The more you learn,

the harder it becomes to love blindly.

Because you notice the pauses

between someone’s words,

the change in their voice,

the little ways they pull away

before they ever say goodbye.

The more you’ve been hurt,

the more carefully you love.

You recognize the warning signs

that once looked like butterflies.

You know when affection

is only loneliness wearing perfume.

You know when “I need you”

really means “I need someone.”

The more mature you become,

the less you romanticize pain.

You stop calling inconsistency

“mystery.”

You stop calling distance

“independence.”

You stop calling the bare minimum

“love.”

And the more alone you’ve been,

the more comfortable you become

with your own silence.

So someone can come along

with pretty words

and warm hands,

and still—

you see everything.

You see the cracks.

The contradictions.

The things they don't say.

The things they don't even notice

about themselves.

And sometimes I wonder

if being wiser

is just another way

of becoming harder to reach.

Because ignorance makes love easy.

You can fall

without looking down.

But when you've survived enough,

when you've learned enough,

when you've spent enough nights

putting yourself back together—

you look before you leap.

And suddenly,

falling in love

doesn't feel like falling anymore.

It feels like

standing at the edge

of a cliff,

knowing exactly

how much it will hurt

if you fall.

Heyy! I’m 15 and I’m looking to make some new friends, preferably around 14–16. I’m open to people from Europe or honestly anywhere!

A little about me:

- I like writing ✍️

- I watch anime sometimes — romance is probably my favorite genre, but I also like action. I think Blue Lock is pretty cool too

- I’m interested in learning languages and learning about different cultures

- I’m just looking for people I can actually talk to, get to know, and hopefully become good friends with :)

Please don’t DM me if you’re 17 or 18+. I’m only looking for people around 14–16, so please respect that.

If you’re around my age and want to talk discord: pixls1n

I am learning Dutch as a beginner and at first I thought it was easy but my pronunciation is so bad and it's so hard Dutch is a beautiful language and i would like to go to Netherlands one day so I'm trying to learn Dutch “Alsjeblieft„..... this genuinely looks like gibberish to me😭 and it's so hard to pronounce there's any Dutch person do you have any tips?

​

Okay, fuck it. I’m posting this because I genuinely want some new friends.

I’m 15F, and I’m mainly looking for people around 15–17. I’d preferably like friends from Europe or the United States, mostly because I think it’d be cool to meet people from different places and maybe have friends from places I’d like to visit someday.

A little about me

I’m not gonna dump my entire life story onto Reddit because, respectfully, I don't know y’all like that yet 😭. I’d rather tell you more about myself once we actually start talking and I know I can trust you.

I can be pretty chaotic once I’m comfortable, and I swear quite a bit, so if you're easily offended by a “what the fuck” every five minutes, I might not be your person 💀.

I’m looking for actual friendship, not someone who talks to me for three days and then disappears into the fucking void.

I’d love someone who:

- Actually knows how to keep a conversation going

- Can joke around but also have serious conversations

- Isn’t weird about age

- Doesn’t expect me to immediately tell them everything about myself

- Is around my age

- Doesn’t mind random messages about completely stupid things

- Is willing to actually get to know each other instead of just exchanging “hey” and “wyd” forever

One important boundary: I’m not looking to make friends from India. I’ve personally had several bad experiences, so I’d rather avoid that situation. I know that doesn’t represent everyone, and I’m not trying to insult Indian people; it’s simply a boundary I’m more comfortable with because of my own experiences. Please respect it instead of turning the comments into an argument.

Also, please don't DM me if you're over 17.

Anyway, that's me putting myself out there. Fuck it. Let's see what happens.

​

Looking for friends 14–16, preferably from Europe, the US, or honestly wherever the hell you are. I like writing novels, watching movies and anime, and I’m fucking obsessed with horror. I also play Roblox, so if you play, we can fuck around on there together. I’ve had some bad experiences with people from India, so I’d rather not repeat that shit again. And seriously, if you’re 17, 18, or fucking 45, DO NOT DM ME on Discord. I’m looking for people around my age, not whatever the hell that is.

LOOKING FOR FRIENDS!!

I'm looking for people around 14–16 who actually wanna TALK and make friends, not just say “hey” and disappear into the fucking void 😭

A little about me:

• I like singing 🎤

• I draw sometimes (I'm not saying I'm GOOD at it 💀)

• I love movies + anime

• I'm pretty active on Snapchat & Discord

• I LOVE random conversations, joking around, sending stupid shit, talking about literally anything, etc.

I'm mainly looking for people from the US or Europe, but honestly idc where you're from as long as we get along.

PLEASE actually wanna talk. I'm looking for friends who can chat often, have fun, send random messages, and not make every conversation feel like a job interview 😭

14–16 ONLY. If you're 17, 18, 19, etc. don't DM me.

Also NOT looking for a relationship, just friends.

If you're funny, chaotic, have hobbies, and can actually hold a conversation, come say hi 💀

Hey! I’m 15F from Malaysia, and I’m looking for some genuine friends, preferably from Europe (14–16 only).

A little about me: I like writing, anime, movies, music, badminton, and just talking about random shit that happens during the day. I’m also really interested in hearing about people’s lives, hobbies, cultures, and what things are like where they live.

I’m not looking for some super intense friendship immediately. I’d rather just talk, get to know each other naturally, and see where it goes. Everything is an experience, right?

