Is anyone actually looking for friends here?

Hey everyone!

I've been feeling a bit isolated lately and missing having people to talk to. Despite the name of this subreddit, it seems like my online conversations always fizzle out. Anyone else feel that way? I'd like to connect with some people who are up for more meaningful chats. I prefer to chat on Discord.

I'm based in the Northeast US, and would love to connect with some people here (or anywhere, really!). I'm 25 and work weekdays, but my evenings and weekends are usually open for cars, technology, photography, building Lego and cooking/food!

I have a very spoiled cat, who has stuck by my side through a lot of my life's ups and downs (will send pics if we ever move to another platform)

Let's chat if you're 20+ and want to have some real conversations and potential long-term friendships. Put some effort into your message (don't just say "hey"). Tell me your age, location, and hobbies/interests and let's see if we click! Please have some common interests so we have something to talk about!

21 (Transmasc) Looking for friends! (19-24) :).

Well a little bit about me is, I'm based in the UK, (GMT time zone) and I'm engaged, ever since I quit college it's been really hard looking for friends. I play lots of games on my laptop, switch, and consoles. I play games like Roblox, Minecraft, house flipper, among us, hello kitty island adventure and much more. I'm open minded, funny, friendly, caring. I also find it quite hard to make friends as well because I'm autistic (Well it is always hard talking about yourself LOL).

I'm on here to find long-term friends who are cheerful, positive, funny, open minded, talks a lot, isn't afraid to joke around and can keep a convo flowing! I love deep convos as well, I can be quite shy at first, but I think you'd prefer me to be shy because I'd probably end up yapping about weird shit! LOL.

I like writing, obs playing games as I've mentioned above, listening to music, reading, learning languages, and learning stuff like space, and much more. I'm basically online/active most of the time, I'm hard of hearing and I know BSL, (British sign language), so if you ever want to learn sign language I'm down for that haha. I binge watch a lot of YouTube and Netflix, and recently I've been binge-watching Lucifer.

I can't think of anything else to add, but I have social media, but if you wanted to you can add my discord Kairo21x, or talk on Reddit if you're interested :).

(23M) Whattup nerds, Slapnutts McGonacle here lookin for some new friends

#About me

-23, Californian, stoner

-Gamer. Lately playing a looooot of marvel rivals. Never has a game tickled my brain so much and also made me wanna commit hate crimes against fictional characters

-Nerd. I love space, chemistry, Marvel, DC, DnD (though I’ve never played. Always wanted to.), and much more. I’m full of random trivia and fun things

-I’m kind of a shy dude. I’ll either ramble way too much or I’ll be rather reserved at first. It really depends on the energy you come at me with I suppose

-I have a weird hatred for yellow that I’ve never figured out the origin for. I also have a very rational hatred for seagulls that I do have the origin for. Use that information as you see fit

Looking for friends close to my age preferably within the US (though that’s not a necessity). 20+ preferred, 18+ mandatory. Hmu with your age and a little bit bout yourself! Hope to hear from ya!

26f Looking for a partner in crime (platonic)

Hey everyone!

I hope you’re all doing well! I’m an artist, designer, and animator finishing my last semester. I’ve realized I struggle to make close friends and want to change that. I miss having people to talk to and make plans with. After some rough years, I’m excited about being close to employment and want to connect with others, possibly even work on projects together.

I’m looking for someone I can really click with. I’ve posted before but prefer one-on-one conversations. I feel like I’m missing a soulmate or a group of friends.

A bit about me: I used to game a lot but stopped and now want to hang out in person, so I’m looking for someone near Massachusetts or Rhode Island. I’m childlike at heart and sometimes miss social cues, but I connect really well in person!

I love exploring nature and hiking, but I’d want to do that with someone I know well. I want to develop a lasting friendship and I prefer voice chatting to texting.

Fun fact: I used to voice act, though you probably haven’t seen anything I was in (hopefully)!

But yeah just looking for something to platonic. Get a chance to meet up with someone and spend some real live time and make a friend. I don't have any friends I don't mind saying that but got to start somewhere!

Really looking for somebody in the long haul something deep and real, Goofy and formative! Talk to you soon

🌍✈️ Dreaming of Traveling the World + Finally Experiencing My First Halloween! Anyone Else Chasing a ‘Life Upgrade’? Let’s Chat! 🎃⚽ Hey r/CasualConversation! 👋 I’m at this wild crossroads where I want to **travel the world**, meet amazing people, and check off bucket-list experiences (like ce

Hey r/makenewfriendshere! 👋

I’m at this wild crossroads where I want to travel the world, meet amazing people, and check off bucket-list experiences (like celebrating Halloween for the first time ever—yes, I’ve never dressed up or eaten candy corn!). 🎭

But here’s the twist: I’m also diving headfirst into building an e-commerce store (dropshipping vibes 🚀) to fund these adventures. So far, no sales yet—it’s only been a week—but I’m weirdly optimistic?

