Seeking letter-writing friends (35F Canadian)

Hi!

35F Canadian - I'm looking to build long-term friendships via letter-writing. I find the space of a letter to be a natural opportunity to decelerate the mental processes and truly discover how one thinks. I find I'm also at a point in life where I'm overstimulated by the amount of people who have immediate emotional access to me, and how shallow the interactions are - with a letter, I can choose a time when I'm in a headspace to open your letter with great anticipation, which is this incredibly unique and deep mode of listening to your perspective on life.

I'm intrigued by big ideas, new inventions or shifts in culture, psychology, philosophy, astrology, astronomy, reading, writing, walking, and nature.

Send me a DM if you're interested!

29M / Boise / Looking for new friends :)

Hello! I'm a 29 year old male, and I live in Boise, Idaho. I own my own custom PC company, I'm in school for computer science and I work out a lot. I've played multiple instruments for most of my life, and I've been on a couple tours through the US playing bass music. I don't talk to many people anymore. I've learned to live with my own company, and that's totally fine but with that being said, I'm trying to branch out and look for some new friends! We can use Reddit DMs, or we can send letters/cards.

If you're interested, let me know. :)

25F looking for bisexual pen pals from around the world

I'm a 25 year old bisexual woman living in Cape Town, South Africa. I'd love to have bisexual pen pals from other parts of the world, women with whom I can share life experiences and so forth. I'm a part-time student and part-time worker, and I'm from a Catholic family and Christian country(Zimbabwe) both which do not accept bisexuality.

I'd basically like to be able to talk to someone who understands, and someone whom I equally understand. There is just so much you cannot talk to with the people in your everyday life.

F/22/USA (snail mail)

Hi I’m Josie. I’m looking for penpals who are strictly interested in sending snail mail/postcards (I might consider emails but it’s not preferred) I’m 22 yo from Texas. I have 3 cats. I currently dabble in witchcraft and I’m learning more about paganism and different deities. I love all things fantasy from dragons to fairies. I have various collections like crystals and charms and have started different hobbies, like herbalism, painting, and baking. I love experimenting with teas and hope to one day have a large herb collection. I would love connecting with people who share similar interests. I will move to Missouri next year and would love to learn from someone about gardening, homesteading and foraging. If you are interested please message me.

36 M UK - Hello there! I hope you’re doing well?

Good Morning / Afternoon / Evening to you!

Thank you for stopping by on my post, I hope you’re doing well? A newb in the Reddit universe so while I check out some subreddits I thought I’d post here and hopefully speak to someone from around the world, being in the UK it would be nice to speak to people across the globe but that doesn’t mean people from the UK can’t message also!

A little about me - I work in finance and that’s an absolute yawnfest so I’ll try and not bore you with that, in my free time I enjoy going on walks, photography, photo editing - definitely a work in progress hobby but hopefully I’ll get there one day. I like the usual things that everyone puts - travelling, music, films, YouTube hopping and of course the occasional beer! I enjoy watching hockey although it’s been a while since I’ve been to a game. One of the more random hobbies is checking where the plane above me is flying, normally wishing I was on it! I don’t know what else to write here but hopefully the above is a good start.

It would be good if we could speak a few times a day as sometimes when I work at home it does get a bit boring and I end up speaking to my Homer Simpson teddy. Please be over 18 and if you can bring the banter that would be greatly appreciated! Until then have a great day and take it easy!

35M for Platonic journey friend!

Hello there! I hope this message finds you well. I'm a 35M from Europe, currently on a journey to find genuine connections and meaningful conversations. I realized the importance of surrounding myself with like-minded individuals who can appreciate the beauty of introspection and personal growth.

I consider myself an INFP, driven by empathy and a constant desire to understand the human experience. I've always been fascinated by the complexities of our minds and hearts, which led me to delve into the fields of philosophy, spirituality, and psychology. I find solace in contemplating life's big questions and discussing them with open-minded souls who appreciate the beauty of introspection.

