What are some good places/ activities to do around brisbane to meet people? Im not the biggest in large crowds but i am pretty open to trying new things.

Hey! Before you move on to the next paragraph of my post - There's something I want you to know 👇🏻 If you want to send me a message, read everything, please. If you don't want to read my long post - better try to find someone else. I'm not trying to be rude - I just want you to know what I'm here for If you want to send me a message and be my friend ☺️

(I want to talk to Europeans/People living In Europe because I would love to meet them In real life - In the future)

★

I've spent the last six years of my life trying to find a friend but... despite having people to talk to, my situation Is still the same and I don't have anyone special to talk to. 😔 I can't call anyone a true friend. You can meet new people everywhere but just because some people are In your life, doesn't mean they're your friends. Sometimes I feel like the loneliest person In the world and It's not a feeling anyone would like to ever experience.

★

What am I definitely not and will never be interested In? I can't stand small talk.

👇🏻

• Short messages are definitely not for me. I'm not here to find another person to exchange short messages with. I'm not here out of boredom and I also don't want to hear the same questions over and over again.. What questions?

"How are you?"

"What are you doing?"

"What are your plans for the weekend?"

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with simple and repetitive questions but I want to meet people who want to have more engaging conversations with others. If I needed quick and simple conversations - My post would be different. There's one more thing worth mentioning! I hate abbreviations In text messages! If you're another person using "Wbu?" Instead of "What about you?" (It's just an example) I'm not for you. I'm not trying to be rude, I just don't need more conversations with people who are too lazy to stop using abbreviations. I'm a fan of conversations with people who use complete sentences.

(I don't respond to any "send me a message" or "Let's be friends" type of comments)

I also don't respond to messages I'm not Interested In - even If they're long. If after receiving and reading your first or second message I don't think you're someone I would get along with - I just don't. If people think they wouldn't get along with a stranger - Is there a reason to start a conversation? I don't think so. Everyone can choose who to be friends with. My definition of ghosting Is different.

👇🏻

Ghosting Is when someone you like, someone you think you're friends with - leaves you without any explanation. Nothing hurts more than losing someone you like or love... I would never Ignore anyone after weeks or months of daily conversations though! Never 😊

★

• I don't want to get ANY messages from guys whose accounts are NSFW! It's none of my business If you're an Internet exhibitionist or just a guy who wants to flirt with random women but not all women want to Interact with h**** guys - I don't. I always check people's profiles to avoid guys who are on Reddit to have fun...🫤

★

• I don't talk to minors and people way older than me. I'm here to talk to adults! (18-37 age range) I don't mind talking to people younger or older than me but they can't be minors and they can't be older than my own parents. It doesn't matter to me If you're 18, 25 or 33 as long as you're emotionally mature 😊 Emotional maturity doesn't necessarily come with age. It's more complex.

★

• I don't make friends based on hobbies (unlike most people) I want to know what you're like, not what you like. Don't get me wrong, you can tell me what you're Interested In but It doesn't make any difference to me If you're Interested In photography or something completely different. I want to meet someone with the same personality traits as mine 😊 (I love talkative, honest, kind, caring and understanding people) I want to meet someone whose expectations regarding friendship are the same as mine.

★

• I 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.

★

• If you and I are from the same country (which we'll find out In the future If we start a conversation) I want to communicate with you In our first language as I would feel uncomfortable talking to someone from the same country as mine, In a foreign language 😊

★

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. 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 - If you think crying Is a weakness and you don't ever cry because you're a guy, you're also not someone I want to know. Why? It's OK to cry! It's not a reason to be ashamed of!

★

• I want to meet people who don't have friends or partners. Why? Because It's easier for me to get along with others, If they have something In common with me, something Important. There's nothing wrong with having friends or partners but people who have friends or partners have less time for others (which Is completely understandable) but 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 quanity 🌸

★

• I'm definitely not a fan of sarcasm! I'm looking for someone interested In serious discussions - not another person seeking some entertainment out of boredom. Jokes about disabilities, religion, cancer or death are unacceptable to me.

★

• I don't want to meet people who swear a lot. You can always express your opinion In a kind way, without being vulgar. Respect Is an Important aspect of my life.