One thing though: please actually interact 😭 I don’t want to be the only person carrying the entire conversation. If you genuinely want a friend to talk to about hobbies, daily life, random thoughts, stupid jokes, etc., then we’ll probably get along.

I’m NOT looking for someone to become my therapist, and I’m not expecting you to dump your entire life story on me after five minutes either. We can talk about deeper stuff once we actually know each other.

If you’re genuinely looking for a friend and not just someone to kill five minutes with, DM me on Discords : pixls1n

14–16 only, please. I’m specifically looking for people from Europe because I’d love to experience different cultures and perspectives. :)

Also, please introduce yourself instead of just saying “hi” 😭

​

I'm just looking for genuine friends who actually want to talk.

I'm tired of always being the one who has to text first. I don't expect instant replies because everyone gets busy, but it'd be nice to have friends who message me too, send random memes, ask how my day was, or just check in sometimes.

If you're looking for a real friendship where the effort goes both ways, feel free to reach out.

Discord: "pixls1n" nd btw I'm 15 so I'm just looking for people around my age

୨୧ hii !!

i'd especially love to meet more girl friends because somehow i always end up getting messages from guys 😭

i'm into KATSEYE (yoonchae 🫶 but honestly i love all the members), romance movies, anime, i read sometimes, and i play roblox!! mostly dress to impress, but i'm down to try other games too 𐙚

i'm the type of friend who'll hype you up if you have a crush, a boyfriend, or you're just excited about something. i also love random late-night chats and talking about literally anything ♡

hopefully we become long-term friends, but if we only end up talking for a while, that's okay too!!

Hi I'm 15 and last night at 11:45 pm I decided that I wanted to end it and and I made a post and post it on Reddit I honestly don't expect anything and less then seconds the post got 14.3k views and comments I have got a lot of chat request and the first person to ever reach out to me is Ajax1507 I cried a lot last night I read many comments some from people that were worried about me some were from people to had gone through the same thing as me and telling me there is still hope I was deciding between if I should do it or not and I saw this one particular comment by a user Zoe2000000 I stopped for a moment tears still falling down my cheeks I don't know how to describe it but something inside me told me not to do it I put my phone down took a cold shower and went to sleep the next day I woke up and it's today it's Monday I'm supposed to go to school but I cried so much from last night that my eyes were so swollen to the point I couldn't even open them I never expected so much love from the internet maybe that's a weird thing to say but strangers words can be so powerful I cannot express how much support and love I felt from words of total strangers as I'm writing this I can hear my dad arguing every time and everytime I hear my parents argue i feels so guilty to be alive anyways I have decided not end it thank you for reading this

Honestly I hate living in this house hold if I'm gone for even 2 minutes I'm just enjoying my time alone as soon as I got my room the hall is a mess everywhere trash are everywhere the kitchen is dirty no matter how many times I told him not to do it they still don't f\*\*\*\*\*\* listen to make a mess I hate having siblings genuinely sometimes I wish they were de@d I wouldn't say sometimes I would say all the time it's like they don't have a fking brain to they're not kids by the way I am 15 I can't even study because my top priority is to always keep the house clean without me this family would collapse everyday it's like a loophole come home clean the house and clean the house that's what I think about I have a goal that I want to achieve and that is to leave my house gain my own independence and have my own freedom it's a long path I am tired sometimes I wish that my parents should be thankful that I exist but I did not kll myself I can't even play with my sister because she's always the victim somehow and I'm always the bigger person the evil person the bully person the one who is stupid and somehow they're always the innocent and victim like I wasn't absed like I wasn't groped getting beaten until I bleed it like I'm not losing memory because of how much emotion I've been suppressing like I didn't attempt to take my life I genuinely hate being the older sibling because now understand what struggle my half older brother went through he was treated way worse

I'm sharing this if someone can relate to this just know that you're not alone there is someone in this world that has the same problem as you but just know that NEVER GIVE UP

I want to share a perspective that might sound conflicting, but it’s something I feel very strongly about. As a Muslim, I love European history and culture, and I hope to live there one day. But looking at the current reality in places like England, I feel deeply disappointed—especially by the actions of some men from my own background, like Pakistan, who come to Western countries and commit horrific crimes like sexual assault. It feels like a complete lack of basic respect for the host country, driven by a toxic culture that doesn't belong in Europe.

​

I firmly believe that if you migrate to a country for work or a better life, you should respect its laws, its people, and its heritage. You shouldn't try to replace its culture or demand that it accommodates your religious laws, like Sharia. Every country has a right to preserve its own history, its traditional identity, and its historic demographic balance.

​

While I understand that European governments are dealing with labor shortages, they also have a fundamental duty to prioritize the safety and cultural continuity of their own citizens. Governments need to be much stricter with integration, vetting, and enforcing the law. A country shouldn't lose its identity just to fill jobs, and newcomers need to adapt to the West, not the other way around.

​

"On a personal note, I’ll admit that wanting to move there as a Muslim makes me feel kind of scared and conflicted now. My only goal is to work hard, build a career, and send money back home to support my family. But it deeply shames me to see people of my own religion trying to demand Sharia law or divide the country. If you move to Britain, you should pledge your loyalty to Britain. I firmly believe there should only be one flag flying, and that is the British flag 🇬🇧. I just hope that by the time I am able to work there, the government takes a stricter stance so that honest, hardworking people who actually want to integrate aren't lumped in with those who refuse to respect the culture."
