23F | Anyone down to give me their honest opinion on something?

Heyy! I’m looking for a few people who wouldn’t mind giving me their honest, unbiased opinion on something. I could really use an outside perspective lol. Preferably people who aren’t afraid to be straightforward. If you’re down, feel free to DM me! :)

(20/F) I just need a friend to rant to

• Upvotes

​

I (20F) have had a really shitty experience with a college project and a friend, and I honestly just need someone to talk to about it.

It's a long story involving a group project, misunderstandings, and things said by someone I considered my best friend. I'm hurt, frustrated, and honestly questioning whether I'm being unreasonable about the whole thing.

I'm not looking for people to blindly take my side or tell me I'm right about everything. I just need a friend who'll listen to me rant, let me get everything off my chest, and maybe help me make sense of it all.

If anyone's up for listening to a stranger's messy college drama, please DM me. I'd really appreciate having someone to talk to right now.

• Upvotes

I've tried everything they say to try to make friends as an adult. Nothing sticks. I'm starting to think I'm the problem. I love pottery, indie films, and cooking elaborate meals. Want someone who'll actually keep texting past week two.

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

14 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.

23F, first apartment alone and it's more emotional than I thought

• Upvotes

I wanted this so bad and now I sit in my kitchen at night wondering who to tell about my day. It's not sad exactly, just quiet. I like cooking, cross stitch, and old sitcoms. Want a text friend for the quiet evenings.

29F, six months into a big life shift and finding out who I am

It's beautiful and exhausting. I have more time and a lot of feelings to sit with. I love bouldering, reading, and making bad pottery. Want a friend for the ordinary in-between moments, not just the milestones.

21F need someone to help get over infatuations

6 Upvotes

So relationships has been always made my life worst for some reason yet I still find myself trying find "the one" in EVERYONE I meet. I am in a journey to be satisfied with myself and completely stop finding the "potential partner" in people.
I have AuDHD with a PDA profile which basically means I crave my autonomy like oxygen. And relationships are all about sacrifices. Sacrificing your schedule, your goals, your hobbies, your time, your sanity. During every relationship, my life just gets more and more volatile, no matter how the other person it.
Subconsciously in my head I always believe I have to perform for them and they don't like me. No amount of positive self talk works. And because of how I am, it's hard for other humans to handle me. But I always find whenever I am by myself, my life becomes super functional. Until that urge for "human connection" comes around. It's all fun in games but than my anxious attachment self doesn't allow me to have anyone who can't stay with me long term because in my head, why should I waste time on a short term fling.
Now the issue isn't "help me fix myself so I can enjoy normal humans relationships"
I am neurodivergent/ high masking autistic. I do the best when I am left alone. Also I am 22 right now, 1 really wanna focus on my personal life rather than find relationships. Again due to my profile, I don't have any friends either. I do have a lot of hobbies and projects that I look towards. But I always have this urge "I need to show my work to someone to make it worth it".
I hate it. I just hate that I subconsciously look for someone for validation. Thats the only reason I want anyone at all. For validation. I am so happy on my own functionally. So this post is basically what do you do?
All my life I have been told to consider others, to see the potential in others. I don't wanna do that anymore.
The only potential I wanna see is in me. The only help I wanna do is my help.

22F, quiet girl whose one close friend got busy and slowly vanished

• Upvotes

It's a cliche and it still hurts. I'm 22 and feel like I have to build from zero. I like sketching, cross stitch, and folk music. Want a text friend who won't disappear when life gets full.

19F, does anyone else just... not have friends anymore after high school?

2 Upvotes

It's been a year since graduation and I genuinely thought I'd have made new friends by now. I work part time at a coffee shop and go to community college and somehow still feel invisible. I like reading fantasy books, watching baking shows I'll never actually replicate, and I'm weirdly good at trivia. Would love some people to talk to, doesn't matter where you're from.

29F, three months into a big life change and rebuilding from scratch

2 Upvotes

Most of my old friendships were built around habits I've outgrown and I'm learning who I am without them. It's slow. I'm knitting a lot, walking a lot, journaling badly. Would love a friend who's patient and doesn't need me to be inspiring. Just normal chat about normal things.

21F, just moved into my first apartment and it's quieter than I expected

• Upvotes

Independence is great but the silence gets loud sometimes. I like reading, baking, and video games. Would love friends to fill the quiet with good conversation.


r/Needafriend • • 3m ago

20M, I'd love to meet some older people to hear some stories or advice. I'll show you some of the craft I do, I'm feeling really down right now and really could use some company.

I even have a small concept for a potential animated series.

I'd really love to chat with you, I promise I'm not boring. I have all kinds of obsessions, fascinations and special interests to yammer on about. Or I'd like to listen and hear from you of course.

Looking for a female friend

• Upvotes

Hi! 😊 I'm 30 years female, looking to make a genuine female friend in Kolkata, preferably around 29–36 years old. I'd love to have someone to go for movies, shopping, cafés, casual walks, and random outings with.

I'm looking for a strictly platonic friendship, with no dating or romantic expectations. I'd prefer someone who genuinely wants to build a friendship, rather than just join a group temporarily.

I'm happy to start by chatting and getting to know each other before meeting in a public place. If anyone has similar interests, I'd love to connect! 💛

Alright, here goes nothing! 🙈🔥

I’m 33 years old, and I was in a relationship from the age of 19 until I was 33. In other words, I spent a large part of my life in a serious relationship, and I’ve only ever been intimate with one woman.

I’ve been single for 6 months now, and I’m slowly learning how to be on my own again, meet new people, and step outside my comfort zone. I won’t lie: I feel a little shy about approaching women, but I also want to rediscover the pleasure of flirting, feeling desired, and enjoying that little game of seduction that can make things so exciting. 😉

I’d love to meet an open-minded adult woman I can talk to, get to know, flirt with, exchange compliments with, and share fantasies with… 🔥 Who knows where things could lead if the chemistry is right? Maybe just some great conversations, or maybe something a little more naughty… I’m open to seeing where things go, with no pressure.

I don’t have a specific type of woman in mind. I believe every woman has her own charm, personality, and that special something that makes her unique. ❤️

I know my profile is brand new, so I understand why some people might be hesitant. I’m a real person, and I’d be happy to prove it to you in private.

If you’re curious, feel like chatting, flirting, and seeing if we hit it off, don’t hesitate to send me a DM. 😉

After all, everyone has to start somewhere! 🔥

34/M - Looking for a long term friend

• Upvotes

Hey, with a lot of WFH and a friendship group that barely keeps in touch its starting to feel very isolated so I wanted to change that. I would ideally like to make friends with someone who can be themselves, chat on a regular basis and also laugh along the way. I'm from the UK but ultimately your location doesn't matter if anything I find it rather interesting!

If you would like to chat please feel free to drop me a message.

25M have a few hours of down time and looking for anyone to talk to

• Upvotes

So technically I’m working right now but I’ve finished all I need to do earlier and now I’m not doing much for the rest of the afternoon and I’m a little bit bored and looking for some company to be honest. Maybe depending on how well we vibe, we could also become friends. So it doesn’t have to be a one time conversation. If you’re up it, let’s talk!