★

What else to say? I'm Interested only In daily conversations and long term friendships. I also don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to get a message (sleep schedule not Included) We all get busy but It's not a post for busy people who don't have time for daily conversations. Everyone has different expectations and priorities and I understand that but I'm tired of constantly waiting for messages from someone I'm interested In... 😔 I'm not here for anything temporary... Be sure you know what you want! What can I offer? Anything you want 🌟 Verbal conversations (In the future) random pictures & more.

★

I want you to send me a message only If you value online friendships as much as real life ones. I don't want to meet people who don't think online friends are real friends just because of some distance.

★

If you want to talk to me, tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friends you would like to have - Et cetera. Such messages are way more interesting than...someone's long list of hobbies 😊🌟

★

I also don't get along with people who don't ever ask me anything. I don't mind asking questions but one-sided conversations are a bit annoying... There's no need to any repetitive questions (or personal questions) to keep a conversation going.

★

Ps. There is no place In my life for rude people who always criticize others! It's OK to disagree with others but It's absolutely not OK to judge someone you don't even know. Not everyone Is here to ask for advice and not everyone wants to read offensive comments. The world's already cruel enough.

Please.. send me a message only If your expectations are exactly the same as mine and If you really want to talk to me on a daily basis. I don't want to sound like a broken record but I don't want you to contact me to make me feel better & then? Disappear. Pretending to be someone you're not to please others, Isn't good.

I don't want any bad atmosphere so... Ignore this post If you don't want to have a conversation with me. I'm not here to argue with anyone. I don't understand why some people always criticize others and act like they know better what's best for someone they don't even know 😔 It's always easier to judge people than to understand them. Remember people - not everything you see Is what It seems to be. Just because some posts are on Reddit all the time, doesn't mean people like me are attention seekers. Live and let others live

Hey there! My name is Nush, 24M. I’m a final year student of Dental Surgery. I'm someone who believes that life is an adventure meant to be lived to the fullest, and it would certainly be amazing to find people who share the same enthusiasm! Here’s a bit more about me:

Looks-

I'm 6 feet, I have dark brown eyes, short wavy black hair with brown streaks, I'm pretty athletic in my build, broad shoulders, long legs. My aesthetic constantly oscillates between nerd and stripper – think smart jeans and a well-fitted shirt for everyday wear, but I clean up nicely for a night out or a special occasion.

Interests:

🖋 I'm an author and a poet. I like keeping things, ideas and people immortal in my work. I'd like to think of myself as a hope collector, who likes to collect abandoned hope, repurpose it, and make it into something you would want to have in your life.

👟 I'm really passionate about the environment, and I'm very eco-friendly. I love guerilla gardening and being a rebel against the capitalist system. I'm always open to having a healthy discussion/debate even on things I don't agree upon.

🍮 I love cooking! I'm always looking forward to learning new cuisines! I also like to grow most of my ingredients. I'd say food is one of my love languages!

⭐ I really like anime, I've had this weird generational habit of collecting different rocks (Rockhounding), I hit the gym everyday, I try to be spiritual, and read. One of my recent obsessions has been chess! I'm also fascinated by history and art.

🏳️‍🌈 I'm bi and an LGBT ally! I've been in the worst depression and I've made it out. Here to give away all my love. ❤️

What I’m Looking For:

I’m drawn to people who are open-minded, adventurous, and have a positive outlook on life. Someone who can enjoy both the simple pleasures and the grand adventures. If you love spontaneous trips, deep conversations, and laughter until it hurts, we’ll get along just fine.

ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ

Yeah, as I said really lol from the UK, got a range of hobbies but I'm not sure if it's cringe to list them, so yeah, just up for having a laugh, chilling and getting to know people so feel free to send a message if you're also bored!

I'm a cinephile who can talk movies for hours, a book fanatic, and passionate about astronomy and a little bit of cooking. I enjoy doing workouts daily, making people laugh, and keeping things light.

Let's connect if you think we'd vibe!

As the title indicates, I am an otaku. I prefer girls, but I won't say no to guys. For those who don't know, an otaku is, at least in the West, a person who is a big fan of anime and manga. It is also usually related to being dirty, not washing, etc., but don't worry, I'm not like that. I usually watch cute animes, like K-On.

I am a person who really likes to read, write, and listen to music.

