r/nofriends

I hate that Im stooping so low as to post on this negative cesspool of a website but here I am

Wasted my first 2 years in college with someone I thought I would marry...dedicated all my time to them. Now I am back to square 1. I have NO ONE to talk to. I have no one to say good morning or good night to, no one to text between classes or talk/vent about my day. No one to hang out with on the weekends, no one to share photos I took, no one to play games with. I have so many fun Steam games like Lethal Company, or Peak, or BeamNG, just sitting there absolutely useless jjst teasing me

My weekends consist of doomscrolling reddit for hours, drinking 2-3 large cups of coffee a day, and playing miserable online games with randoms who cuss up a storm and make fun of me

But you know whats so weird... people like me. I usually get a decent bit of people who enjoy my company and clearly want to hang out with me. The problem is I dont like THEM! They are annoying, our personalities dont match, we don't have hobbies or passions in common. What the hell does that even mean. Am I too picky? All I want are no superficial friends. I want loyal friends, I want things in common with people...am I being picky?

I can accept if after 2 yrs of dating it doesn't work...but FRIENDS!!!!! He was my ONLY FRIEND!!!!!! I dread dread dread the weekends now!!!!!! I LITERALLY have absolutely no one to play with!!! I want to play!!! Thats how I bond with people, thats what makes me happy!!!! I want to play!!!!

And you know whats even worse, he was the only friend I ever made in my entire life. As a kid, I didn't have friends. As a teen, I didn't have friends. As an adult, I had my boyfriend who I called my best friend as that was so much more endearing and meaningful to me.

I don't want to die but I can't live any more of this. I thought after meeting him I was finally out of my friendless years. I was so happy...I thought things were changing. I'm right back where I started and I dont even mean college. I mean I have nothing to show for my entire life.

I have never really had a friend of my own I am looking for a girl around my age who would want to be irl with. I'm into movies and geography. I'm looking for someone who wants to go on an adventure with me and will be willing to drop everything for me. Please DM

Hey all, to start i'll just say things have been pretty bad. And somehow keep getting worse,and i could really use someone to chat with to take my mind off things, but i don't want this to be a feels bad. Negative post so if you wanna know more i'll tell you in dm's but it's also fine if you don't wanna hear some not very up lifting things, but anyway i'm a big gamer whenever i'm not busy, i love animals and the natural world in general, i don't really watch any movies or shows. but if your a big fan of wrestling or tennis we'll have a lot to talk about, i also love history sl if anything sounds fun to you please send me a dm, i would really really appreciate any kind of distraction or comfort right now.

I like TVshows, video editing, and movies. I have 0 IRL friends and haven't had much luck finding online friends who stay for more than two days. I am tired of feeling lonely and having no one to connect to so please send me a dm if you're in the same boat as me or just want to be friends

I’m 19M and lowk need friends
I went on chatgpt and searched how to make friends online and I got a link to this subreddit so if you’re my age message me 🙏🙏🙏 we can talk abt anything we can hop on games or smth idm js message me 🕵️‍♂️

Im not a fake account tryna advertise anything and I ain’t a bot making sure I say ts to not get removed or smth but yeah message me

Does anyone else feel like making friends on Reddit is way harder than it should be?
I’ll have a good conversation with someone, then they’ll either randomly block me or just stop responding after a couple of days. I get that people get busy or lose interest, but it happens so often that it starts to feel pointless.
I’m genuinely just trying to make some online friends to chat with, not anything weird. Has anyone else had this experience, or am I just having terrible luck?

Im Japanese and i came to Canada on working holiday. Here is countryside so it's hard to make friends. How should i do to make friends?

im 17, i do online school and 2 jobs. Everyone at my jobs is older than me and has their own cliques. Since I was 12 i have had not a single friend, no one to hang out with, no one to talk to. Everyday when i get home from work i do nothing, i feel empty. I stare at my wall with a blank face or scroll on my phone watching tiktoks or videos ive already seen. I cant see myself making a friend, or getting a girlfriend for that matter. I don’t think im objectively hideous but i have so many insecurities and i hate myself.

