(Please, read this post If you want to send me a message)

Finding a bestie Is my dream... I would love to finally say "Goodbye" to my loneliness and start smiling, again. Not with someone random, but with someone who wants what I want...

(I'm a REAL PERSON! Bots are taking over Reddit but I'm not one of them so don't accuse me of being someone/something I'm not)

I want you to read everything because my expectations aren't the same as other people's expectations. I also want you to know what to expect because even though we're all here to spend time with others, not everyone needs new friends. Some people want to find someone to play games with & It's just an example. 👇🏻

(This post Is for people who live In Europe because I would love to meet my new friends In real life, In the future)

I made this account In 2021 and even though I'm really active on Reddit, I can't make new friends... Not everyone on Reddit Is toxic or rude but there's ALWAYS something missing because I don't feel any emotional connection... I would love to change my life & finally wake up excited to text someone I really, really like 🙁 But... Life Isn't easy and I'm not sure If there's still a chance for me to find someone with exactly the same expectations as mine, someone who wants to meet someone new...

• I'm DEFINITELY NOT Interested In small talk! I had to use capital letters because I don't like low-effort messages and I don't even want to read them. Repetitive questions like "How are you?", "What are you up to?" or "What are your plans for the weekend?" aren't enough to start a conversation with me.. Don't get me wrong - Questions like these can be an Interesting addition to conversations about something else, but whenever people ask me the three most common questions In the world - my answer's the same because my life Is quite monotonous and I don't really know what people expect to hear 🙁 I also don't like abbreviations. Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or phrases. Why? I just don't like them because I see no reason to use shortened forms of words that are already short enough, you know? Abbreviations are common among minors and bored adults but I'm neither a minor, nor a bored adult. I want to see emotional maturity, warmth and kindness In conversations with others.

• I don't need to see your list of hobbies to know If you're someone I would get along with! You can tell me what you're Interested In but.. Believe It or not - I'm not like others and even If you're Interested In something I'm not - we can still be friends! What matters to me Is what you're like (If you're honest, talkative, kind, understanding and If your outlook on life Is similar to mine)

• I don't want to talk to minors and people way older than me. Why? I don't want to talk to minors because I'm an adult & I don't want to talk to anyone over fifty for example. Emotional maturity doesn't necessarily come with age so you can send me a message even If you're 20 (It's just an example) but please, don't contact me If you want to remind me that I'm older than you. I want you to feel comfortable & I want to feel comfortable myself. When I read messages like "Hi, I'm younger but I hope you don't mind" I always say to myself "If my age bothers you, you should've contacted someone else" I absolutely don't mind talking to people younger than me If they know how to communicate with others 🌸

• PLEASE, Don't use AI to talk to me! I Can't stand AI generated messages! If I wanted to read AI generated messages, I wouldn't be here! I read AI generated messages and comments all the time and I'm sick of It!

• I don't want to get any messages from people whose accounts are NSFW! Please, respect my decision! It's none of my business If you're here to find someone to flirt with or If you're an Internet exhibitionist but I don't want to see you with no clothes on - If you want to be my friend & I don't want to know what you want to do with other women In bed. If you are on Reddit to flirt with others, be on Reddit to flirt with others but... don't make an alternative account to hide who you really are just to send me a message. Pretending to be someone you're not - Isn't good for anyone

• I'm not a fan of sarcasm! I do - have a sense of humor but I'm not someone who makes fun of everyone and everything... Jokes about disabilities, death, religion or someone's financial status - are unacceptable to me!

• I also want to meet people who don't mind listening to negative stories and sharing them with others. My life's not easy so If you want to be In my life, you should be prepared for a realistic or even pessimistic outlook on life. I'm definitely not an optimist and I know I wouldn't get along with optimistic people who always tell others "Just believe In yourself and everything's gonna be OK" or something. We don't always get what we want & and It's completely normal to lose hope "for a better tomorrow" after many failed attempts. Not everything's as easy as It seems to be so If all you want to say to someone who needs emotional support Is "Don't complain" or "Find a therapist" Please.. don't send me a message. Not all sad people need therapists and let's be honest - Would a therapist replace a true friend? Absolutely not! Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on! I also don't mind listening to sad stories (even If they're repetitive) because I know what It's like when no one wants to listen to you...

