28M from Australia – Lonely, depressed and in need of friends.

Social anxiety and depression have basically left me no better off now at 28 than I was when I left high school. I don’t feel like I’m a ‘real adult’ and have basically lost the ability to connect with anyone new because of it.

I can’t find the drive to actually go out and engage with people because I know I’m not the type of person people want to be around. But at the same time, I know an overall lack of social interaction is a part of my problem.

I don’t want to be a downer around others, but that’s just kind of who I am at the moment. I don’t really have anything to talk about. I don’t really have any special interests or skills that make me interesting, nor do I really have anything going on in my life.

Honestly, I’ve isolated myself for so long at this point, the thought of friendship almost scares me but at the same time I know that good relationships are healthy and worth pursuing. I do have some people I can call friends, but nobody really close enough to talk about any of this kind of stuff with. This is all a bit depressing I know, I don't want it to be but that's kind of where my life is right now.

26M. It’s dangerous to go alone, take this!

🗡️ - Here!

Now that that’s out the way, hello! I hope you’re having a wonderful day. I’ve posted on this sub a bunch of times before but hopefully this will be the last time. Just to clarify, I’m not single so I’m NOT looking for anything beyond friendship.

A little bit about me - I’m a manager in a restaurant, I work far too often and don’t get nearly enough time to do the things I like. But when I’m not working, here’s a few things I try to enjoy! Anime, manga, horror movies, music, gaming, pro-wrestling, and probably much more!

To be totally honest, I’m just ridiculously lonely and I don’t have many friends. In an ideal world, you’d be my new best friend! Failing that, just a pal would be acceptable. If you’ve got this far and think we’d get on, drop me a message with a little bit about you!

Safe travels!

Hello! I don't have any plans for Halloween this year, and I was gonna watch Venom: Let There Be Carnage tonight, and I figured, why not watch it with some new friends!! I can screenshare and we can watch on discord :)

A short blurb about me: I'm a junior psych major and an English minor who just turned 22 last week!! I love all types of music except metal and country, with people like Eminem, beabadoobee, Kanye, and laufey being my favorites. I enjoy journaling and taking nice walks outside! Also looove the Venom movie series if you couldn't tell haha.

So yeah! Hmu if you want to watch!! :) hope you're having a happy halloween! Any gender is fine, just he 19+!

34/M - Looking for some friends.

Anyone else going through the same thing? If so, we should definitely talk. I haven't had the best week and would like a distraction even for a little bit but would be fine with long term too. When I'm not down in the dumps, I like to play video games and watch anime for the most part.

I'm a decent conversationalist so even if we don't have anything in common, I can keep a conversation going as long as it doesn't consist of one word answers. No one likes those. I use Discord mainly so if you'd like to chat, feel free to message me

24F Looking for new friends (preferably close friends, not casual)

Hey there! I’ve been searching for new friends for a while and not had success with apps like Boo and Bumble where ppl tend to ghost or not know how to hold convos. I’m kinda frustrated and have run out of energy to put into those apps given the outcomes that keep happening.

I’m a tv nerd, neurodivergent, INFJ, into journaling and love indie/pop/rock music, love learning more about psychology and enjoy having deep convos. I’m open to friendships with anyone of any gender, as long as no intent for more than platonic friendship is involved. I have a partner :)

As my bio on Boo says: “Honestly just looking for a best friend or two that want to stick around for the long haul. I’m the ride or die type of friend, and would love to find others who are the same way 💙

I’m an open book and don’t judge, so pleaseee be your most genuine self with me and feel free to ask me anything. I’ll do the same with you ❤️ I’m searching for my ✨people ✨”

Looking forward to chatting ☺️

[18/M/UK] Just looking for people to talk to

As the title says, I'm an 18-year-old boy from the UK. I'm into video games and movies/TV shows. I'm a big nerd when it comes to Spider-Man (as you can tell from my profile picture). I figured that I'm probably not the only one that's feeling bored and wants to meet new people, so I thought I'd make a quick post on here to see if anyone wants to talk. Feel free to drop a DM 🤠

27M Living in Germany, looking for something long term

Hi I am a foreign student in Germany and working a part time job.

Outside my classmates I don't really have friend and don't know how to make new friends either.

I am into Animes, Series and computer games. In my free time I like hiking, going for long night walks and riding my bicycle from time to time.

Maybe also when we get to know each other more, we could meet and go watch a movie, eat something and go for a walk.

Looking forward to hearing from you !

28M Looking for long term nerdy friends

Hey there!

Thanks for checking out my post! I'm a 28 year old dude living in New Zealand. It's hard making friends as a big kid but here I am trying! My best? Probably not. Still trying though? You bet.

So about me: I'm a makeup artist by trade, dog parent to a smooth haired fox terrier, an INFJ if that kinda thing floats your goat, dark lord successor to Sauron, and a big ol nerd. I like horror and fantasy everything, with a sprinkle of sci fi here and there - video games, movies etc etc. I like MMOs, survival horror games, RPGs. A big fan of horror movies and if you have any obscure ones you don't think I'll know, I'd love to hear them! Other interests of mine are MTG, drawing, listening to music, desperately trying to keep my dying pot plants alive, conjuring some dark outer god and trying to become the immortal hivemind ruler of the galaxy.

Not looking for voice calls or a gaming buddy (despite being a gamer), more so looking for people to text and get to know who have similar interests.

If any of what I've said has ticked a box or two for you, feel free to send me a message! I have discord if you'd prefer talking through that instead of janky reddit chat. Please just be 18+ (ideally mid 20s+) and LGBT+ friendly, thanks!

f/15/us - looking for friends, anyone excited for Halloween? also looking for some Dad advice!

hey, i'm katie, i'm 15, and i was super pumped for halloween this year... until my dad decided to completely ruin it. i picked out this costume i loved, and yeah, it’s kinda on the edgy side, but like it’s halloween? it’s not like i'm planning to wear it to school or something. but he saw it and flipped out, said it's “not appropriate” and i should “respect myself.” like seriously? i'm 15, not 5.

he keeps pushing me to wear something “classy” (whatever that means) and actually suggested i go as a witch. like, come on, that’s not the vibe i’m going for at all. i get he's just being protective or whatever, but it feels like every time i try to pick something for myself, he’s gotta shut it down. it’s just so annoying, i don’t want to look like a little kid. does anyone have costume ideas that won’t get me grounded but still don’t look, like, totally lame?

27m - Hey beautiful people of Reddit!

Hey people, I'm looking for someone to chat, I'm pretty bored. We can chat about anything really. I love gaming, good movies /shows, books, music, also if you're interested in history, I'm here🙋🏻‍♂️ Also I love 40k👀 We can practically chat about anything, send memes, selfies, don't mind voice messages 🤷🏻‍♂️👀

As I hate ghosting I promise I won't ghost you👀

I prefer long period chats, quick ones are getting boring. Also if you're gamer, definitely hit me up, I'm on Playstation, but we can manage some crossplay as well, always looking for a new game buddies, just mind I'm EU time zone, so yeah.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

PS : try to start with something original or creative, would be appreciated 🤭.. But I'll answer anyway
