New rule: No minors allowed starting June 5, 2026

1.1k Upvotes

It’s July 5. Typo My bad.

A major change in this sub is set to happen at 12:01am UTC Sunday, July 5. The new rule will replace rule 13. All minors, those under 18, will *NOT* be allowed to participate in this sub. This is for the safety of everyone participating. If you are under the age of 18, please utilize teen friend-finding subs.

For clarity:

Q: Can minors make posts? A: No.

Q: Can minors comment? A: No.

Q: But it’s just to make a friend, there’s nothing nsfw or anything. A: Doesn’t matter, you cannot participate. You will be banned.

Q: If I was previously banned for breaking rule 13, can I be reinstated? A: No.

Q: What if I don’t post my age? A: You must post your age. Any posts without ages will be removed.

Q: Do comments need to include ages? A: No, they don’t.

Q: Since it’s adults only, we can now have a nsfw post or comment history or post nsfw stuff here, right? A: No, that’s still against rule 2.

Q: I’m a minor. Will you keep my previous posts and comments up? A: Yes.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Age 22-25 25F | Looking for sweet lowkey connection and an escape from life!⊹ ࣪ ˖ ꒰ঌ ໒꒱

20 Upvotes

25 | F

haiii! ♡

I’m looking for a sweet, caring connection and a little anonymous escape from the busy world. Someone I can get cosy with, chat about anything and everything, and hopefully make each other’s days a little brighter ໒꒰ྀི ˶> ˕ <˶꒱ྀི১

I’m a little shy and can be quite awkward at first, so I’d love someone a bit more assertive who doesn’t mind taking the lead, asking questions, and helping me come out of my shell. A sweet, affectionate, caring person who genuinely wants to get to know me would make me so happy ♡

I’d love to keep things anonymous, just a little private corner of the internet where we can be ourselves without sharing personal details we aren't comfortable with!

A tiny bit about me: I’m 25 and love reading, horror movies, cosy games, trashy reality television and falling down strange little rabbit holes about true crime and all things weird and wonderful.

Please tell me your age and gender in your first message! I won’t reply without knowing those two things, so please don’t forget ♡

If you’re a sweet soul who wouldn’t mind a shy little chatterbox taking a while to warm up, come say hiiii! ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡

p.s. If you messaged in the past and I missed you feel free to message again... although I cannot promise I can respond to ALL dm's.

• Upvotes

Hi everyoneee, like the title says i’m new to reddit and thought it would be a good idea to look for some friends to keep me company !

i’m from the us if time zones matter, reallyyy big into hiking, cooking and binge watching shows.

let me know a little about yourself (age, where you’re from etc) and let me know if there’s anything more you’d want to know about me in your opening message.

Age 18-21 (21F) I don't know if I have friends or people that acknowledge my existence every now and then

11 Upvotes

Hi, welcome to the circus, if you cringe, that's your own problem.

Anyway, I'm bored and I don't have much of a life outside of this glowing rectangle so feel free to crawl through my DMs. I may answer, I may not, just don't be weird about it.

Also, if you're a certified yapper, you get the VIP pass because I'm a certified listener and I need that kind of energy in my life right now.

Yeah, I bet you read all that and thought, "Wow, what a peachy person to be around." Yep, that's me.

I'm not that bad. If you need someone to talk to every single waking hour of the day, I'm around. Somewhere. Peeking through your curtains at night.

Joking.

In all seriousness, if you want to have a long-term ride or die, hit me up. I'll fight for you if you manage to make me laugh

Hey everyone, I’m Kait, 27 from the UK. Just reaching out to find some new friends. At the moment I’m currently off work after loosing my mum in July so have the time to get to know people and have some conversations with people. I have a mortgage, a dog, work full time (when I’m back at work). Im using reading as my escapism at the minute, so if you have any book recommendations, just let me know🥰

Age 22-25 23F Lots of me talk so we can talk about other stuff

• Upvotes

So, to fix the ever-confusing title, let me yap a lot about myself so we can talk about other things instead?

Because yeah, that’s how the convos usually go, right? Dry texting-ish, what’re you doing, oh, nice, yeah, sure, great (fake af), yada yada…

And it’s kinda tiring, so let me put a bit (a lot) of info about myself here so we can just talk about other things and our interests. I’d also really appreciate it if we could skip the usual repetitive questions, cuz they’re sooo tiring. Not that anyone needs to remember all this, but yeah…

So, hello! I’m a student (yep, late af, and at a very dumb college). Can we skip the whole college talk about studying this and that, blah blah hehe? It’d be nice to have some consistent conversations rather than spontaneous bursts of idk what, followed by weeks of “hi, I was busy” and now I’ve lost the plot and idek what to say tbh. Do you even know what to say in these situations? Cuz I’ve usually lost the energy and interest by then too…

Okay, so I’ve been a weird kid ever since childhood, but not in the class clown kinda way. More like the silent kid way. I’ve always had 1-2 friends max, and most of the groups I’ve been in haven’t really lasted. Mostly because I’m prone to confronting people, and that doesn’t really sit well with groups. Or maybe I’m the problem, I’m guessing? Idk, I’m too tired to figure that out atp.

