26 M, I feel alone. I need a female friend.

To be honest, I feel empty emotionally. Some emotions can not be shared with guys. I do have friends but all are male friends. And getting emotional about something is not an option. Not everything can not be explained here. Also to mention, I am an Indian. If anyone has any problem with my nationality, I am sorry for that and I don't mean to hurt anyone.

32m - I'll tell a bit about me, then you decide if we should journey together.

Since everyone seem to be "the main-character" now a days, I decided that it's okay to be a secondary one.. secondaries are actually my favorites a lot of the time. So no pressure.

I'm 32, from Scandinavia (GMT+1), I love gaming, anime and working out. Other than that I have a strong interest in Japanese culture, also since I feel like I should have been born there, you know... well, last year I found out that I'm a neuro-divergent (I have Aspergers) and boy, did a lot of pieces just fall into places there :D
It's hard to explain how it affects someone and it's called a spectrum for a reason, it's a gift and a curse, but that can be a subject for another day.

Anyway, I'm really just looking for 1 or 2 (max) friends who could hopefully become lifelong friends. I will say that being a gamer is the only mandatory criteria I'd put in, as that is where we'll have our bonding and fun, along with proper conversations.

I have two sides when it comes to gaming, so anyone can really be considered.. there is the casual side where I just love single-player & CO-OP games, chilling and having fun etc. etc. Then I also have the other side, where I'm quite competitive and also quite good at any game really, but don't let that scare you.

I'm open to play and talk about anything.

If you made it through this book & wanna see what we can build together, just send me your discord and some basic info about yourself (age, timezone and what not).

Merry christmas everyone.

30M. Feeling a bit adrift lately—care to brighten your day with a chat if you are in the same boat ? Let’s turn loneliness into something lovely.

Been feeling a bit lonely for a while now, and today is no different. There's no one around to talk to, so I thought I'd see if anyone else feels the same. If you're on the same page, we can have a casual conversation—no personal details. Let’s make this weekend a little less lonely.

Think of it like two people meeting at a crossroads, sharing a moment, and then going their separate ways. It doesn’t have to be profound or deep (unless it naturally goes there). It could just be small talk, book recommendations, movie rants, or even weird shower thoughts.

I don’t know if this will resonate with anyone, but if it does, drop a comment. Let’s keep it light and respectful, and once today ends, we’ll go back to our lives, maybe feeling a little less alone in the process.

If no one replies, that’s okay too. Putting this out here already feels like something — like opening a window in a stuffy room. Either way, thanks for reading, and I hope your Sunday is treating you kindly, whether you're here or just passing through.

Take care, whoever you are.

— Just someone looking for a bit of connection today.

23F, Need a Friend to Chat With, I'm So Bored Right Now

So here I am, just sitting in my quiet apartment with nothing to do. It’s one of those days where everything feels a little off, and I’m just scrolling through my phone like a zombie. No lash appointments, no plans, just me and my thoughts. I keep checking my messages, hoping someone will reach out, but nope. It's like I'm invisible today.

Honestly, I could really use a friend right now. Someone to talk to, distract me, make me laugh. I’m so over this loneliness and boredom. If you're just looking for someone to chat with, I'm all ears. Honestly, just need a little human interaction, someone to remind me that I’m not the only one feeling stuck today.

So yeah, if you're down to chat, hmu. Let's turn this boring day around

Hey, I’m 29, recently married(we have 2 boys, 3&6). Ever since I announced my engagement my “best friend” has been SO distant, always ditching me, didn’t even show up to try wedding dresses on with me. I just need someone who wants a genuine friendship, bc I’m feeling so alone lately!

30M Looking to make meaningful connections.

Hey all! I’m looking to meet some new people and hopefully make some meaningful friendships.

I miss making those deep connections with people that blossomed into meaningful friendships. As I’ve become older those type of friends seem harder to find. If you feel the same way I’d love to hear from you! Hopefully we can make those kind of connections here.

