Greetings to the wonderful members of this subreddit! I’m a European chap in search of amazing people to befriend. I often find solace and joy in nature, spending much of my time hiking, exploring national parks, visiting museums and castles, and enjoying leisurely walks that lead to engaging conversations.

I have a passion for traditional music from various countries, particularly Celtic and Irish, along with country, blues, jazz, and more. If you'd like to get a sense of my musical taste, feel free to ask for my Spotify playlists.

I also enjoy reading books about the Troubles in Northern Ireland, Anglo-Saxon England, and linguistics, especially applied linguistics.

In recent years, my interests have broadened to include history, music, geopolitics, and agriculture. Although my full-time profession doesn't fully align with my academic background in history and linguistics (though I’m working on bridging that gap), it keeps me engaged and content.

If this introduction piques your interest, feel free to reach out via chat, comment, or message. Wishing you a lovely day or night ahead!

I have been sitting on a lot of weird things with my friend(F) when it comes to my boyfriend and I need someone to tell me I’m not being crazy or paranoid. I am only going to mention the few weird things but there has been plenty for the past few years. I don’t particularly think my friend wants to be with my boyfriend. I personally feel like she wants all men on her side and once they are chasing after her she doesn’t care anymore. She is the type for girl that if she doesn’t have some sort of male validation constantly she absolutely loses it.

1. When me and my boyfriend hang out with her, she is always trying to get him to do stuff for her. For example my boyfriend had a medical condition that he was in a lot of pain and my friend who is also a biker like my boyfriend was having him do stuff for her bike and load and unload the bike for her. This pissed me off because I knew how in pain he was while doing all that. She also knew pretty well he isn’t healthy and in pain. She also always says she wants a boyfriend who can do stuff for her bike.

2. Few months back the 3 of us hung out again. She started talking about a lot of weird shit. She was telling him about a guy who she had relations with and how the s** was good. Then she talked about b*** plugs, and then moved on to catcalling women and trying to get my boyfriend to do so as well. I talked to her afterwards and saying how that was weird and gross and I can’t be around someone so wildly different than me. Later on we had another fight in which she threatened to text my boyfriend and send him all of our fighting texts. I told her she should do that and she actually did. She started texting my boyfriend and sending him all my private messages to her that had nothing to do with him. I called her and I was very mad at her and was being very hurtful so she goes ahead and messaged my boyfriend again about me talking shit. She also said “your girlfriend is calling me at my job and yelling” I was calling her personal mobile phone and not her job. This made me and my boyfriend have a fight. Because he said why you calling her at her job? In which I kinda lost it because I didn’t understand how he doesn’t know me enough to know I’m not going to call someone at their job to fight. I am the least confrontational person I have ever met so to even think that it kinda broke my heart. We made up and I asked him to block her from everywhere because she is invading my privacy and using my boyfriend to do so.

3. I dont know how but after a few months I “forgave her” and we are talking again. My boyfriend is going to see his friend at her home town and she keeps asking me to tell him to go hang out with her. I keep telling her he is coming to see his best friend I dont want to ask him to spend time to come see you. Honestly I want my boyfriend to have some guy time as he is always with me. Half of the reason I am not going with him on this trip. And this chick keeps asking me to ask him to hang out with her. I honestly think part of this is that she wants him to unblock her so she can start talking to him again.

4. She sent a facebook friend request to my boyfriend a while back and my boyfriend did not accept it because 1. He doesn’t use facebook and 2. Maybe he just doesn’t want her on that social media. She asked me few times to tell my boyfriend to accept it. Obviously I didnt ask him because I dont want to dictate to him what to do. I felt like if he wanted her in facebook he would accept her request.

5. Another fight we had she said she wont be friends with me but she will be friends with my boyfriend. And every time she blocks me she doesn’t block my boyfriend.

6. I am not the one to care what my friends wear around my boyfriend. But she sometimes wears short shorts and a bikini top in our house and backyard. Where me and my boyfriend are in actual pajamas. She also always rolls her clothes to get a tan but it is just so weird that me and my boyfriend look homeless while she looks like she is on Miami beach tanning. It’s just weird.

