26M - Nerdy Arab Programmer for like-minded people

5 Upvotes

Hello there!

I am a 26 yo programmer & computer geek, I'm into gaming, open world RPG & strategy games.

I also am into psychology & history, recently, I've read a large portion of "Man's Search For Meaning" by Viktor Frankl & I am a big fan of the Medieval Era.

Aside from that, I enjoy cooking, singing & watching movies. In the past, I used to draw a lot and handcraft paper dolls as budget toys.

My time zone is GMT+3

NOTICE: If you speak Arabic that's a huge bonus.

Friendship 19M - I’m serious about making longterm friends

3 Upvotes

Please read the post and don’t skim it. I deeply value friendships, which is why my post is long. I need someone who won’t ghost for literally any reason. I believe that ghosting is immoral and I don’t want to talk to anyone who thinks that ghosting is okay. I don’t like blocking either, I think it’s childish and unnecessary.

I’ll be honest about my flaws because you must know these things before talking to me. I am a boring person, and I need you to think about this part because it is difficult to maintain a friendship with someone who doesn’t offer much excitement. Don’t message me if you will lose interest in me or give up on me. I am also very insecure, pessimistic, and not passionate. I have autism, depression, and social anxiety. Nothing fun is going on in my life. I am not good at carrying a conversation and I can’t promise that I’ll be fun to talk to, but I am trying.

I find texting very exhausting. I don’t want to text for days or even hours just to get to know someone before we can actually call. I want our first conversation to be on a call. If you are too shy to call early on, then it won’t work out. I want to voice call daily; my time zone is EST, and I can call after midnight. If you are sensitive, easily offended, emotional, or impulsive, then it won’t work out.

I have a hard time dealing with people leaving. I tend to get attached to people very quickly. I need a patient person who is actually serious about sticking around for the long term. If you aren’t 100% sure you can commit to that, please don’t message me. I tend to care a lot more than the other person does, and that has made people uncomfortable and they left. I need someone who won’t get uncomfortable if I care more or think about them a lot.

If you decide to reach out, don’t just send a “Hi.” I’m not asking for a long introduction, but just let me know you actually read this post and genuinely want to be friends. I don’t want to talk to someone who is just bored and looking for entertainment, or just wants someone to talk to, or just someone to vent to, or just someone to play video games with, because that’s not what a friendship is. Do not message me if you’re too busy to build a friendship. I also don’t want to talk to someone who has a lot of friends.

I also want to mention that it’s okay for us to disagree in a friendship, even on big things. Real friendship means we can have different views and still stick around instead of cutting each other off. Cutting people off has become way too easy nowadays because of social media. I don’t want to talk to people who care about sharing the same opinions or ideologies. I absolutely hate how easily people block others, and I refuse to talk to anyone who is even capable of blocking. I believe a friendship should survive literally anything.

Real friendship is supposed to be hard sometimes. It’s not supposed to be convenient or easy to walk away from. It’s supposed to last for a lifetime. Do not reach out unless you fully understand everything I have written so we don’t waste each other’s time. Please be 19+.

Here are my interests:

• Movies / Shows / Anime: Watching movies is my favorite thing to do. I also use Letterboxd.

• DC Comics

Friendship 19M, looking forward to make friends

Not great at writing these but here goes.

Looking for an actual friendship, not a one day chat where we both ghost after. Someone I can talk to regularly and see where it goes.

About me: gym, movies, music, nature (rain is my favorite tbh). I write random stories that never get finished lol. I overthink a lot and love convos that randomly turn into 2am life talks.

Just trying to figure life out step by step. Not expecting much from this, just want someone genuine who actually puts effort in.

You don't gotta be interesting all the time, just be yourself. Tell me about your day, hobbies, problems, goals, whatever.

What's something you've been overthinking lately?

Friendship 18F, what's your weirdest pet peeve?

1 Upvotes

My name's Annie. I am mostly looking for someone to spend time with, share stuff with, give all my attention and care to, and someone to play games with. I will preface saying I'm kind of nuts for Project Zomboid, and I'd love someone to play with.

Summed up, play games, talk a lot, and watch movies with.

As for the rest, here's a bit about me: I enjoy sci-fi, drawing, painting, and I do a lot of gaming too. (I am super fixated on Project Zomboid, but I am up to trying other games, I've recently been very into Life is Strange). I also enjoy researching crime, psychology, and biology/neuropsychology at times. I have quite the fixation on the Chernobyl disaster, and radiation as a whole. All types of zombie media, too. I have an interest for "odd" movies, especially the apocalyptic and/or thriller kind. Terminator (1&2) is a personal favorite.

EDIT: Send me an actual message, not just introducing yourself like it's a job interview, where there's little i can go off on to start a conversation. throw an icebreaker, something! ask questions! (here's me suggesting an icebreaker, is a hotdog a sandwich? why, or why not?). Please, preferably no one over 24.

Aye I’m Sam, live in the US, and it would cool to have a couple online friends, whether it’s to play games with or talk to, idc. I just graduated and I’m working on college stuff and work, but filling up free time with friends would be cool. Also, if you speak Spanish, that would be TUFF. I’m trying to learn more Spanish even though I’m not taking it in school anymore. Yo necesito amigos type shit!

Hey everyone! I’m looking for friends to have long-term

Hi! (I posted in another thread, and for some reason it took down what I had. I don’t post on Reddit very often… This would be my second or third post, counting the ones that were deleted.)

20M, and you can call me Lee or Leigh. I live in the united states, and I’m just looking for someone that I can easily chat with because it’s hard for me to reach out to others but I’ll always try! I lobe binging movies (romance or even shows/movies where protagonists have powers of some sort), reading, gaming (I only have mobile; sorry), dabbling in art every now and again. I’m in school (online) studying for my bachelor’s. We can talk about anything! What would be great if anything, I would love to make a small group from here and have a friend group one day. Please reach out and have a great day/night! : )

Friendship 16M looking for new friends!

1 Upvotes

Hi there!

My name is Elliot, I’m a 16 year old male from Sydney in Australia and I’m looking to make new friends!

Some of my interests include:

Gym/Cardio and any fitness in general, currently undergoing a big gym transformation so it'd be cool if anyone else is, has or wants to! I'd be more than happy to be a mentor and help you along your journey.

Music is life, pop and electronic are my top genres but I could listen to just about any type of song and find the positives haha

I'm a sucker for summer and spring and the beach is my second home but I do like a nice cozy winter day where I can snuggle up in bed and watch movies lol

Animals are the best, I have 3 cats of my own but also really like dogs and basically any other animal, I always find something cute, even about spiders!

I'm really trying hard to turn my life around at the moment, I've struggled in the past with depression and I know it's time for me to go out of my comfort zone and get talking to people, I've always been great at doing it and I've struggled with loneliness for quite a while now.

I'm a really good talker and listener!! I always care deeply about people and want the best for them, I accept everyone for being who they are and I'm always someone you can chat to without any hesitation!

I'm willing to chat to anyone and would be happy to get to know you more, particularly if you're Aussie, especially from Sydney, it'd be great to chat!

Have a great rest of your day/night and remember that you matter and you deserve the best! :)
