18F - Christian Swede looking for some friends!

Hello everyone, Sigrid here, I am an 18 year old girl from Sweden, i am a christian by religion and pretty hard right politically

I am on here because i do want someone to talk with, however its not dumb shit like your fav color or something but i want to talk to people on theological, philosophical and religious topics as i find them the most fun

Ofc i am a Christian so i will show you my worldview but i hope youll share me yours and both of us come out more knowledgeable than how we were prior to the conversation

What i do not need is people who are judgemental like why you have so and so views? And other stuff like that

So yea while obviously fellow Christians are more than welcome in my dms i would be open to chatting with almost anyone who is interested in the above topics

Do message me on reddit chat if you find it interesting

Need a genuine friend{I'm in North Las Vegas,NV}

Hi,

I'm Michelle. I'm 44, and like the title says, I need a genuine friend. I prefer if you live where I live, or where I am going to try to move back to when I can-my home state of NC. I may move to Wilkesboro, Winston-Salem, or Greensboro. I just don't have any friends currently aside from kitties. I love seeing live rock bands, and I mostly see local bands. I also like karaoke, lyric writing, I love fantasy, Nature, and Halloween, too. I need my life to be a lot fuller. It's been hard for me to make a friend anymore. I've been ghosted, and I don't want any of that so if you are one to just stop responding for no good reason, don't respond. I don't want to talk everyday but I would talk enough. If we have enough in common, feel free to message me.

26m wide awake at 4am! Gotta love insomnia.

Pretty much the title. Definitely open to talking to just about anyone about anything! I’m on the east coast of the US. Feel free to look through my profile and see if we have anything in common. If not, I’d love to hear and learn about your interests. It doesn’t take much to make me laugh so don’t be shy; be your authentic self!

[22/M] I'm just Ken, anywhere else I'd be a ten.

I am writing this in hopes of attracting a like-minded person regardless of gender and sexual orientation that is interested in having a conversation with me as well as developing a long-term friendship.

I would consider myself to be a curious and peculiar person, so as long as you're talkative and open-minded like me, I'm sure we'll have no shortage of topics to talk about. It would be good if you're open to moving things to Discord once we feel like we've hit it.

I am of the belief that interests are not what decides compatibility between two people, but to give you an idea of what I'm like, I love to contemplate a variety of ideas (anthropology, cosmology, etc), I love jogging and working out, I also like to listen to music (although it's mostly metal and old-school trance), I also really like football, professional wrestling and talking to cats.

I am pretty talkative so I expect you to show the same energy as me otherwise I wouldn't be making this post.

33 M - Doctor looking for some conversation on this slower paced week

Basically, last week was tough. I’ve taken on a new educational post and it’s been a trial by fire in the first few weeks of the year. It has meant most of my social life has taken a back seat and probably will be for the foreseeable.

Anyhow, it’s not all doom and gloom. I have some holidays planned soon and I cannot wait to go on them. In the meantime though it would be great to chat and have some company here. I’m happy for short or long term chats.

A little about me: British, 6ft, athletic, work in mental health, love to be outdoors, and love to keep fit. That said, I do love to chill and do absolutely nothing and read or game too!

22M Seeking an Online Companion for Emotional Support, Fun, and Shared Interests

Hey,

I’ve been feeling like I need someone to connect with—someone who can share mutual emotional support, fun conversations, and lighthearted companionship. I’m not looking for a serious commitment or planning any future together, but I’d love to find someone who vibes with me and can be a positive presence in my life.

A little about me:

I’m passionate about technology, learning new things, and experimenting with ideas. If you’re into cool tech stuff or love geeking out over new discoveries, we’ll definitely have something to talk about!

I enjoy watching movies, playing games, and having meaningful conversations.

I value kindness, humor, and curiosity in people.

What I’m looking for in you:

Someone who is open to casual, online-only companionship.

You’re supportive, communicative, and enjoy giving/receiving compliments to boost each other’s day.

You’re into shared activities like watching movies together, gaming, or just chatting about life and interests.

Ideally, you have your own hobbies or passions that we can talk about or explore together.

You’re emotionally mature and understand the importance of boundaries.

This connection would be purely online and casual—no pressure, just two people supporting and enjoying each other’s company while it lasts.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, feel free to reach out! Tell me a bit about yourself and what you’re looking for. Let’s see if we click!

Sunday night chats with an Aussie anyone?

