18M need anyone to talk to

Hi, I am making this post because I'm bored. I just want something to do other than laze around as I have a lot of free time now and I want to talk to people around my age. I am into music, videogames and learning the guitar. Dm me with some stuff about yourself. Also, I want to let you know that I suck at conversation and texting, as you can see from how dry this text is. So please don't ghost me or something bcz of that. Feel free to talk about whatever you want. Waiting for replies!

looking for kind support and friendship. I am an accepting person:)

Hey there : ) I'm a 24 year old guy from the states. Would love a sensitive/kind friend for support

So my situation right now is that I have a lot of free time, I'm in between routines and I'm looking for a new passion.

I'm really not doing well, been depressed, having a lot of nerves and can't get out of bed a lot recently. Feels like my whole life doesn't exist anymore and has no meaning. I need people to remind me of my value once again if possible

I really really need a friend

I can be reliable and kind, I will do what I can to support you no matter who you are.

I like pc games, reading philsophy and atlases, music like shoegaze and rock. I watch a lot of documentaries too. Space stuff, history, geographic. Old computers, game analysis just anything

Just watch me tell you how I'm watching the most senseless topics and useless info. I'm quite a boring person in description but in practice I can be more interesting : )

I'm just going through a depression right now and I could really use a friend that's patient, maybe comforting, that I can really vibe with and will understand that I sleep a lot or that my patterns are a little out of whack right now because I am not doing too well

Im from the western USA however I'm cool with friends from anywhere, I'm pretty good with timezones.

Let me know if you're interested and send me a message. Really need to heal. Thanks

26F; Need a friend. Anywhere.

I have been really stressed lately due to graduate school and my job so I'd love it if I could have a person to talk to and be there for me. As I will rest on you as a pillar; so too can you vent to me.

I am a part-time butcher, trilingual and I'm currently in the middle of my PhD. Occasionally I do play videogames, some recent ones include Manhunt, Danganronpa, Fallout 3 and the Monkey Island games.

27f down on my luck, could use cheering up! ☀️

Hello there! I’m Kat! I love animals! I’ve spent a decade working with them in every way possible. From shelters to daycares, rescues and fosters, goat farms and pet stores. Being vegetarian for 15 years as well as a pet nutritionist. I’m currently a petsitter and I’m training to become a dog trainer! I love scary movies and ghibli films, retro video games stardew valley. I also love painting or hiking in my free time, as well as going to the zoo or aquarium! Lately I’ve been having a hard time in life, my father passed away due to a drunk driver six months ago. I also got divorced from my husband. My car was totaled and I don’t have the funds to get a new one, because my cat started having seizures and the vet bills took all of my savings. Thankfully my cat is okay now though! Anyways, all of this stress is a little much to deal with, and I was hoping I could make some new cool friends! Tell me about yourself and distract me from my life for a bit! 🥰

38m looking for a friend to talk sports etc with

Long story very short I had a couple BFFs for decades and they turned out to be awful people, weren't really ever my friends and I just tried to force it to work having a 1 way relationship almost the entire time and they got so insane politically (I'm talking saying Hitler wasn't wrong etc...) I had to end the "friendship"

It's impossible to find new BFFs at this age, especially in a city you didn't grow up in. I have had a rough time with literally having no friends and nobody to talk to about things going on in the world or my passions/hobbies/interests has been tough. I'm also a night owl. So anyway, looking for someone to chat with. I'll throw a few things down I'm passionate about in somewhat of an order.

  • Sports, especially NFL. I love talking about every team. I love the draft. Fantasy too. But I dig all sports really
  • Pro wrestling-was obsessed as a kid in the attitude era, and have been watching more again lately
  • Music/Concerts
  • edibles/craft beer
  • Movies/TV shows
  • tech/apple stuff
  • cars mostly sports cars like Porsche, Corvettes anything fun
  • personal finance stuff
  • traveling
  • politics/economy
  • being a good person/humanitarian/helping people/equality

Hey all ❤️ I'm 23, NB, and from the UK looking for some new internet friends!! I have a pretty funky schedule and work a lot so a texting buddy would be amazing! I'm currently getting cozy and about to read a book for an hour or two (or Six) before bed and I'd love some company! Hopefully it'll bloom into a lovely friendship! 💖

I've been getting back into FF14 lately, and digging into lots of the content I have to finish off and preparing for Dawntrail this summer! I play on light - show off n tell me about your chara!? (I love G'raha so much <3 ) I'm also making my way through my (very long) TBR! Currently I'm reading Oathbringer by Sanderson, and I'm really into Sci Fi and fantasy!

