26f

Introverted metalhead looking for friends who are into reptiles, spooky things, dark humor, and weird conversations. Bad at small talk, good at random facts and disappearing into niche interests for hours. I do take a bit of time to open up but once I’m comfortable it’s hard to get me to shut up.

37 F US looking for platonic friends

Just a gal looking for friendly people to talk to about whatever - life, movies, hobbies, etc. I like talking to people! Just be cool - I’m not here to date anyone and not looking for anything weird 😬

Texting my friend is becoming draining

My friend and I have a predominantly texting relationship due to us living farther apart now. I’ve always noticed little texting patterns with her that would annoy me from time to time but lately it’s become excessive.

I’ll text her about something specific and she won’t acknowledge it or respond to it but hours later she’ll text me something totally unrelated and random without acknowledging what I said previously? And then when I acknowledge what she said she she’ll abruptly change the topic mid convo to something else. And then I’ll acknowledge her new point and then it just keeps going.

I apologize if that explanation is kinda confusing. In general she just texts very erratically? And it seems like she controls the whole conversation. It’s getting really annoying because it feels like I’m just there to respond to her and entertain her thoughts until she decides she’s over it. It doesn’t feel like I’m an active participant in the convo if that makes sense? And it’s like everything is on her terms. It’s getting to be really annoying. And lately after we talk I find myself just feeling irritated and drained.

My friend is recently unemployed so idk maybe she’s bored and just texts me everytime a random thought pops up throughout the day and that’s why it seems so random and erratic? but whatever the reason my point remains

16F BE MY FRIEND PLEASE OH MY GOSH

**this is a repost cause I wasn't really able to find what I was looking for last time, so if you've seen this already...... no you didn't...**

iiiiiii ammmmmmm SO freaking annoyed being alone and not having anyone to talk tooooooo. I try to do silly fun introductions when I talk to someone to get the ball rolling but it goes nowhere brah 🙃

I would say I'm a pretty good time and i love to just yap about anything with anyone. I love silly banter/flirting lowkey, it's fun that way. Also I'm veryyy dirty minded Imao. But obv I wouldn't do it, if you weren't comfortable y'know. Like all other people I enjoy music, movies blah blah blah all that good stuff

Also if you look at my comments you will see that I am in the Beyonce sub RELIGIOUSLY. I love that woman down lol. There are plenty of other interesting things to know about me for sure, but I can't really think of em right now (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)

Uhhhh yeah that's about all chat. DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT COMMENTING OR INTERACTING IF UR OVER THE AGE OF 20 BROCHACHO. ALSO STATE YOUR AGE WHEN YOU FIRST SAY SOMETHING 😒 my age and up to that limit I'm chill with. Also don't be boringgggg dude, cause if you are I'ma need you to go ahead and call your Uber. Guys and girls and everything in-between are all welcome ofcccc. Alrightyyyyy uh yuh I hope to see y'all if you think I'm interesting at all. Byeeeeeeeee (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Also, I am under your bed. Hide.

Question

If someone who is your friend stays friends with someone who said you made up being molested, would you remain friends with this someone? Or no? I feel like I'm being too much right now.

30/F trying to find some actually genuine people to chat with!

Heya! I'm super bored right now, so naturally I'm hoping to find some people to talk to. I'm chronically online, dont go out nearly enough, I play a lot of game! I love animanga! Down to chat about anything, just sick of slightly creepy guys, I really just wanna chat to some normal people, also sorry to be a pain, but try not to message with just 'hey' otherwise I may ignore it!!!

My friendship has never been a friendship was it?

I have had this female work friend for about 2-3 years? (Im male, idk if this is relevant but just in case).

And I have once stopped talking to her because basically it was a super one sided thing, id be the only one saying hi, initiating talking, sending jokes blah blah.

After this she came to and apologized and said she was going thru a lot in her life. Ok fine. Fast forward about 7 months and we've reverted back to a similar state, hell I just came back from vacation and I didnt even get a "how was your trip?".

But what triggered me posting this is today I had been busy so I had not had a chance to say hello, and I sent her a message saying "you could say hi sometimes u know?" And the response i got has me thinking I might be the only person invested in this friendship. It was "sorry that's not the first thing on my mind when I get here"

Keep mind this was hours into our shifts.

