23 f [24 super soon] looking for a best friend:))
I’ve been extremely introverted for most of my life fr, and honestly, putting myself out there and trying to meet new people has never been something that comes naturally to me. But lately, I’ve realized that I don’t want to keep living in my own little bubble. I want more people in my life. I want connections that actually feel meaningful. So… here goes nothing. 😅
I’m looking for a friend. Maybe even a best friend someday. Something genuine and real. No pretending to be someone you’re not, no weird games, no forced conversations, and no pressure to fit some specific idea of what a friendship is supposed to look like. Just two people being themselves and genuinely enjoying having each other around.
We don't have to have everything in common.. dead ass You can introduce me to the music you love, the games you play, the shows that consume your entire personality, your hobbies, your weird little interests, or some random topic you could talk about for three hours if someone gave you the chance. I want to know what makes you you.
I love the little things that make friendships feel personal. Someone saying good morning or goodnight just because they thought of you. Getting a random “OH MY GOD, I just saw this and immediately thought of you.” Hearing about how your day went, even if absolutely nothing interesting happened. Sending each other stupid memes. Telling me about something that made you laugh so hard you cried. Sharing an embarrassing childhood story that you haven't thought about in ten years. Showing me a song that means something to you. Telling me about a piece of media that completely changed the way you see the world.
Stg I want the kind of friendship where eventually we have a ridiculous collection of inside jokes that would make absolutely no sense to anyone else. Where we can have serious conversations one day and then spend the next five hours talking absolute nonsense. Where you can randomly message me because you have a thought and you know I’ll actually want to hear it.
More than anything, I want consistency. I don't mean talking 24/7 or being glued to your phone. I have a life too, and I understand that people get busy, need space, disappear for a little while, or simply don't have the energy to talk sometimes. I’m not asking someone to sacrifice their life for a friendship. I just want someone who genuinely wants to come back.
And when I say I want someone who doesn't leave, I don't mean “you are obligated to stay with me forever no matter what.” shit if we don't click, we don't click. There shouldn't be guilt or pressure involved in that. Friendship should be something both people choose. If we realize we're not compatible, that's okay. I'd rather have honesty than someone forcing a friendship out of obligation.
But if we do click? I'd love for it to become something lasting. It would honestly be pretty fucking cool to meet someone who starts as a stranger on the internet and, years later, is still someone I can turn to and say, “Remember when we first met?”
I’m also going to make this very clear because I’m specifically looking for platonic friendship. I’m not looking for a partner, a situationship, a fwb situation, or someone who agrees to be my friend while secretly hoping it'll turn romantic someday. I want a friendship where we can care deeply about each other without needing it to become anything else.
Basically, I want a platonic soul tie. Someone I can genuinely get to know, and who genuinely wants to know me. Someone who feels comfortable being completely themselves around me, and who lets me do the same.
So if you're looking for that too, come say hi. Tell me something about yourself. Give me your favorite song, your current obsession, your most embarrassing childhood memory, your favorite fictional character, literally anything.
Ong Just be yourself. That's all I'm asking. Maybe we'll become friends. Maybe we'll become best friends. Maybe we'll just have one really interesting conversation. There's no pressure either way. But I'd love to find out. 🖤
