Have you ever felt so tired to the point that rest or even sleep can’t fix it?

I’m 26 and I feel like my stress levels are at their peak. Every single day, you still have to show up no matter how tired, sad, anxious, or mentally drained you are because life simply doesn’t stop for anyone. Bills continue. Work continues. Expectations continue.

And I think the saddest realization for me is how replaceable we all are. The positions and titles we work so hard for can disappear in a blink of an eye. Companies move on. People move on. The world keeps turning.

Meanwhile, I look at people my age travelling, going on road trips, camping, partying, building memories, exploring life, and here I am feeling stuck. It feels like I can never catch a break no matter how hard I try.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m wasting my 20s just surviving instead of actually living.

I don’t even know what I’m asking for here. Maybe I just want to know if anyone else feels this way too. Is life still worth living?

Hey everyone! I’m a 28 year old female currently residing in US (unfortunately). Looking for friends and good conversation. Happy to travel wherever the path takes us :) here’s a bit about me…

-Work in STEM

-Amateur speedcuber (I can solve a Rubik’s cube in under 30 seconds)

-Love being outdoors and going for hikes

-Active and go to the gym 4 times per week. Ran my first half marathon in November 2025, so I’d love to chat with fellow runners and gym goers!

-Love music and I play bass (not in a band). LOVE playing in pit orchestras though (and will talk your ear off about it)

-Love sports - soccer, hockey, and basketball are my favorites. I don't play but am an avid fan!

Reach out if any of this resonated with ya! Please let me know age/gender/location in your response, as well as a bit about yourself :) Looking forward to hearing from you!

Just bored with my mundane routine and kinda tired from my day to day networking so I want to just be able to wind down through online socializing. I’m someone with a pretty boring life so I hate trivial questions like what’s up and how’s your day but other than that I’m a very consistent texter. Also if your messages read like wattpad stories pls don’t message me I’m too old for that thanks

I've posted in this sub 3 times, over various months. This last time was one of the worst.

The first message I got was " Are you karma farming? " when I responded with no i got met with " Well you have 20K karma " . Ah yes because my account is 2 years old and I AM ACTIVE? Like did that thought never cross your mind 😭?

After that it just got progressively worse. In total I think i ended up with maybe just over 100 messages. You know what most of them were? HORNY MEN. If it wasn't horny men it was 38+ year olds messaging me. I AM 26 WHAT DO WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT 😭?

Oh! AND LET'S NOT FORGET THE " Its not like your gonna respond anyways. " " No one responds to dms here." Why would I want to respond to a message when your opener is basically like talking to Sadness from Inside Out 😭? How is " its not like your gonna respond " genuinely appealing. You wouldn't go up to someone in person and say that or anything close to that.

I had people claiming it was false and that I wasn't looking to talk to anyone. Y'all. I have one friend who is busy right now. No one to talk to. I just wanted friends :( all i've gotten met with is people immediately self sabotaging with the " its not like you'll respond ", horny men, people old enough to be my parent, and then getting called a liar.

Y'all wonder why women don't post and this has to be exactly why. As soon as y'all see F in the title its like y'all lose the ability to have critical thinking skills. I am very socially awkward but jesus christ im not out here doing half the shit y'all are and then complaining when I don't get a response back FOR DOING WEIRD SHIT.

✨️Rant over✨️

Edit: Y'all are proving my point in my dms 😭 tell me why almost instally i got two messages. One from someone who is 48 ASKING FOR SNAPCHAT and just now another one saying " Hey babe ".

Whack.

Hi everyone! I’m a woman in my 30s looking to meet some new friendly people and hopefully build genuine friendships. 30+ only please.

I’m really into gaming on PS5 i play games like Fortnite, Valorant, and more. I also love music and singing, so it would be great to connect with people who enjoy music too, especially fellow singers.

I’m a huge fan of the 90s and love collecting nostalgic stuff from back then. Always happy to talk about old school games, music, memories, or just life in general.

Mostly just looking for kind, respectful, open-minded people who enjoy good conversations and real connections.

Feel free to send me a dm if you think we’d get along :)

Hi, trying this for a second time in hopes of some better luck. I’d love to find a friend to keep me company since I’m super introverted irl. Ideally someone to exchange music, watch movies, play games, and call eventually once we're comfortable!

I'm into anything horror, for movies anything found footage is right up my alley. For music mainly metal/rock like Lorna Shore & Wintersun, but I listen to anything and I’m down to share playlists or listen to your favorite songs. I like anything nerdy and I play some video games here and there as well. Recently I’ve been playing a ton of Diablo 4, so if you want to play that I’d love to add you on Steam.

If you can recommend something spooky or rant about your latest hobby, I'll be down to talk the day away. Hopefully we'll talk soon! If you reached out before and I didn’t get around to replying, please feel welcome to send another message. <3

Hi, I'm looking for long term PLATONIC ONLY friend that I can talk to daily and possibly voice chat with if you are okay with that, I have discord and reddit, I don't use any other social media. I'm a Ukrainian living in the US, and I don't want to talk to anyone who is against Ukraine. DO NOT MESSAGE ME IF YOU POST ANY MISOGYNISTIC POSTS OR COMMENTS.

My hobbies are watching movies and shows, I like sci-fi, mystery, action and comedy, recently I have been watching Alias, Psych, True Blood, Game of Thrones and a lot of horror movies, I'm wanting to get into Star Trek and also going to start watching Ally Mcbeal, I have a lot of other movies and shows I want to watch also. I also like playing video games and I play on consoles and pc, recently I have been playing stuff on switch 2 like Pokémon Legends Z-A, Sims 4 and Battlefield 6 on pc and a bunch of other random newer games and some games on older consoles, but I have a lot of other games and we can play multiplayer games together. I like nature and animals and often go for walks in parks. I'm also into cars and planes and really anything tech or engineering, cosplays, outfits, anime, retro gaming and modding, board games and lego. I also have cats, so I will send cat pics.