About me:
Adventure junkie wannabe (currently living vicariously through travel vlogs).
Horror movie addict (recommend me the scariest film you’ve ever seen!).
Soccer + gaming nerd (FIFA or real-life goals—I’m down for either).
Professional overthinker of life choices (example: Why haven’t I tried candy corn yet?).

Let’s talk about…
🌎 Your dream travel destinations (or your weirdest travel story!).
🎮 Games that blew your mind lately.
👻 How to survive my first Halloween (costume ideas? Best candy?).
💡 Low-key advice: Ever started a side hustle while chasing a big dream? Tell me your “aha” moments!

Or just vibe with me—I’m here for chaotic conversations, unexpected friendships, and maybe finding someone who’s also obsessed with Stranger Things or Resident Evil. 🧟♂️

PS: If you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling 10 dreams at once… same. Let’s hype each other up! 🙌

26F - Seeking Emotionally Intelligent People for Daily Conversation (Subscription Not Required)

Just as the title says, I’m looking for individuals who are self-aware, compassionate, and good at expressing themselves, and who are open to regular conversation. I really appreciate connection and consistency, so I’m hoping to find someone who’s willing to put effort into getting to know each other. A bit about me: I’m into video games, music of all tastes, and am really considering getting into creating ceramic and digital art. So if you have experience in either of these, that would be a huge plus. I am down for casual or deep conversation if the feelings are right. If that sounds like something you’d vibe with, I’d love to chat!

Hey there, thanks for clicking! Pretty much all there is the title. One person asks the other a question, they answer it, and then the other person asks a question, and around and around we go.

Prefer chat or discord, but whatever works for you works for me. If you’re interested, feel free to send me a message and let’s go from there!

33M nurse winding down after a busy weekend of working

Hey all! Finished working my shift and worked all weekend. I had some dinner and am just winding down. How has your weekend been?

Here’s a little about me:

I love working out and staying active. I use to be a personal trainer. I mostly do weights now and play some soccer. I have a home gym

Traveling and exploring new places! I have been to a few places in Europe and all over the US, would love travel recs and stories!

Cooking up new recipes in the kitchen is something I really enjoy. I enjoy Italian and various seafood. Im not a great baker though

I love to garden and grow my own veggies in the summer in my small veggie garden. Also have a variety of flowers, bushes and house plants!

In my free time, I play guitar....but not well. I enjoy 90s alternative, classic rock, 00s emo plus a variety of other types!

And I can’t forget my awesome German Shepherd!

Would love to chat and see where things go. Hope youre having a good day

[37/M] Looking for friends, also a best friend!

Hoping to one day meet my best friend! The vibe has to happen. Someone who gets my level of sarcasm right away. Someone where we have things in common, we just click etc. Sarcasm is very important to me.

I am 37, and live in Florida. I am a flight attendant so I travel full time for work, and even though I live in the east coast I don’t operate on any time zone, I basically sleep when I am tired. I just bought a house, and I am resuming flight school soon to become a pilot. Flying is my life, and so are airplanes.

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!

I would describe myself as a nerd. I am a gamer, (when I have the time). I currently have a PS5, PS Portal, gaming laptop, gaming desktop, switch OLED, etc. I produce electronic music such as house, tech house, progressive house, trance, drum and bass, EDM, techno, etc. I also play drums, over 20 years now. I have over 60 songs produced, my alias is DJ Pegasus. I love music and being a musician.

I love sports, with soccer being my number one favorite, followed by baseball and hockey. I played soccer for a long time, and I still go to the batting cages from time to time.

I am excited to make friends, as flight crew it is hard to make friends, on top of it being hard to make friends as an adult. One day I want to meet my best friend, but that takes time. I am very picky as it is.

I want to meet friends I vibe with. You know right away, we have a similar mindset, we laugh right away, VERY sarcastic right away, etc. if you are looking for this too and think that we would vibe, message me!

42/M Miami. Bored. Reach out! I won’t disappoint.

Hey there, I’m Alejo, a 42-year-old guy from Miami. It’s hot here, and honestly, I’m feeling a bit lonely. I’d love someone to talk to, maybe even build something meaningful long-term. I’m an open book, a great host, and always up for a good conversation. Life gets busy, but I’d still love to connect, even if it’s just online. If you’re interested in chatting and seeing where things go, don’t hesitate to DM me.

23M, I'm drawing and need some to vc to

Everyone is welcome regardless of gender, so shoot me a message even if you're a guy. There are some requirements though: be around my age or older (>=20), be ok with voice chat (or, if you aren't, I'm okay with you typing the messages and I respond with my voice in call), and no bigotry talk, please. We can talk about anything you want, but it'd be nice if you have some personal stories that you want to share. I have zero interest in pursuing romance or any kind of sexual relationship, so our conversation should steer clear of any flirtatious banter. However, stories of your current/past relationships or just some light-hearted discussion regarding the topic are not off-limit.

That's all, see ya in the DM, and have a good day.
