[15M] let's be friends!!

A15-year-old boy who may not be the most comfortable when it comes to conversations, but he is eager to make new friends. I have a passionate love for football, particularly my favorite team, Real Madrid.I spent my whole life watching and playing football . Beyond my love for football, I also find solace in watching TV shows, with "The Sopranos" holding a special place in my heart. While i may not always know how to start a conversation, give me a chance and you'll discover a loyal friend who is always up for a good discussion about anything.

35M looking to chat with new people

Hello,

Here's my poor attempt to sell myself like a bad infomercial. My social circle is pretty much limited to people I work with or short conversations with customers. I live in the US on the East Coast but grew up on the West Coast. I have two high-energy dogs, an Australian shepherd mix and huskie mix. I have a 2 year old son. I do enjoy cooking and making new dishes, but I am by far the worst baker. My favorite TV show is the office, please don't say parks and rec is better. I've had many random jobs in the past, with even random stories to go along with. I'm a bit of a nerd, I have a comic collection and random Star Wars collectibles, but I'm not ashamed. I have a few tattoos that have no meaning at all, and I plan on getting more soon. My music taste is stuck in the early 2000s rock, punk, and screamo. I'm just trying to make a friend outside of work.

25M - Looking to just chat about shared interests or rant about life and work

Hi everyone! I'm working in tech as a Data Scientist, I just wanted to chat and connect with others sharing common interests/hobbies.

I'm primarily interested in all things related to tech, I game a lot as well (I love Sekiro and Lies of P, along with other FPS games like Apex Legends and Destiny2 - I did download FFXIV too) and also watch anime. Aside from that, I dream on a daily basis too and would love to chat about our dreams if you're a frequent dreamer too!

Office commute usually drains me of all my energy so I don't have enough social battery to socialize IRL and I don't want to involve my IRL work connections with my personal life so I'm hoping to meet people over here instead and get over a bit of loneliness.

If these connect with you, shoot a chat/dm!

I’m trying to go on a weight loss journey and would like to see out a buddy. Someone I can share progress with and keep up with my accountability.

Being unattractive sucks.plus I need some friendship advice

First things first I feel like I have always and will always be unattractive friend in the group.my girl friends and family tells me otherwise but I think they are just being nice to me because I never get approached or asked out.meanwhile both of my friends had boyfriends and people who crush on them.I’m closer to one of them and me and her are really close but lately she has been acting weird.I don’t know if I’m just imagining it but I think she is kinda ignoring me.tbh this kind of thing has happened before too.she kinda ghosted me but after few days goes back to normal and then I feel guilty for thinking badly about her and seeing how everyone likes her makes me hate myself even more for thinking like that about her and I feel like I don’t deserve her.but every time she does this kind of things I’m always first one trying to speak to her and have fun conversations to bring our relationship the way it was.this past few days when her mother didn’t let her go somewhere I tried to cheer her up it was like she wanted me to stop texting her.this past two days too.she was talking to others cheerfully while kinda ignoring me.we are always sitting together in class and suddenly she started to sit somewhere else on some of the lessons.I know i might be overthinking but I can’t help it.even right now while I’m writing this she is joking around with others in group chat .a while ago i thought one boy in class liked me or wanted to be my friend because he looked at me often and today when she told me that he texted her because he wanted to be her friend and was interested in her made me get hit with weird feelings.even in class people get interested in her first and then they start to talk to me.it feels like without her I would be completely friendless and I’m grateful to her for making me socialize more but I can’t help but be jealous of how perfect she can be and when she and others are not even acknowledging me I feel completely worthless.I don’t wanna be me anymore and I would do anything to be completely someone else.

Friendship break up

I have a best friend male friend, we became good friends during lockdown. We meet with others and never have together alone. Recently I asked if we could go for coffee, he said yes but twice now cancelled close to the date. We argued, I said it was always a battle to see him etc and in the moment said maybe I should step back (we were talking most days recently) and he said if that's how I feel then maybe I should.... I was expecting him to tell me to shut up and we laugh it off. We now haven't spoken for two days. Should I get in contact or wait?

Do you lose friends?

