As the title says, I need some friends. I'm a 26F with little to no friends at all.

A little bit about me, I'm a daily stoner, who can physically function properly (some people can't) so I'm just putting that out there 😅.

I absolutely love to read, game, go out for hikes, love taking pictures of nature, I like anime, currently watching DanDaDan.

I'm a horror freak, love anything horror movie/shows

I have a little zoo, as I have three dogs, one cat, three snakes, goldfish, isopods/millipedes

Hope to hear from yall and make friends 😊

Hello, my name is Alexander, I'm 19, I'm from South America. My hobbies are playing videogames, listening to music, working out, reading and watching series or movies. If you want to be friends, chat or have similar interests, message me or reply to this post so I can message you, I'd love to have new friends. Prefer to talk with people close to my age.

It’s pretty late for me but I’m still up and I can’t really sleep so I figured I’d see if anyone else is up and also can’t sleep late me or just bored and wanna talk lol. So if you are, just send me a DM

I’m bored right now and want to hear some new music. Message me some new songs or if you have Spotify premium I can start a jam and you can show me songs. Don’t message me if you’re a creep 🙏🏼

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to make some new online friends, only adults (18+), since I find it easier to connect with people around my age.

A bit about me: I'm a huge animal lover and have five cats. I think all animals are beautiful in their own way. I'd love to have a dog someday, but for now, cats fit my lifestyle better.

I enjoy staying active and play football almost every evening and also watch it. Cooking is another passion of mine, especially healthy recipes that help me stay on track with my fitness goals. Working out is like therapy for me; it helps me feel good and stay in shape. If you're into fitness, we can motivate each other! I'm also into skincare and love trying out new products.

I'm really into history and historical fiction, particularly ancient epic tales, medieval battles, paranormal stories, and heroic last stands. The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones are my favorites. I also enjoy gaming occasionally, especially RDR2. Even though I work full-time as a software engineer, I always try to make time for good conversations.

Don't hesitate to reach out!

I need a distraction, I'm feeling lonely and sad.

!! Please state age and location!! !!no NSFW!!I'm only seeking female friends please. Also seeking an older sister type person! I tend to get clingy once I like you and feel comfortable. I also want to move over to discord after we chat for a bit. I'm seeking longterm. Like months if not longer. If you tend to ghost please don't message me

Anyways I'm autistic, have adhd, pstd, anxiety and depression . I'm lesbian. (Acceptance is a must for both of those) I love pets and animals. I want to be come a vet tech. I like to crochet and build legos.

Anyways message me if you are willing to chat!

I’ve been stuck in my own thoughts most of the day and it’s making me realize how lonely it is not having friends to talk about this stuff with. I’m a pretty private person, but I feel like everyone else has friends they can turn to when they need a pick me up or want to discuss girl problems. I’ve got one real friend and a few friendly coworkers, but I would never talk to them about serious stuff, so I’m stuck replaying the same thoughts in my head with no outlet except Reddit, which isn’t great when you have a ton of thoughts you want to get out of your head. I don’t really know what I’m hoping for by posting this, but I feel like I need to tell someone just to slow down my mind.

Hi, everyone! Iļl try to write long story short. So basically my best friend (she lives in another country at the moment, so we dont see each other almost at all) knows that i'm living with narcissist mother and brother who is on her side most of times, for some months it was a nightmare when my mom was on sick leave.

I always turned to my best friend that ive known for almost 10 years at this point and told her about my dysfunctional family. She encouraged me to talk to her and tell everything. She was the only one who know about my family, later i opened up to my therapist.

at the beginning of October i told her that i'm ready to move away from family, that i have almost saved up money for that. i was SOO ready to start new life, my mom even said she's gonna give me the rest of the money to move.

well, unexpected things happened and i had to spend most of my saved money and in the end mother never gave me any. i was so shocked about this fact, i told my friend that i'm not able to move right away, that im safe, but ill explain details to her later when ill be ready to talk about it. sounds reasonable, right??

so she asked me two more times about why i didn't move, i told her again that ill tell her when i'm ready and my therapist said that its okay, because i had a big shock and i need time to gather my thoughts - I literally told her this.

