I reached out to a person from Japan who was asking for friends online. They accepted my chat and I'm still talking to them to this day. I will admit, I have been in a dark place these past couple of months and looking for friends everywhere. This person added me and we moved to WhatsApp.

She told me about herself and everything going with her and I feel we connected. She wanted someone who could be a future partner and gave me investment advice without being forceful. In fact, I learned a lot and was able to start using Robinhood. She then advised me about an investment opportunity on a separate crypto currency and that she was going to invest and invited me to do so.

I ended up going onto this website that I should have researched more about and ended up buying around $1000 in BTC and invested it into this new currency. Afterwards, a friend of mine gave me the heads up about pig butchering and all the information started to line up. That website is seedy and rife with misspellings and lack of communication. I was accepting my fate on losing this money but through looking at this bad website, I was able to get my BTC back and transferred it immediately to my Robinhood wallet.

This literally just happened and I'm baffled on how I was able to get my money back. Has this happened to anyone before? I'm still communicating with this person and they seem genuine, but after everything happened, I'm not willing to go through this again. Does anyone here have any similar experiences?

Thank you for reading yall and be safe out there.

Hey everyone. I hope you are all handling your loneliness well. It certainly is difficult to shake the darkness away when you have no one to lean to.

I'm going through a separation after my partner cheated on me. They were my everything and now I have nothing. I'm not interested to going back and want to move on, but it's so difficult to do so when you had love. Love that kept you warm, comfortable, and safe. How can you possibly want to go away from that?

It has been several weeks since then, and some progress has been made. Living alone and supporting myself has not been an issue aside from calling out of work to deal with the overwhelming depression and loneliness that intertwines and crushes me. I have made online friends and a couple of been great, but it's no replacement from the beauty of companionship that was there before. When I work during the night and everyone is asleep, I can't summon the will to do anything. The darkness is so strong and powerful that it hurts so much.

I wanted to vent since that's where I am today and probably for the rest of the week and for the foreseeable future. I don't have much going for me and I want to change that. I want to try to do better. Find that something that sparks and stays on to keep the darkness away.

Thank you for reading. I hope that you all find yourself a happiness that you can call your own and keep the loneliness at bay.

Hey everyone! I made a post here not too long ago asking to meet others and try to make friends. I was pretty low in life with some things that happened to me and I wanted to connect with others so I dont feel so alone.

It was hard to do since putting yourself out there can be risky and dangerous if you can't handle rejection. People sometimes don't match your energy or give you half answers. Others don't bother sending anything back or have something else going in their lives and are too busy to reach out to you again. I went through all of that and I hold no ill will to anyone.

I was able to find a couple of people that wanted to connect with me on a deeper level and now I would call them friends. It took a little while to get it started, but now I look forward to seeing them online. We shared and talked and now I would say I have some online friends that want to talk. I have not played games with them yet, but I'm so excited to do so. Work is keeping me busy.

I wanted to share this with yall because I know how it is out there. Its difficult to find someone who wants to reach out to you and vice versa. Be yourself. Be interested in what the person is telling you and listen to them. It will come naturally if you put in the time and energy that they want. It can get better.

In summation, be awesome and yourself.

-35M with some friends now. :3

Hello, everyone!

I saw this subreddit and it matched well since we are all gaming nerds looking for friends and wanted in on the action. I'm looking for friends that can chat, talk, bond and have fun playing the games we love.

The games I play are:

Monster Hunter Wilds-this is my hyper fixation right now and am HR 630. I love being able to find the perfect crew and slaying epic monsters while looking cool doing so. I only slayed Savage Omega twice, so maybe we can team up and TPK together? 😉

Street Fighter 6- Another hyper fixation since the SF games are something I grew up with and love to death. I love playing friendlies with others and improving our skills.

League of Legends- I fell off this game but stopped at Diamond around S10. I still love this game and play Wild Rift since it's much more time friendly. I would still love to play this game more with others who want to have fun and try silly things. I play flex, so I can adapt anywhere.

Marvel Rivals-I'm not too good at this game and have difficulty paying attention unless I queue with friends.

Other games include Slay the Spire 2, Overwatch, REPO, Peak, Project Zomboid and many single player games. I also have a Switch and play Mario Party/Kart and Animal Crossing.

A little about myself: I'm down to Earth, laid back, and mindful of others when we play together or hang out. I love anime, LEGO and Pokemon. I love to read fantasy, thriller, true crime and horror books. I also love listening to true crime shows and movies. I'm a millenial, so I listen to 90's/00 music and love alternative/rock music. Linkin Park, Gorillaz, A day to Remember, Green Day and then list goes on.

I'm open to everyone and if you're interested, please hit me up. Thank you for reading and take care!

Title says it all.

35. I am going through a separation due to my partner being unfaithful twice. She was my best friend and my everything until this. I found out because she acted different than before. This was fairly recent and I'm going through a rough time.

Since I lost her, I have my apartment to myself while she was taken to her mother's. I am still trying to find a rhythm for myself, but I am so introverted, it's ridiculous. I don't know how to meet others. I am still going through heartache, pain, and disappointment. I want to have others in my life, but my head is making it difficult to even start it. I tried making posts on subreddits for making friends, but people either don't bother, or they have their own issues. I don't blame them since everyone has their own problems, but trusting others over the internet is impossible.

I work in 911 and it's a lonely job, too. I help people out in their darkest moments and hear some scary things. I help them out but I feel like I can't help myself. This loneliness and heartache is adding up and is so painful to deal with. I feel like there's no hope for someone like me after all of this.

I care so much for those around me, but I don't think that's enough for me. I try to stay positive with everything I do and with everyone I meet, but I don't see it helping me. I feel like a lost cause and it hurts so much. I don't know what to do and I feel like nothing matters anymore.

Anyways, thank you for reading my post. I hope you all can find something or someone to keep you going.

Hi, everyone! I am a huge introvert attempting to get better at making great connections and becoming a better friend. It has been difficult for me since I work overnights as a 911 dispatcher in the United States and I want to become more for others.

I love to help people in my community and go above and beyond for those close to me. For things that keep me busy and happy, I play video games. I love indie titles like Hades, Balatro, Ball x Pit and so much more and am currently obsessed with monster hunter.

I love to read and currently going through LOTR for the first time. Comics and Manga are also in the mix, as well.

I am a big time collector and am currently stuffed with figures, LEGO sets, and Pokémon cards.

I live in an area with amazing food and love to go out and try new things. I'm a big foodie and love to talk flavors and concepts with others.

I'm currently going through a separation due to ugly circumstances and it's been hitting me hard, both mentally and physically. I want to improve myself in anyway and I hope this path works. I'm only want platonic friendships and deep connections. Please hit me up if you're interested. Thank you for reading. :)