I recently invited an old friend who was also a very good colleague to my son's naming ceremony. We were not in touch but I reached out and invited him to the ceremony. Unfortunately, he did not make it to the event.

Do you lose certain friendships along the way? Do people just lose touch. These are folks who were very important in your life at one point in time.

Did I do something wrong or are certain relationships meant to be that way?

39/M Looking to meet one or more new friends to get to know!

Hey all! I’m 39, married and have a 6 month old son and a 9 year old daughter. I’m into basic nerdy things. Gaming, star wars, super heroes, DnD, etc.

I watch a ton of Critical Role stuff especially Campaign 3! Currently on episode 74, so if you watch too, let me know!

Into movies and tv, some sports, pro wrestling. Collecting action figures and retro games is one of hobbies as well.

I prefer you be around my age and have kids as well just so we have that stuff in common off the bat. I love to talk about my kids so if you do as well, thats a huge plus! I’m socially awkward most times but easy to get along with.

If there’s anything else you’d like to know don’t hesitate to DM me!

34M If you like movies/TV series and/or Japanese culture, then you're my person!

Hi! I'm Jakub from Prague, Czech republic.. My timezone is GMT+2. When I'm not at work (I work in logistics), I mostly like to read history books, watch stuff on VOD platforms (ask me what I have but the list is pretty long) or watch playthroughs of silly/horror/rpg games in Japanese. Japan has been the passion of my life for the last 20 years or so, so I'm pretty much fluent as well. I bet you can already tell from what I've told you so far that I have quite a geeky, introverted personality. I really enjoy stories, both fiction and non-fiction, I'm a decent listener and aside from English, Japanese and my native tongue of Czech, I've studied French at school, Spanish by myself and I've also tried my hand at some dead languages, like latin, archaic Japanese, literary chinese and Hebrew. Instead of browsing tik tok or instagram, I usually lose myself in listening to, comparing and overanalyzing different versions or covers of the same song by several interprets. I'm probably too quirky for anyone to like exactly the same stuff I do, but if you find any of this even mildly interesting, try reaching out and I promise not to bore you to death. :-]

I'm tired of giving other people my time.

So for a very long time I only had one friend who lived far away. I've known her half my life and there has never been any pressure to see one another. Sometimes it would be a year, sometimes we'd see each other 6 times a year. It always just depended on where we were living and what we were doing. But no matter what, and no matter how much time had passed, nothing changes. We talk weekly to bi weekly on WhatsApp and I think we are both very happy with the way our friendship is. When I had my daughter two years ago I decided to leave my job rather than send her to nursery. Suddenly I didn't have the social interaction I had through work and I was lonely. I actively tried to meet other mums and fast forward to now, I have more friends than I've ever had before. But I am so unhappy with how it feels. My two closest friends are both extremely needy. One of them has no kids and is single. She lives alone and remote works so I understand she's alone a LOT. But she leans on me for emotional support about this constantly and I feel bad that I cannot give her all the time she wants. The problem is that when we hang out, she wants to go out and do things and walk lots and be busy and I'm exhausted. I don't think she has any understanding at all of how exhausting parenting is, even though she thinks she does. I can't expect her to understand, but I'm tired of always having to explain why I don't feel up to doing walks/big outings on my only bit of downtime. I can tell she thinks it's a bit pathetic but the truth is I'm already working part time, doing everything at home and working out three times a week, I don't want or need more exercise, or more moving around when I don't have to. My other close friend has a 1 year old and is pregnant again right now and due later this year, she's not working and her partner is in the air force and away for long periods of time. She knew her partner would be going away frequently when she fell pregnant the second time by accident again, and despite the fact she couldn't cope with the first, she decided to have this one too. I spent countless hours round her house last year helping her get her baby to bed while her boyfriend was away, even though I had my own toddler at home. I was going out when my partner got home at 8pm and not getting back until gone midnight. It was exhausting, but I felt like we were finally through that stage and now she's going to need it all again. He's currently away and she's struggling and despite her family living close by, she needs me to go over and help with things much more than I can or want to. I had my child, I don't want anymore, and I didn't sign up to look after someone else's as much as I am doing. I am also constantly helping her do things in the house, decorating and moving furniture etc and I already do all of this in my own home as my partner works a lot more than me. I have several other friends who I see maybe once a month for a catch up which works great for both of us as we are busy, but these two particular friends want me to see them almost every week and this takes away time from my other friends who I see more rarely and also from myself.