When I'm not lost in profound conversations, you can often find me immersed in the enchanting world of books. Fiction and non-fiction alike, I'm always eager to dive into new stories and explore different perspectives. Additionally, I have a deep appreciation for nature and love spending time outdoors, hiking and exploring the tranquil beauty that surrounds us.

Though I'm currently single, I do cherish the bond I have with my family and close friends. Relationships built on trust, mutual support, and genuine understanding are truly invaluable to me. I'm also passionate about personal development and embracing life's ups and downs with grace, learning from every twist and turn.

If my words resonate with you and you share a similar inclination towards deep and meaningful conversations, I would love nothing more than to connect with you.

Peace and love to everyone!

26M || Wanna chat about anything? Let's go

Hello!

I want you, or at least to have a conversation with you. I don't mind if this will lead to us being friends or we'll ghost each other in a couple of hours, but I still want you.

Let's have a chat about anything and everything you want. I really don't mind and I love mundane talks. The kind that some people consider "too boring." This talk surprisingly is the kind that people seems to chat about the most, from my experience at least.

We can talk about books, movies, anime, manga or shows that you like. We can talk about work (I have this full week off! Yaaaaay me), rent or us feeling alienated.

Let's try to have a chat. If it worked great, if it didn't that's absolutely fine and I still wish all the best.

Please just be 22+

[24/M] - UK, let's chat 😊

Hey! My name is Connor and I'm 24 years old and I'm from the UK, England to be exact. I'm interested in science and maths and I have a masters in physics.

I also love music, particularly blues and rock, and I have been playing the guitar for about 9 years. I also enjoy reading and gaming. I play on PlayStation, so it'd he cool to maybe have some gaming buddies too!

I'm also learning Spanish (around beginner/intermediate) so if you speak Spanish or are from a Spanish speaking country then that'd be cool!

It would be nice to meet some new people and chat every now and then. When I'm not at work my replies are relatively fast, however sometimes reddit doesn't send me notifications so apologies if I don't reply for a while.

So if you'd like to chat for a bit then feel free to message me 😊 tell me your age, gender and location (general not specific) when you message

18 Male from California- seeking penpal(s)

Hi!!! I’m Bug, I live on the California coast and seeking a few penpals!

Would love someone who’s willing to write long term- but life happens and I am very understanding.

I love love love animals, I have a fifty gal freshwater fish tank, three cats, a dog, three guinea pigs and used to raise pigs.

I enjoy reading the classics and the books they probably force you to read in school, writing; predominantly poetry, collecting weird lil vintage things like old picture frames, porcelain clown dolls, liquor bottles etc. I have a decently sized VHS, CD and cassette collection cause analog makes me happy + I just like having physical CD album copies.

I love horror movies especially if they’re bad and with practical effects, and I love nu metal, riot girl esque music and things yippies probably did and/or would jam to.

If you like or think any of this is interesting and enjoy weird and fun cards- please I encourage you to dm and we can chat for a bit and hopefully write!!

32M Niagara Region, Canada. Hoping to make some gay penpal friends.

Hello, my name is Adam (he/him). I'm hoping to make some new gay friends around the world. I'm a wastewater treatment operator in Ontario, Canada. It's a fascinating job but the night shifts can be quite slow and lonely! I'd like to have some friends to chat with during long night shifts and to develop some meaningful friendships.

I am very introverted and spend most of my time working or studying. In my free time I enjoy playing video games, reading, listening to audiobooks and podcasts, and playing Dungeons & Dragons.

I connect well with other gay/lgbtq, nerdy people. I am open to a penpal from anywhere. I am interested in any form of communication. I think snail mail would be interesting! If you'd like to get to know each other or have questions, please ask!

Looking for penpal, 29 f from Virginia

Hi, I'm Aly and I'm looking for some snail mail partners! I love doing what I call grandma hobbies. I love crocheting and knitting blankets and dolls. I also do cross-stitching! I love cross stitching cause it is like pixel art. I also do digital art and am getting into paper art and making jointed paper dolls.

