I fell out with a friend about two years ago and I don’t really have any way to contact him anymore

I’ve thought about it a lot since then and I just wanted to say I’m sorry for how things went and for my part in it

I also want to say thank you. Because despite everything that friendship meant a lot to me and some of those memories are genuinely some of the best I’ve had

We met online and mainly talked through Discord and Instagram
I knew him as Max / Maximilian, and sometimes Nakutar / Nazgafish
I’m not sure what he goes by now or if he uses those apps anymore

If anyone happens to recognise this or knows him and feels like passing a message along, I’d really appreciate it
Just wanted to say I’m really so sorry and wish him well. I hope he’s okay. I really miss him.

Thanks for reading…

i don’t really know how to start this.
i’m angie i’m 17 and i’ve been feeling lonely for a long time. some days i don’t even have the energy to get out of bed, and talking to people feels harder than it should.
i’m not good at conversations at all, so if i’m awkward or quiet, i’m not ignoring you. i’m just trying my best.
i like editing videos, playing silly games, watching random things, and listening to music. if anyone around my age wants someone to talk to, my dms are open.
i hope you’re doing okay today. ♡

Feeling lonely anyone wanna chat? My age preferable 👀

I dont know why but i always sucked at making friends. No one taught me how, or more like my experiences were also bad. For what its worth, i was told at a young age im gifted, and if that means anything its that i just learn quicker. Seemingly, i learned at a very young age that friends arent always "friends".

When i was in the first grade i approached multiple kids, hey im [name] whats yours? and then ask them do you want to be friends? they say yes. But nothing great ever happens.

Somehow, i ended up with some friends. Then idk i was just the quiet shy scared kid, at home i had cousins so there was that.

Later, we move to a new city, i make some friends, but also quickly realize how gossipy and dishonest they are, which to be fair i also was. It was just freaking toxic on all sides. Middle school was hell, due to bullying i shut in, i developed severe social anxiety as well. I think it was at that time that i one hundred percent realized how much people can be terrible. I saw also other friendships dissolve, so it wasnt really all my fault. I tried to be cool, lied a lot, became cool, got some friends, but unlucky me...2 left the school and one even left the entire city, eventually one would get so bitchy we had a fight and then he left to another country, the remaining one became a "thug" and he was a shitty friend anyway so i cut him off.

Homeschooled, had 1 friend who was going through his own teenager phases, he really didnt care for me a lot and when i look back i was just forcing myself on him and he just tolerated me, not enjoyed being around me.

Even cousins, we had family issues that caused contact to be forever lost.

For what its worth, i tried to socialize through my only friend, tried to develop relationships. Idk, i was insecure, weird, fuck it. I ended up leaving the country myself. Made a friend, but only like 2 weeks before he left that country...then i leave the country again, this time finally separate from my family and all on my own. It has been almost 2 years. Im all alone.

I feel this place is the worse for me, i jsut cant wait until i can leave. Where? i dont know. I dont have a plan as i dont have enough money for anything. Got in a relationship, but we are separated by 5 hours train trip and both are adults with responsibilities.

I have no one. No friends. Not even gaming friends online. Nothing. I have many hobbies but im not capable of socializing due to money, language barrier, and just the fact that i sometimes dont know is it me who is bad or weird and push people away or am i just reading too much into every single behavior. Or do i no longer trust that i will have true friendships? i dont know.

What i know for sure is this loneliness kills me and actually makes me unable to function sometimes. My house feel terribly silent and empty. I put youtube videos but they no longer work. I eat alone. I walk alone. I read alone. I make shit 15 minutes food alone. I order food for me alone. I even scroll instagram with no one to send anything to.

At evening and night, the feeling gets intense, it feels like the walls are closing in on me. I feel something like a panic attack, i feel trapped. It goes away. But it happens consistently, sometimes even throughout the day.

I dont have anyone. If i die, probably i will be one of those who were found days after they died. Although i think my mom will notice. But, no one else really.

I always wished i had this loyal group of friends you know? "the boys". We have good times, we have bad times, we seperate and reunite and remain friends forever. But it didnt happen. And i sometimes feel like mourning this innocent dream of just having a good bunch of friends.

Why is the world like that? what happened? I dont get it.

I dont know what to do. Im just venting, but open for any advice.

Worlds to cruel to be alone

I enjoy gardening and animals. I always like a good adventure. I’m struggling mentally with a spiraling relationship with my co parent and just need someone else to talk to that isn’t them.

Need a female bestie so bad

I’m not weird, just love conversation, can’t sleep

26M
Anyone up for a genuine conversation?
Not looking for anything complicated. Just someone who enjoys talking about random life stuff, travel, memes, late-night thoughts, or whatever the conversation naturally turns into.
If that sounds like you, my DMs are open.

Maybe in some years loneliness becomes my ally 🚶🏻‍♂️

I wish everyone in the group gets a soulmate or at least they adapt loneliness like me and feel okay 🤞🏻

I (18f) was just left by my long term partner and I have realized I have little to no friends, no passions, no hobbies, and what feels like nothing left to live for. However, I know that isn’t true. I have my faith right now and that’s all that I know I need to guide me through this. I think I need to make some friends or at least have a community to speak with because I don’t have a church to go to (mine is in a different state and I usually work Sundays for a new job). I don’t know how to fix this because I probably can’t. But I do know that God hasn’t given up on me and I can’t give up on myself either. So with that being said, would anyone like to talk? I play online games occasionally, probably not many right now, and I live in Texas if anyone is interested in being friends irl. Any advice is welcome, any kind words, anything at all is welcome.

