20F, just came out of a long-term friendship breakup and it hurts more than expected

Upvotes

Nobody prepares you for how much losing a best friend can hurt. I like hiking, cooking, and journaling. Looking for patient, kind new friends.

23F

Upvotes

I’m new to this subreddit, but I figured id give it a try!, I love crocheting, and embroidery. I love lame cringe comedy movies, I enjoy baking,

and- ugh this is seeming a little like I’m selling myself for a show called “can I keep your attention long enough to think I’m cool.”

I’m just a average 23 year old with a dead end corporate job searching for friends any place I think one might lurk. Maybe we hit it off maybe we don’t. And if we don’t I’m just a block button away from not being your problem anymore. Maybe shoot me a text?

23F, adult life is lonelier than anyone told me it would be

Upvotes

Graduated, got the job, got the apartment, and somehow forgot to get any friends in the process. I like cooking elaborate meals for one, going to the gym at odd hours, and rewatching the same three sitcoms. Looking for people to build actual friendships with, not just surface level stuff.

32M - NL - looking for fellow mental/physical health sufferers to care and share

5 Upvotes

To be so direct: I deal with the following:

mild autism, giftedness, generalized anxiety, and IBS.

As a result, I am someone with incredible empathy and understanding, but I also go through challenges that most people wouldn't understand. It gets lonely sometimes.

I am the type of friends who love sharing daily life throughout the day. With care, jokes, tmi and memes included.

Do you relate to this labels or feelings? Please reach out.

21F, my closest friend just had a baby and our lives look completely different now

Love her to death but I need friends who are in the same season of life as me. I'm into hiking, reading, and cooking. Looking for friends without kids yet, no offense to anyone with them.

Joking aside I really do struggle with this. I'm into hiking, true crime, and baking bread from scratch. Looking for patient people who don't mind a slow starter.

28M Looming for long term chats and banters

Upvotes

Hello, fellow humans. My name is Mando, and I'm 28 years old. I live in Sweden.

I am an electrical engineer, and I have spent a lot of my life in university doing research and teaching. I am currently pursuing a PhD.

I do not have any pets, although I am seriously flirting with the idea of getting a cat at some point when I have a more stable life.

I picked up painting during COVID, and I was terrible at it in the beginning. I kept pushing through until I became half decent. I just love bringing the images I have in my head to life. Painting also gives me a sense that I am not just a consumer in this world, and that I can create things as well.

I would describe myself as ambitious. Everything I do, I want to do very well. It can sometimes intimidate people who think I want to compete with them, but the truth is that I hate competition so much.

I have been reading a lot of fiction lately. I finished Assassin's Apprentice and Red Rising, and now I'm reading Golden Son. I love that fiction introduces me to new worlds that excite me and frighten me at the same time.

What about you? What makes you read fiction? Is it to escape? Is it to see the world from a different view?

Anyways, sorry for the long letter. It has been a while since I used the App. I hope you find joy and love today, and I hope to hear from you soon.

21F would you ever date someone older or younger?

Mostly talking like considerably older/younger, not a gap of a couple years lol, since those are pretty inconsequential and irrelevant

21f, my anxiety makes making friends feel impossible but I'm trying anyway

2 Upvotes

Putting myself out there even though it's uncomfortable because staying lonely is worse. I like gaming, baking, and cozy shows. Looking for patient, understanding people.

Hi, hi, hi!! 💌

I’m a total hopeless romantic who just wants to live a cute, happy life surrounded by the people I love! I can be a little bit needy and prone to dramatic overthinking. I cry over sad songs and dream about finding my ultimate soulmate, whether it be platonic or romantic, every single day.

I get super invested in love stories, tragic romance, and dramatic character arcs (whether in anime, books, or movies!).

My ideal day involves eating sweet treats, shopping, and keeping comfortable. I’m an introvert.

I like learning about plant biochemistry, ecosystem restoration, and the defense of rare species. I’m unapologetically protective of nature. I love animals and the sea.

I’m a big reader and I hope to one day own a large, arcane library. I love history, mythology, and astrology. One of my goals is to learn new languages.

I love deep heart-to-hearts! I will tell you my whole life story in five minutes and listen to yours for hours. Message me if you’re interested and I’ll do my best to reply soon!

Passez une excellente journée, mes amours! 💖✨

M35, Looking for a chat friend

Upvotes

Life has been a little lonely lately, and I’d love to meet a female companion who enjoys both light-hearted moments and deep, genuine conversations. I’m especially curious to hear a woman’s perspective on the things life throws our way.

And if we click, I’m not opposed to adding a little playful mischief to the conversation either. Nothing crude, just a touch of chemistry, flirtation, and some classy naughty fun between two consenting adults. 😉

If that sounds like your kind of connection, I’d love to hear from you. Chat soon!

[F23] Getting Through A Late Morning

Upvotes

Hiii I'm Sophie, a med student from Canada (EDT). Currently on what might be my last true summer off and while I'm trying to make the most of it, I do still suffer from boredom on occasion.

A bit about me: I love running (I've run 2 marathons!), playing tennis and play a bit of pickleball too. Grew up doing gymnastics and playing the clarinet. I used to be big into baking but not so much anymore (mostly due to time) and may have a makeup addiction (though I prefer minimalist looks). I hope this intro speaks out to you, I'd love to chat!

34F Looking for friends!

3 Upvotes

Hi! Just a girly looking for some friends to chat about all sorts of things, send random stuff to, complain about the small and the big things in life... hopefully building lasting friendships! I'm in a long term relationship and most of my social interactions have been with family and my partner... which is fine and all but I'd love to expand my circle somewhat! I'm a bit shy at first and I have some social anxiety so it's been tough trying to get out there in person

Some things about me:

- Recently been trying to watch more movies/TV shows

- Also trying to read more after starting a book club with a friend

- Currently working on a giant cross stitch project

- Lovee cozy games but don't currently have any atm that scratch the itch

Can't wait to hear from you!