I made some online “friends”, every once in a while i talked in general chat of a discord server or joined vc to play a game, thats all ive ever had, even then ive never been anyones first choice, to talk to anyone I have to be the one to reach out. Online relationships dont feel the same as real friendships i dont think, but i cant remember. I sound dramatic and moody but this is the least dramatic way i can think to describe my situation, i genuinely can’t remember what it feels like to have anyone but me to rely on. its so tiring and i feel so heavy.

I see people online talk about having fake friends, or not “real relationships” and Im jealous of those somehow. I cant find anyone with my experience.

What I wouldn’t give to have somebody near me to just talk to, or just sit with.

Hi! gonna be a short post but i genuinely don’t know how to do this. my fiancée (22f) and i (22f) just moved 2.5 hours away from our college town and college friends for a new job i just got. i feel so isolated and lonely. all my college friends were met in classes and we were all neighbors so being friends and making friends was so easy. as a “real” adult out of our college bubble, im totally lost as to how to make friends. any suggestions? plz anything helps!

Hello!

I hope I can find one real friend on here.. I’ve been meaning to seek genuine and authentic connections in my life that I can truly connect with hoping to build a long-lasting connection if the energy is mutual. I’m quiet reclusive person just trying to force out my comfort zone I hope it comes across to the right people who also seek meaningful connections just to share any kind of long engaging deep topics, day to day life, interest/hobbies, and hanging out playing games together to make good memories. I do play games during my spare time like my interest are baldur gate, lies of p, red dead redemption, etc.. I don’t have many friends in general, just a few close friends whom I talk from time to time. I’m someone that can be consistent putting effort in a friendship getting to know someone if they truly wanted to be friends with me, I feel like it might be easier for me if there’s anyone out there that’s bit similar to me who don’t have lot of friends who values quality over quantity who values genuine connections in their life. If this interest anyone feel free to send a meaningful introduction! Hoping to find good long-lasting friends on here!

I'm a 22-year-old female who has always struggled to make friends because of my anxiety, my interests are somewhat limited. I enjoy listening to music and painting occasionally. I'm going to college, but it's lonely for me. I'm overthinking everything. It would be nice if you could recommend something because bored and I have a short attention span

hey guys i'm 16M turning 17 next month and i live in the USA and my timezone is EST i'm looking for other people that share the same interests as me. i'm 420 and LGBT-friendly. i'm really depressed and lonely, and i've been trying to change that. bonus points if you're also alternative!

i love music such as emo/screamo/metal. i'm obsessed with true crime and i love all things horror, creepypasta, macabre and gore. i have black scene hair and i'm likely getting my lip pierced soon. i like watching movies and my favorite movies at the moment are nightmare before christmas and scream. i love monster energy drinks, redbulls and vapes. my favorite colors are black and red. i'm not much of a gamer but i play roblox a lot. i'm a bit cynical and introverted. i have social anxiety and i usually spend a lot of time in my bedroom because i don't really go out. i'm a heavy sleeper as well and i sleep pretty much all day and stay up all night now that school is out.

shoot me a DM and we can talk and if i think ur cool then maybe we can be friends. but if you're one of those weird people who ghost please do not reach out. i've been through a pretty serious depressive episode the last few months and that's the last thing i need. please understand there will be times where i feel like talking and times where i feel like shit so please keep that in mind.

i really don't care who you are, just please introduce yourself including your age and gender and keep it cool. like i said, bonus points if you're also alt in some way!

Hey everyone,

I'm 20, a second-year NEET dropper preparing from Aakash, and lately life has been feeling really lonely.

I've always been an introvert and socially awkward. Making friends has never come naturally to me, and over time I've ended up feeling left out and isolated. I don't really have anyone I can talk to about how my day went, what I'm struggling with, or even the small random things that happen.

I'm trying my best to study and fulfill my parents' expectations, but some days I feel demotivated and mentally exhausted. Preparing for NEET can be overwhelming, especially when you don't have a support system.

