Hello I’m 25 F in Bengaluru. I’m neurodivergent/socially anxious. I’m looking for female friendships only. I’m from Kerala

Hello! My friend and I have a small group that we’re hoping to expand & play games with. The games we’ve been recently playing are Marvel Rivals, Frag Punk, Fortnite, and a few other miscellaneous games. She owns a PlayStation/PC & I own a PC, so cross platform games are the most ideal. We’re yappers, so please keep that in mind if you prefer to game in silence. 😂 We’re EST & love to play most evenings/nights. Hope to play games with you soon!

First of all, no minors, and no NSFW stuff and preferably only atheists. I just want adult friends, nothing more :)

So hey! My name is Will, I'm 22 and I am from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 my Paternal grandfathers family are all Irish, and everyone else is English (a few were born in Germany but have lived here almost all of their life)

I happen to suffer from anxiety, depression, autism and ADHD which makes life a bit difficult, but I do my best to keep happy even if making friends is difficult for me.

I love animals a lot, I regularly greet the neighbourhood cats as I walk to the shop every other day and I own a cat, two fish, two shrimp and 3 assassin snails !

I also love gaming and old technology. I recently brought, fixed and upgraded a 26 year old computer so I can play Half Life on it and it's so cool.

My main hobby aside from gaming is watching football. I am an Aston Villa season ticket holder but I often go and support my local team Tamworth, and also watch Derby County play on TV as my brother in law is a Derby fan.

If any of this sounds cool, please dm me ! :)

Hi there I'm 36 and from South Africa

My interests are

Horse riding

Reading

Occasionally gaming

Movies

Music

Absolutely love the outdoors

So let's chat and see if we vibe 🙂

28 F Cal.
Watching the office for the 100th time because it’s mind numbing and I really don’t have much going on today. Looking for friends or even fleeting conversation because since I got sober, all of my friends have vanished (shocker).
Interests include:
Baking
Sewing
Crafting
Lifting
Hiking
Camping

If any of this interests you feel free to reach out! SFW only pls!

I absolutely love music as well as drawing and art in general, I also like videogames and to just wander around big cities to observe the architecture (I live in Paris so I do that a lot lol)

I'm currently learning drums and playing Nioh 3

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)

• 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!

• 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 even want to read my post.

• 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. 🌸

Ps.2 I don't reply to messages I'm not Interested In even If they're long! I'm not on Reddit to pretend anything and I'm not here to be everyone's best friend. Some people lie & make empty promises to get attention. I? I'm quite selective because I know what I want.

Ps.3 I admire sensitive people who are not ashamed of crying In front of others! Crying Is not a weakness! It's not a weakness even If you're a guy 🧡

Hey everyone. I’m 22F from Virginia and I’m just looking for someone to talk to for a while. My sleep schedule has been all over the place lately, so I’m awake more often than I’d like. I’m pretty quiet at first, but once I’m comfortable, I enjoy talking about music, life, random thoughts, or whatever comes up. I’m just hoping to have a genuine conversation and maybe make a new friend.

HAIII long story short my bday is hella close and im having a party & need ppl to come so if ur in philly and need nfs and wanna come PLEAAAAASE DM ME !!!

I am 22 from india would love to make new friends should be female from india Would love to share and talk about different things. I really enjoy talking about shared interest, e.g., books/movies/ fashion/ astrology/Numerology.
Life is all about meeting new people making friends.
Should be from india because of the time difference.I hope i'll get some good female friends here🥹

People never reach out first, they never reciprocate. They make plans then completely disappear. And when I say never I mean it. It's gotten so bad. Doesn't matter if it's someone I just met, or people I've known for 30 years, people I'm supposed to pay for projects, and everything in between.

Is anyone else feeling this? What do you do about it?

Almost every relationship or friendships I have it's either them leaving, finding someone else or just straight up switch on me.

I try my best to show up to people, to support them in every way I can and I do everything for my people but somehow I'm not enough for them and there's always another person they choose over me.