I feel like maybe this is like a AITAH thing for wanting to just cut ties? But idk.

u/Worried_Flan4049 — 2 days ago

30/F I'm looking for someone who would reciprocate my commitment In [Friendship] - I don't want to meet people who don't ever Initiate anything.I would love to meet someone who's Into sending pictures of animals, nature or food - someone friendless, talkative and honest to talk to on a daily basis ✨

Hello! If you really want to send me a message, read my post, please! I want to talk to people from European countries because I live In Europe & I would love to meet my new friends In real life (In the future, obviously) 🌸

I want you to read everything because my expectations aren't the same as other people's expectations. I also want you to know what to expect because even though we're all here to spend time with others, not everyone needs new friends. Some people want to find someone to play games with & It's just an example.

I made this account In 2021 and even though I'm really active on Reddit, I can't make new friends... Not everyone on Reddit Is toxic or rude but there's ALWAYS something missing because I don't feel any emotional connection... I would love to change my life & finally wake up excited to text someone I really, really like 🙁 But... Life Isn't easy and I'm not sure If there's still a chance for me to find someone with exactly the same expectations as mine, someone who wants to meet someone new...

• I'm DEFINITELY NOT Interested In small talk! I had to use capital letters because I don't like low-effort messages and I don't even want to read them. Repetitive questions like "How are you?", "What are you up to?" or "What are your plans for the weekend?" aren't enough to start a conversation with me.. Don't get me wrong - Questions like these can be an Interesting addition to conversations about something else, but whenever people ask me the three most common questions In the world - my answer's the same because my life Is quite monotonous and I don't really know what people expect to hear 🙁 I also don't like abbreviations. Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or phrases. Why? I just don't like them because I see no reason to use shortened forms of words that are already short enough, you know? Abbreviations are common among minors and bored adults but I'm neither a minor, nor a bored adult. I want to see emotional maturity, warmth and kindness In conversations with others.

• I don't need to see your list of hobbies to know If you're someone I would get along with! You can tell me what you're Interested In but.. Believe It or not - I'm not like others and even If you're Interested In something I'm not - we can still be friends! What matters to me Is what you're like (If you're honest, talkative, kind, understanding and If your outlook on life Is similar to mine) not what you like.. I honestly don't understand why all conversations start the same way... "I like..." Or "I'm Interested In..." Your hobbies don't define you! It's better to say something about who you are, who you get along with, why you're on Reddit & more.

• I don't want to talk to minors and people way older than me. Why? I don't want to talk to minors because I'm an adult & I don't want to talk to anyone over fifty for example. Emotional maturity doesn't necessarily come with age so you can send me a message even If you're 20 (It's just an example) but please, don't contact me If you want to remind me that I'm older than you. I want you to feel comfortable & I want to feel comfortable myself. When I read messages like "Hi, I'm younger but I hope you don't mind" I always say to myself "If my age bothers you, you should've contacted someone else" I absolutely don't mind talking to people younger than me If they know how to communicate with others 🌸

• PLEASE, Don't use AI to talk to me! I Can't stand AI generated messages! If I wanted to read AI generated messages, I wouldn't be here! I read AI generated messages and comments all the time and I'm sick of It! AI Is both a blessing and a curse...

• I don't want to get any messages from people whose accounts are NSFW! Please, respect my decision! It's none of my business If you're here to find someone to flirt with or If you're an Internet exhibitionist but I don't want to see you with no clothes on - If you want to be my friend & I don't want to know what you want to do with other women In bed. If you are on Reddit to flirt with others, be on Reddit to flirt with others but... don't make an alternative account to hide who you really are just to send me a message. Pretending to be someone you're not - Isn't good for anyone

• I'm not a fan of sarcasm! I do - have a sense of humor but I'm not someone who makes fun of everyone and everything... Jokes about disabilities, death, religion or someone's financial status - are unacceptable to me!

• I also want to meet people who don't mind listening to negative stories and sharing them with others. My life's not easy so If you want to be In my life, you should be prepared for a realistic or even pessimistic outlook on life. I'm definitely not an optimist and I know I wouldn't get along with optimistic people who always tell others "Just believe In yourself and everything's gonna be OK" or something. We don't always get what we want & and It's completely normal to lose hope "for a better tomorrow" after many failed attempts. Not everything's as easy as It seems to be so If all you want to say to someone who needs emotional support Is "Don't complain" or "Find a therapist" Please.. don't send me a message. Not all sad people need therapists and let's be honest - Would a therapist replace a true friend? Absolutely not! Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on! I also don't mind listening to sad stories (even If they're repetitive) because I know what It's like when no one wants to listen to you...