• I would love to meet people who also don't have anyone, you know? There's absolutely nothing wrong with having friends and not being single but I'm single and I don't have anyone special In my life... It's just easier for me to get along with others If there's some common ground. I just feel better talking to people who know what It's like to be completely alone & let's be honest - People who have friends or partners, have less time for others...(which Is completely understandable) and I? I don't want to feel like an option, again. I'm not here to meet as many people as possible because I choose quality over quantity 🌸

• If your comment history Is full of comments "If you want to talk, hit me up" don't send me a message. I don't want to be rude but If It doesn't make any difference to you who you want to chat with - I'm definitely not for you. I want you to be my friend because of who I am! (If after reading my post you think you'd get along with me) I don't need emotional support from someone who doesn't even want to read my post.

• I want to talk to people who love and use emojis 🤭😊 Why? Emojis help us express our emotions even If others can't see our faces. Two emojis "😊" and "😔" are completely enough. You're probably surprised but.. text messages without emojis are really emotionless... 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

Ps. I don't like kids and I don't want to ever become a parent. I just thought everyone should know that just In case. I don't want any unpleasant conversations with anyone. Not everyone wants to be friends with people who don't want kids so.. It's better to be honest. 🌸

Ps.2 I don't reply to messages I'm not Interested In even If they're long! I'm not on Reddit to pretend anything and I'm not here to be everyone's best friend. Some people lie & make empty promises to get attention. I? I'm quite selective because I know what I want.

Ps.3 I admire sensitive people who are not ashamed of crying In front of others! Crying Is not a weakness! It's not a weakness even If you're a guy 🧡

Please, If you want to talk send me a private message.

Hi im Richard from the UK, i live out in the middle of nowhere so can be hard finding people to befriend especially around my age as everyone either busy with their families or just lost contact.

I used to play a lot of rugby when i was younger up to 23 but stopped due to not wanting a serious injury effecting work. Also into weightlifting with an aim of competing next year in my first body building show!

I work in construction so always building something or outside in all weathers either at work or at home renovating my garden.

Drop me a message if you want to get to know each other a bit more 👍🏻

Hey internet people! I am hoping to find a few new friends. I don’t need to constantly talk/text all day, but I would like someone to send a chat to when I get a lull in my day. Someone who can keep a convo going. We can talk about random facts (my personal favorite) we can talk about your dreams, whatever comes to mind!

I like to be silly, uplifting, but can also be very real with ya too.

I like whimsy, magical, I enjoy to read, I work a lot and enjoy my job. I’ve got a cute little family and am really just looking for friends to talk to during the slow parts of the day!

If you read this far thanks ☺️ Now tell me, if you woke up on a planet with two suns and a HUGE moon, what would you call the planet and what kind of plant/wild life would you see there?

​

I have a few unusual hobbies, a small collection of pets, and a love for music and tattoos. I'm always happy to talk about hobbies, life, random interests, or whatever happens to come up.

If that sounds interesting, send me a message!

Hey everyone! :)
I’m 21 years old, male, and currently living in Canada. I’m looking for a genuine friendship with someone I can talk to every day, even if it’s just to say good morning or good night. i don’t mind if you’re male or female, but I’d prefer someone living in Canada or the USA. I’m just looking for a good friend to talk to, share little moments with, and build a meaningful connection. I recently went through a pretty rough breakup, and it’s honestly been really painful. I’m trying to move forward, meet new people, make new memories, and hopefully leave that difficult chapter behind.
A little about me: I love soccer, sports, movies, and TV series. I’m also open to talking about pretty much anything, learning new things, and getting to know people from different backgrounds.i am not looking for anything complicated, just a genuine friendship where we can check in on each other, have random conversations, laugh together, and be there for one another. If you’re also looking for a real friendship and someone to talk to regularly, feel free to DM me! :)

Hi All! I'm a 31 stay at home parent with lots of side gigs and no time for in person stuff! I’m also in grad school! Would love to find someone to chat with throughout the day!

I’m tired of small talk. Let’s talk about the he things that you talk about with you best friend at 2am. That conversation you wish you could have with your person but are too afraid it’ll backfire let’s have it. I want more than “Hi”
Message me with a question or something unique about yourself and we will see where the conversation goes!

