Heya! I’m a 27 year old Dane that wants to meet some new people and all that! To say a few things about myself, I’m a huge fan of all kinds of games, books and anime.

There’s a few things I care about, I hope to hear from you soon! But I have something else I want to say as well!

I want to thank you for reading my post, and I want to tell you that you matter! Thank you for being born, you are a precious gift to our world and a beautiful soul! Always know that you are wanted and cared for no matter who you are! Please always take good care of yourself and stay safe!

my friend is cutting me out

the other day my friend got a nose piercing. I must have said something stupid like she looked more grown up that it ruined the baby face. I didnt even realise how stupid it was and rude however she didnt even say anything and she asked what i meant, I just said she looks more grown but it looks really nice. I was very happy for her with her nose ring.

After that, she never spoke to me unless i spoke to her first. Now we’re okay, however, she reposted something about how when that one friend makes a comment and now you rethink your whole friendship with them.

My other friends told me not to worry as it’s probably her just being insecure. If she really valued our friendship she would have came and spoke to me about it instead of not doing anything about it and just slandering me behind my back.

Now that we’re friends and all, i dont know if i should bring it up.

And despite that, now that ive seen her repost things about me, its really ruined my good day.

17/M I guess I'll try this again

I have made many posts on subs like this to try and make an online friend, with no luck. Maybe this sub will be different, I dunno. Anyway I'm into: gaming (things like overwatch, stardew, zelda. All the generic shit), art (I do pencil and paper, digital and painting (it's very eh tbh)), DnD and obviously anime (like the fantasy and dungeon ones, so things like Black clover, delicious in dungeon and solo leveling) If any of that peeks your interest dm me

Also please just read my bio it has more about me, and people I don't wanna talk to probably won't after looking at it.

18M long term chats?

Hey I’m Thomas from Cali, USA, I guess I’m just curious to find someone new, I don’t ghost or anything and im very talkative, just don’t dry text or ghost me lol

I like gaming which we can talk about more in the messages incase you wanna play sometime, I also like sports, both playing and watching, going out with friends(sometimes I guess now haha) movies and shows, anime, history, science, gym, nature, lots of other stuff that we can talk about. I’m really friendly and whenever I meet new people they love me by the time I’m done talking with them. Like I said I’m down to play video games with you if you want.

Feel free to text me, maybe we can click, I guess I’m going for something long term here, like I said I’m super friendly, fun, and nice, hopefully we get along well. Please don’t be weird or lame. It’s very hard to not get along with me since I get along with everyone and anyone :)

Seeking: Understanding caring UNSCENTED friends

I am a 51 Y. O. man, I literally don't know anyone.

I need some understanding and caring friends.

THIS IS A MEDICAL CONDITION - DON'T FLAG

I have a medical condition (it's invisible). It is something that I don't like to tell people because I have been treated like a Alien and ridiculed and even called names.

I need caring, understanding, non judgemental, friends.

My condition is Chemical Sensitivity. In plain English, I CAN'T tolerate and I avoid: All chemicals that are used to create a fume, A SMELL.

I avoid anything marked scented. And anyone who is scented. That is 99% of the public. I avoid touching public surfaces.

I'm like the boy in the bubble, without the bubble.

I avoid scented laundry soap / people with scented clothes; lotions and cosmetics and obviously sprays.

My simple condition is basically that my body needs natural air and not man made chemicals-soup to get absorbed into the skin and lungs.

But my simple condition became my secret, only because of the manner that I have been treated and ridiculed by people.

Friends should be considerate and caring, AND non judgemental. so I am seeking that type of people.

The way I have been treated, has been traumatizing and affects my life mentally, emotionally, socially.

⭐Please respond with how to contact you. This can be your direct Email or Tel egg gram

Thank you for not judging

21M looking for long term nerdy friends

hi, my name is Ty and I am 21 located near Dallas, Texas. I am looking for friends here and I am a political and weather nerd looking for someone that likes the same things as me but also is their own person. I relax by traveling sometimes internationally when I can. My favorite place so far is probably Canada because of all the cool people I got to meet there and cool things like hiking. I would like to meet someone who thinks really creatively. Feel free to message me if you like :))

19F You ever spend time looking at the past and wondering what could have been?