I adore gaming, manga / comics, movies and anime as well - typical nerdy fun stuff!! 💖

I'm very light hearted, non judgemental and a sensitive soul, if you think we'd click please send a message/chat!!

21, 🇨🇦 looking for weeb frens and to chat with every now and then?

F. I've always enjoyed asking how are things going, learning how is life of others and checking in, it's a little boring but it'll lead to something more and enjoyment of another company. So lemme be your friend and check in!

Here's things about me!

I love anime and mangas, especially Vtubers (hololive entirely). I adore romance animes and anything cute, it's the best.

Also I enjoy video games, I've played all of the consoles (just no PC unfortunately yet) and I have a lot of favorites, but playing Fortnite a lot recently! JRPGs are a favorite to spend time by myself, gotta love a nice story

I am also an artist, so if you're one let's be art friends and share our arts. I love drawing anime girls Got two cats, I love my babies.

And lastly, I don't mind if we don't have much in common as long we vibe. I like the loners. Anything remotely flirty/lewd directed at me is an instant block

Please have a good day regardless if you're interested or not, friends are nice to have and we'll find em! Happy Wednesday!

(M22) looking for good friends and silly personalities!

My name is Jacob, but people call me Jabo. I'm 22 years old from the US! I have always struggled with making friends, and I think that's mostly because I'm afraid to put myself out there. And this is me doing that.

I'm mostly looking for someone I can just chat with and maybe occasionally hang out. Nothing too wild. I don't play a ton of online games, so having online friends feels like a struggle a lot of the time.

I don't think I'm super interesting or cool. But I try my best to be a good friend. I love making people laugh and I have several nerdy interests. Oh look, here's some down there!

Mostly single player games like Batman Arkham or Shadow of the Colossus. Favorite TV show is Doctor Who. I enjoy anime, but haven't watched a lot. I'm a big fan of making digital art, but am not good at it. I like animals (I have two cats I can show you pictures of). I'm also a big fan of Pro Wrestling, mostly NJPW don't judge me.

I'm pretty shy, but I do my best to pretend I'm not, so if you have any interest in this lonely 22 year old, feel free to message him!

23M - here for a close friend

Well I'm one of the most caring people I've ever met. I not one to talk good about myself but Im confident in my ability to care. Trying to be confident with it. I'm a bit weird but I'm myself and everything is genuine

I got all sorts of hobbies and interests. Games, beekeeping which I've made plans for and designed stuff for when I get a hive, mead making would be fun (it's like a science), anime, cooking, baking, thrifting. I also have a bunch of things I know about but haven't got to start like bow making, natto making, ink making, paper making. I have so much useless knowledge honestly.

Ask about my favorite anime or games. Can even possibly call on discord and/or play games sometime

I'm a big hugger, but only with people I care about and trust for it.

I overthink because of past experiences sometimes btw, so reassurance is nice. And I'll reassure you back.

I'm basically a therapist for everyone around me so I'm down to talk about problems too. Let me take care of you :3

I need good people who will stay and care for me mutually. I'm a good messager if you try too.

Just got glasses recently.

Send a DM if you'd like to try to be friends

  • Open minded, have common sense, and don't take things super seriously.
  • You're into the same stuff as me.
  • You're into different stuff than me - I like exploring new things.

23 (M?) Need someone to talk to

Realized I’ve been isolated lately, don’t really have any irl friends. I’d like to meet someone to talk to anonymously.

I like geeky stuff mostly and I tend to cycle through interests but kind of in limbo right now so open to talking about anything.

I guess lmk if u wanna chat I’m not really sure how this works

Anyone interested in being a true friend and not just a one night chat?

I would describe myself as a funny dude. Humor and i are synonymous but that doesn't mean I'm going to joke every possible second. Curiosity is in my DNA i guess. So you might often find out I'm asking many questions. Hmm..what else i missed...well you'll find out more once you start chatting.

