22m feeling a little depressed and could use a friend

Hi! I'm from the usa and currently in college. I study STEM so life is pretty rough haha. I struggle a lot with depression and anxiety, but I've worked a lot on my mental health and I'm finally ready to make some new friends. I don't have the most hobbies at the moment, but I'm trying new things and up for new suggestions! I love animals and have a super cute 2 year old Shih Tzu. I'm also LGBTQ (bi) and would love to meet more people from that community!

Also this is a throwaway account, if we do become friends I'd like to move to discord if that's okay :)

[22M] is there any Vocaloid fan here? Or an otaku?

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

22M/Brazil—looking for French-speaking email-pals

Hello! My name is Daniel, I am 22 years old, born and raised in Brazil. I am finishing a degree in social sciences, and I just began studying French. And well, there is this guy who has a blog about great untranslated literature and who says he learned most of the languages he speaks by reading novels in the target language with a dictionary by his side—that is, after reading a few textbooks on its grammar and so on.

I am far from being as intelligent as this guy, but I just went back to studying French—and right now, I can barely say much more than I wake up at such time, or he likes to eat cheese, and so on, though I expect to progress quickly (I am taking two intensive courses this summer!)—, and I have realised that this method may be adaptable and attainable this way, making things more interesting as well—though I certainly don't plan on this method replacing regular classes. I could reply either in Portuguese or English. And you could write part of the emails in Portuguese or English (or even Spanish) as well.

As for more about myself, I like theory, history, cinema, literature, writing, photography, genealogy, and all that.

23F// Woke up from a nightmare and could use the chat 🫶

It wasn’t a nightmare where you wake up in sweats or anything but needless to say I don’t want to try to go back to sleep.😴 I’m just looking for good, clean, fun conversation! I’m pretty much an open book and we can talk about pretty much anything! I hope you’re having a good morning and hopefully we’ll talk soon!💕

27M Looking for texting friends

I kinda suck at speaking English so I'm not comfortable with VC, so text only haha.

I'm looking for a friend to talk about stuff and chat throughout the day, my job is pretty chill so I have a lot of time to chat.

I mostly like stuff like, drawing, manga, offline games, a bit of tech stuff, and design, the basics. I'm not really interested in any political or religious discussions, unless it's funny.

You can ask more if you want, idk

35M Toronto, Canada Looking for someone to voice with.

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 wish I had a muslim friend.

I hope this isn't offensive, truly. I'm don't consider myself a part of any religion. Period. I've been so interested in the Quran and I've "studied" it for a few years now (i put that in quotations because it's still very confusing to me but I never give up on it). Where I live i don't encounter Muslims often, but everytime I do i find myself having to refrain from getting over excided and wanting to know everything and ask questions. I don't have many friends at all, but I know this is one thing I could really bond over. The Quran is the most beautiful book I own, and i would protect it with my soul. I read passages from it nearly daily and everytime I learn something new. There is just something about a book that just feels as if it's written specifically for you. I dont really expect much to come of this post, it's just something I've been wanting to post and get out there for a while.