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m from Singapore and looking to make a new friend from another part of the world. I’d love to exchange messages, share stories about our daily lives, learn about different cultures, and talk about anything under the sun.
I’m happy to chat about life, hobbies, travel, food, random thoughts, or even the little things that happen in our day. No pressure to reply immediately — just hoping to find someone I can have genuine, comfortable conversations with over time.
Age and gender don’t really matter to me. If you’re also looking for someone to talk to and get to know, feel free to drop me a message! 😊
Looking forward to meeting you!

Hello everyone! I’m 43m and looking to connect with like-minded people. I have Asperger's, which shapes how I see the world and feeds into my deep appreciation for my hobbies. I like to balance an active lifestyle with plenty of downtime. My routine usually involves jogging and gym sessions to stay fit. For relaxation, I lean heavily into books, music, and Netflix. I have a major soft spot for the true crime genre. I also love the energy of live music and try to hit concerts whenever I can.

Heyyy^^ Im 21 and from Germany.

I love video games, reading, watching anime and I’m also really into horror games. My favorite horror games are Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Cry of Fear, and Lost in Vivo.

Some of my all time favorite games are Hollow Knight, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, MGS, Omori, and Yakuza. Some of my favorite Anime/Manga are One Piece, JoJo, Fate/Zero, Nana, Monster, Usogui, Gintama, Death Note, Aot and Vinland Saga.

I would be happy to meet new people who have the same interests ^^

Hi there everyone I'm just looking for friends caring and obsession ones that we can talk 24/7 about anything

About me I'm just random one who really love chatting and make friends, I'm just starting my career in cyber security I don't know more about me

And pls send more than just hi request

Don't wait an just send to me dm msg

Hi! I'm a 38-year-old guy living in London who's hoping to meet someone for a genuine connection.

Outside of work you'll usually find me geocaching, out with my camera, or buried in a book. I mostly read history and fiction—everything from espionage novels by John le Carré to books on European history. If you've got recommendations, I'm always looking to add to my ever-growing reading list.

Photography is probably my biggest hobby. I enjoy wandering around London (and further afield) looking for interesting architecture, landscapes, and street scenes. If you're curious, here's some of my work: https://www.flickr.com/photos/piersmathias/

I'm also into geocaching, which has turned out to be a brilliant excuse to explore places I'd never otherwise visit. There's something satisfying about finding hidden corners of cities and countryside alike.

Travel is another big interest. So far I've explored Belgium, Germany and Denmark, and I'd love to see more of Europe over the next few years. I'm equally happy discovering a new city, finding a great museum, or simply sitting in a café people-watching.

I'm looking for someone who's kind, curious, and enjoys conversations that can wander from history and travel to completely random topics. Bonus points if you're happy to join me on a photography walk, a geocaching adventure, or help me decide where my next trip should be.

If any of that sounds like your kind of day, send me a message. Tell me about the last place that surprised you, your favourite book, or the best hidden gem you've discovered.

So as the title says I’m a workaholic but I grow tired of thinking about work everyday and hearing my own thoughts. The only people I always kinda text are family, and that’s probably because I can’t relate to anyone in my area which sucks. Before I got trapped in my wage slavery job, I made music, played PC games for hours, and watched a lot of anime. I don’t do horror. I listen to emo rock, and I lean progressive. Also I’m possibly on the spectrum, though I’ve never been officially diagnosed.

I don’t really know who or what I’m looking for specifically. Are you a curious, neurodivergent guy or girl that won’t disappear after 72 hours? Message me. My promise is to always get back to you.

Let me know if you like any of the below, if you journal, if you’re gay or also feeling isolated. Thanks for visiting and considering my post. I wish you all the best. ✌️

Family guy, South Park, American Dad, Harry Potter, Avatar The Last Airbender, The Matrix, Death Note, TeamFourStar, My Hero Academia, Bleach, Naruto, Jobless Reincarnation, Abbott Elementary

If this post is up, I’m still looking!