Please dm me if interested

I’m a 23 year old female who has a day off work tomorrow! I’ve been feeling extra bored and lonely and would love to chat with anyone about anything! I dong have many friends in person, which sucks. Hit me up if interested in chatting :)!

I just want to talk to people where I dont have to put on a front. Im fairly extroverted IRL and I have friends, but apart from maybe 2/3 people ive known 10+ years, it always feels like im constantly putting my best foot forward.

Im aware that this is my own fault for caring too much about my image, but 1 just cant seem to break free of this routine. This goes doubly for girls that I meet. I feel like they love the idea of me rather than me. (Again, my own fault for not letting them in)

So if you want to get to know someone who doesn't care about pretending to be something else just to be liked, here I am. I want to try this. Its basically anonymous so it's not like have anything to lose right?

Tldr: tired of frontin, wanna start stuntin

hii! i just got back from dinner and drinks with a friend and now i’m slightly tipsy with no one to chat with as i lay in bed (don’t judge me since it’s only wednesday). so if anyone is in the same boat or simply just looking for someone to chat with pls dm me :)

a little about me: i love reading, listening to music 24/7, cooking when i’m actually in the mood for it, and doing my nails like it’s therapy. my music taste changes daily depending on the vibe, so one minute it’s chill and the next almost embarrassing.

i love staying in. give me a good show, snacks, matching pjs and i may never leave my bed. i’m also chronically online, so if we have the same sense of humor you automatically get bonus points.

i’m pretty chill and easy to talk to once i’m comfortable, just a little quieter at first. if you’re funny, can hold a conversation, or just want to keep me company tonight, message me :)

please be around my age (20s) and don’t be weird lmao

Anxiety makes it hard for me to go out and meet people I have been working on being braver and not running away when my anxiety tells me. I have 2 dogs. I like both small talk and in depths conversations don't really care much about politics I do request the conversations be SFW. I'm Mexican and enjoy playing board games. Looking for folks around my age not in a crazy timezone. I may not respond to everyone just looking for 2 to 3 good folks to chat with as I do get overwhelmed.

Hobbies : stargazing, board games\[not very good at them\], travel, and anime.

Current Anime: Dr.Stone

Prior anime: solo leveling, MHA, Classroom Assassination, The Apothecary Diaries, DMZ, Naruto, The never promise land, Demon Slayer, and Black Clover

Ages 36 to 45 perhaps older not sure yet

hey! my name is xula’ or ora’ and i’m looking to make some genuine new friends around my age 18 to 23. i’m pretty shy at first because i deal with social anxiety, so meeting people in person has always been difficult for me, but once i get comfortable i’m really talkative and love getting to know people. i’m a very open minded and friendly person and i genuinely enjoy hearing about other people’s interests and hobbies.

a little about me, i’m a poc, plus size, pansexual, and i use she/they pronouns. i’m currently looking into going into radiology. i’m definitely more of a homebody than a party person, but i still enjoy things like late night drives, garage shows, and just relaxing with good company.

my interests are kind of all over the place honestly. i love reading, anime, dogs, baking, tv shows, music, and gaming. i play fortnite pretty often and music wise i’m into dad rock, alternative music, emo rap, and honestly a little bit of everything depending on the mood. i also indulge in mary jane and would love to meet more people who do too.

i’m mainly hoping to find people i can genuinely connect with and talk to consistently. i’m not judgmental at all and i really enjoy meeting people with different personalities, hobbies, and interests.

if you think we’d get along feel free to dm me or add me on discord :)

Hello all. Well I find myself awake now for whatever reason so I figured I'd pop on here and see if anyone was up for a quick chat. Could be just for tonight, or could be longer term if we hit it off friendship wise.

I like reading, watching movies and being outdoors. A few other things also, but we can discover about each other while chatting. Why spoil all the surprises.

&#x200B;

Hey , I'm from India .I really really enjoy talking to people over text and listening about their lives , I myself am more of a listener tho sometimes can be a yapper like today lol. I am also thinking of adding some new shows to my watchlist so suggestions are appreciated . If we really hit it off we can become great friends . As for my hobbies and liking -

Personally I'm the kind of girl who lights up at the thought of road trips, mountain trails, surprise plans and anything that gets my heart racing. Rain makes me weirdly happy along with music on the balcony . I love amusement park and I will be the first one lining up for the biggest, scariest ride. On the flip side, My guilty pleasure is scrolling through celebrity gossip columns like it’s a life update from long-lost cousins. I can be a good friend, kind, respectful, someone who shows up and sticks around. I can appear distant or shy at first but once i get comfortable with you , i will be your forever friend trust me.

Okay in a bit of a rough patch, so not very optimistic but willing to try again at making platonic friends. If you’re interested please let me know. We can chat about anything, nothing, whatever. I don’t judge. I like music, books (most genres), sci-fi, puzzles, yeah that’s not a lot of group activities but umm also anything outdoors. Generally want people to have a good time. 🤷‍♀️ Too much to put in the post and I’m not really sure how to do this… sorry if it’s wrong.
Sorry don’t want to give anyone the wrong impression, I am married and just looking for people to talk to.

Lack of introvert women on apps?

I had thought that apps would be good for introverts. You could look at profiles to your heart's content. You could message somebody, and you have the time to compose your messages and replies, so it gives you time to think of what to say, and just not open the app if you didn't feel like it. Instead it seems that every woman is super active, super social and lists 50 hobbies ( which makes it feel like they just tick every box). Where are the introverts?