To be clear, I trust my bf with my life. Time and time again he has saved me from depression, grief and being there for me when this chick hurts me constantly. I have no paranoia around him. He literally gave me his phone when she msged and left to do other stuff. He is truly my best friend after the passing of my soul dog who was my best friend. I also don’t think the end goal for my friend is to get with my boyfriend because she probably knows he will never do that. I just think she hates that someone loves me and wants to do anything to ruin that. Am I being crazy? Or are my feelings valid and true. And if so is there anything salvageable about this friendship? Or should I just put it to rest once and for all. I am truly having a hard time trusting her at this point.

ie am i a pedo?

It was my sweet 16 this past week and I was super excited to have my close friends over. I had 2 friends over because i don’t have many friends but we’ve been friends for over 3 years so I was still super excited. One of them actually moved schools a year ago so I was extra excited

The other one that didn’t move away had their birthday in the same week so we decided to celebrate two birthdays together. When it got time for gifts, I gave the other friend a cinnamon roll perfume, cinnamon roll giant pencil case, and cinnamon roll makeup hairband (cost me about 50$ in total)

My other friend that moved away gave her a mini backpack (about 30$)

When it came time for my gifts, the friend that moved away gave me a 3$ snowman mug from target and a 4$ hot chocolate ball, and then the other friend gave me a 5$ mini decorative plate. Not saying that price matters, it is the thought that counts but it’s my sweet 16!! And one of their gifts is Christmas themed??? It’s my freaking sweet 16 and I’ve always given them amazing gifts, what the heck?? What should I do? Should I go easy on the gift giving next year?

I’m currently trying to find people who love to click their fingers (think Addams Family theme song) with others. I enjoy this rhythmic activity because it brings people together through percussion and creativity. If you are into this type of noisy fun, message or comment.

So I had stuff to do tonight but unfortunately that was cancelled so instead I’m just home now and I’m kinda bored to be honest. So i figured I’d post here and see if anyone would be up for chat which could maybe also become a long term thing if we get along. We could talk about anything really so if you’re bored like me, feel free to send me a DM. Have a nice rest of your night and here’s a cookie for reading this 🍪

This is not my situation, but I was told about this from a friend. My personal opinion is that if I disagree with something that my best friend is doing (cheating in this case) I’ll pull them to the side and talk to them in private but their business is their business. I was raised to not meddle in other people’s relationships from a very young age. In the situation that was told to me, he told his best friend’s girlfriend that he was spending time with another girl, off of the basis that he himself had been cheated on in the past and felt strongly about his friends decision. What do you guys think?

Well hey there! I’m just a dude looking for an online friend. Someone to chat with throughout the day, and get to know, and hopefully become a long term thing, to be honest. I’m not usually the guy that would turn to Reddit to make a connection, but it seems like since 2020 the whole world has lost its mind. It’s near impossible to make a real connection in person anymore, without going to a club or whatnot. I’m not honestly just looking to make a connection with someone, to feel that rush again, the excitements of getting to know someone.

A little about me: I own a small business, and end up working a lot, that more, or less leads to me getting kind of lonely sometimes. (As lame as that sounds) I’m into a lot of stuff, but I spend most of my time outside. I love to ride dirt bikes, kayak, and go camping, I also tinker around with old cars and trucks when I can. I’m what most people consider a country person even though I don’t always agree with that, or look like it.

If you’ve made it this far, Thanks for reading, If you think we could get along, and be friends, don’t be afraid to come say hey, I’m easy to get along with, and say going in general. What’s the worst thing that could happen? I generally write back pretty quickly most of the time. There are pics on my profile if you’re wondering what I look like. 🤟🏻 ✌🏻Happy redditing!

About me: I'm a jolly personality, creative and with a sense of humor although my sense of humour is quite dark.I do tend to make dirty jokes so you have been warned. A bit about me is below:

Tell me something interesting and intellectual

How’s it going! I’m Mark 48 and I live in Rutherford County, NC. I’ve lived here for the past two years. I’m on my second marriage and my kids are grown and married. My wife has her own set of friends. I haven’t had a guy friend to hang out with in about 10 years. I’m an introvert until I’ve had a beer or two. I am an Army veteran and I’m into motorcycles. I ride a Harley mostly around WNC and upstate SC. I’m a chill and laidback blue jean and t shirt kinda guy. I guess looking for friends in the 30’s to 50’s age range. Not into sports, hunting, camping, video games, cigars. Currently into motorcycles, anything car related, beer, bourbon, going to the casino, hiking in nature, reading about psychedelics and spirituality. Say hi, dm’s are open