So, I find myself on this Sunday night in Australia listening to the wind howling and the rain drizzling while watching a B grade shark movie.

As fun as that is I thought, why not see if anyone is up for a chat?

I am happy to chat to anyone, anywhere, just please be over 21 and no one with a bias against homosexuality, ethnicity or disabilities.

28M US/Anywhere - Looking to make friends. Any takers

Hey there! I'm in the US. I’m an entrepreneur who’s long days don’t allow for personal time, and I’d like to change that. I’m looking for someone to chat with and get to know. Someone to have a nice conversation with. I want to hear about your day and how your doing. I’m shy at first but loosen up fast. I’m a good listener. I like to always have fun at whatever I’m doing. I'm non judgmental and don’t get offended. Looks aren’t important to me, if that’s a concern of yours. Hope to chat and get to know you soon. DM to start off a great friendship

Hi. I need a friend. I would like one. But before anyone decides be my friend I'd like to be honest...

This is difficult for me. Very difficult for me. I'm 40 years old. It seems that most of you in this sub are in your twenties or early 30s. So right off the bat I feel like I don't belong here.

I'm going to try anyway. It is r/needafriend after all.

I feel like I can write a novel here but if you've read this far then I've already wasted enough of your time.

I like meeting new people. I like hearing new perspectives. I like learning new things. I like interacting with people that are nothing like me.

You know what, I've already said enough. Sorry if you've read this and feel like you wasted your time.

If you're still reading, thank you. I appreciate it. I'm a lonely guy. That's all I can say I think. I don't know how else to put it. I know I'm not the nicest person out there but I do my best. I do my best to be thoughtful and considerate.

See, I did it again... I went off on a tangent.

Okay, I'm going to do my best to break it down...

I'm not a great guy but I do my best to do what's right. I've made so many mistakes that it leaves me overwhelmed. Through everything I just wish I had a friend. A real friend. A regular friend. I don't need anything special. I don't need your undivided attention. I think it would be very nice there was someone out there I could talk or text with once in awhile. I don't need to discuss deep introspective thoughts. Though I am happy to. I don't need to hear every awful story of your childhood, but I'm happy to listen.

I feel like I could write a couple more paragraphs but I'm not going to because I'm already embarrassed with what I've said so far.

This subreddit is called "need a friend". I need one. I'd like one.

I don't know if I'll find a friend here, it'd be nice if I did.

Okay. Take care of everyone. Be good to yourself. Remember to put yourself first. After all, we can't help anyone if we haven't yet learned how to help ourselves.

28M - looking to cure this loneliness

Honestly, it’s rare but sometimes I feel lonely. Today happens to be one of those days. I’m by no means looking for something long term although I’m completely open to it.

Let’s chat about anything and everything. What’s on our minds today. What is our favorite foods or music. Give me your best conspiracy theory or even something you nerd out on. By all means infodump..

As for me, I play piano and guitar. I’m a massive goth rock fan along side classic rock and punk, classical music and new wave. I was definitely born in the wrong era. I recently got introduced to d&d so please feel free to talk about that, if it’s something that interests you!

I’m kind of a hopeless romantic as well so I may or may not get sappy.

Well, if you made it this far and are down to chat, shoot me a dm. Anything besides the classic “hey” tell me about yourself, your hobbies and please be at least 24+

29M - #Online - open to connections from anywhere

Hey there! Let me introduce myself: I'm an exceptional listener and an enthusiastic cookie connoisseur. If you're cool with me devouring cookies like the Cookie Monster, then we'll hit it off just fine. I'm all about having a good time and embracing adventure! Traveling is my passion, along with immersing myself in diverse cultures and indulging in their cuisines. So, if you're feeling a bit bored and in need of a pal, let's brainstorm some unique handshakes!

Here's a bit more about me:

-I'm a tech-savvy, sarcastic nerd.

-My taste in music varies depending on my mood. Feeling ambitious? It's rap/hip-hop time. Otherwise, EDM, jazz, oldies, blues, and pop hit the spot.

-When it comes to video games, you'll find me diving into Warzone, Valorant, GTA, Rust, and CS:GO. Beware though, I may shed a tear or two when those 12-year-olds start bullying me.

-Food is my love language. Cake, cookies, ice cream, pizza... basically anything that isn't a green vegetable (yuck!). And tattoos? Count me in—I'm inked up myself!-As for sports, I'm a fan of basketball, baseball, and football. Although, I have a knack for getting hit in the... well, you know where, quite frequently with those balls.