I always seem to misunderstand where I stand in people's lives. For example when I thought that some girl was my best friend, it turned out she's been hiding so much from me and doesn't tell me about her future plans or the things she does for work, she only complains about everything with me. Mind you we've been friends for 9 years.

I don't mind listening to anyone's problems I promise, but it gets so annoying especially when all they talk about is their problems and then you accidentally find out they're actually successful and have their own businesses and all of that shit because why the hell didn't you tell me? It's not like I'll ask you to employe me or do favors for me? I'm just so tired of people being fake around me and it's breaking my heart too.

hi to whoever is reading this, i hope you’re having a good day or night! i’m just out here looking for some friends because honestly i’m feeling pretty lonely, and i’m agoraphobic so it’s hard to get out and meet people irl lol

anyway as my title says i’m a 25 year old guy, i live in the US, and preferably i’d like to meet other people also in the US because of timezones and all that. i’d also prefer to meet people around my age. other than that, feel free to dm!

i don’t have much to say about myself really but i play video games a lot, it’s what i spend most of my time doing lol. i’m mostly into survival games, story games, and shooters. when i’m not playing something i’m usually listening to music or hanging out with my 3 cute cats!!

that’s about all i can think of really but also i’m LGBTQ friendly (and bi myself) and i’m pretty liberal so idk if you’re not down with either of those i’m probably not your guy lol. feel free to hmu if you’re cool and wanna play games or hangout or whatever 😎

I never had any real friends in real life I have always felt lonely.

In school I had some so called friends, have you listened that everyone's friend is no one's friend just like that I talk to people but i don't have anyone to get things off from my chest

When i was a kid my parents used to live in rented houses and they used to move a lot and the more a grew up the hard it became to make friends in new societies

Now after turning 18 it feels impossible to make friends everyone has a friend they have since a decade but i don't have anyone 😞.

Would anyone like to be my friend please be around

I’m Jonathan, 28, from Northern Minnesota. Full-time college student Majoring in Computer Information Technology with a Minor in Cybersecurity, and when I’m not buried in assignments, I’m usually outside fishing, out on the lake, and working on my boats. Watching movies / shows, and sports, or hanging out with Zeus my Siberian Husky.

A few things about me:
• I am 6’1, Curly Brown Hair (Mullet), Brown Eyes, Glasses, and Dimples.
• Huge movie/show person
• Love the outdoors but also love lazy nights inside
• Probably listening to music way too loud
• Big fan of horror movies

Bonus points if you:
• Like movies/shows and need someone to trade recommendations with
• Are into gaming, sports, or outdoor stuff
• Can hold a conversation longer than “wyd”
• If you send random updates throughout the day
• if you’d rather stay in rather than go clubbing or drinking

If you read all this, tell me your eye color, they're my favorite feature and the first thing I notice.

I'm kinda bored so if anyone wants to talk hmu, I don't care about what. I'm also always open to make new online friends.

My hobbies/interests include reading, writing, gaming, anime, manga, comics and sports. I do kickboxing, skateboarding and bouldering. And I'm from Europe but idc about time zones.

I know I’m not gonna get any responses. I don’t stand out. I don’t fit in anywhere. I’m not important. I’d be highly surprised if anyone reached out to me.

A few months ago, I had a falling out with my best friend. I confronted him over a tone-deaf statement he made, offered constructive criticism, and he resorted to abandoning me instead of accepting his mistake and moving forward. Almost a year later, he messaged me (only on the day he was moving to a different city), saying he was sorry and couldn’t face me in person because he knew he had made me resent him through his actions. I have built up so much resentment, feeling a deep betrayal. I was slowly forgetting it until he messaged me, and now it feels like the resentment that has been lying dormant has awoken again. I feel like I’m dying holding everything inside and I just want to let out everything. I don’t know whether I should text him back and let out my bottled-up frustrations and resentments, or just let it go and leave that part of the past.