A little more personal stuff about me. I am not religious but I am spiritual. I believe in some sort of higher power, but what that is I don't know.

I am a breast cancer survivor and am disabled and can't work at the moment. I love sending letters but I don't really do fancy ones but I do sometimes send stickers and such.

If that sounds interesting to you lets connect!

A first message, open to response from all

Well it us a dreary, drizzly Saturday and I figured I would just write a first message to YOU, the reader, whoever you may be. It’s probably as good as any other first message I might write, given we never know much of anything about each other to start with. So if you find something appealing in the disembodied writing style that is me (from your perspective) then by all means please write back, whoever you may be.

Although it’s quite late I think I’ll try and make some homemade french toast sticks with caramel for dessert. I know I did it once before and it turned out nicely, but I can’t remember whatever made up proportions I used for a recipe unfortunately. I should try to keep a recipe book, but I always (wrongly) believe if I was able to successfully improvise something once I ought to be able to do it again. Do you have any favorite recipes? Any sentimental or nostalgic family recipes in particular? My parents were never much for cooking, so most my childhood food nostalgia is focused on your typical mix of 90s junkfood like lunchables and whatnot (loved the pizza, hated the deli meats).

Have you seen any interesting videos, shows or movies lately? I’d be happy to watch anything you’d like to share & we can talk about it! Recently I watched Late Night with the Devil, which had a cool concept I think could make for a good short story or SCP entry, though I didn’t find the movie very creepy. Do you think horror movies have to be scary to be good? I’m undecided I think. I also went on a brief kick of youtube horror short films, and I found a few I enjoyed if you are interested!

Do you have any interesting family heirlooms or family history? My greatest love is collecting old photos and researching the people in them and imagining their lives, so I’m generally always up for hearing interesting bits of family lore, and of course happy to share a few as well if you like :)

I feel very out of the loop lately with respect to trends. I just caught onto that “would you rather be stuck in the woods…” thing but actually feel more out of the loop because it feels underspecified. What do they mean stuck? Can I just leave? Are they hostile? Are they attacking me? Oh dear, maybe you are more informed than me…

Anyway I hope you’re having a nice weekend. I have much more I could say but the reddit app keyboard begins to lag horribly for me when posts get this long, so I’ll just have so save it for our further messages. I look forward to hearing from you!!

Greetings and Salutations!

Hello and Good tidings. I am a man of mid thirties living in the fair lands of Kansas. I am looking to exchange correspondence with someone out of sheer intrigue. Anyone is welcome to write but I prefer written conversation with other fellows about my age. I take particular interest in decorative letters such as textured stationary, wax seals, fancy stamps etc. The more eccentric the better.

For anyone willing to write, just message and I shall provide an address. Likewise should you desire a letter, I will attempt to provide one if I am given a place to send one.

Merry writing, may your letters find their mark and a good day to each of you!

Created a Reddit Account to See if Anyone Wanted to Send My Lonely Dad Birthday Cards, Found This Sub and Thought Making New Friends Would Be Cool Too!

So like I said in the title, I created a Reddit account because my dad has been alone for seven years now after getting out of a mentally abusive marriage. His ex-wife is now engaged and it's getting to him, and his birthday is May 12th, Mother's Day of course. So I was going to make a post and see if anyone wanted to send him birthday cards or anything like that.

Then this subreddit popped up on my feed and I thought making new friends seemed pretty cool! I'm not sure what the Rediquette is on an intro post or what to ask of people but I'd like to see what you look like and your favorite captured memories. My grandma is ALWAYS taking pictures and says "photos are the memories for when you may not remember them anymore." So I've always loved seeing people smiling, feeling confident, sexy, happy, and just enjoying life. It seems like these past 5 or so years have just kind of sucked for everyone. So I'd love to see you at your happiest, most conifdent, sexiest, whatever you want to share, to break up the negative vibes and read about "you" and the stories you have to share.

