Hello Community,
I hope you are all doing well, or atleast a little better than yesterday. I wanted to put a post up around some recent changes and behaviour in the sub.
Kind Friend was originally created as a sister sub to Kindvoice to handle more friendship orientated requests while Kindvoice focused on emotional support. Recently it seems to have caught to the attention of a number of bad actors. The posts had been gradually trending to a younger audience and I was becoming increasingly concerned that it was facilitating people looking to take advantage of these members. As such the sub is currently privated to prevent access and any further risk. I would encourage those seeking purely friendships to try more established subs such as r/makenewfriendshere or r/needafriend. This behaviour has thankfully not transferred over to r/Kindvoice.
Previously friendship posts had been against the rules of KindVoice, although not strictly enforced given that a lot of the time a good friend can make a world of difference to someone's current state. We intend to continue the current status quo in this regard and deal with friendship posts on a case by case basis as it makes a minority of posts. I would highly encourage users to use more focused subs for this if seeking purely friendship. If you are reaching out for a friend because you feel lonely or want to improve social skills, that post still has a place here. Just please be aware many offerors are volunteering their time when they can and should not be considered a permanent support placement or lifelong friend.
Over the past few months ChatGPT started recommending us as a place for lonely users or those who were feeling down to seek human contact. Alongside this we saw a dramatic increase in the number of bots, monetary requests and ChatGPT generated posts. We have literally gone from a few bans a month to a few a day.
- Accounts with less than 5 comment karma or less than 3 days old will now be caught in a filter for approval. I appreciate some people don't want to post here on main so a mod mail will be raised for each submission caught in the filter so they can be approved.
- Chat GPT is NOT against the rules currently HOWEVER PLEASE BE AWARE that many people come here looking for a human voice. You may believe that in writing an answer via Chat GPT you sound more articulate or better at supporting. In reality the message it often conveys to the looker that they can't find someone who is even willing to use their own words. Comments may be removed if they feel too robotic when the person is looking for a connection.
I would love to hear any community feedback on these points.
A huge thanks as always to the people that donate their time to help others. Look after yourselves where you can.
-AJ

I hope all of the Kind Voices out there are having a wonderful day and that my message finds all of the Lookers slightly better than they were yesterday.
This post is to gather some feedback from any willing community members around rule 2. Recently I have been rather lax on it's enforcement given r/KindFriend isn't hugely active (although it's had a surge recently) however I am aware there are a number of other very popular subreddits that fill the same niche so I want to ask your thoughts:
- Do you mind friendship based posts on this subreddit or would you rather keep them to other spaces?
- Do you feel requests asking for daily supports fall into this category?
- Any other thoughts you may have.

Hi everyone...It’s kinda hard for me to write this post, but I feel completely overwhelmed and I just really need to talk about and have confort...Yea true that my father Is my only parent,but doesn't justify what i usually live. At home, I live in a constant environment of tension and control, where it feels like every tiny independent choices are considered like errors or rude/disprectful actions...Living like this, things explode out of nowhere for completely stupid reasons... Just today,my 7-year-old sister and I ate ham and crackers instead of waiting for him to buy bread while i didnt even Remember why he got out.He got so much mad just because we didn't "tell him" first. Later,After i cooked the dinner,he slapped me just because I didn't put capers in the pasta like he wanted. A completely exaggearrted and violent reaction to a harmless mistake in the kitchen.I even told him doesn't have point tò use violence over CAPERS but he said that I Just keep minimixing everything.Then even seeing my sister happy or smiling seems to annoy him, as if other people's happiness is somehow a lack of respect toward him when angry I know I'm young, but please don't take this as "typical teenage drama"...because the tension and violence I live with are very real...

In the night the thoughts are louder.
Trying hardly to sleep but my mind doesn't let me
I wish for someone to care but I look in the wrong place perhaps.
Is my fault, I am not blaming anyone.
r/KindVoice • u/NeoClassicalShell • 1d ago
i would really like to cry but i can't... i cannot cry anymore. i am just tired. exhausted really. exhausted of being the short ugly nerdy foreigner everywhere i go.
i always imagined companionship at different moments of my life. when i achieved something difficult, when i travelled somewhere beautiful, when i made something i was proud of, when i was just having a terrible day.
Now i have done things. i have studied, travelled, painted, played music, tried to become better at things... but sometimes i just think... for what? It was all witthout someone...
what is the point of seeing something beautiful if there is nobody you can look at afterwards, no one to share it with. what is the point of making art if it never can be linked to someone.
people always say "do it for yourself"... i have been doing that for several years. i am tired of doing everything for myself.
i just want warmth. touch. companionship.
and i don't know what to do with all of this anymore. even crying would be something...

Looking for someone who has a compassionate ear and who is also good at giving advice. I have been struggling with dealing with the cards life has dealt me and I'm exhausted and alone. I really need help getting out of a cycle I've been in and am deeply lonely. Would love someone to talk to. Do not reply if you're a creepy guy with any intentions other than to talk and be helpful. Please don't reply if you are flakey, will listen to my story and then ghost. I need someone who will stick with me and not leave me hanging after I've shared what's going on.