• I would love to meet people who also don't have anyone, you know? There's absolutely nothing wrong with having friends and not being single but I'm single and I don't have anyone special In my life... It's just easier for me to get along with others If there's some common ground. I just feel better talking to people who know what It's like to be completely alone & let's be honest - People who have friends or partners, have less time for others...(which Is completely understandable) and I? I don't want to feel like an option, again. I'm not here to meet as many people as possible because I choose quality over quantity 🌸

• If your comment history Is full of comments "If you want to talk, hit me up" don't send me a message. I don't want to be rude but If It doesn't make any difference to you who you want to chat with - I'm definitely not for you. I want you to be my friend because of who I am! (If after reading my post you think you'd get along with me) I don't need emotional support from someone who doesn't want to get to know me. Words of comfort can be really beautiful but anyone can say "Cheer up" or "Everything's gonna be OK" and I feel like people who seemingly want to make others feel better, don't even believe their own words...

• I want to talk to people who love and use emojis 🤭😊 Why? Emojis help us express our emotions even If others can't see our faces. Two emojis "😊" and "😔" are completely enough. You're probably surprised but.. text messages without emojis are really emotionless...I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea" as it sounds dismissively. First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even In a text message

Ps. I don't like kids and I don't want to ever become a parent. I just thought everyone should know that just In case. I don't want any unpleasant conversations with anyone. Not everyone wants to be friends with people who don't want kids so.. It's better to be honest. 🌸

33F Here I am again, even though I don't have time, looking for someone to talk to. 😁🤣

I really enjoy random conversations, the kind where you can talk about daily life, small wins, random thoughts, hobbies, school, work or anything that comes to mind. Just looking for someone I can talk to comfortably because I might accidentally fall asleep during my shift hahaha. Someone who understands that people can get busy sometimes, because low-maintenance friendships are pretty nice too.

About me:
introvert | working at home | student
Other details are already on my profile.

I’m not really into games though. I’m more into music, short trips, reading books/manhwa/manga, watching animated movies/anime/K-dramas and upskilling, so I guess I’m kind of nerdy hahaha.

I genuinely enjoy talking to people and I’d like to think I’m a good listener too. But I’m also really slow at replying to these days. I’ve been ghosted a lot already but it’s fine. Life happens.

This is chat-only friendships, I’m not into NSFW stuff so just chill conversations please.

It doesn’t matter where you’re from or how old you are, just be open to sharing basic info. As long as we can communicate and keep the conversation going, that’s enough for me.

Just DM me with your intro please. No pressure.

30F looking for weird and wonderful platonic friendship

Hi! 😊

💗30F

🇿🇦From South Africa

Looking for online friends to chat to regularly (PLATONIC ONLY).

A few things about me:

🎵I love heavy metal, rock, drum & bass, and deep house.

Music is a huge part of my life and I feel like I experience music more intensely than most.

💻Huge fan of the Sims and Stardew Valley. I love RPG and adventure games too. Some favourites include Fable and Hogwarts Legacy. Also enjoy episodic games like Life is Strange, the Walking Dead and the Wolf Among Us.

📺I love documentaries, true crime, podcasts, and researching random and strange topics.

📞I’m pretty introverted and can disappear socially when life gets overwhelming, so I appreciate people who understand low-pressure friendships and don’t take delayed replies personally.

🥼I spend most of my time in the lab and I LOVE IT.

Basically just hoping to find some kind peeps with a good sense of humour (dark humour is also appreciated! 😈) good music recommendations, and interesting brains 🖤. Let's be weird together! I'm happy to chat about chicken nuggets, serial killers, North Korea, creepy deep sea creatures and Biscoff spread, all within the same day 😆.

Feel free to message me if you think we’d get along 🙂.

Please tell me a bit about yourself! I really appreciate some effort in the way you communicate, because I always try to put in effort from my side 🤗.

I don't understand how my social circle ended up so small, where did I go wrong ?

Every friend I have today is from work either he used to work with me or currently working with me outside of that I'm basically lonely, so If for some reason I lose that job I don't just lose my paycheck I'll lose my social life. I used to be social when I was in school, I had so many friends back then, How did it come to this ?