so when my "friend" for the 4th time was extremely aggressive about that i didn't tell her straight away my reasons she basically said (english is not our first language), that "with who you think you are talking to, don't you dare talking to me like that, all of sudden your mother is okay for you and you think you can complain to me about her, sit sown and go back to reality, forget about it, no one will talk to me like that"

i showed my therapist messages, he was all the way on my side, because i was super calm and collected when i answered to her and this anger feels extreme towards me, we always had very good friendship with no arguing.

yeah she was a few weeks off of antidepressants at that point, but i don't think that's an excuse to talk to me, her only friend and best friend, like that.

it hurts a lot that she encouraged me to talk to her about my family, and she got the nerve to tell me that "i complained" to her and didn't consider my feelings at all.

she also replied to me like once a week for months, and i felt like i'm mentally losing her as a friend. she didn't even say happy bday to me, even tho we talked about how we marked our bdays this year on calendar to not forget. i did wish her happy bday a month prior. i'm sad that she didnt respect my boundaries even after i explained everything to her in extremely nice manner. i told her that im safe and mom went back to work so its a bit calmer and i can push thru another 2-3 months living with her, but she never replied to me since 11th November.

Should I just forget this friendship? Feels like it was meant to be doomed?

So as the title says I need friends, people to talk to. Im falling deep into my depression again and being social is very hard and scary for me, so I wanna compensate it somehow with online friends. So if ur around my age (15-22) DM ig? I mean it can be low maintenance friendship I just really need some contact with humans and not just with animals and plushie

i finished high school a few weeks ago and my friendship circle has been ignoring me ever since. i feel very lonely and i only talk to one online friend sometimes throughout the day. i'm hoping to make friends with any type of person that i can joke with and have a caring friendship with.

My last fishing friend we bonded over music and him showing me all these cool places to fish, turns out he I guess wanted more in the friendship but I was nervous, which made him mad we parted ways after that summer. Tried to reconnect w him again but he didn’t want anything to do w me.

Got a new boys number and I want to fish w him, which he never fished before so I’m not sure how to really teach him without coming across too strong… never had a brother so I’m not sure how to bond properly w him. I’m super excited haven’t chatted w him too much over text kinda waiting for summer but is it bad I’m not talking to him?

I guess it’s super cool he’s interested in fishing but tbh what do I do if he catches a fish or whatever…or never touched a worm. if he wants to chill I want to slowly introduce him to it and was thinking about taking him to a golf course nothing too crazy big bass I think he would love it…

I think this would be even more fun bc I’m teaching some1 instead of being taught.

Also I was thinking of maybe if we chill we can bike ride first or if he wants I can drive him, just think sometimes my car attracts ppl n people can’t handle it.

Seriously I just want someone around 20 and above we can talk. Doednt matter who you are.

Hello! I'm the US currently looking for longterm friendship :) I am a very shy person so I have a hard time talking to people and meeting new people, but I'm missing that connection of a best friend :( I want someone who is going to to talk to me about anything without needing me to press for it. I want a bestie/homie to reach out to me whenever they want! Bother me! Text me all about all of your favorite things and let's see if we vibe together, hehehe! Nothing romantic. I'm in a happy relationship. I really do just need a real friend. I want a chill person to be able to hang out with

A little bit about me:

I have eastern standard timezone. I have a girlfriend and we are with a guy. I like to smoke weed and listen to music. Rammstein, IC3PEAK, Missio, and Glass Animals are my favorite bands. I went to a Rammstein concert in Chicago 2022, and it was amazing. I just got back from a Till Lindemann concert in Chicago this September 😎 es war Wunderbar!!

I like arts/crafts. I do diamond paintings and paint by numbers all the time because they have such a unique kinda look that i love. Ive never been formaly trained in art and its just a hobby for me but its a lot of fun. I also love photography! I was the editor of the yearbook in highschool, and spent the whole summer after I graduated finishing it by myself because covid. These days I like to travel with my girlfriend and take my cameras along. We've driven a lot of the continental US and we've had a lot of crazy adventures. I wanna learn german and russian eventually because I'd love to go to Europe someday and I love the languages and cultures.

I want to work with animals as a career someday. I have lots of cats, lizards and a fish. I also used to work at an animal shelter and dog groomers so I have lots of animal photos and stories :) I am currently looking for colleges to go to school for either a veterinarian technician or a marine biologist!