You know what...I'm going to make this interesting. I'm going to make a "Myspace Quiz" and answer the questions instead of just writing the typical "I like...here are my favorites...." etc. So here we go!

You wake up one morning and find out you can understand every language spoken by animals. What's the first conversation you have? I would carry on the day as usual. I'd start by waking up, feeding my cats and seeing what they have to say first, then drop the bombshell on them letting them know I can understand them and see their faces.

If you were a flavor of ice cream, what would you be and why? Mint Chocolate Chip. You either love me or hate me, but you can't deny that I am cool, fresh, and take the bad taste out of your mouth (and life).

You see a random animal outside on your doorstep. How do you handle the situation? I step outside and hang out with the animal and then run inside and find something to put food and water in. Knowing there is at least one animal coming to my doorstep, now there will forever be food and water outside to make sure no one goes hungry, or that I don't love them.

You've been granted the ability to time travel but only for 24 hours. Where and when would you go, and what would you do? This one's deep. I'd go back and invest in stocks earlier, work odd jobs, etc. so that when I was of age, I could do a kinship adoption of my siblings. We all deserved a better life and as much as the burden weighs on me and has weighed on me since I was like 13, I have been the only one capable of creating a better life for them.

You're at a party and accidentally spill your drink on the host's pet llama. How do you smooth things over? Well obviously the only choice is for me and the llama to become best friends and drink the night away together, creating mayhem, mischief, and of course taking lots of photos together.

You discover a hidden treasure map in your backyard. What's your plan to find the treasure? Probably look at the map. Try to figure out what's going on and where the treasure could be. Then head onto ChatGPT and type out my thoughts and ideas, and see where things go from there.

Your best friend turns out to be an alien from another planet. How do you react? I'd be really chill about it. People have things they don't wanna talk about for various reasons. If I found out, I would check in with them and make sure they're okay with me knowing about it, and then sit down and just talk with them. See if they want to tell me more or not.

You're stranded on a deserted island with only a talking coconut for company. What do you name the coconut and how do you pass the time? If it's a talking coconut, I am sure it can decide its own name and identity. I'd ask them about themselves, how long they'd been there, ask how they pass the time, what their thoughts, feelings, etc. were and if they preferred to be alone or to hang out on the island together.

If you could have any mythical creature as a pet, what would it be and why? A Unicorn. They like to help and heal and having a horse that's magical sounds pretty cool. Selkies could be cool too, but all that shedding of their skin could be messy.

You accidentally turn invisible for a day. How do you make the most of it without getting into trouble? Hmmm am I invisible but still have my normal bodily functions? Like my muscles give out, my legs and back hurt, etc.? If not, then I would just go for a walk around the city. Hang out, people watch, and enjoy the weather.

You're given the chance to spend a day inside your favorite book/movie/video game. Which one do you choose and what adventures do you embark on? I'd go into Final Fantasy 8 and walk around, hang out with people, and play a ton of Triple Triad. I'd also convince Odin to be cool with me and let Carbuncle ride on his horse.

If you were to create your own holiday, what would it celebrate and how would people celebrate it? If I were to create my own holiday, it would celebrate creativity and imagination. Let's call it "Inspiration Day. "Inspiration Day would be a day dedicated to unleashing creativity, embracing imagination, and celebrating the beauty of innovative thinking. It would be a paid National holiday, so no one would have to work that day and they'd still get paid 1.5x.

At the end of Inspiration Day, individuals could take a moment to reflect on what inspires them and express gratitude for the creativity that enriches their lives. This could be done through journaling, meditation, or simply sharing heartfelt conversations with loved ones. People could create art, write, build, whatever inspires them.

People could participate in random acts of creativity, such as leaving inspiring messages in public spaces, creating sidewalk chalk art, or surprising strangers with handmade gifts. These acts would spread joy and inspiration throughout the community.