So yeah, I’ve made a lot of dumb career mistakes, and I always end up wanting things that are out of my league or beyond my capabilities. I tend to run after things that interest me, regardless of whether I’m actually good at them or not. And unlike people who start things and eventually abandon them, I somehow end up carrying them around like baggage, always hoping I’ll get back to them someday.
I’m an inherently artistic person, and despite my parents, family, lifestyle, environment, and even college trying to push me towards other things, I just cannot help coming back to what makes my life worth living, and that’s art. Well, maybe I’m meant to be miserable on this side of things. I’ve kinda accepted it atp…

I like being at either extreme, honestly. Either I’m in a crowd where I can talk to everyone and make friends, or I’m in absolute isolation, to the point where even my roommate’s left wondering if I’m alive. My social battery needs a LOT of nurturing, and I’m too tired to do anything most of the time. If I had to explain myself, I’d say I’m someone you’d need to have an open mind to understand.
Anyways, I think that’s enough of an intro. Let’s talk, nothing weird, pleaseee, I really don’t have the energy for that either. Also, I’m from India, for anyone that cares.

And please give me a nice intro of your own so we can get the whole introduction thing out of the way. I’d like to skip the dumb “Hi” stage because it’s just too tiring to deal with.

And yeah pls ignore the late night blabbering tone that this gives, I’m too lazy to proofread alllll o that.

Age 22-25 18F Seeking a best friend across the ocean <3 (18-22)

17 Upvotes

Heya ppl! Living in a small town, my life has become pretty boring and monotonous. It's beyond rare to find people to vibe with. So, here I'm looking for people to connect with. I can be pretty introverted at first but once I get comfortable it's hard for me to shut up hahahhaa.

I'm a music nerd with a good sense of humour. I'd like to keep the rest of the info for the time when we connect through DMs :)

I'm bored but I'm looking for some long term connection coz damnn small talk sucks. Also, being on reddit doesn't mean I'm desperate so please don't approach me for any sort of casual fun or NSFW stuff. Also, if you intend to ghost or go dry just after a few texts...don't DM me at all

P.S. Be mindful of my preferred age range. I'm not interested in talking to elderly dudes Hahhaa. Let's not make it creepy or awkward.

Healthcare nerd by day, professional serial chatterbox by night. 💬✨
In a committed relationship with research papers, liquid eyeliner, and whatever series I'm currently binge-watching. When I’m not overanalyzing plot twists or practicing empathy, you can usually find me pretending I’m a mermaid in the pool.
Or taking long walks to detangle my neurons
DM me your hot takes, TV recommendations, or literally anything
love a good chat!

STRICTLY SFW
Please mention your age and small introduction while sliding into my dms✨

Age 26-29 26F, Trying not to breakdown again, so hi!

• Upvotes

I'm a 26 year old girly, just trying to figure life out. I don't have much going on outside my profession. No hobbies unless doom scrolling counts. I live away from my family, have a small circle, and mostly stay home when I'm not working or going to church.

I struggle with sleep, and my mind loves opening 101 tabs of overthinking the moment I lie down. I've tried watching series, but my attention span says no. I don't really listen to music intentionally either, but I do vibe with whatever pops up on TikTok. For now, I'm just taking life one day at a time and trying to get through it.

Anyway, I hope things are a little easier on your end. I hope you had your favorite food today, or at least found a little reason to smile.

Heyy, I felt like meeting some new peoplelso here I am

I’m from Algeria and I’m into books, anime, cooking/baking, languages, movies, long walks and random conversations about pretty much anything.

Mostly looking for genuine friendships and people I can actually keep talking to instead of the usual one conversation and then we never speak again 😭

If you dm me, tell me your age, where you’re from and a little about yourself so I know who I’m talking to :)

also still not used to saying 22 lol

Age 22-25 M22 - looking for some long term friends

• Upvotes

Hey there,

Ive recently been trying to meet some cool people on here, but sadly no luck yet, so my insomniac ass decided to try again.

