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.
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
Well, it’s exciting to meet people you will never meet in real life so you can be totally yourself if you are up to that or a chat hmu
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! 😊
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!

Hey everyone,
A couple of years ago I decided to go back to school to study animation (I was doing my PhD before in an unrelated field). Its been very fun, but changing life course at this age has meant ive been feeling a bit lonely. Im hoping to meet cool people, especially if you like art, music, gaming, and/or movies (happy to chat with any one though).
21F here from the UK, looking for friends.
I’m alt and love listening to metal. I also game, write and practice guitar. I love creepy stuff too.
I’m only looking for people aged 21-25, Idm where you’re from. I prefer to chat on discord too. No NSFW stuff please! :)
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.
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!
yoo im currently looking for a close friend or two. i dont really have many people to talk to rn so i thought id find a cool and chill person to vibe with, play games with maybe, vc or just anything really. a little bit about me is im from the usa, and i enjoy music a lot. im very passionate about playing instruments as well. i also enjoy bodybuilding and powerlifting as well and i love fishing and hiking too. im kind of an nerd tbh and i love reading fantasy stuff and i enjoy tabletop games as well :).
if you need a friend or someone to yap with please feel free to hmu :)
Little under the influence and would love to yap message me. Don't be boring tho I will not respond if you don't engage well in conversation
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.
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???
hello everyone, my name is jaeyoung, i'm from south korea and i'm going to travel to america next month. i was hoping i could talk with americans to get some advice for my trip. thank you!
I just really need someone to talk to.
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!

Hi 👋🏼
I’m from Scotland 🏴 and I’m looking to meet new people and hopefully make some new friends!
I’m a HUGE horror fan, and I love anything creepy/paranormal
my hobbies include gaming, music (older rock especially) football, true crime, being outdoors and finding new places to visit/urban exploring
I’m heavily tattooed, always looking at new ideas and I love to see what other people have/share my own
I also have a dog who I spend most of my time with 🐶
I like learning about other peoples hobbies and interests, even if they aren’t the same as mine
Feel free to send me a message if you think we’d get along 😄
I'm a recluse who could use some company throughout my days.
I would like someone who does not have many friends or obligations and can offer consistent conversation.
Interests include gaming, psychology, technology, philosophy, health, and cute / funny things like cats and memes.
Shoot me a message if interested.
Talking to strangers is my coping mechanism

A bit about me, I'm from Canada 🇨🇦 i enjoy videogames, swimming, memes, cats, reading horror, etc. I'm down to have a deep conversation or keep things light, whichever. Talk to me about your political stances, your ideologies, anything. Please keep it SFW if you do decide to message me, and please no men! I want people I'm able to relate to!
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:
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.
As the title says I'm 15 and I'm looking for friends you can ask me anything on dm's but a few of my hobbies are listening to music,hiking and playing with my cat and some other interests are geography cats\dogs and anything country related im perfectly fine with any age or gender so dm me if your interested or don't if you don't wanna
Hello! My name is James. Looking to make some new friends. I'm kind of a big soft teddy bear. I am always there for my friends and a good listening ear.
I am in Band, Choir, and Theater. I was in football until just a few weeks ago when I got injured. I love football, basketball, musical theater, and all things music. I game on Xbox some, currently playing the new COD6, but I play almost anything. I have depression, anxiety, and ADHD so I totally understand mental health struggles and im here to help if you need to talk about things like that. Send me a DM, I would love to talk.