An illustrator and night owl, I enjoy everything crafty and art related. Some of my hobbies are cooking, reading (currently half-way through Lapvona, from Ottessa Moshfegh, tho I’m more into classics), listening to insane amounts of music/making playlists, and playing video games (Bloodborne, Skyrim, Silent Hill, Resident Evil and Tomb Raider II have to be among my most dear to my heart). I really hope to meet some new friends over here and exchange some letters, oddities, gadgets and gizmos, whozits and whatzits galore! ✨

25m from Midwest US looking for penpals

Hello friends! I’m a 25m, TV aficionado, sports fan, Xbox gamer, and food enthusiast from Minnesota. I’m looking to put down my phone and pick up my pen for more meaningful and thoughtful communication, the kind that comes from writing and receiving letters. It’s so much better than text messages imo.

If you're someone who also loves movies, binges TV shows, or conversations about sports, we’ll have plenty to talk about. Whether you’re into Xbox or swapping recipes - I'm looking for a penpal interested in exploring any and all topics through the slow, intimate process of letter writing.

I aim to move away from the constant brainrot of my phone and engage in a friendship that grows through shared stories and experiences, detailed in hand-written letters.

Open to any and everyone from everywhere :) Cheers!

37/F/US looking for first time penpal

Hello. I'm new to the penpal world and looking for my first penpal. I'm 37/F, married, stay-at-home wife, cat mom, 420 friendly, quilter/sewist, crime/horror junkie. Similar interests a plus but def not required. I have plenty of time on my hands and keep a very very small circle of friends so I thought a penpal would be a nice way to fill the time. Snail mail only, I absolutely suck at responding to emails so that wouldn't work for me, plus I really enjoy writing, just need someone to write to. I would be happy to send the first letter if needed or you are welcome to start it off. DM me if interested! Thanks :)

Sharing random observations from a city coffee shop

M 30’s living in a large city in England, one of my favorite hobbies with a f friend is to chat in cafes and observe people, whether it is couples or singles. We have been going to the same cafe since 2018 and after going there every week for 5-6 years, I feel that we have so witnessed so many first dates of regular customers, how their friendships/relationships are going.. etc…

I will not be sharing personal details about anyone, but simply that customer A has been on his 4th date with a different lady and my friend and I try to guess which date will be a success by observing them.

If you are interested in our random observations, feel free to dm.

Specifically looking for those who also love to share random observations.

19F looking for pen pals

Hii, I'm a law student from Portugal. I'm really into learning, especially about history and geography, although lately I have been reading a lot on philosophy as well. Talking about what's going on in the world and politics is something I also enjoy, and I like being around people who have different perspectives and challenge my ideas. Exploring is one of my favorite things, whether it's in the city or out in nature. I'm all about stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new things (like right now, heh). And I'm a big fan of rock music too

Above all, I'm looking to have interesting conversations regardless of topic

Ideally, I'd like someone around my age (17-26) who is also in college because I think it would be fun to compare our experiences and it would be nice if they're from Europe as well but if you're interested, feel free to reach out either way :)

25/M/UK - Looking for a similarly aged friend :)

Hey. I'm a 25-year-old dude from the UK. I have a few penpals already, but thought I'd see if I can gain one or two more. You never know what kinds of potential friends are out there, you know?

It would be great if you're in my timezone, as most of my penpals are from the US (but I don't mind if you are too). I'd prefer if you're close to my age though.

I enjoy light-hearted television shows, like The Flash and Community. I watch football (Premier League) and pro wrestling. Sometimes, I play games on Switch and PC. Also, I listen to bands such as Imagine Dragons and Walk the Moon.

It's cool if your lifestyle is different to mine. Maybe you're outdoorsy, or go to the gym frequently! I'm trying to improve myself, so perhaps I'll pick up a thing or two from you.

If you're interested, feel free to send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself :)

I’m F (26) looking for a platonic UK-based snail mail pen pal (postage is expensive!!). Receiving post always puts a smile on my face. I’m open to anything - hearing about your hobbies, your day, your deepest darkest secrets.