Here are some of my interests:

I’m a long time lover of pop punk, metal, metal-core and other emo/scene kid music. Some of my favorite bands are Bear-tooth, A Day to Remember, Green Day, Park Way Drive, four year strong, Sum 41, The Color Moral and too many others lol we all know it’s not phase 😉 🖤

Also a pretty big nerd. Lover of Star Wars, marvel, DC, LOTR, history and video games. I mainly play PC but also have a Switch. I’m always open to playing new games especially with people so if you are looking for a gaming buddy I can be your guy!

I play guitar, work out, enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing camping and kayaking.

If any of this sounded interesting to you send me a DM! Thanks in advance for reading.

24M from Germany looking for cool people to chat with! 👀

Hi everyone! Right now I'm sitting in the library oof my uni because one lesson got cancelled, I didn't check my email and now I got some time. And I thought why not use that time to search for cool people on reddit and chat with them, if found!

Some info on myself, I'm 24 and I'm from the northern part of Germany, living near Hamburg. I'm currently studying English and French, with a focus on linguistics, though without aiming for a teaching degree (so I'm bound to become a slightly better educated taxi driver in my future :^)). I recently finished my bachelor's thesis and I'm currently visiting classes for a consecutive master's degree, although I am not really planning to go through with it. I'm currently figuring out other options for me, writing applications and stuff, so I'm kinda lost in that regard to be honest, but it is what it is.😸

As far as my hobbies are concerned, they're probably fairly basic. I like playing video games on pc, switch and xbox, play table-tennis and darts and I'm also regularly streaming on twitch and occasionally create YouTube videos! Also, I'm a huge the walking dead and ace attorney nerd, which is a combination I haven't really encountered with anyone else till now. I can basically tell you everything from these two franchises, lol. I'm also into the mcu and star wars as well as probably some other shows, movies and games I'm forgetting right now. I also like the danganronpa series...which somehow feels like a guilty pleasure lol.

I think that would be pretty much it for myself for now, but you can ask me more questions of course! Also, if we click, I'd also be up to playing video games and/or talking on discord together later :). And also, if you're cool and we stay in touch, I will definitely send you lots of memes and reels! Lastly, I would also love to chat with other Germans, which doesn't mean it's a requirement, you can be from wherever, honestly ^^. The only requirement I do have is that you are somewhat around my age, as I think it'd be weird to chat with someone significantly younger/older than me, I hope that's understandable. That would be it, thanks for reading!

42/m/sc - looking for local friends

I know it’s cliche for people to say, but I can carry my part of a conversation and won’t 1 word you to death like most people here will. I’ll also be engaged/invested in you once we get past that awkward getting to know each other stage. I have no filter, cuss, like dark humor, and don’t take offense to anything. I’m 42 not 24 lol. Not looking to talk with overly sensitive people please.

Me: Looking for someone that I look forward to texting every day. (Text/imessage/Discord only. Ideally text) A best friend hopefully where we bs/text all day or as much as we can, so life isn’t boring and lonely all the damn time. 😂

Ok, my dealbreakers - - - -If you can’t hold a convo, or have no interest in talking regularly, or have no interest in eventually watching movies/tv together, please do not reply. I don’t have much patience in the beginning, crucial stage pf getting to know someone as my taste has been soured by so many 1 word reply people, ghosters, or the exact opposite of what I said I was looking for. I am just over wasting time and looking for people interested in the kind of connection I am.

I’d rather have 0 replies than 100 people that didn’t read this post and aren’t compatible. Only sincere people reply please.

28F looking for friends

Hey everyone! 28F in the US looking for friends. I like a lot of different kinds of music, reading, movies, crafting, trying new foods and restaurants. Not into magna, anime, or video games. We can talk about anything- just be around the same age and introduce yourself if you reach out. If you don’t introduce yourself or if you just say “hey”, I will not reply.

15F/UTC+8/INFP/ in desperate need of socializing

I've moved schools three times in just a year and then switched to homeschooling. I can't start conversations, and I've probably only spoken to my relatives and a few strangers I'll never meet again this year. I have no hobbies and barely go outside but I'd like to try and learn as many things as I can. Looking for friends!!