Thank you for reading! If you read this far please tell me your favorite kind of animal or favorite song. My favorite song is currently Schweiss or Du hast kein Herz by Till Lindemann! I am such a fan of Rammstein and Till himself :)) My favorite animal has to be Sharks or Reptiles.

P.s. if you have really read this far please tell me what are your three favorite things in this world

Auf wiedersehen! До свидания. Good bye! Have a good day :) All I ask is that you say something other than just "Hi" and please don't be a creep. Otherwise please don't be afraid to reach out! I won't be responding to just "hi" anymore. Not sorry.

Hey , message if you just wanna pass time chatting cause watching a video or playing a game isn’t distracting enough , I’m m22 and just am feeling a little down since my friendship with my bestfriend is going downhill. Thank you

One friend I considered a ride-or-die left the country without a word, making me feel like a ghost.

Her sister, another close friend/best friend, also left the country with a 2 days notice. I traveled all the way from upcountry to see her but still didn't make time for me whole time she's meeting other friends.

After she landed I still got no text... I reached out to know she landed safely. To date she's never responded but keeps checking out my stories

Another friend suddenly unfollowed me on all social media, leaving me in the dark. I had been texting her and left on read.

A long-time friend has been awkwardly distancing herself, making me question if I've done something wrong.

It's hard to understand why these friendships have ended so abruptly, and it's left me feeling hurt and confused. I'm not sure how to move forward, but I'm hoping to find some closure and heal from these losses.

Mind you these are people I have been so supportive of, let them crash at my parents even in my absence, supported through therapy and other avenues. Now I am here won what I did wrong.!

How do I stop beating myself up thinking I am the problem.

It feels so lonely😒😒

Well hey there! I’m just a dude looking for an online friend. Someone to chat with throughout the day, and get to know, and hopefully become a long term thing, to be honest. I’m not usually the guy that would turn to Reddit to make a connection, but it seems like since 2020 the whole world has lost its mind. It’s near impossible to make a real connection in person anymore, without going to a club or whatnot. I’m not honestly just looking to make a connection with someone, to feel that rush again, the excitements of getting to know someone.

A little about me: I own a small business, and end up working a lot, that more, or less leads to me getting kind of lonely sometimes. (As lame as that sounds) I’m into a lot of stuff, but I spend most of my time outside. I love to ride dirt bikes, kayak, and go camping, I also tinker around with old cars and trucks when I can. I’m what most people consider a country person even though I don’t always agree with that, or look like it.

If you’ve made it this far, Thanks for reading, If you think we could get along, and be friends, don’t be afraid to come say hey, I’m easy to get along with, and say going in general. What’s the worst thing that could happen? I generally write back pretty quickly most of the time. There are pics on my profile if you’re wondering what I look like. 🤟🏻 ✌🏻Happy redditing!

hey yall my name's Wendigo (or wenny, whichever floats your boat) and I'm a 17 year-old furry looking for friends! lemme tell you a few facts about me:

• i love model kit building! feel free to ask for pictures :)
• i'm a furry and retired commissions worker! i accept 0 hate for furries >:(
• i like listening to music of different kinds and genres, so im always open to new suggestions

that's about it! if your interested in chatting, don't be shy to shoot a messagem just don't be above 18 and include something about yourself!

hope to see you guys soon :)

So previously I created a post about how my crush texted me through a fake account (we've never talked to each other irl before)

So I accepted his message request and replied to him. When I asked for his name he told me some other name and I am 100% sure that it's actually him. He texts me so much and told me how he tried reaching out to me since 2 yrs and that he gave his everything to know my name and that I'm his first uni crush. When I insisted him to meet me irl he declined it and said I'll get scared. He's still hiding under his fake identity and wouldn't admit it's him. Although I really like talking to him but it's bothering me that he's not ready to admit that it's him. Should I stop replying to his texts? What do I do?? I really want to be friends with him but not this way :((

I feel like every year my Spotify Wrapped is just a visual depiction of mental illness, cause apparently I listened to 19 hours of music in one day this year. If you're gonna ask me why or how, what are you, the cops?

I wanna hear what your stats are though! My overall listening time was 129,647 minutes listened, if you have more than me then clearly we must duel at dawn. What're your top songs and artists? Tell me the memories associated with your top picks, I love hearing them!