Tonight has been weird, lots of memories won't leave me alone. I kinda wish I could take things back, see red lags etc

I can't sleep tonight
It would be awesome if we could become friends along the way, but i'm not gonna be surprised if i remain lonely.... that's kinda my thing guess

I’m still hurt about a friendship that ended over 2 years ago.

I’m wondering what I can do to heal. Two years ago, I decided that I needed to walk away from what ever my relationship was with the guy I called my best friend.

I think about them everyday. Most of the time when in thinking about them, it’s me imagining how I wish I could explain myself. I got accused of things all the time to the point that I “moved out” of the town house we rented together and started sleeping in my work truck until our least was up. It went on for months.

I would constantly hear him saying I’m annoying, conceited, hateful, pessimistic, secretive, dirty, nosey (either when he thought I wasn’t home or when I was in the next room). The list goes on. I wanted so badly to explain to them how I felt, that I was trying to be less annoying, that I’m sorry if I ever made them feel a certain way. I was crying everyday. I didn’t want to live anymore at the time.

Now I’m getting married, about to buy a home, moved to the coast, and have some of the greatest friends. I should be happy. Sometimes his brother reaches out and says “you guys should talk like men, maybe there was a miscommunication”. Why do I still think about my old friend constantly? And why am I sad about it?

I’m at a loss

Yo.. yall might know me as a LEGO Star Wars collector. It is my favorite thing ever other than making music. However I’m at a loe point in my life. I joined Reddit communities to fill the void. I’m going to be completely honest. I have a physical disability that left me in a wheelchair since the age of 10. Cerebral Palsy. Naturally when one has a disability it is harder to do the things that we want to do. My ability to go out and make friends is limited because of mobility issues. My mom used to be able to help me go places but she became disabled herself due to COVID. I’m a happy humorous kid. But I don’t know how much I can take of not having Any local friends. I haven’t had a meaningful relationship or friendship in two years. I’ve tried dating apps, but it’s superficial and it amounts to nothing. I just want a genuine friend who likes the same things as me. Everyone has their support group but I never did. My family doesn’t understand me and pressures me to be something I’m not able to at the moment. I’m very strong minded and optimistic, but I’m loosing sight of my happiness and it is scaring me. I’m writing this in hopes someone can read this and understand, maybe lend an ear. I love Star Wars and I make music. I might be depressed but a sliver of hope still remains because I believe in tomorrow. I’m tired of being physically alone. I thrive with the support and outlook of others.

19F looking for an online friend

Hi, I usually respond to posts, but a lot of ghosting and goodbyes happened. So here I am.

I'd just like somebody to chat to during the day and somebody who is also down for a call sometimes. I'm kind, a bit silly, I like to yap and listen to people yapping (about both stupid and important stuff). I am open to talk about literally anything, even nsfw stuff.

IMPORTANT!! I'm looking for a long term friendship. I get attached easily, that's why it hurt me when I had to say goobye after just a few days. Please, if you think you wanna end the conversation for whatever reason, don't ghost me, but say it clearly. I won't mind.

I don't mind anybody or any timezone, but if I could really choose, these are my preferences: • NO MINORS • preferibly a male • open minded • same timezone of Rome, Vienna, Zurich...

If you're interested, please dm me ^^

Friendship Advice

Hi everyone! I moved to the U.S. 2 years ago. I am a college student and I don't have many friends here. However, I met someone about 4 months ago. She is really cute and such a nice person. However, anytime I am around her I get really anxious. I don't even want to meet her too much anymore. But I don't like to reject people or say no to them. I know it will sound stupid, but please don't judge me. The things I will say will sound weird, but unfortunately, this is my life.

I am living with my parents, and they are so strict. It is because of our culture. And my friend always wanna go to somewhere. I am always trying to meet her, but like she wants to go to drink and nightclubs, etc. She also said let’s go on vacation last time. Also, she knows that it is a little bit problem for me because of my family. However, she asks the same question every day. And I feel so bad to reject her but there is nothing I can do. Also, I know that of course, she will want to hang out with me because we are friends, but whenever I see her message, I really get stressed. I do not want to lose her because she is my only friend here. Also, I know that I am her only friend so I am the only person who can go to these places with her.