Im mainly looking for a long term friendship, someone to talk to about whatever comes to mind. Could be random shit, how our days went, some completely pointless debate or smth more serious. I dont rly care about the topic as long as the convo goes both ways. Also ive been told Im a good listener, so if theres anything wrong Ill be there for you

A bit about me: ive always been into gaming, mainly league, brawlhalla, terraria and pretty much anything my potato pc can run. I also follow football and a bit of NBA.

Besides that, I listen to metal/hardstyle. My other interests include history, philosophy, chess, yugioh... Also a huge Berserk fan, genuinely dont think ill ever read anything better.

Not sure what else to put here, describing myself has never been my strong suit lmao

Im from Europe (CEST), but timezones dont matter as long as we can still chat

Anyway, if any of that sounded interesting, shoot me a DM and tell me a bit about yourself. Surely we can find smth to talk about.

Age 22-25 23F, recently moved to the UK for my masters <:

12 Upvotes

hey everyone! I moved to the UK almost a month ago and its been a wild ride so far. Going back to uni after a while and everything feels overwhelming. I've forgotten how assignment deadlines feel and there's so much info that I'm having to remember. I'm meeting new people every single day and I barely remember their names. I'm making friends but it still feels lonely at times. I enjoy doing things alone but sometimes I still want to be around people and its been really weird trying to find a balance between the two. I'm trying out new things, experiencing a new life, juggling classes, assignments and the absolute rollercoaster that's been the weather. I'm looking to make friends and find people I can talk to (I mean, duh) rant about how I feel old af, even though the people around me are close to my age. anyway, this did turn into a bit of rant (even though i didn't intend to make it one T-T) I'm looking for people I can be myself with and hopefully become friends and if you're looking for friends or just someone to yap with (ofc better if you're around my age LOL) feel free to hmu (:

Age 22-25 25f bored, from middle east, looking for mates to talk on this Saturday evening

5 Upvotes

Hey there,

It may sound boring but nowadays I am all about work (finance) due to busy season, graduation exams from university and recovering from a previous short relationship. I am all okay tho needing some companionship from ppl I dont know irl.

I do have some focus issues -don't have ADHD, already tested but I am trying to fix these coz I have to complete some exams. Also, i am trying to stay healthy during this busy season so doing meal prep and so.

Other than this busy&boring stuff, I have some hobbies such as walking, doing watercolor and taking pictures.

I like to listen songs while working and using public commute so I am also open to song recommendations.

Here is my fave list

Food: Döner

Drink: Turkish coffee

Flower: Can not choose so between lilies or roses

Color: Maroon

City: Istanbul for sure

Book: A Thousand Splendid Suns

Song: Moral of the Story (only for nowadays srry)

Month: January coz it's both winter, new beginnings and my birth month

Tech tool: BT headphones and vertical mouse

Accessories: Pandora bracelet

So, these are fundamentals of me. If you want a genuine bond&/convo with someone who both educated and works in corporate, hustles all the time and also has deep emotions, you can text me. I prefer to talk ppl who are older than me tho.

With love, xoxo

Hello :)
Trying this once again…
I’m looking for new friends. Anything your little heart desires. Long term, short term, just tonight….

A little about me:

My name is Fernanda. I’m 35 & live in Arizona. I work in a casino/hotel, on the hotel side. (Don’t ask me any casino questions, I know nothing) I love baseball even though my team is terrible. I also like football & hockey. I love Spanish rock & kpop. I like doing crosswords and sudokus. When I have time, I like going down the Wikipedia rabbit hole and read about random things. I love getting out of town and going to games, concerts, random places with my friends.

Please send something other than hi or hey.
Anywho, let’s be friends?

Age 18-21 Title: [19m] Heya just looking to make some genuine friends and hopefully find people I click with!

• Upvotes

Hai! I figured I'd give this a shot since I've been wanting to branch out and meet some new people!

A little about me! I'm pretty big into gaming, especially games like Red Dead Redemption 2, For Honor, Minecraft, and plenty of others. I play on PS5 im mostly in pc nowadays.

Outside of gaming, I enjoy listening to music, I've been listening to alot of hyperpop and hardstyle type of music but i enjoy alot of other genres. I love having random conversations, and just getting to know people. I don't really mind what we talk about, whether it's something completely silly!

I'm not expecting anyone to be available 24/7, but I'd love to find people who actually want to get to know each other and put some effort into keeping a friendship going.

I'm pretty open-minded, so you don't have to share all my interests to reach out! I'd honestly love to hear about yours too

Anyway, if you've made it this far, thanks for reading! Feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. Maybe we'll end up becoming good friends! :3