Also you can like talk to me about actual other stuff too, I'm pretty funky if I do say so myself. I also have a Switch if you wanna play something! Basically just looking for some chill vibes and hopefully a beautiful blossoming friendship between two cool cats. Just please be 20+, I feel old as is without fending off the youth in my DMs

Hope you're having a good day/night wherever you are!

My best friend is moving lol. I need people to talk to.

I’m about to turn 29 and have lost many close friendships in my 20s.

I’m starting to realise that people do come and go. That no matter how intensely close you are to a friend, a best friend even, you will eventually outgrow each other.

Having accepted this truth lately gave me peace of mind. I really only have myself… which obviously doesn’t mean that I no longer try to build relationships and community, but basically easing into the comfort of knowing that no matter who comes and goes, I still have my own back. Also, boundaries.

My best friend has a husband and a 12-year-old kid, but is flying miles away to try and work things out with a fling in February. She is still living like a normal family with her hubby and kid, under one roof.

Context: Her husband cheated on her before and that led to some mental trauma and a vengeful mindset about her putting herself first now. She has this whole perspective in life that she no longer cares what her hubby does because she is now living her life for herself. She had a boyfriend prior to this fling (which I supported and regretted) and several other hookups while she’s married (after her husband’s cheating).

She said that she is a complete person now and is only seeing where it goes with the fling. She also said that she is more worried about how the fling will react because “his feelings are sensitive” IF he finds out that she has a kid (and a husband).

She’s the closest friend I have. We even considered ourselves each other’s halves. We were so close. But I’ve been distancing myself for a while now. I just feel like our values don’t align anymore. I’m even convincing myself if they ever were. I’m grateful for the times we had but this is one of those things that I can no longer tolerate.

TLDR: her hubby doesn’t know she’s been seeing people and the new fling doesn’t know she has a family. Is she Hannah Montana?

Hello! A few things about me

• I love reading and audiobooks
• My music taste changes based on the hour and other random things
• I respond best when you talk to me like we’re already friends
• I often respond in my head and forget to actually send it, so I love talking to people who are the same way. If you can pick the conversation back up 18 hours later as if there was no gap, we were meant to be.
• I’m married and have a child
• I work in IT
• I had 5 wisdom teeth before they took them, but I think I’m still pretty smart

Hey everyone! I'm a 35-year-old introvert living in Florida, hoping to make some genuine connections. Life’s been a mix of quiet hobbies and unique adventures, and I’d love to find people who share my passions or are just up for a good conversation.

I’m big on fishing—there’s nothing like the thrill of tagging sharks for conservation or the calm of freshwater trips. Music is another huge part of my life. Bands like Motionless in White, Slipknot, and Disturbed are my go-to, though I lost most of my instruments in a flood. Still, my love for music hasn’t wavered, and I’d love to hear about what’s on your playlist.

When I’m not fishing or listening to music, you’ll probably find me stargazing or adding to my collection of radioactive relics (yes, safely). I’ve also been diving into a new hobbies such as knife making and leather craft.

On a personal note, I’m navigating mild schizophrenia. Mental health is something I’m always open to discussing.

If any of this sparks your interest, I’d love to hear from you. Whether we’re talking about fishing, swapping music recommendations, or just sharing life stories, I’m here for it. Shoot me a message! Age or gender doesnt matter.

Hey everyone! I’m a 28-year-old international student living in Perth. I moved here a few months ago for my master’s, while I’m loving the city, I’m still figuring out life here and hoping to meet some cool people along the way.

A bit about me: I’m into long walks (especially near the beach), getting lost in mystery and horror novels, and binge-watching good movies or shows. I have cats who I adore, and I’m a big animal lover. I also work in retail, and I genuinely enjoy working in customer service

If you’re up for a conversation, chatting about books and movies, or just venting, I’d love to hear from you!

Hey! Not gonna lie... I've been pretty lonely lately. I decided to get on here because I don't really have any friends in real life who i can talk to. I'm not rl good at going deep explaining who I am as a person, so I guess I'll just list some fun facts about me!

