The more I put myself out there the more I want to shut back down. Every interaction is meaningless, except the bad ones and those are the only ones you will remember.

I remember the guys in the big popular group from school, I used to idolize that stuff until I got to observe it closer. Every time someone was absent they'd gossip about them on a level that a group of middle aged drama queens might envy.

Is there anything genuine that isn't a family tie or goes all the way back to your childhood? Should I have secured my social and economic life in kindergarten to be okay today?

Not going great, most exchanges are just neutral and forgettable but then there are those that are negative for no reason.

Someone messaged me, a noticeably older guy with some fed flags in his profile, like marked NSFW and some kinda weird comments, nevertheless the intro was alright and I thought why not give it a shot.

The chat was very brief, maybe 10 messages which ended with him not responding.

Now days later this guy finds not a post but a comment of mine in one of these subreddits.

Under that comment he decides to go off on me for being "super dry" because I only made "one sentence" replies and "showed no interest" in him, and "that's why you can't make friends".

It sucks so much, people like this are the reason I ignore a lot of accounts who might be alright people, probably why many people ignore in general.

Now I'm paranoid that my past chats will come to haunt me like this. I've always tried to be nice to people and do my best to be interesting and to ask about them but man, people will remember, nitpick and hate you over the smallest things.

Anyone else have interactions like this, where simply getting ghosted would have been much better?

The cleaned

I've been downloading all these apps to chat with people, despite getting more and more chats it's still so quiet.

In apps with photos people literally only match by looks, there's very little interest in having anything in common.

On anonymous apps/forums then, there's very little interest at all despite common topics, cause a faceless person is so easy to replace with the next interesting one I guess?

There's no commitment when any message has a chance of being the last, and that feels so so lonely.

Being depressed it takes tremendous effort to try and portray myself in a positive light, but even that isn't enough. My days aren't interesting, my hobbies don't have much to show, what can I say or do that'll make someone stick around?

It's so hollow, and at the end of it I'm always alone with no notifications of anyone who would care.

Is it bots or are people really too lazy to write their own intro instead of giving ChatGPT some points to make it for them?

If you want people to connect with you, it might not be the best idea to remove all soul from your writing with sterile machine speech.

It's so apparent when it panders on like "Genuine connections that last and grow into something truly special, whether it's.." and so on.

Also since I'm not mentioning my gender here, I'm sure I'll get some messages from h*rny men on a post with no info about myself 🫠 this place man.

Edit - Messages got from this post: 13

Haiii ^^, I'm so very tired of the M this F this dynamic these subs have.

Whatever thirsty things you might be imagining of a 22 year old person, just think that I am the exact opposite of that.

Now with that out of the way, we can actually match up by our shared interests instead of our inherent biological attraction bias.

I enjoy photography 📷 I recently got a proper used camera and actually got a few nice shots with it for the 1-2 times I've left the house since getting it🥱

I have watched a lot of anime and am slowly and inconsistently watching more, also getting into manga but that's the same deal.

For my videogames: chill crafting/basebuilding games like Valheim, Terraria, Minecraft. I like a lot of cute/chill/2D games. Sometimes Overwatch, support main >_<

For games and anime I mostly like all kinds of fantasy with swords and magic and elves 🧝🏻

I also like mystery, maybe lightly psychological or political.

Never smoked, I don't drink or use substances, avoid meds wherever I can.

---

I like people who will message at least a couple times a day, the best thing is if we can sometimes chat in "real time" just both of us there chatting away without distractions, that's the best way for me to get to know people.

I like people who are honest, loyal, not arrogant. I'll be there for a friend anytime if they just ask, I hope you'd be the same kind of person 😇

---

I don't wanna seem arrogant myself but with how this site is I gotta mention some criteria for getting a reply 🤧

- Mention your age and a bit about yourself/why you messaged me

- Obvious NSFW stuff on your profile = red flag

- 1 Karma / No contributions = a yellow flag

- Don't immediately ask for my name, discord or gender.