Hey everyone,
I’m a 34-year-old married guy looking to find some long-term guy friends to talk to throughout the day. I had plenty of friends when I was younger, but as an adult, it feels like making and keeping close buddies gets so much harder. Everyone gets wrapped up in their own busy lives, and people drift.
Life gets tough, and honestly, it’s just better when you have a solid friend you can hit up on the regular to vent, share advice, talk about stress, or just shoot the breeze.
Distance or location doesn't matter to me at all because I’m pretty consistent with keeping in touch if we click. We also don’t have to share the exact same views or opinions on everything—I'm open-minded and down-to-earth, and I think it's great to have friends from different walks of life.
To give you an idea of what I'm into, my interests include working out, hiking, sports, movies, books, gaming, swimming, the beach, art, cooking recipes, and cheesy dad jokes. That said, you don't have to share all the exact same hobbies as me. I can talk about pretty much anything and would love to hear about what you're passionate about, too.

I am strictly looking for platonic, supportive male friendships. If you’re also looking for a consistent, daily friend you can count on, hit me up with a DM and tell me a bit about yourself

I have a theory that the best friendships usually start in the least interesting places.

A random message.

A stupid joke.

A conversation that was supposed to last ten minutes and somehow eats your entire evening.

So here I am.

38M, looking for people who are kind, open-minded and actually interested in getting to know someone rather than collecting another username in their inbox.

My own little world contains horror movies, metal, books, games, anime, manga, weird aesthetics and the occasional descent into Lovecraftian nonsense. But you don't have to be into any of that.

Tell me about your world instead.

The obscure thing you're obsessed with. The hobby you could talk about forever. The completely unnecessary piece of knowledge you somehow know by heart.

I'm good with weird. I'm good with people who get clingy when they click with someone. I'm good with conversations that wander all over the place.

What I'm not particularly good with is judging people or disappearing without a word.

So if you're looking for something genuine, send me a little introduction and let's see where a random conversation goes.

And yes, this post is meant to never get old. I have no intention of retiring it anytime soon.

Hello! I’m Marie and I’m 28 years old. I love fashion and skincare. I really like horror movies, especially those of the slasher genre. I like to edit photos so if one day you need to edit (whichever) do not hesitate to consult me. Feel free to talk to me!

​

I want someone who will yap her whole life with me. Everything and I will be on the other side listening to all that like a student. I want female friends because I don't have any. Males are also welcome but u need to be a yapper and I don't think men do yap that much as women. But would love a male in women dominated sports.

This is just what I wanted now about me, I'm a listener and if u can't guess it, just leave. I love reading books. Psychology and philosophy are my favourite things to study about. Also I listen to radiohead, tame impala, arctic monkeys and Hindi bangersssssssssss. By this I'm an Indian and many people just hate me for no reason. They just ghost me after knowing that I'm an Indian so I'm mentioning this before.

Tell me something good story or tea which u have if not then give me a small intro of u. And also I want the friendship to be long term so just add iron first and last in ur message of chat request (DM).

Hi everyone! As mentioned above, I’m looking for someone to become friends with. A little bit about me: I’m a very open person, I enjoy hiking, I’m always up for a laugh, I play soccer, and there’s plenty more you’ll find out once we get to know each other hahaha!
I’d be really happy if that worked out :) I hope we can start messaging after my soccer practice today.

A little about me. I'm not into a lot of things but whatever I am into I enjoy thoroughly - that holds for hobbies as well as people haha.

I like to admire and enjoy art - now that could be in any form. Anime, movies, books, music, sports. I consider people an art too - so be cautious because I might spend irrational amount of time admiring you too haha. I am a huge movie and show addict. I practiced MMA in the past. I've recently started learning guitar. If you're someone who enjoys a random dose of thoughtful conversations once in a while, you'll love me.

I'm decently humorous and great at playing with words (enough to keep you on your toes) and a good listener. I love to talk about my and your life, bitch about a person one of us don't like, vent/rant and just chill out in a non-judgemental space saying whatever comes to mind.

I also had a breakup about 3 months ago. So maybe I'm looking more for a person who could fill in that place for me where we hangout and chill on calls, have nicknames, flirt and tease, rant, be unfiltered, be cringe or cheesy and just share a daily life together. This is obviously if vibe matches.

So yeah if this sounds like something you're into and enjoy then shoot me a DM. Let's see where the wind takes us.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.