I'm not looking for anything weird or romantic—just a few genuine online friends. It would be nice to have someone to check in with, share daily progress, motivate each other, or simply have normal conversations about life, studies, hobbies, or anything.

If you're also feeling lonely, preparing for competitive exams, or just want a sincere friendship, feel free to DM me or leave a comment. Maybe we can help each other get through this phase.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you're doing okay too. ❤️

I'm in my late 20s, and I genuinely don't have a single friend.

I know that at this stage of life I'm supposed to be focusing very seriously on my career and finances because they're not in a good place right now. But having nobody to talk to is also an extra issue. It makes me feel very lonely.

All of my childhood friends have built their careers, they're earning good money, they've met new people, and they're in the relationships they wanted. I'm still single.

From my point of view, all of my childhood friends betrayed me. Over time they became meaner and meaner towards me. It felt like they no longer liked me because they had money, good careers, and everything was going well for them. Sometimes I even feel like, why would they want to stay friends with someone they see as a failure or a loser?

Because of all this, I don't really see anyone as a friend anymore. I see everybody as just an acquaintance.

I'm slowly trying to mentally prepare myself for the possibility that I may never find a genuine friend in my entire life. It feels like once you're in your late 20s, nobody really finds new, genuine friends anymore. Everyone already has their own lives, careers, partners, and responsibilities.

Part of me feels like it's childish to still want a genuine friend at this age. Maybe I should just accept it and focus only on my career and finances.

Has anyone else felt this way?

Did you ever make genuine friends later in life, or did you simply learn to accept being on your own?

Hiii I’m going on July 8 to Joji concert In Dallas it’s my 1st concert and I’m going alone any tips like what do I wear or like do I just sit I have anxiety so like do I ask people if they can take me pics I really don’t know any tips are really good thanks:) also I need friends I have some crazy lore I’m 18 btw also I don’t really use Reddit but I do use insta and I do post there like a lot I want a friend or multiple friend that I can do anything form camping to skydiving to just listening to music while driving idk but I wnat genuinely friend I can be ackward at time but I’m very cool after and funny sometimes :) so yeah I like anime music manga I work and I’m learning to tatto too also

Not going great, most exchanges are just neutral and forgettable but then there are those that are negative for no reason.

Someone messaged me, a noticeably older guy with some fed flags in his profile, like marked NSFW and some kinda weird comments, nevertheless the intro was alright and I thought why not give it a shot.

The chat was very brief, maybe 10 messages which ended with him not responding.

Now days later this guy finds not a post but a comment of mine in one of these subreddits.

Under that comment he decides to go off on me for being "super dry" because I only made "one sentence" replies and "showed no interest" in him, and "that's why you can't make friends".

It sucks so much, people like this are the reason I ignore a lot of accounts who might be alright people, probably why many people ignore in general.

Now I'm paranoid that my past chats will come to haunt me like this. I've always tried to be nice to people and do my best to be interesting and to ask about them but man, people will remember, nitpick and hate you over the smallest things.

Anyone else have interactions like this, where simply getting ghosted would have been much better?

Hi, I'm 25F. I used to yap to chatgpt just a while back when it pissed me off by psychoanalysing me for no reason. I'm sharing random thoughts that are coming to my mind with my friend but she hasn't replied in like 2 hours and now I'm regretting telling her all of that. I get that she might be busy but I'm still feeling sad. I sent my other friend a message 2 days back updating how I made a cheesecake and she still hasn't replied.

All in all, I've been quiet for a long time, stopped expressing and sharing. But suddenly I've this urge of being how I used to be before, chatty. Used to have a boyfriend back then, we broke up. It's been 2 years.

Anyone up for platonic friendships? Just platonic and nothing romantic at all.

Ps- I haven't been able to talk to someone on reddit successfully, like make a friend because something weird comes up always. Hoping this time is different

Im 14 years of age, and most guys think i'm gay simply because I have no guy friends and only girls. Maybe if they weren't brain dead, they could've figured out that maybe I couldn't make any, thus leaving me with girl friends. How can I make one and does someone else have a similar experience?