- Don't ask for pictures of me.

Strictly SFW. For the purpose of conversation you can consider me asexual, I don't wish to talk about any of that stuff with people I don't know.

I feel so lonely most days and it's so hard to click with people. Does anyone know a sub or platform for meeting people while being gender-anonymous?

On these platforms it's all M this F this. If you don't mention your gender you get all the spam from thirsty men, if you mention you're an M no one cares about your post.

So is there a place to actually find people by common interests which is intro/dm oriented? It would feel a bit weird to just message random people from subs I like.

Maybe it's just my forgetfulness, I was very active here at the start of the sub and through every major controversy so it's not like I don't know the extent of his stupidity.

Now though the few clips I see from here he looks a bit better and it feels more like he's actually trying to stick to his own little wordle-corner instead of being an active lolcow.

I don't think he's earned to get back any of the fame or friendships he burned, but if he really just wants to stream some random shit to 50 people without humiliating himself any further maybe that's a sort of relative W for him.

I know Anisa will drag him into something in the future and I'll be here for that spiral, these are just my current thoughts.

Hii. I like videogames and photography, occasionally watch shows or anime. Lowkey interested in technology, history, fantasy worlds, probably some other stuff I can't come up with rn.

I've always been calm. I'm tired every day in the summer even when I sleep alright. It's really hard to make new friends irl so I'm trying here.

Feeling lonely and hoping someone might want to chat about our (shared?) interests or just how our days go. If we hit it off maybe we could play something too (PC).

I prefer someone who asks questions but also leaves room for me to ask, you know a balanced conversation. Also would be nice if you have time to answer at least a couple times on most days.

I never randomly block people, my DMs are always open even (or especially?) if we had a previous chat that ended for some reason.

Only interested in SFW discussions which are anonymous, might open up more if we do become friends.

Gender, age and location don't matter much as long as you're honest.

Thanks for reading I hope you'll message me and please tell a little about yourself! ^^

I live in your walls with a dozen seagulls, do you hear their sweet caws at night? How they whisper of the end times?

The seagulls judge you to your core and soul, their will is absolute. How will you fare?

I'm chronically tired for like most of every summer and the only things that help me are grinding MMORPGs and having nice conversations, so this is my invitation to you

I gravitate towards activities which lull down my thoughts to something hazy and sweet so I'm not thinking about expectations or existential questions. I'm quiet but can yap through text in certain moods (tweaking).

I like a variety of videogames, shows, anime, trying to get into manga. I also like photography but it's hard to do much with it when you're just at home. I think I should emphasize that I've watched quite a lot of anime so we probably have something in common unless it's a total genre mismatch.

My eyes are lowkey burning but it also makes me feel kinda wise (I'm probably not) to have 24/7 nonchalant aura farming gaze (alone in my room)

---

What am I looking for?

• Quality > quantity, I stopped messaging with a bajillion random people and things got a lot more interesting so I'm looking for someone similar, have some time and commitment to at least see if we hit it off.

• Ideally we have common interests or you don't mind yapping about our own stuff, I can tell you what I'm doing in Maplestory (Korean gacha game) if you really wanna hear it but yk most people won't really care.

• I honestly don't mean to leave people unanswered but I sometimes get carried away with something, you can message me anytime or ask me to stay and chat with you (I'll most likely have time). I prefer "real-time" chats when getting to know people tbh.

---

Misc info about me:

• I have weird/random inside jokes.
• I don't drink or smoke or anything like that, I hate taking substances/meds in general.
• I like to explain/teach things.
• I like to sing (alone)

If you read all this way you might as well message me! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Hii I'm looking for friends who'll stick around!

&#x200B;

I have been described as quiet, observant and kind, at least I try to be >_<

&#x200B;

I like videogames, shows/anime, photography, then I'm interested in a variety of topics but I can't really think of them all rn

&#x200B;

I'm a 21 M mentioning it down here so I know who actually read this or not haha. Please don't be a creep or send NSFW..