Things i like are looking at the sky, enjoying the beauty of the full moon when it comes out, spending times in nature, listening to EDM's and some pop musics, watching endless hours of youtube videos, watching wrestling matches, reading books. I read non fictions and thrillers mostly. Haven't tried any romance novel. If you want to suggest some then be my guest! Some other things I'm interested in are space,history,human psychology, philosophy, rhyming, cars, guns and few other stuffs. Btw, I'm not into video games. So can't talk about it with you sadly. Timezones don't matter. So see ya in my chat/dm. 27M btw

23F] Looking for friends <3

Sooo, the holidays are over, and my final semester is already finished, but the internship required by the school isn't. I still need to go to the office to work as an OJT student. ( i do my job here and learn things i need to learn but i finished it as fast as i can bc i still have lots things i wanna do]

So I won't have much of a social life again bc of it, My next rest days are this Saturday and Sunday, but I don't think I'll be resting much as I still have lots of responsibilities for myself and my hobbies, and bonding with my family and friends.

But, hello, I'm here again! I'm actually getting bored of replying and typing anymore. I just want to talk and listen; I don't think typing is for me. Is anybody here willing to do a video call? I'm just looking for a friend and someone to talk to, and nothing more.

Don't get me wrong, I have a bunch of friends, but I find it boring to always talk to them and dont wanna just revolve my life around them, so I just want to spend some time talking to strangers.

You can talk to me about anything: your life, love life, family, lessons learned, and realizations.

✨I'M OPEN FOR LONG TERN/SHORT TERM FRIEND✨

I prefer to talk to 20-30y.o /ANY GENDER/

✨ NO DIRTY TALKS✨

About me

  • Curious soul

  • Extrovert (I do socialized with ppl everyday but when it's night, i still have lots of energy and i feel bored and only used phone, so i want to make friendship online) I'm also a homebody sometimes

  • Im still a student and taking Accountancy and doing part time teachjng accounting (dont ask me 'bout this anymore)

  • i have pets (dogs,cats)

  • I love travelling and discovering new things (havent travelled outside the country yet bc still wanna travel the good place in my own country)

  • i like cooking and experimenting

  • swimming, cycling, modelling, volleyball, little basketball, badminton, running, listening to music, learning new things, are my favorite thing to do.

  • my fav subject is ACCOUNTING, HISTORY AND SCIENCE

I used to love history and science but I always end up debating w/ ppl about this when it comes to certain topic so im trying to just forget this and tried my best not to talk bout history/science

-I play online game like Mobile legends and 8ball pool only, but it'd be good if you can suggest me good game that we can play online on phone, my pc is still under maintenance.

[IF EVER I REPLY LATE, hope u still wanna talk]

My time is GMT+8

WONT ENTERTAIN BORING PPL

Posting it again

24m - Looking for long-term friendship

I want to make friends, long-term if possible. I'll try my best to connect with people. I like to think that as long as me and the other person try our best, it's possible to create a healthy, platonic, relationship. I'm not searching for anything specific, because experience has taught me that oftentimes the best friendships are born from meeting someone who's a total alien to your own subjective reality. Still, there are things I feel like are required, but they're basic things such as: respecting each other's privacy, basic decency, civility, etc. Just a note about privacy: please don't ask me where I'm from, my real name, etc. I think that these things are naturally revealed through the process of getting to know someone. I don't feel very comfortable about sharing all the details of my life to a stranger on the internet right away. If we keep talking, you'll surely get to know it all. If that's a dealbreaker to you, message someone else.

It's important to me that the potential friend is willing to actually listen to me just as they're willing to talk to me. It might sound obvious, but sometimes we have the faux impression we're having a conversation with someone, when it's actually just a monologue with a spectator. Naturally, it doesn't mean i don't want people to talk about themselves, I certainly don't mind listening about your experiences, events in your daily life, views , etc. What I mean is that it's always good to listen as well as you speak and if it so happens that I'm failing in this regard, then please keep me in check. Don't overthink this or think of me as someone with too many requirements. All I want is to talk to another human for real and not just for the sake of doing so. Reality is dynamic, we can always switch from a serious topic to something lighthearted. That's pretty much it. Other than that, just be yourself.

As for my interests I like music (except rap, mainstream pop, country), movies (prefer older titles), games (stuff like Dark Souls and Silent Hill), literature (from philosophy books to poetry), nature, cats, and many other big and small things. I also like art.

Please do not message me if you're not 18+