I also love video games, they are one of my favorite hobbies. The ones I like the most are platformers (Mario, Sonic, Pizza Tower, Shantae, etc.), RPGs (Pokémon, Undertale, etc.) and Visual Novels (Layton, Ace Attorney, etc.)

If someone has waifus/husbandos/SOs, perfect! Me too and I would like to meet them. (Please don't send me hate messages.)

As for music, well... What I usually listen to the most is Vocaloid. If you are a Vocaloid fan, rest assured I will be happy to meet you lmao

Have a good day.

Btw, if you're going to send me a message, please introduce yourself correctly. No "Hi, how are you?"

Btw (x2), I'm looking for artists who make drawings for FREE

Hey I’m looking for genuine friends! After graduating college a lot of me friends lost contact or just got too busy with life. I’ve also realized that a lot of so-called friends are only your friends for things that they needed! This has made me take a step back from looking for friends but I think I’m ready now. I love to workout, I enjoy going to clubs and dancing, I like trying new foods! I’m a down to earth person whose loyalty is unmatched!

I'm 37 female ... I'm chronically ill and can't get out of my house much I'm looking for someone to chat with about our days and people and everything... I'm married I like video game movies tv and books I also am a trained chef... I give great advice dm me

Just woke up and feeling a bit sad and lonely. It's been pretty rough both physically and emotionally, but I'm managing. Looking for a sweet gentle voice to help distract me and possibly fall back to sleep. I'm not looking for someone so I trauma dump or express myself necessarily, but to just take my mind off things and distract me. If I feel comfortable with you and I find that you're understanding, I could possibly share things with you if that's what you'd like. With this said, you're to free to talk about yourself.

I'm looking for genuine people who would also like to be friends. I've come across too many people who have made claims and then either ghost or go silent. It's hurtful.

I'm not looking to talk about work/school/politics stuff. I'm not looking for someone to cheer me up, fix me, or give me advice.

A little about me:

• I'm vegan.
• I don't drink, use drugs and smoke anything.
• I'm 6'3 and weigh about 170lbs. I have long messy hair.
• I exercise and cycle. Health is important to me.
• My background is Guyana
• I'm open, honest, kind, gentle, patient and affectionate. In other words, I'm amazing ;) However,
• I'm very sensitive and fragile (be kind and gentle with me! hahah). I don't do well with abrasiveness.
• Concerts are fun! I listen to mostly metal and OSTs.

We can exchange pictures if you'd like.

Thanks for your time!

P.S. Apparently I have a nice voice ;)

P.P.S. If you're racist/superficial, please don't contact me. I'd rather not be used to learn something new about yourself.

(Tell me your favourite colour!)

I'm a pretty quiet person, I don't like to talk a lot or a have long winded conversations with people I'm not super close to. Not to say I don't like talking at all, I just like to be quiet. I also do a lot of things by myself which for me is normal if not preferable, I enjoy shopping alone and going out to eat alone, I enjoy my own company. But like everyone else I'm only human and we all need some sort of social interaction and connections, I don't have many people I can reach out to besides family but I'm still very thankful for their support and presence in my life.

People seem to interpret my quietness for shyness, which are not the same thing. So they start seeing me as an insecure, shy, lonely young woman who desperately needs a shoulder to cry on... so they take it upon themselves to "adopt" me and essentially become my friend out of pity from the narrative that they've created in their head about me and my life.

Over time I get comfortable in the friendship and start talking more freely, then usually the person who befriended me is shocked at how "opinionated" I am and how confident I actually am because in their head I'm nothing like that, this then leads to a conversation with them about how they only started talking to me because I seemed lonely to them and it just feels like a weird saviour complex to me.

Maybe I'm alone on this but I feel really patronised when someone admits to only talking to me because they felt obligated to, because being quiet MUST mean that I'm crippled by shyness and so desperate for human attention that they must fill this void for me. It feels like I'm being viewed as a project and not a potential friend, I really hate people like this.