I look after my son four days while my partner works 8-8, and I work 7am-8.30pm on two of his three days off, and I never get a moment to myself. And when I do, I have to spend it with my friends and usually this is involving helping them with something. My partner and I get ONE day a week where we are both home with our son and we usually have things we need to do alone so take it in turns. I just do not have time to give this time away to friends every week.

I love both of them dearly but I'm realising that it is ALWAYS about them, and no matter whether I tell them how I feel or not, the most support I get is maybe a few words and that's it. I never ask them for help with anything, I do everything alone, I did everything in my house alone when my daughter was small, I never asked a friend to come and help me when she spent hours screaming in the evenings. And my family live hours away so I didn't have the family support either. I muddled through it on my own and I'm glad that I'm past that stage. I resent having to help with kids that aren't mine as much as I do, and I resent having to spend my only free time without my son with friends when I just want some alone time or time with my partner. Both of them have been complaining to me about how they dislike being alone this week and have been upset, and I obviously try to be there for them but I feel like making the amount of time for them that they want is at detriment to me. I've been having a bad time with my mental health recently, I have told them both this, and it's like after a day they forget and continue to expect more than I can offer. I get to a point sometimes when I feel like just cutting everyone off because I cannot cope with all their shit as well as my own. Talking to them doesn't help, they aren't listening or they think they are exempt when I say "I just need people to let me be at the moment". I can't take it anymore. I feel suffocated. And the worst part is that my longtime friend I mentioned at the beginning, I've seen much less in the last year because of these other two and their demands on my time. When I have spoken to my partner about this he says I need to just say no, but when I do there are tears, or it just gets rescheduled for a couple days time, and I just fully want to be left alone for a good couple of weeks sometimes.

29M UK, love a good chat and a laugh, come and hang out?

What am I looking for? Well mostly for someone to speak to on a consistent basis who I gel well and get along with well.

As for myself I am a blunt and honest person so if you ask me something and want a straight answer I'm your guy for giving an honest assessment even if you don't like it. That being said I am kind and caring and will ask about your day and life and anything going on I can help with I will offer.

In terms of my hobbies or interests I am a massive animal lover, this can be confirmed by my cats at home my snake and the dog! All of whom live in perfect harmony and who I never want to turn into tea cosy's for meowing at 4am...

I am also a gamer, I play my pc mostly which is my main source of entertainment however I also have access to my switch and my ps4 in case the mood takes me! I am also a big board gamer these days which I must say i enjoy alot!

I am a gym goer and do enjoy a good strength session for sure.

Music is also something I love, very into my rock music and a lot of the old west coast rap music right now.

Tattoos! Several pieces of art on my body including a Bowser and a Pokémon tattoos, yes I display my nerdiness proudly!

I am also in the process of a complete change in my career which is really exciting for me !!

If you fancy a chat about anything above or anything in general come and say Hi!

My birthday is in a week and nobody is coming.

Last year, I (f/18 nearly 19) had a gang of friends at my birthday. I had a nice party and everything. It was era themed, and gave everyone a time frame to dress as (example: y2k or seventies) everyone loved it, and I had a good time in general.

But over the last year I've gotten really distance with everyone who went to my birthday. Not by any bad means, we've all just moved on. One friend is in uni and we've barely spoken. Another has her own best friend and while I'm sure she'd come, she and my bf wouldn't get along they hate each other.

The others were people I knew but wouldn't much call friends, like people I hung out with. I haven't seen them much since.

I just have my boyfriend, who will be working as it's a Saturday night and he works in a pub. I've suggested putting a few banners up and stuff, perhaps inviting his friends (they're okay, I guess) but I feel really intrusive and I feel like I'm all about me right now.

I don't know why I'm even making this post, um..

In need of some advice

So, I think I have found an old friend's social media, the thing is she moved away like 6 years ago and we haven't been in any form of contact since then. So I just wanted to know that, would it be a good idea to text her?