17F hey looking to make friends

Mostly I like the outdoors love being in the ocean on the water in a kayak 🛶 or in the oecan with a set of SCUBA gear LOVE being under the water. Love kelp forest Riding my my mountain bike or hiking on a trail. Mostly like doing outdoor stuff probably why I love my jeep so much.

If you like doing those things it would be so awesome to talk about what to go see or do. Share some fun spots to go

I LOVE THE OUTDOORS!!!!!!!!

So now thinking of kind of changing. Trying to learn how to make friends and socialize, also trying to become more like girly. I'm mostly not super girly but I know I need to change. Now I love the outdoors I love going and having fun and doing stuff but I'm trying to get more like a girly girl. I don't mean it in a bad way it's just I was never that way even though my mom and my dad both tried to make me a girly girl but it just didn't happen.

I'm looking for others girls in San Diego or southern CA probably more San Diego. That will be my future home next year so that would be cool. I love CA.

36/M/Sweden/Online | Let's start off the week and month with a chat, shall we?!

How was your weekend? For me, watch an ice hockey game and went to a concert on Saturday, which is always a great time. Unfortunately, last one for the year, but got some lined up for next year already, so looking forward to that!

Feeling quite sleepy, trying to work on my Best Albums of 2024 list, but it's going so-so. Not that I really have to do it, but music is by far my passion and I'd like to be able to be done with it within a week or so. :)

But yeah, I'm a 36-year-old guy from Sweden, quite talkative and humorous, talking about random things, but mostly interests and hobbies, with a side of life related stuff, I suppose.

The kind of stuff I like, beyond music (which also includes collecting vinyl records), are stuff like video games, board games, ice hockey, motorsport, anime, YouTube, TV shows, movies, LEGO, animals, books, among other things.

Feel free to reach out in a PM or a chat request, if you'd like to chat! :) Preferably looking for something long term, but no harm done if you'd only be looking for something temporary. Either way, I'm up for chatting!

18F - pleeaasssseee let's be friends!!!

Hiiii, I'm finally making a post and hoping it reaches someone who probably, hopefully, pretty please wants to talk to me.

So my name is Iris, I'm trans (but not out or passing (or happy)), I'm from the UK, and I'm very sure I'm a little autistic. I think it's probably best I put the warning here, I'm a really silly (depressed) person and it'll inevitably show in our messages. I'm not cripplingly lonely in the sense I have no friends, I have a decent amount of friends and I like them and all, it's just that most of them are guys who I can't really talk about my problems with. I can also be a pretty sensitive person, so if I like you I'll probably REALLY like you (platonically), also if you if you need to go for a bit (like to do something) and not be able to reply, please tell me before hand cause I kinda panic when people stop responding in the middle of conversation and I blame myself for it. Warnings out of the way, I think I'm funny, I really like yapping about things I like, and I really like hearing people yap about things they like, and I want to hear about people's problems and be there for them.

As for things I like, I'm really obsessed with music, like too many bands to mention here but I love a lot of rock, post-rock, alt-rock, indie, shoegaze, some pop, and just a lot of stuff. Right now I'm enjoying a lot of Xiu Xiu, Geordie Greep, and Carissa's Wierd. I like anime a lot too, Evangelion, Monogatari, and Fruits Basket (though I've not finished it yet) are my favs. I watch some TV shows too, just finished Walking Dead recently which I really liked, I also love Supernatural and Twin Peaks a lot. I do like playing games, a lot of Minecraft, Terraria, Stardew Valley, Lethal Company, and a lot more. Right now my main hyper fixation is the game Mouthwashing, OMG it's sooooo good. Other than all that I like reading too mainly literary fiction, or manga, and I'm really into leftist politics. I'm also trying to learn guitar, and do some writing.

I hope I don't sound too crazy in this post. Also I know it's mean but I'm not really looking to talk to men here, since I have more then enough guy friends. As for age, probably somewhere around my own, or a little older. I am mostly looking for something long term. One last thing I do prefer talking over discord so, I'd be happy to switch over after chatting a bit on reddit. Also PLEASE write more than just "hey" or something, I want to know a bit about you.