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, sea of thieves 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

My friend and I for a while have discussed getting a matching tattoo, it was her idea and I was onboard. Recently she went and got a tattoo with her GF and I said lets get ours next, over the last couple of weeks I have been pushing for us to get it, but I was met with the answer "I don't have the money right now" which I thought was fair. Although today I saw she was at the tattoo parlour with a few of her friends, I asked her about it and she said that she wasn't getting one, just introducing her friends to the tattoo artist and they got some, but I just saw now on one of her friends instagram accounts, that she indeed did get a new tattoo. It was either a new tattoo or a touch up, but I saw on her arm she had the plastic wrap around it. So first she lied about not having the funds, and then she lied about actually getting one or not. This has hurt me quite a bit and i'm not really sure how to confront it. Any advice would be great.

I literally stopped being friends with a pal after she treated me like a back up friend for a week now, and my best friend stopped being friends with me on December, legit on my birthday lol and I do still miss her a lot and kinda feel lonely? despite having others irl to talk to, i cant open up to them. I really could use a online buddy right now to virtually hang with, to chat with and to maybe even play video games with, and Ill be equally courteous to you.

Feel free to dm me but Bro just don't be creepy, I've legit been creeped on twice irl this month and it fucking weirded me out. I am trying to learn the guitar, I play games on the pc and ps5, I write story excerpts on some cyberpunk thriller to a fantasy to other stuff. I also write poems from time to time. Please don't reach out to me if you're not looking for a serious friendship, but if you are and even if we have no common interests, I still like a nice conversation with a pal. I don't promise to be eternal friend on day 1 but if we get along Ill be very heartened.

I like being very direct and upfront, and appreciate if you'd do the same...

Thank you

Au Revoir...

Lately I've been feeling that I have almost no social circles, so I thought to try and meet some new people on here. Who knows, if things go well we could eventually form a genuine connection.

I'd describe myself as an introverted person; very reserved at 1st but eventually able to open up more. I study international relations at university and will graduate this summer. Regarding my passions and interests I can mention cars and car related things, racing games, electronic music (as well as making it), travelling, taking pictures, discussing international relations, and overall anything that would intrigue me. It's absolutely fine if you have different interests, as I would be glad to learn about new things as well.

I will leave other things to be discussed in our conversations, as I don't want to make this post potentially overwhelming to read. Sometimes less is more. I will look forward towards your messages, so see you soon.

Firstly, sorry for bad English, because English isn't my first language, also story might be confusing because I am not able to think properly , I am just so hurt right now

For context, I 22(f) got selected in a company for customer care executive , after documentation and formalities we had to get training for 7 days and after that another interview (if we got selected in that interview then we can work their , all of this process took 15 days)

So on the very first day of our training I made a new friend there , let's call her sarah, she was my only close friend there, but she had lots of friends, everyone wanted to be her friend coz she is really pretty and extrovert, I am on the other hand , kinda average looking and introvert, so me , her and some other guys of our batch become friends, between these 9-10 days , we hung out together , they have dropped me home sometimes because I live very far away from office ,

After training and last interview, half people got selected for job ,but me sarah and some other people were not selected, so on the last day , we all were talking then one of the asked to everyone where they wanna work after this, we all decided to go for a interview in the different company at the day and he said sure I will make a group chat including you all and we can chat there, and we all went home , 2 days had passed I didn't got added to any new group chat , so I thought they might not have made it ,if they did sarah would have told me ,

After weekend , those who didn't got selected have to go for FNF , we met in the office, as they were talking someone mentioned a group chat, I asked what group chat , nobody answered, but after sometime sarah said to add me in there, but I also said I will soon leave that group chat because they all continuously text their, I didn't said anything,

But I was so hurt , other guys I can understand, but her , she also betrayed me , now they all are talking about going for an interview in a different on the same day , but when I asked nobody said anything , even she is not telling me properly, I was there for her, when she had panic attack on the day of the interview, also when she invited everyone for pizza party , she told everyone she is giving the party , but in reality I paid for all that, and I never told anyone , how could someone does , I don't know , I am so hurt right now , I just wanted to share this someone.

I am looking for genuine and deep conversations to talk to other about adventures, feeling, hopes, dreams . I tend to be an open and empathetic person who loves learning.

Hello from South Italy. 🇮🇹

I want to make new genuine friendships to talk daily, sharing thoughts, just having company and laughs, talking of everything, to know each other, long term friendship, people from Europe. Different time zones can be difficult.

I like hiking, mountain stuff, cooking, baking, games (sometimes) walking.