As the title says I’m 17 turning 18 at the end of the month and I really struggle making friends in person so I’m hoping to get some better luck here. I really enjoy cooking, baking, video games, films and cartoons and I can give you really random but fun facts on almost anything. Also to my family’s horror dad jokes and horrible puns. I also have a cat who I love dearly and love showing off. If you’re interested in getting to know me, being subject to my dad jokes and cat feel free to dm me :)

My main hobbies currently is gaming and anime. Some games I’m currently into are League (unfortunately), black ops 6, halo, fortnite, valorant (unfortunately), minecraft and csgo. The main anime I’ve fallen into the pits of is one piece and I’m up to Whole Cake Island. I can chat on places other than reddit if it’s preferred. I also used to be heavily into baseball and sometimes volleyball

I also love to build lego's its a bit of an ehmm... expencive hobby.... over all im a little shy at first and always try to make others feel good and im a great listener. I can be rather funny sometimes haha but im better with in the moment jokes. Oh and overall im an real open book soo please feel free to ask me anything :).

So I (20m) have known my best friend (19m) for around 8 years, we met in high school and had been good friends ever since. In high school, we’d only occasionally sit together and it seemed as though he’d prefer to sit with his other friends; he’d also act a little different when they were around but I didn’t really put too much thought into it. We’d hang out every now and then and I certainly enjoyed those times; playing video games, going to the mall and so on. As we got older, he started to become more and more busy with uni, work, hanging out with his girlfriend and always brought one of those things up when I’d ask to hang out.

I began noticing that I was the only one initiating all communication; texts, calls (to which he’d barely pick up) and so on, I was the only one making the plans and showing an interest in the friendship. I began feeling like a burden to him; I’d call and he’d answer once in a blue moon. Don’t get me wrong, when we do have a phone call, he does seem interested in what’s happening in my life but I’m weighing up if that’s just a conversation starter or not. Outside of our occasional (and I mean like once a month at most) phone calls, he doesn’t show any interest or initiative unless I’m the one instigating it.

Recently, I was talking with a colleague at work about this and they suggested that I drop all communication and wait to see what happens, this was about a week ago and I took their advice. A week is a really short time so I can’t say much but so far, there has been nothing from him and I’m interested to see what will follow.

Hiya! :3 I’m Pat, 21M from Estonia looking to make some new internet friends. I really want to develop a good connection with someone!

I’m relatively chill and outgoing, I can be awkward at first but once we click I become very talkative and extroverted. I’m an open book, literally ask me anything. I’m also gay, if that matters.

some of my interests include:

•video games, especially MMOs, FFXIV and WoW most of all, recently ESO as well. I also play other games too like Overwatch, League and so on.

•playing guitar.

•music. I can and do listen to almost anything so I will have song recommendations for everyone.

•going on daily walks and enjoying nature.

•recently started working at an IT company

•I read sometimes too. not as much as I should tho.

everyone 18+ is welcome! OwO

I have a fairly large group of close friends with 11 people in the “core” group and a few friends of friends that also hang out with the group once in a while. We’re all late 20’s.

Last year one of my childhood friends visited and I introduced them to the group. He later brought up that he noticed I’m the “leader” of the friend group. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but the other day one of the core members told me that he thinks of me as the leader of our group.

I typically do most of the initiating and planning, and I’ve had to play mediator in the past during group drama, so I suppose it makes sense. Also, the core group is this large because it’s basically 3 core groups that I stitched together. I had my original core group and was invited to two other core groups (3-5 people each), became close with those groups, and ended up bringing them together.

What does it mean to be the friend group leader? Is anyone else here a friend group leader?

Hello everyone!

Is there anyone in this group who enjoys reading as much as I do? I have a passion for books and love discussing them! Fiction is my favorite genre, and I also enjoy memoirs. Some of my top picks include Wellness by Nathan Hill, James by Percival Everett, and The Dearly Beloved by Cara Wall. I am almost done with "City of Night Birds." by Juhea Kim, I am enjoying it.

Some of my favorite authors are Jodi Picoult, Richard Powers, Elizabeth Strout, Matt Haig, Kate Quinn, and of course, many more.