Do you guys have any advice? She asked me the same thing again and I don't know what to say anymore. I swear I know she is right, but like I said I can’t go out at night. I feel so bad because I feel like the same things will happen with everyone else. And I will stay alone forever. I know it is hard to understand me.

I know what will you guys say but I can’t change my parents or convince them. At least, until I graduate from college. I feel like I will stay alone forever without a close friend because I can't go to these kinds of places. Am I a bad friend?

Lastly, and advice on how can I meet new people around NYC/ NJ. Like people like me who looking for a friend.

(I am so sorry if there is a mistake in my post. I am still working on my English)

Why do guys get weird when I say they’re like a brother? Like I mean it as i’m comfortable with them and I feel safe with them. But times out of 10 they either get offended or they immediately try making a move. Can anyone explain this? It’s so annoying! I love having “big brother” type friends but it’s so hard because of this.

My best friend is slowly turning into a pig and I want to stop it

My best friend (21m) has been seeing this girl for the better part of 2 years. She has been nothing but sweet and caring towards him, and regularly goes above and beyond for him. Broke his leg? She stayed with him almost every day during his recovery. Lost his devit card? Told him she would buy him anything he wants (food, video games, etc.)

He hasn't really done anything for her. He just tells her how annoying she is and pretty much uses her only for her body. He has convinced her to go poly, however she doesn't intend to see other guys. She loves him, and the only reason she even agreed is because he said he'll keep her as his "main girl". I do not believe this one bit and I know that once he finds someone else, he'll just leave her. I know this because she is black, and my friend is very vocal within our friend group on how he finds black women unattractive and wants a white/ Asian woman. I just don't like how he's leading her on, and she is known to have issues and I'm scared she'll kill herself if he hurts her. She is such a sweet girl and treats him way better than he deserves.

I mostly blame my best friends dad for this behavior. He has groomed his son to be a "fuckboy" from a youngbage, and even encouraged him to see other women behind her back before they officially went poly. His dad treats women like object and he even tried to bang my mom once when I was in middle school and I'm pretty sure he still is trying to. This fourty something year old lowlife still lives with his elderly parents and just recently got a job. He wants my best friend to follow in his footsteps, and has done things like preventing him from getting a driver's license, hide his gov documents from him, and even seize complete control over his bank account and card despite my friend being a 21 year old adult.

I want to take him out of that environment, away from that pos. I've been saving up money so we can both get a place together so he can finally grow as a person without the influence of his scumbag of a father. He hates his dad as well because he used to beat him with a golf club in middle school, so he's on board. My biggest fear is that after I get him out of that environment, he won't change and he'll just continue down the path.

What should I do? If I talk to him about it, I'm afraid he'll react badly and end our friendship right there and then. I deeply care about him, he is my brother and we've gone through countless things together, and I'm scared to lose him. This may probably sound like a stupid dilemma, but my moral compass won't allow me to stand idly by as he potentially ruins the lives of innocent girls.

P.S. I'm not interested in his current gf whatsoever if that's what it sounds like. I just hate the idea of cheating/ cheaters in general.

What to do when felling sad?🤔

Hello, guys. I want to know what you should do when you are feeling sad. Feeling sad is a natural part of life, but it's essential to know how to navigate through those tough times. When you're feeling down, it's crucial to take care of yourself. This could mean reaching out to a friend or loved one, engaging in activities you enjoy, or practicing self-care routines like meditation or exercise. However, everyone copes differently, so I'm curious: what do you do when you're feeling sad? Share your own strategies and experiences in the comments below. Let's support each other through the lows and celebrate the highs together.

19f - I need new friends so bad,but preferably some that a a little more social than me

I just moved away from my hometown from college and have only made, like, two friends. I haven’t had to make friends from scratch since I was like 5 so idk what I’m doing at all, and for some reason nothing ever clicks right. Maybe I’m just bad at maintaining conversations? Bro idk. But I’m down to be friends with anyone around my age, but preferably who can help support the conversation where I can’t lol.

I’m a photographer and fine arts major and I like most artistic hobbies. Right now I work at a pottery studio and am super into animated tv shows (ATLA rn) and stardew valley right now. I also like BTS and some other random stuff.