Please leave the age if you text.. do not text if you are going to ghost or looking for a quick chat... let's not waste time.

Last thing; not looking for depressive people, I go many of them and the conversation was just negative stuff most of the time.

People over 30+ are welcome too

i know i’m pretty shy and awkward but i really want to put the effort. i have very few in real life friends and would love to talk to more people!

i love vampires, thrillers, animated shows, and etc. i don’t love buying unnecessary trinkets/figures and over collecting books! my favorite artists right now are mitski, Radiohead, and my chemical romance!

Hey, I am 37. I am a flight attendant, and I travel for work. I love what I do but it is hard to make friends! I am married, live in Florida but see all 4 seasons when I travel. I just bought a house I am resuming flight school soon to become a pilot when I can find some loans ugh.

Let’s be friends! I’m looking for new friends and one day a bestie. I want to get to know people, and make some long lasting friendships.

Because of my job I have been to 21 countries and counting. I fly for basically free so I get to go to places I otherwise not have been able to see. I have been to places like Japan, Iceland, Hawaii, Denmark, England, Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, Canada, France, etc. looking forward to seeing even more of the world!

Im bored

Me (m19) texts friend: Catan? (8:44 pm) Friend (f18) texts me back: No 😘😘 (10:26 pm)

I just wanted to play some Catan on a Friday night. 😂 I get if someone did that and I was extremely close with them. But we aren’t even that close. At least say no with an excuse or something. Valid friend or nah? Also how should I respond??? Should I say you’re annoying for that. Should I shrug it off and say all good. I’m not that mad or anything I’m just a little annoyed. It didn’t ruin my night. Sorry for the jumbled rant.

I am a textbook introvert and i find it difficult to make friends because of my adhd. A while ago, I was completely ghosted by two of my closest friends. They are friends with each other but they have completely ousted me. That threw me into a spiral due to abandonment, i said and did a lot of things I wasn't proud of. Those of you who are introverted and have been ghosted, how did you move on and stop the hurt ?

Hey, my name is Todd and I’m from Texas. I’m just here seeing if anybody wants to talk and hopefully make some friends! Mainly looking for people to play games with and vc, but I’m down for just chatting as well.

Recently I’ve been playing Fortnite and marvel rivals, and I’m replaying terraria at the moment, but if you have any other recommendations lmk!

Hope to see ya! Only looking for other people in the US thanks

Hello. I'm just an average guy trying to make friends as an adult like half the people.

I'm into watching anime, movies, silly IG reels, etc. I watch sports too but occasionally. Into football, ufc and trying to get into basketball. I also like reading manga. So recommend me something to watch or read.

I also love to be dramatic and love asking for the tea 😌 Probably would keep you entertained if you match the vibe.

I am looking for someone who's supportive and I shall do the same. I also give good advice but tend to stress a lot at times so if we can support each other in such silly times it'll be amazing.

I also love drawing and would draw something for you if I like you 😊

Also I love nature and plants and animals and skies lol. Feel free to send me pics of them.

If you read this all and want to be friends then DM me something you like to do. Also please be at least 25 years old

Hello guys! I am a 27 year old Male from England looking for some new people to talk to

Personality wise I am pretty easy going, I love to have a laugh, my hobbies consist of watching horror movies or animes, playing video games, and making instrumentals. I also love travelling, I do like to talk on the phone a lot but also wouldn't mind just texting, whatever suits you best.

Work wise I work as a Security Officer, but i am also studying on the side to branch out to something more, I am also half Asian and also half Spanish

If anything so far has intrigued you about me, don't hesistate to message me and I can tell you so much more :) Looking forward to talk to you!

My name is Mikey, I’m 27, from the Midwest, am epileptic/disabled, and I work part-time as a recording engineer for a tiny record label. Life has been extremely relentless and difficult and I’d just like to connect with someone who would listen to me the same way I’d listen to them. We can share our pain and struggles or we can just talk about what we’re doing, our interests, trade memes, anything; there’s no limit to topics of conversation. We’ll just talk about life. Being honest, I’m just looking for someone who’ll reassure me the same way I will them when times get hard.

Hey I know how hard weekend nights can be. I love meeting new people. If you’re looking for a friend or just need someone to vent to, send me a message. You’re not alone!