&#x200B;

Also I don't drink or smoke if anyone cares about that but to me it doesn't matter what you do if you're a nice person haha

&#x200B;

Tell me something we have in common! Can't wait to chat with you 🙃

I'm lost in life and the only thing I cling to rn is a Korean gacha game >_<

&#x200B;

Haha jk, well not really but I feel fine(n't) most of the time

&#x200B;

Ok, let's talk business:

&#x200B;

TRADE OFFER 🫴🏻 ⚠️

&#x200B;

LET'S EXCHANGE SOME WORDS AND SEE IF OUR WORDS MAKE NON-NEGATIVE FEELINGS

&#x200B;

⬆️ (Terms and conditions apply)*

&#x200B;

Anyway, I feel like a hollywood writer with the 🗑️ I'm spilling right now.

&#x200B;

(The secret word is MANGROVE)

&#x200B;

I should probably mention that I um well I um well the, the when, when the, the, wh,

&#x200B;

The

&#x200B;

That I like videoagmes, animeoi, shows and what's the third(4th?) thing everyone says? Idk migbt not exist.

&#x200B;

I'm trying to confuse you, it's not deliberate but it is inevitable (or the other way around)

&#x200B;

Anyway anyone can message me and roll the dice whether we click

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

People keep leaving. I can tell I'm a way more stable and nice person than I used to be, but I used to be more extroverted and would say things I now consider cringe.

&#x200B;

I feel so much better about myself but reactions from others seem like the opposite, it's like I'm the most uninteresting person ever now.

&#x200B;

So many people say they just want someone nice and understanding and who's there for you when you need it but that's never what it's really about. They want an entertainer or a love interest.

&#x200B;

You'd think having a mild personality would make it easy to click with most people but it really isn't, you get along with them and then they move on because your impression was so nonexistent that they'll barely remember you.

Hi! I'm just looking for a friendship where messaging won't just stop or become awkward, you know where you have to wonder if you should double text cause they're not answering at all?

Doesn't have to be every day, people get busy but it feels like a lot of people aren't even open to chatting no matter when you message them..

With that out of the way, your age/time zone/gender don't really matter as long as you're fine with mine! I don't have many dislikes.

My interests:

Photography, Photo/Video Editing

Shows, Movies, Anime/Manga

History, Economy, Health

Videogames:

Chill crafting games (Minecraft, Valheim, Terraria, V Rising, etc.)

Competitive games with friends (Mainly Overwatch, support main!)

Fantasy (Skyrim, Dark Souls, Elden Ring)

MMORPGs (Maplestory, WoW, Trove)

If you read this far message me with something we have in common! 🙃

Not really, I just like being dramatic

I used to have so many people to chat with as a teen, I know it didn't really help me and just gave me social media burnout and lots of anxiety but damn do I still miss it.

For so long it's been nothing, there's never a message anywhere I log in, especially not unprompted. All I deal with is technology and annoying pop-ups and forced advertising and ughh.

I don't think humans were designed for this kind of living

Ok I'm a calm and introverted guy but sometimes I just need to write paragraphs of nonsense and send it to someone.

With that out of the way I'm looking for long term friends who don't care how much I message them and who might occasionally message me unprompted too.

I'm getting tired of changing people and dead texts I just want someone who stays even if there's nothing special going on, cause isn't that what friendship is about?

I have played a lot of games (usually too low energy to play more than 1 at a time) so we probably have something in common. Same with shows and anime.

Idk why but I tend to click best with depresesd people, they're always the most interesting.

Like I don't give af if someone has cool hobbies and friends and live love laugh ughh.. but when someone comes to me saying they just played something for 8 hours straight, that means something. That's an achievement I respect.

Please message me there's nothing to lsoe.