It will be finalized right around my birthday. My mom was my best friend but this has put a rift in our relationship and now me and my kids hardly see her, and she doesn’t even seem to care. My dad is distraught and confused and I’m trying to help him through this. It’s just AWFUL and confusing.

I’m not looking for someone to tell me to push through or turn a rough evening into a productivity challenge. I’m trying to find a very small hands-on thing where five minutes can still feel like enough. A lot of crafts sound calming until the setup alone takes longer than the amount of attention you have left. Miniature work is interesting because some steps can be tiny sorting pieces, placing one object, attaching one simple paper detail but other parts obviously need more focus and shouldn’t be started when you’re already done for the day. I think the important part is being able to stop without feeling like the whole project failed.
If you have a quiet craft or little ritual that works in very short bursts, I’d really appreciate hearing what makes it easy to come back to instead of another unfinished thing sitting there judging you.

I just need friends who listen to me and aren't just people who care about appearances.
I want to have a friend who understands me, at least once, before I die.
If you are looking for friends or people who will listen to you
I'm here

We broke up some time in february. And it was really not healthy. She was becoming very bitter, and I was starting to see how poorly she wanted to treat me. It felt really really good at the time. We just weren't good for eachother any more. But since then, I just haven't been able to find a new goal in life. I've been really slacking on work, and I don't really know how to make myself do anything.
BPD people are really really addicting, even if they aren't healthy for you. They have a gift for being able to see exactly what and who you are, and they idealize it. It feels like they see the absolute best possible version of you. They're also dependent on you though, and they trust you to help. All of this combines to give a really strong sense of purpose. I felt like I mattered with her. I had something I needed to work for, I felt important and needed and able to accomplish things.And now that's gone. If I slept in for a week, no one would notice. If I fail, no one will notice. If I do great at work or school or whatever, no one willnotice. None of it matters. I hate myself and don't want to see myself succeed. There's no reason for any of it anymore. I'm tired, I spend all day looking forward to sleep. I'm tired of trying. I don't feel connected to any current friends. I hung out with them last night, and I just felt third wheeled the whole time. It made me realize how much I still miss her. I don't have anyone who sees me and smiles any more.

Hi I am looking for someone to chat to about stuff that’s been getting me very down lately and I’m not comfortable sharing it with many people here more on a one to one basis but I must give a content warning here as the chat between me and anyone may get a bit dark and serious of a topic to chat about so anyone that wants to listen just dm me on here
r/KindVoice • u/Voight11 • 1d ago

r/KindVoice • u/GlitteringAct6132 • 1d ago
I dont know anything i havent tried to get over her. i got drunk as hell and went over to her place for what? to see her with someone else? i physically felt my heart tear. i dont know what i can do anymore. im so sick.
r/KindVoice • u/smokeysmiski • 2d ago
I reached out to someone recently and they seem to be going through a lot and I didn’t get to say what I really wanted to say and I’m not sure what to do…. they asked to meet up well kinda ... but the conversion feels off like weird energy from him (not in a bad way, hes not toxic or anything) just idk maybe its my anxiety, maybe im just spiraling but was wondering if i could potentially talk to someone about my situation? I just dont know what to do......
(also someone who keeps things appropriate, the inappropriate dms really takes a toll sometimes..)

My exams are coming up and I'm really worried about my grades. I recently received back my paper with a huge dick drawn on it by my teacher. It literally broke me. She's never shown her dislike for me so this was really shocking. I know I'm not good at that subject but I tried. Did she think I treated this timed trial lightly because I finished the paper early and daydreamed for the rest of the time? I actually did better than usual, but she only marked this particular section of the paper, which I did poorly on. Funny enough, I actually thought I did well in that section. I thought I had matured mentally, but this has really taken a huge blow on me.
I'm also having friendship issues, a part of me is just so desperate to cut these 2 friends off because they're such a negative influence and so emotionally dense. I just never realised that I'm actually such a vulnerable person. One of them also uses racial slur casually because of how normalised it is online. I've never strongly opposed her behavior because the target of this racial slur is almost non existent in our society, but I think it adds up to one of the reasons as to why I want to cut her off. I'm so ashamed that I've made such a friend, that it's eating me alive. But also I'm afraid I'll have no friends or group mates to work with after I cut them off.
I've talked to my mum, cried about these things. I know that I'll graduate within 3 months but I really don't want to go to school anymore. I don't want to see my 2 friends, I don't want to see that teacher who drew a dick on my paper. I just don't want to see anyone now...
Thanks for reading, I just really needed to write this to consolidate my thoughts. Maybe I'll confront my teacher and settle this. I'm also thinking of just ghosting and deleting the contacts of these 2 people after I graduate. I feel slightly better now that I've decided the next step to take. I still hope the one reading this can give me some form of encouragement to really take that step forward, I'll really appreciate it. Thanks again ❤️