• I'm an aspiring musician (really obsessed with all things music)

• I love being surrounded by nature

• Halloween is my favorite holiday

• horror is my favorite movie genre

• I like researching and learning about paranormal/ spooky topics

• I like to read (guess what genre 😆)

• cat person

• Im passionate about cooking and consider myself a home chef

• I'm addicted to drinking tea everyday

• I'm chill af

I hope that we can get to know each other! :)

Feel free to send a DM

Hello guys! 🙂 (read everything before you decide to send me a message) Please send me a message ONLY If you're in the same situation and If your expectations are the same as mine.I want to find like minded people from Europe (Why Europe? Read my post to find out) I'm looking for something permanent (remember - you can feel lonely even If you're surrounded by others - If there's no emotional bond) I'm fed up of meeting people who never make time for me & only text me once or twice a week to ask me "what are you up to?" Out of boredom.I don't want to meet people asking others a million of questions like "what's your favorite movie?" Just to give them one word answer and ask them another question "and music? Your favorite song?" I'm looking for something "deeper" & different 😊

★

🤍

What kind of friend would I like to find? Someone to talk to on a daily basis - Someone who needs It & wants It just as much as me

🤍

What are my expectations? I would like to meet someone in a similar situation – why? Because I honestly feel like only a person with the same expectations and a similar outlook on life would get along with me & because I feel more comfortable talking to people like me..Friendless people who need a strong bond - people without friends and partners.. Don't get me wrong…Most people deserve to be happy and It's good to have friends but people who have friends or families in real life are usually more focused on them (which is completely understandable) & have less time for others + I simply don't want to be replaced by anyone..I kind of envy people who can call others , true friends given I don't have an emotional bond with any of my acquaintances. Please send me a message only If you're not In a relationship and don't have friends for the same reasons I've already mentioned before

★

🤍

Whenever I hear that others have friends I simply get sad because (believe it or not) If I had to choose between 20 people to talk to (acquaintances) and one special person - I'd choose that one special person without any hesitation .

★

🤍

I also want to talk to others every day because..I want to see someone’s effort & be someone's first choice - not another person to have random conversations with..some people ask me "Why do you want to talk to people from Europe?" Well..Because I would like to see someone I'd get along with - In the far future - face to face :) + I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to receive a message - waiting 6 hours to receive a message is more than enough

★

🤍

I'm by no means criticizing people who don't want to talk to others often / People who really are super busy & People who want to find someone to have unimportant conversations with - I'm aware that not everyone has the same expectations which is why everything you're reading now - is here for a reason :) All I'm suggesting is - I don't want anything temporary and I don't want to be the one always giving more than receiving.Listen people - I used to ignore being..ignored by others..always being just an option to talk to during tough times or moments of boredom.I was too young to realize that I was never important enough for most people that were a part of my life. I don't know who needs to hear this but..No one is too busy to make time for you! People make excuses to avoid others because they prioritize everything and (maybe) everyone..over them. It's true that most people are busy - but It takes only a few seconds to start a conversation (If you're into short messages) and a few minutes to type a long message . Don't let anyone lie to you.

★

🤍

Truth is that most people either don't like you enough to make time for you or just simply - feel no need to talk to others often but are they too busy? No..You don't need to send me a message just to ask me and tell me "Do you really want to talk every day? I like long messages but I can't promise to contact you often" If you really are unsure please don't send me a message.I don't need more acquaintances aka people to talk to - occasionally.

🤍

I'm not trying to sound rude but conversations once or twice a week wouldn't be enough for me and I don't need them... Let me tell you one thing – A true friend would never just give up on you for no reason :) It’s always possible to find someone to have a random conversation with – someone willing to send you one message once or twice a week..but..It’s almost impossible to find people willing to make more time for you.

★

🤍

I’m not asking a busy person to make time for me by changing some plans! Absolutely not! I’m here to find someone who wants to talk daily (throughout the day or maybe even night) of one’s own will.Someone looking for the same kind of connection.Strong friendships are based on mutual support. One of the best things you can do for a friend in need, is just to be there for them when they want to talk.I often see posts from people who always say how friendless they are because they don't feel loved or appreciated by their "friends" remember! A true friend - someone who truly likes you or someone who wants to get to know you - will always find time for you.

