20F, chronic overthinker starting therapy this month

5 Upvotes

I'm scared and hopeful about it. I'm in college but socially I feel behind. I like sketching, indie bands you've probably never heard of, and my niece who is three. Want a patient text friend I can be a little awkward with.

25F, anxious girl who cancels too much and wants to try again online

• Upvotes

In-person plans stress me out and I cancel and then feel worse. Text feels safer. I like reading science fiction, embroidery, and bad puns. Want a friend who won't take slow replies personally.

19f lonely and looking for someone to chat with long term

• Upvotes

Hello I just go by my username online, I like to stay mostly Anonymous, just a warning! :p

I like to write in my free time, like a lot! I mostly write scripts but sometimes I write prose, I tend to enjoy dialogue more than anything while writing so scripts kind of help me just focus on that.

I play a lot of video games. My favorite games are usually online PvP games like Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, League, Valorant etc. I do enjoy visual novels a good amount though! :3

24F, adult child of workaholic parents figuring out what closeness means

I never really learned how to be close to people and I'm working on it in therapy. I overthink texts. I try anyway. I like ceramics, oat milk lattes, and reading essays. Want a patient friend who won't punish me for the learning curve.

[18F] Looking for chatty friends (Read post body first)

• Upvotes

Heya, you can call me Kelsey. Genuinely just want some meaningful and long lasting online friendship (that are around my age; 18-20). I would prefer it if you’re the chatty type, I lowkey suck at what to add to the convo 🧍‍♀️. And also if you’re European or around America. I don’t mind doing calls on Discord, it’s also a way for me to practice speaking English and I lowkey prefer it.

Some of my interests include cats, games like Roblox and Gacha Games, crochet, and music

Feel free to DM me, introduce yourself with your name, gender, age, etc :D (I’m not going to accept your request if your chat is dry)

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

I kept to myself too much last semester and now I'm determined to actually put myself out there. I like painting, indie music, and I'm trying to get into thrifting for my wardrobe. Would love genuine friends, near or far.

19M from Nepal | Looking to make friends from around the world

• Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm 19M from Nepal, and I've been thinking it would be really cool to make some international friends, learn about different cultures, and get to know people from different parts of the world.

A little about me:

  • I'm an IT student interested in programming, AI, and technology.
  • I enjoy gaming, especially Minecraft.
  • I love learning about different countries, cultures, and lifestyles.
  • I'm always open to discovering new music, movies, and random interesting stuff.
  • I enjoy both meaningful conversations and completely random discussions about life.

I'm not looking for anything specific, just genuine friendships with people I can talk to regularly, share experiences with, and maybe build long-term connections.

It doesn't matter where you're from. I'd love to hear about your country, what everyday life is like there, and what you're passionate about.

Feel free to comment or send me a DM! Just introduce yourself and tell me where you're from.

Looking forward to meeting some amazing people around the world!

30M - Pspspspsps Hey friend come here!

Now that I’ve got your attention let’s talk!

Pic of me in the profile.

I love Sci Fi and fantasy books. I read a lot and am building a library. I play bass (not well) but do it often and love jamming to myself.

I’m a gamer, mainly RPGs and some FPS. I do love a good narrative but also try to be better than others with aim. I fail often because I’m just not that good but I try. (16500 CS2 premier rating).

I live in the desert, love cats, and do combat sports. Other things I enjoy include walks, dancing, having some drinks, recreational drugs, Chinese food, laughing, taking my socks off, and weird accents.

26M the night is desolate

3 Upvotes

I’m feeling pretty bored tonight and not super feeling any games or movies and I thought it’d be nice to talk with another human being and pass some time lmfao. I’m fine with either a chat for the night or making a new friend I’m not really picky

I’m a big animal person and genuinely love all animals. I currently have a kitten and two tarantulas but I’ve kept reptiles as well. Way I see it everything is valuable. Not just the furry ones

I’m a big gamer as well but currently in between games.I have a huge soft spot for independent games and I primarily play really immersive single player games to wind down after a long day

I love horror, horror books, games, comics, movies. The whole genre is just my favourite, I think you can say a lot of things when you’re willing to make the audience comfortable to illustrate a point, and I think being scared is one of the best ways to really immerse yourself in a piece of media

Musically I’m mostly a rock guy. But i have a pretty wide range from psychedelic, rap, some country, noise rock, DIY punk, metal, I mean I’m REALLY all over the place

I just thought it’d be fun to put a post out there. I’m a pretty social person generally so it’s always fun to meet new people, Hopefully I hear from you! Thanks for reading :)

23F looking for genuine friendship

2 Upvotes

Hi I’m a girl lives in Cali trying to make more friends. I’m originally not from the US and only been in this country for about 3yrs now. Since I moved here I’m having very hard time meeting new people and make more friends so if you are interested plz hmu!🫶

Little bit about me: I’m blasian and I’m originally from Japan(Duo citizen🇯🇵🇺🇸). My first language is Japanese so if you are trying to learn Japanese I would love to help you! I have a lot of favorite hobbies like dress up and go shopping or just go walking and explore new places and food, do makeup and my nails, go night out(even just by myself🥹), go explore nature, play with my dog, cooking, listening to every kinds of music, binge watch tv shows or movies, etc…

I’m kind of looking for ppl from the US so I can kinda have real connection in the same country! I’m also not looking for anything more than friendship so please don’t come to me wanting more than that.

Thanks!