Let’s talk books and other things obviously, I love theatre, I love watching Christmas movies, I love sending letters, I love getting cozy and reading and watching my favorite shows.

So last year on this persons birthday let's call them E, so E told me about this zip up hoodie they wanted for their birthday and since I'm nice and a good friend I got it for them, they were super happy but now we're not friends anymore and she still has the jacket it was very expensive and I want it back but I'm in the middle of wanting it back and letting her keep it because it was a birthday present but a very expensive one and she's admitted to my other friend J that she doesn't like me and that I am ranked nummber 4 on a list of people she doesn't like and that made me very sad because when we were friends we did everything together and we were basically attached at the hip so what should I do?

I'm nearing the end of the first semester and it's been pretty hard for me. I grew up near here but as a military child I've moved so many times, but this is is a completely fresh start for me. I knew nobody coming in and none of my friends are anywhere near, the closest is a 6 hour bus ride. I've got an amazing dorm, practically an apartment with 3 other guys whom I get along with. But that's it, I get along with them. Ones always off doing his own thing but we share the occasional chat. The other two are hometown friends and I get along with them pretty well. We talk a lot, share meals, smoke together, the usual university things. But that's really it, we don't have big discussions, share any classes (different majors), or know anybody in common. As such they end up being more of just smoking friends than anything. I'm friends with a few guys from across the hall but nothing more than a see each other and dap up kind of thing. On top of that, if I ever want to hangout with anybody, those guys or my roommates, they're always with people they've known for years now so it's hard for me to join in without immediately being cast out. I've talked to a few people in my lectures but nothing more than idle chatter. I got close with one girl but our visions of what we wanted with each other didn't align. We still keep in touch and head to lectures together but that's it. I'm planning on becoming a don (freshman floor manager) next year so I won't be living with anybody, not that they've asked to live together to begin with. I'd love to hope that I'll meet people next semester but I highly doubt it at this rate. My program has me moving to the UK in more than a year so hopefully I'll settle down there better.

Friends aside, anybody going through what I am just make sure you keep yourself healthy. I stopped exercising, eat less, smoke more, and have a sleeping schedule of 5am to 1pm right now. Don't end up like me.

It’s like I said I’m just a bit bored and would really like to talk about anything. From what foods you might like to your deepest secrets. I don’t mind what it is I’ll always hear you out and if you need advice I can try to give you the best advice possible. Hope to talk to you soon!

hii! i’ve posted before and had no luck or my dms being buggy ruined the moment😭 but i’m here again to try:3. i’m looking for a bestie that i can text daily/often and won’t ghost me. i will only respond to females as most experiences otherwise are just bad here. i want a really genuine friendship where we actually care about each other. i’m really not looking for situations that waste time. i’m a pretty shy person but once i’m comfortable i love to yap:). i love gaming, art, nature, my cat bingus, makeup, jewelry, and lots of other things tbh. i love joining dc vc and streaming my game to people i’m comfy with so if you’re not into gaming and enjoy that pls HMU🫶. if you’d like my user, message me<3

Met a friend through an app. We hung out a couple times and had lots of fun. We made out the last time I saw her and even made plans to see eachother again. I reached out a couple months after that and she replied saying it's "best for us both to stop seeing eachother" because she started dating someone exclusively. Just wanted to rant and read yall's opinions on this. (She still follows me on all socials)

A friendgroup would be cool. If you agree, dm me, so i can add you to the group chat. (18+ and SFW) Give me your insta and ill add everyone there!

Need someone to listen without judgment or advice? l'm here to help. You can talk to me about anything on your mind, whether it's relationships, work, hobbies, dreams, struggles, or successes. Don't suffer alone reach out today. Looking forward to hearing from you Soon.

Comment on this if you are unable to DM.

if you want someone to read and respond to almost anything you wanna talk about, shoot me a message! however, I don't got a lot of free time these days so responses might take a while (I'll try my hardest not to ghost). I'm looking for low commitment chats really, just someone to talk to about whatever really.

if you're okay with that, here's an intro to me!

I'm a senior in high school, I live west coast US, and I do things like drama and debate and too rigorous classes and all that, and outside of that mess I play video games and listen to music a lot. I'd say within those two interests I'm pretty varied, and I'm always open to talking about most things, even if niche (so it's okay if you just wanna yap about something).