★

🤍

I'm not interested in small talk/short messages - I love long and meaningful conversations. It's so easy to find someone who loves abbreviations and questions like "How are you?" How was your day? Or what are you interested in? But so hard/almost impossible to find a person who knows how to keep a conversation going & show others some effort.Building and maintaining friendships takes time and effort.Never allow pursuits or possessions to become bigger priorities than your relations with other people.Close friendships are so important to us because they are so difficult to form + Having friends can help you feel as if you belong to something that brings purpose and connection to your life

🤍

• I do NOT respond to any „Hey,hmu” or „u want to talk?” type of messages (super short messages or messages full of abbreviations – I literally can’t stand abbreviations and acronyms in text messages) ALL messages full of abbreviations will immediately be ignored.I also don't like it when people ignore everything I say in private messages just to focus on a random question or? When they start talking only about themselves and don't ever ask me anything. I love conversations with people referring to everything I say...I want everything I say and do - to be reciprocated

🤍

• No NSFW profiles (checking mental health subreddits NOT included as I'm a huge empath and always try to understand others) - Please! I'm not looking for anyone to flirt with and I'm not looking for a partner either. I always check people's profiles (even comment history) - To avoid guys, trying to get inappropriate pictures from adult women or? flirt with them + I don't want to see you with no clothes on so If you're on Reddit only because you want others to see what's underneath your clothes - I'm not for you! I just simply don't want to see any s e x related activity on your profile If you want to talk to me.

🤍

• If both of us (you and I) are from the same country (I live in a non-English speaking country) - I want to communicate with you in our first language! No - Not because I don't understand English - because as you see - I do. Why then? English is simply overrated and people don't appreciate other languages as much as they should. So.. If we're from the same country and you want to talk only in English (which is quite common on reddit) - Talk to someone else. I just don't want to talk to a person from the same country as mine - in a foreign language as It's just something I don't understand even If all you want is to improve your language skills

🤍

• Please only adult people 18-36 (age range) It doesn't matter to me If you're younger or older than me (as long as you're not underage) So.. don't worry! I just want to have discussions with emotionally mature people :)

🤍

• I don’t respond to messages I don’t find interesting even If they're long - If after receiving and reading your message I don't feel comfortable or think "I wouldn't get along with him/her" I simply do not respond (what I’m suggesting is that I don’t always respond to someone’s first or second message because..sometimes you just know If you’d get along with someone or not- I’d never ignore anyone after days or weeks of daily conversations though) just because I don’t want to do anything forcefully & because I don’t want to lead anyone on. I read all messages but I definitely don't respond to all of them! I want to make it clear because I don't want to be accused of not responding and not reading people's messages! - Some people don't message me back as well and even If It's a bit disappointing I'm ok with that! - as long as there's no emotional bond - Not responding to someone's first or second message Is completely OK! If people think they wouldn't get along with a stranger - is there a reason to start a conversation? I don't think so. I can't stand being ignored after days or weeks of daily conversations and seeing people changing priorities over time.. but that's something different - something I don't want to go through ever again for real. If I'm really interested in someone's message it's impossible to hear from me "I'm too busy" because I know myself and If I had no time for others - I wouldn't be here. I don't want to pretend to be someone I'm not and always try to find some cheap excuses to avoid others. (unlike most people who don't want to talk to others)

🤍

• Don’t ask me “Can you tell me something about yourself?” If you really want to get to know me - you can ask me questions :) I'm an open book.

🤍

• It would be better If you guys were into emojis - like me - to describe your emotions In text messages. Two emojis - 🙂 and 🙁 are completely enough! I just don't like emotionless conversations.I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea"as it sounds dismissively. First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even in a text message. If you think guys can't cry because "crying Is a weakness" you're also not someone I want to know.

🤍

• I would rather talk to a homebody - not another person who always has something to do as people who are very busy don't even have time for daily conversations

🤍

• If you're another person interested only in "childish conversations" such as "HEYOOO! I'M BORED! Ya like Pizza or cheese? xDDDD 🤣I'm begging you! Don't send me a message.I'm not a child anymore and such messages don't make me smile or laugh.I'm looking for someone interested In serious discussions - not another person just seeking some entertainment out of boredom . Conversations with sarcastic undertones (even when It comes to some emojis such as 🤣😂) are not for me. Your typing style matters to me! Why? when It comes to online conversations with someone new - It's not always possible to know If someone Is laughing at you.. or with you. Jokes about cancer, disabilities or death are UNACCEPTABLE to me.