My hobbies include:

  • Museums and galleries
  • Theatre
  • Fretting about Leeds United
  • Environmentalism
  • Reading

Not too bothered about sharing interests - I could listen to people talk about their passions all day even if I know nothing about them!

Let me know if you’re interested.

25F - looking for longterm friends!

Hey everyone! I'm a 25-year-old woman soaking up life in this bustling corner of the world. I'm eager to meet some new pals right here on Reddit. Currently enjoying watching korean dramas after bingeing succession and severance!

I’m looking for long term friendships. Or potential long term friends who can chat often. I’m not looking for someone to text only for once.

I enjoy cooking, reading (a lot), fragrances and these days thrifting! I'll admit, I'm not exactly an art connoisseur, but I still enjoy checking out galleries, even if I don't always get the deeper meanings.

Not a big music or gaming buff, don’t care for too much of entertainments either but I love chatting about what's happening in the world and everything else under the sun.

I'm hoping to connect with folks who are just as curious about life and love to chat about all sorts of things.

ND Canadian Looking for Platonic Letter Writer Friends

I'm 44, married, and looking for letter writing pen pals. I'm happy with anywhere in the world. I am neurodiverse (AuDHD), an animal lover, gamer, and hobby artist. I have a wide range of interests, which can be discussed through letters.

I'm looking for people who don't mind rambling letters, and who don't mind if I forget to reply (a gentle reminder via message is absolutely welcome).

I love paper, making my own stationery, I collect and share stickers (if you like, I won't send anything.you don't want), pocket letters, ATCs, etc.

Let me know if you are interested!

Please note I am not going to reply to anyone asking for money, or gifts, etc. Not even remotely interested in romantic or sexual conversations. I just want to write about my life, ask about yours, and learn about different corners of the world. Also, no religious conversions, I'm not interested.

29F looking for international sapphic penpals.

Hello all, I'm Achi, 29F from Kenya. I am in search of platonic connections with other sapphic women.

I prefer connections outside of my country because to be honest, this place is a downer for all things queer in general, it would be a nice to form friendships with sapphic women leading their best or even ordinary sapphic lives freely.

I want to learn about the things you do for fun, the places you go, all the interesting people you meet along the way. I guess this may come off as though I am trying to live vicariously through you, although I can't deny that it may happen, I am just mainly looking for a friend. I'm surrounded by heterosexual friends and stories and it'd just be nice, for once, to receive ordinary/affirming/problematic/positive, whatever flavour of WLW stories, for a change.

About me:

  1. I'm a lesbian.
  2. I'm mostly a homebody, I'd like to think a slightly unwilling homebody.
  3. I developed social anxiety in 2020 so I don't have too many sociable interests apart from wanting to talk to and meet (online) new people.
  4. I enjoy watching football (soccer) and play Fantasy Premier League but I've been awful this season.
  5. I will always have time for natural disaster movies, 2012 is an all-time favourite of mine.
  6. I enjoy world politics generally, although things are pretty depressing right now. There's not much variance in the politics of my home country so I mostly follow US and UK politics mainly, I don't have very deep knowledge on either but I understand the basics and open to learning more if you're a person who knows more and is interested in sharing that sort of stuff.
  7. Politically, I'm on the left (socially and economically) and would prefer someone similar since I'm pretty invested.
  8. Very big supporter of black women's rights/individuality/agency, outside of being one myself, if you're not sensitive to that, we probably wouldn't make very good friends.

About you:

  1. Be 29 or older - I have been described as an old soul for as long as I can remember and it's persisted throughout my life so I'm not very good at relating to a young/younger crowd.
  2. Be a Sapphic woman living a sapphic existence (although shoutout to all the bi and pan women with male partners, keep doing you🫶🏿).
  3. Be an okay person - I felt the need to add something about character but I understand that humans are complex so there's no need for me to spout any puritanical BS about being a good person, just be a decent human being overall - flaws taken into account.

If what I've said interests you, please DM me.

Thanks for reading.
