27[F4A]US Eastern Time disabled cringefail — I’d like a genuine friend I don’t have to mask my dysfunction from
Hi 👋☺️
It’d be nice to find someone I could feel genuinely close to & could hop on a vc with to talk to every now and then :)
If we could game together too, that’d be a plus, but it’s not a big deal if gaming’s not your thing.
I’m tired of having to mask just how unusual/lonely my life is compared to the average person’s. I have a few friends, but they only know some of my struggles & I try to downplay my issues with them when I can bc I just want to be seen as “normal” so I’ll be treated normally by them 😅 It’d be nice to have a friend who actually gets it. Who I don’t have to be ashamed with or feel like I’m constantly performing normalcy around.
I deal with chronic low energy & motivation. I’m kind of boring 😅 I don’t do that much in a given week bc of my energy levels. Also, I deal with memory issues, so sometimes I can’t remember details about my favorite media or bits of conversations I’ve had, so please don’t get upset with me for that.
There will probably be some times where I don’t message back for a day or 2 bc of my energy levels (having to sometimes use my limited energy on responsibilities saps me). It’s not personal. Please don’t message me if you’re hoping we’ll talk a bunch every single day. I can’t manage that 😅 I try to reply at *least* once a day, but every now & then there’s a day where I can’t manage it. Though there will be spans where I reply fast throughout a day if I’m having a good energy day :)
While I love gaming, I’m actually pretty bad it 😅 I grew up with only a Wii in my house & didn’t get a gaming PC until last year. My reflexes are slow.
🚫 Do not message me trying to flirt please. I will block you & you’ll have misspent your time. I’m obese (3X clothing size) & kinda ugly anyway, so I am not who you’re looking for. (I’m not fishing for compliments, so don’t hmu with some “but you’re probably still cute anyway” stuff. I just like people to know what they’re getting into when it comes to talking with me since some people find obesity off-putting, even in someone who’d just be a friend. If you’re down to share fitness tips, I’d appreciate it, as I’m starting a weight loss journey.) I’m just looking for platonic friends :)
To check how much of this you’ve actually read, include the word “acorn” in your DM for bonus points.
I can’t even post to NEETr4r to look for friends, because I do a bit of part-time work every few weeks (like 3-8 days a month, with more over the summer bc I work at a summer camp). That got me barred from the sub bc I was upfront about it. So here I am, posting into the void knowing it likely won’t lead anywhere, but trying is better than nothing.
If you’ve made it this far, a gold star for you: ⭐️ Thanks for being open to connecting with me ☺️
I’m looking for people who want to game together with vc or who are happy to just hop on vc and chitchat about our lives from time to time. Let’s keep each-other company & brighten our existence through ✨the power of friendship✨😝 (Kids’ shows apparently had it right all along. Friendship IS the ultimate answer 🙂↕️)
I’d love to make some friends I could try out “friendslop” games with (like Peak). Or play Stardew Valley with. Also if you’re willing to help me learn Phasmophobia, Lethal Company, or other fun multiplayer games that aren’t FPS, that’d be awesome 😊 A reminder warning: while I love gaming, I’m actually pretty bad at it.
I’m into story-focused games (Supermassive’s stuff, Telltale, Slay the Princess), cozy games (mainly Stardew), horror media of all kinds, fantasy, sci-fi, and TTRPGs (mainly Call of Cthulhu, but D&D is cool too). My favorite video games are Hades 2 & Pyre.
My favorite book series is The Stormlight Archive.
My favorite movies are The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Asteroid City, & The Princess Bride. My favorite TV show of all time is Midnight Mass. (Really hoping Mike Flanagan gets back to writing & directing weird Netflix shows once he’s done with Carrie.) Lately, I’ve been watching the show Evil & keeping up with Survivor. (Also watched The Pitt as it came out.) I’m also slowly reading through The House in Fata Morgana.
If you’re down to chat about horror media, gaming, the nature of consciousness, moral relativism, fantasy books, movies & TV, &/or cats, hmu ☺️ If my issues didn’t scare you off, I’d be happy to get to know you :)
Please include age, sex, and timezone. I’d prefer folks between 25 & 32, but I’m willing to make exceptions. I’m LGBTQ+ friendly, so don’t worry about that being an issue. Please keep it sfw & don’t act entitled. Thanks :)