🤍

• Time response matters to me a lot! I would never ask anyone to be online all day long and I'm NOT asking any of you for any instant messaging as I'm someone who would rather wait an hour or two to receive a proper response instead of some short and pointless messages but I'm interested only in daily conversations and I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to get a message from you.I don't need unbelievably long messages either! Messages as long as the second paragraph of my post - are completely enough. If you like longer messages? you can send me a longer message, but If you want to send me one word or one sentence as a response to my post - don't expect a reaction from me. I don't want to come across as rude - I just don't want to waste your time

🤍

• I'm strongly AGAINST picking on people you don't even want to chat with - and making fun of them! I can't stand people who criticize others publicly or make fun of them! (only because they disagree with someone they don't even know) There's no place In my life for someone using Reddit, to hurt other people

🤍

• I'm not into foul language and I definitely don't want to talk to people who swear a lot...

🤍

• I want to meet assertive people who know what they want and always stand up for their friends

🤍

• I want to meet someone willing to call me In the future, someone spontaneously sending me pictures of animals or food, et cetera. I want more than just text conversations.. 🌞

Why can’t you see any of my hobbies listed down below? Because what really matters to me is..who you are (If you’re honest, talkative ,understanding, caring and trustworthy – for example) just simply – It matters to me what you’re like! not what you like.Don’t get me wrong – you can tell me what your hobbies are but from my point of view - people's hobbies are important - If you want to find a gaming buddy or If you want to meet someone to hang out with in real life and..go bowling for example.What most people seem to care about are other people's passions – I don’t. I get along with other people despite having completely different hobbies but I absolutely don’t get along with people way different than me (different expectations and outlook on life – way different sense of humor or personality traits – It’s just an example) It doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to me If you're a gamer or? Someone interested in photography! It doesn't make any difference - > as long as you're talkative and kind and If you also want to find someone willing to stay in your life..for good - But If you're into small talk and all you want is to...type and receive super short messages or If you're here only because you're bored and don't know what to do + If you're a very sarcastic person - I'm definitely not for you! I don't get along with overly sarcastic people turning everything into a joke. Friendships should be natural – not forced. I wouldn't get along with people who laugh at everything.. In my opinion most people are way too sarcastic.. It's quite sad... Sarcasm can also be another form of passive-aggressive behavior.

People who want to be to friends should feel comfortable and have something in common. No - not necessarily a similar taste in music or movies but something else..Most friendships don't fizzle out because of people not having the same hobbies but..because they just simply have different expectations when It comes to something important.I'm not here out of boredom and trust me - I'm not here to meet as many people as possible.I choose quality over quantity.I highly value myself and my time & Sometimes one person but a person who makes you feel comfortable and understood - is more than enough :) We ALL can choose what kind of people we’d like to talk to and maybe even become really good friends with and I? I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.We all have some expectations after all.I know that people don't have to talk as often as possible in order to become friends but I'm interested only in daily conversations. If you really need someone to talk to due to loneliness and If you have time to talk to me daily (throughout the day and maybe even night) I always make time for others.I'm literally always available.I could even stay up all night long only to talk to someone important to me. I’m ready to commit but only If there’s some chemistry between me and someone else.I don’t do anything forcefully.

If you want to talk to me tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friend would you like to meet :) Et cetera.Such messages are way more interesting to me than...someone's long list of hobbies. I know! It's unusual on reddit but I don't make friends based on hobbies..I want to meet someone with the same mindset as mine to finally feel understood and get close to someone new. You can share your problems with me - I absolutely don't mind "complaining" as I've been through a lot in my life.What do people usually tell you when you tell them that something's wrong? "Don't complain" or "Life's not over yet - one day you'll be happy" or "There are worse situations than yours" and..obviously "Find a therapist" Life's not a fairytale and sometimes things don't go as planned.Emotions shouldn't be bottled up.I'm sick of people always telling others "everything's gonna be ok" move on " & more..Trust me people - not everyone wants to hear "Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna be ok" Some people take it as reassurance - but others? They would rather hear something different 🙁Imagine being told that things will be okay, only for them to get worse..Do you guys know why telling someone "everything's gonna be ok" Is wrong? Because you can't see the future.

