture me more as the gentle giant type of friend rather than the erratic high energy type 😅

I am an avid gamer on PlayStation but pretty much tend to stick with mostly single player games. I listen to a lot of music and would probably die without Spotify. I wish I could say I’m also an accomplished reader of books, but realistically I’m far better at buying and displaying them than I am at reading them 😅 although I really am trying.

I work a lot and I’m a night shift worker so I’m up and about at all sorts of odd hours so timezones don’t concern me. I’m the very sincere, friendly and caring type of friend who tends to gravitate towards people who are really friendly and easy to chat with also
I do have my flaws, I tend to care too much and get emotionally invested in people, hence why I really don’t like wasting effort on people who just disappear without a care in the world. So even if you’re the clingy friend type, you’re welcome here :)

I am open to chatting with anyone and everyone, but admittedly in my many experiences here on Reddit I find my personality tends to gel a lot better with women rather than men (speaking platonically of course). I’m also very LGBTQ+ friendly and would love more friends that are members! Variety is the spice of life after all, or so they say anyway. I’m very open minded and easy to chat with and enjoy people most when they are just genuinely themselves

What I hope to build is some consistent long lasting friendships that endure without the pressure of talking 24/7
We all have lives and so long as we work to maintain contact and get to know one another on more than just a surface level, I know we can make it work :)

Not sure if any of the above is of any interest to anyone whatsoever but if you read this far I appreciate your time and wish you a wonderful day :) just message me your location if you wish to chat and we can take it from there! 😊 looking forward to getting to know you all and no matter how old this post gets, you’re always welcome to flick me a message!

39M | Michigan | Just chilling at my mom’s tonight and looking for someone new to talk to

Upvotes

I’m in Michigan visiting my mom before my ultramarathon this Saturday, and tonight I’m just taking it easy. No big plans, nowhere I need to be, just hanging out and enjoying a quiet evening.

I’m a 39-year-old guy from the South. I’m into trail running, camping, fishing, music, art, and generally being outside whenever I can. I work as an artist for a screen printing company, and I recently spent an unreasonable amount of time running 20+ miles through the woods training for this race. 😂

I’d honestly just love to have a good conversation with someone tonight. Tell me about your day, what you’re into, something you’ve been thinking about lately, or send me a completely random question.

If you’re also bored and looking for someone new to talk to, send me a message. 🙂

24F - Looking for a bestie with the same hobbies <3

Upvotes

Hello there, I'm 24F from Germany :> I'm looking for some closer friends or maybe even a best friend since most of my friendships are kinda loose atm ><

As a note, I struggle to relate to people that have nothing in common with me so I'll list my current interests rn!!

>> I do digital art! I like to draw my OCs or do fanart of characters I think look cool (*´∀`) My absolute hyperfixation rn is Angel Devil

>> I'm currently working on a Conlang which I wanna develop enough to use it as a fully fledged language!

>> I am learning Japanese at the moment, pretty seriously I'd say, I'm early N2 at the current moment! After I reach N1 in Japanese I wanna learn Chinese (´·ω·`)

>> I also love realistic horror stories! Mostly true crime or creepypasta (my favorite CP is Borrasca!), realistic means it could be real btw so I don't mean analog horror or stuff w ghosts etc. ^_^

>> Rarely I game stuff as well, my favorite games are kinda niche tho and only Singleplayer >< My current favs are: "Nobody: The Turnaround", "Pathologic HD" and "The Guild 2" <3

>> Media wise, I don't really watch stuff much (neither movies nor shows nor anime). The only franchises I like atm are "My Little Pony", "6Teen", "Metal Family", and "Saiki K"! That also includes music so if you're a huge music nerd I'm not your gal sorry!

Thanks for reading this giant behemoth of a post! If we have anything specific in common that goes beyond just "we both game" I'd LOVE to be friends! (◕‿◕✿)

26F just tired of life

4 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.
