21F searching for something new

Back on Reddit after a long break and looking to connect with some creative people to spark my motivation again. I thought it’d be cool to share ideas, chat about projects, and maybe even build a Pinterest board together to keep each other inspired.

If you’re up for sharing or just want to chat, I’d love to hear from you, or who knows, maybe we could even start a small online book club.

[20m] looking for longterm friends!

hi allll, as the title says!!

tbh I got a couple friends that live a few hours from me and that have jobs so I don’t really see them or talk to them.. so I feel really lonely a lot of the time especially after work, so it would be nice to just speak to some people on a regular basis:)

a little about me: I love love music so much (can’t live without it), im a tech enthusiast/nerd (I work and study in I.T), I like nature and exploring new places or cities or anything similar to that! I also play some video games like Apex Legends, Lethal Company, Tetris, Overwatch, and probably some more..

please feel free to message me directly or leave a comment with your username or something :D

40m Looking for online friends to have fun, laid-back conversations with! 😊

Hey I'm looking to connect with some chill people online for good conversations and maybe even some online friendship. I'm really into sci-fi, so if you have any favorite worlds, theories, or books you want to discuss, I'm totally there! I also love animals (I have an adorable Chihuahua who might make a cameo in our chats!) and enjoy hearing about other people's furry, scaly, or feathered friends.

When I'm not geeking out over sci-fi or hanging with my pup, I'm usually gaming or watching movies. I'm always up for talking about the latest releases or sharing recommendations. But honestly, I'm open to chatting about pretty much anything! Life, the universe, and everything in between – you name it.

If you're looking for someone who's easygoing and enjoys having fun, relaxed conversations, feel free to send me a DM. I'm always happy to meet new people and make some online friends! 😊

36M England/Europe - Looking for new friends!

Hello!

I'm here because I've had success with forming a meaningful Friendships from this subreddit before- and while it didn't work out in the long run, it's shown me that it is absolutely possible to find that spark here.

In an effort to not waste your time nor mine, I'm not here seeking a casual chat- I want to get to know someone close to my age beyond just a few exchanges. I'm here for a genuine connection

So, why message me? Good question! I'm rather shy, self-depreciating, and modest- so trying to talk myself up is honestly really difficult. Instead, here are some random things about me and if any of it interests you, strikes a chord, or makes you smile, then I probably can, too!


  • I live in the south of England but I have previously lived in Scotland, Austria, and Lithuania, which were all for work

  • I have a degree in Chemistry and a Master's in Drug design and biomedical science. I work as an analytical chemist which is more boring than it sounds

  • I am into photography and some photos can that I have taken can be found here. I also travel often, and I have recently been to Berlin, NYC, Prague, and Copenhagen

  • Empire is the best Star War.

  • Last Crusade is the best Indiana Jones.


So what now? Introduce yourself, share a photo to I can put a face to the words, tell me 5 random things about you, or 5 things on your bucket list, or the first 5 things you'd do if you won the lotto- or anything at all you'd like to share. Have animals? Show me pics!

Lastly, I know it's hard to take the time to write a thoughtful message on the chance that it may go unanswered. I'm not here for a lot of messages. I don't want to waste anyone's time, so if I don't reply then know that I'm rooting for you to find the person you're hoping for, too!

17M, socially awkward, trying to leave my comfort zone

I always wanted to have friends, but I was never able to make any because I'm so awkward. I don't know why but I find it so hard to talk to people (especially in person). I always find myself freezing up and saying things that I regret saying while I'm talking. I just want some advice on how I can form friendships when I'm like this because I'm genuinely lost and I don't know what to do.

27M Looking for Long Term Friends

So I’ve had some decent luck so far, but I’m always willing to meet new people :)

I see myself as good listener who can carry a conversation if need be, just looking for new friends from any and all backgrounds.

We can talk anywhere you’d like, I’m pretty much an open book! Huge Sports fan (Go Birds 🦅), accounting student, and in my free time I’m usually gaming, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Elden Ring, Borderlands, etc. I could go on and on about that really lmao. Don’t have the time, but I’d love to get to know about you and your interests!

Ready and willing to talk about anything really, as long as you’re not a creep I don’t mind.

Thank you for your time!

24/m/UK shorter friendship quiz enclosed

hi hi! I'm going for a different approach to this sub and instead will do a sort of QUIZ (who doesn't love a quiz!) Below is a series of questions, each answer is a yes or no, the more you nod and answer yes the b e t t e r.

  1. you're clingy
  2. you're whacky
  3. you're not afraid to be yourself
  4. you're down to earth
  5. you like chatting shit with random british man online

I hope you have a neck ache from the nods. I am hoping to find people to talk to long term, this is an effort at building legitimate long term friendships! I don't really know how to write a good post, feels like writing a quiz. I'm an enjoyer of silly humour, whacky random chats, going with the flow and being an idiot. Just have fun and be down to earth : D hope to hear from you!

p.s. did you hear about that elephant at sea world???

28M looking for longterm friend

Hey! I am a 28m (EST-1), software engineer with a lot of time to text with people, I like playing games, watching anime, reading manga and learning pixel art. I really enjoy spending time together, even if its just texting or we can even paralell play, calling, streaming something to each other. I also enjoy watching youtube videos, but my videos are all over the place, gaming related stuff, reaction videos, and so on. I want to find a friend that we can both be comfortable about yapping about anything to each other, be silly and enjoy our days. I just want a platonic friendship, and nothing else. If you feel like we could vibe, send me a message, tell me about yourself and lets chat! I know that I am a bit shy/anxious at first, so it takes a little bit of time for me to warm up and start to even text more freely, so please hang in there!

30 year old seeks internet friends

I moved to the country side a few years ago and have found my self missing having friends or people to hang out with or talk to regularly. (Nz is +12 for time zone)

I enjoy gardening and spending time with my cat.

I really like movies and of varying genres. Tell me your favourite movies or what you watched for the spooky season.

If you have a favourite video game you can always start a conversation with what it is or why it is.

looking for good, long-term convo :)

hello! :) 16f looking for long-term convos.

first & foremost, i talk a lot. my biggest stipulation is that you should too — it’s actually in your own best interest, because if you’re not also big-mouthed, you surely could not stand me. i value engaging regular convo, so i’m looking for expressive, emotionally in-tune communicators.

some things that i like:

  • literature (writing is my one love), linguistics (i like looking at the way we communicate & learning languages), stem
  • amusement/theme parks, nature & animals, adventures (yes to spontaneous excursions that are about the journey over the destination)
  • organization & planning, gift-making/giving, baking/cooking for friends
  • diy/handmade, fashion, textile crafts, gardening (items in this bullet and the one below are mostly things i’m not very experienced at, am learning about, or used to like and want to pick up again)
  • note-taking, journaling, scrapbooking
  • playing & listening to music; i listen to every genre except hyperpop/techno/speedcore, but i gravitate toward alt/indie rock

i’ve always been an overthinker whose very tried but not-so-true defense mechanism is to shut down & close up, which i’m trying to change. like anyone else, i’ve got my things, & i’m a work in progress.

my biggest pet peeves are boring/short first messages, poor convo skills, holding back/filtering, overly rigid or histrionic humor, & bandwagon. it’s also only fair that i too disclose the things about myself that might put off many: i talk a lot (i have to reiterate this), i have a tendency to avoid addressing behavior that upsets me right away, & i have some strange hobbies not aforementioned.

i like people w/ warm, gentle & calm temperaments who take on more leading roles in convo. aaand i click best w/ other writers! i love writing, in case i haven’t already mentioned.