I know this might sound a bit unusual, but I recently went through a pretty bad breakup after an 8-year relationship. I’m not going to trauma dump here.

I’m just looking for some distraction and a place to clear my mind, so I thought Reddit might help.

Also yeah… 8 years sounds like a lot, but I’m just 25.

Is it okay to feel like this and try to distract myself, or am I just avoiding the hurt I should be dealing with?

If anyone has been through something similar, I’d really appreciate your thought

so i’m 19F and since i got depressed a few years ago and changed my style, it’s been hard for me to make friends. i do reach out to people but ofc they have to have a connection to me too for it to work.

it’s just really gotten to me. i’m scared of creeps online and i thought i could do it irl but it’s just not really working.

i play games on my xbox and laptop, i dress alternative, i listen to most types of music. i like pokemon. ive recently gotten into the fate anime and fgo. it’s kind of a ‘mom game’ but i play hayday too lol. i love minecraft sosososo much. i recently saw ethel cain in concert hehe

i’m open to questions of course since i dont think ive said enough here. i guess i dont know what to do? :)))

Haii! I’m an 18 year old trans girl who is looking for some friends. I’m a pretty friendly person with a few hobbies but my primary hobby is music. I’m a part time musician, i play drums in a band and yes i get paid to do it. I also love baseball and watch it all the time. I’m a die hard red sox fan (unfortunately). I’m also a big golfer and while i’m not very good, i love to play whenever i can get out. I really enjoy animated movies and star wars too. Please feel free to DM me about anything, i’ll try my best to make conversation!! (i also don’t send photos of myself to anyone but would chat about anything) I’d also love to find people around my age to play stardew valley with as it’s my favorite game of all time. I also play mario kart 8 deluxe, and splatoon 2. i’m pretty bad at starting conversations tho but i’m great at continuing them.

42 year old fun, happy,

Reddit is full of strangers. You’ll get to know some of them, and they will become your friends. Some of them may lie to you, and some are genuine. Some of them may disrespect you, and some of them will surely respect you for who you truly are. Some of them may use the problems or experiences you shared against you and take advantage of them.

You’ll never expect to meet kind people because they are very rare. However, there is always a 1% possibility. This kind of person will tell you that you’re cool. They will tell you that they enjoy talking to you. You’ll feel the same way. But don’t ever expect it to last long. Don’t expect that you’ll talk to them for a longer period of time. They may disappear anytime.

Getting to know people is a quite long process because it is an exploration of another person’s thoughts, values, and experiences. They say getting to know someone is a process of discovery. It involves building trust. And for some, trusting is never easy, especially if they have experienced betrayal many times. They’re scared to trust again, thinking it might hurt them again. They’re protecting themselves. That’s why it’s important that you give them time to trust you. Why not try to understand and respect them? Because understanding and respecting someone is very important—but why is it so hard for others to do?

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MESSAGED ME AFTER I POSTED FOR THE FIRST TIME HERE ON REDDIT. I THANK THOSE WHO GENUINELY CARE AND THOSE WHO TRIED TO BE MY FRIENDS. IT’S NICE KNOWING YOU! THANK YOU! ADIOS.

Boring life, would love to catch up with people

Hey there, it is me again. After deliberating and gathering my energies for around an hour and finishing up my beverage can (it's hot here, despite being winter in my hemisphere), I decided to write a post. You see, my DMs have been quite dry, and all this loneliness is starting to make me have odd thoughts. If you are in a similar situation, consider keeping reading.

I know the problem is me. Not that I am going out of my way to be a dick or not making any effort to change my disagreeable sides... rather, I just can't relate to most people, it seems, and I don't seem to be able to offer what most are after, whatever it is. I only have what I am, what I am trying to give an idea of that it is. It was enough to people now and then, however, so I can only hope that, among everyone who reads my long walltext, at least one or two people will consider that what I have to offer might be good enough.

About me? Usually listing personal facts isn’t the magic key, but it does offer a few possible points of contact and a sketch of who you’d be talking to, so here goes:

• I’m quite indoorsy, usually only heading out when I need to. Still, I vowed to visit new places now that I’m on leave. I’ve already done it a little.
• I have a lot of pets. (Across two houses no less)
• I spend an inordinate amount of money on books, even though I don’t read quite as much as I’d like, especially with work leaving me sleep-deprived as often as it does. Right now I’m focusing my efforts on two books, one by Charles Sanders Peirce and another by Domenico Losurdo. I also bought a whole bunch more, because apparently the croissant incident taught me nothing. And I still plan on spending more on the Brazilian editions of either Wittgenstein's Blue Book or his Philosophical Investigations... God help me...
• If you know what it is, I’m building a physical Zettelkasten. I’m forcing myself to write ten permanent notes every day of my leave. Let’s see if I can keep it up.
• I’m studying electrical engineering, but I’m still at the very beginning of the programme.
• I’m autistic and Brazilian. I like mentioning those two together, for some reason.
• Appearance-wise, if it matters: I’m tall, somewhat scrawny, white, with long, curly dark brown hair. Hazel eyes too, and I carry my chronic sleep deprivation on my face.
• I don’t like to lead with politics (at least not right at the start, lmao), but I’d say I’m some sort of socialist.

Welp, that’s it, folks. Anyone can and should message me if they felt pulled to. The fact that you’ve read this far is a pretty strong sign, so by all means — if you’re here, do reach out. Just make sure to include the basics about yourself, like age, gender, a little something about your life or your tastes. You know, the basic stuff.