You can't guarantee others that one day they'll finally be happy + when It comes to social interactions - We're responsible only for ourselves - not others & as you guys know people let us down quite often (sometimes even when there's no reason) so instead of telling people how they should move on, forget everything and be happy or asking them to find a therapist - be there for them! Always be willing to listen to them If you really like them or want to get to know them & don't suggest everyone in a tough situation to find a therapist because even the best therapist won't ever replace a true friend + It's quite normal to be disappointed If people always do something to hurt you. Sharing your hardships with other people in a very similar situation or exactly the same one - is VERY helpful If the other person understands you & wants to start all over by just letting it all out! Feeling emotional support instead of always hearing some "positive quotes" or someone saying "Stop complaining let's talk about something else - Is very important! "Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. I appreciate sensitive people who always try to understand others. If after hearing a sad story all you want to say is "forget the past and move on" you're not for me. It's important to be a good listener and provide emotional support to others

Please - If you're a completely different person than the described type of person I'm looking for (If you love abbreviations,If you don't need a stable friendship, If you're sarcastic and quiet) or If you simply disagree with my post - don't force yourself to send me a message.I want my new potential friendship to be natural which is why I want you to contact me only If your needs are the same - I don't want you to pretend to be someone you're not - only to please me - Pretending to be someone you're not - is the worst.I want to finally be happy again & find someone "always" wanting to talk - sending me random pictures throughout the day - food pictures or pictures of some animals. What is the most important to me? I want to find people who value online friendships as much as they would value real life ones as there's another human being on the other side

No comments please.Only Private messages and chat requests

I know It's possible to meet people with exactly the same expectations as mine but It's just not easy because most people are Interested In temporary and entertaining conversations. People like me are just "different" I really want to finally find someone who loves emojis as much as I do.. someone who loves sweet, warm and serious discussions at the same time. Emojis really do - change conversations 😊

A little about me

Music is my absolute favourite. I listen to indie/alternative mainly but I love some rock and metal too. I do however listen to everything, please don’t be afraid to send me songs, we’ll be friends immediately if you do. Also, you have got to share your Spotify wrapped with me, it's my favourite time of year.

I have a soft spot for anime and manga. I’m all caught up on JJK, Chainsaw Man, and One Punch (both manga and anime). The last anime I finished was Frieren, I enjoyed that more than I thought I would. if you have any recommendations I’ll gladly take them too

Anything resorting to Space is an instant hit with me, talking about dying stars, what the future holds for space travel and the life of the galaxy is beyond interesting for me. Can rant about it for hours and just think it’s so rad.

Gaming has been with me for as long as I can remember. My main platforms are PC and Xbox, I have a Switch and PS4 Pro but they’re just there for the exclusives. If you’re looking for anything co-op, I’ll be your guy. Currently playing Death Stranding for the first time, Stalker 2 and the other multiple games I have unplayed on my Steam library. I’m also looking to get into WoW, so if you’re a fan and you don’t mind bringing a newbie along, I’m down to play.

I’ve also wanted to play Dungeons and Dragons for the longest time, so if you’re looking to teach a beginner. Here I am

I bought my first Magic the Gathering deck (Tyranid commander) a while ago, simply because I have an unhealthy love for anything Warhammer 40k.

I’m in the East of the UK, so it would be perfect if you were around that area. I am okay if you’re abroad, I live on the East Coast US time since I’m a huge night owl.

I would ideally like to make some good friends from this. I want to get to know you properly, be it IRL or online. I’d like to move to Discord or some other chatting platform quickly, as Reddit messages are the absolute worst.

Okay ty ty

I'm a middle-aged adult guy, and I'm extremely busy with work above all, and family needs second.

At the gym, I simply said hello to another guy around my age who was wearing a sweatshirt from the university that I graduated from. We had a literally 20-second conversation and have had literally two 20-second conversations since then.

He asked my name and I told him, and he connected with me on LinkedIn.

Then he messaged me through LinkedIn, saying that he wants to hear about my career. (There's no reason for him to want to; we're in completely different lines of work and there is no prospect of us doing business together.)

Then he messaged me through LinkedIn, wanting to grab coffee.

Then he messaged me again through LinkedIn, saying, "let's grab coffee at a time that works for your schedule; let me know when."

There is no business/career benefit from doing coffee with him.

We're simply around the same age, and based on our LinkedIn profiles, we have perhaps some commonalities outside of work (but so do lots of people).

I don't think he's gay; he has a wife and kids.

I don't see any reason to do coffee, other than simply because being friendly back to someone is generally a good idea.

Middle-aged men:

Would you be creeped out by someone like that? Or would you accept an invitation for coffee, which is purely for friendship purposes?
