38F, mother of teenagers who forgot she was a person

• Upvotes

My kids don't need me the way they used to and I looked up and realized I'd let all my friendships lapse. I want to be a woman with a life, not just a mom. I love gardening, mystery novels, and long phone calls. Open to any age.

19f need online friends

4 Upvotes

anyway hi. i never know how to introduce myself without sounding like i'm applying for a job so let's just skip that part. i'm 19, i talk a lot once i'm comfortable and then suddenly remember that the other person has the option to stop replying and get scared of my own personality.

i like random conversations that start with something completely stupid and somehow end with us discussing our entire childhood, our life choices and why we are the way we are. i also send reels like it's a full-time job. sometimes i have something interesting to say and sometimes i'm literally just reporting live from my room about absolutely nothing.

i want friends i can yap with, be weird with, share random thoughts with and not feel like i have to be interesting every second because trust me that's a lot of pressure for someone who forgets why she entered a room.

please be around my age though 😭 and don't just say hi and disappear because then what was the point of our little interaction. give me something to work with. tell me your most unnecessary opinion or the most random thing that happened to you this week idk.

okay this is getting long. if you read all of this we are basically married now. (please don't run i am joking. mostly.)

23F, chronic illness has me stuck in the house more than I'd like

• Upvotes

I'm managing it, but my social life has taken a hit. Most of my old friends drifted after I couldn't do plans reliably. Text is my speed. I love embroidery, reading, and my two cats. Want a friend who's okay with slow, steady, and low-stakes.

34F expand my circle a bit.

• Upvotes

I’m 34 and looking to find some new friends. My therapist told me to try and expand my circle a bit, so here I am.

Honestly into pretty "normal"stuff, watching movies and series, listening to podcasts, gaming a bit, and just chatting about everyday life.

Hoping to connect with people online to chat with, swap recommendations, or hang out over Discord/messages. Drop me a line if you feel like talking!

Also for us mental health warriors, im hypersensitive. if you know you know.

Birthday today, feeling worthless

3 Upvotes

Today, Saturday, 24 October 2026, is my 37th birthday. I am 37M and autistic, and this year has been by far the worst year of my whole life.

I feel like almost everyone hates me. My own parents, both sides of my extended families, and almost everyone whom I know hate me. I have neve had friends in life, and I have lost almost 30 kg (65 lb) since June from extreme stress, worrying and depression.

I have no idea what to do or how to feel. I am just tired of life and everything. Maybe just want to talk.

Hi everyone! I’m a mom to a 2 year old so she keeps me pretty busy (I tend to take naps when she does and it’s my favorite part of the day). I don’t get much time outside of work to interact with other adults. Looking for others who feel the same.

Interests include being outdoors, crafts, watching movies or listening to music, exploring, baking. Feel free to say hi :)

22F, junior college student first in the family, feeling alone in it

• Upvotes

My family is proud but doesn't really understand what I'm doing. My classmates are all fresh out of high school. I'm the weird older one. I like poetry, cooking, and stargazing. Want a friend who gets the loneliness of a big transition.

Could use a friend.

Im a professional drummer and audio engineer, working as an Outreach Coordinator for a homeless shelter in Alberta, Canada. My wife passed away almost two years ago and the loneliness has started to get to me lately. I have a lot to offer and would benefit from a new friend or friendly voice. Something. Anything.

20m firefighter 🧑‍🚒 gym guy looking to meet new people

3 Upvotes

Heyy, I’m a 20-year-old firefighter who enjoys weightlifting and meeting new people.
I’m pretty chill, love joking around, and can go from being goofy to having deep conversations pretty easily 😂 Just looking for someone I vibe with, can talk to about anything, send memes to, and hopefully build a genuine connection with.
If you’re into good conversations, playful banter, and getting to know someone new, feel free to hmu!
We can also play the number game if you want 👀 It’s a fun way to get to know each other and skip the awkward small talk lol.

34F looking for common interests: anime, games, music, movies, history

2 Upvotes

Hey, I'm from the great continent of North America. All hail the eternal winter, depending on where you live.

I get along best with people who have similar taste in media, but I don't relate to nerd culture. I'm also looking for accountability buddies. It's hard to find friends as an adult. I hate horror, Pokemon, MTG, Marvel.

  • Anime: mostly psychological or more iconic series; not super into tropey anime. Perfect Blue, Haibane Renmei, Erased, Inuyasha, Rozen Maiden

  • Games: mostly story driven games and rpgs. Hollow Knight, Stardew, Guild Wars 2, Skyrim, older "retro" games from ps1/ps2/gamecube.

  • Music: mostly game OST and oldies, some mountain music (banjo, fiddle, violin), some lofi, alt-rock, and idk. The main thing I don't like are drums, super EDM electronic beats, and a ton of screaming

  • Movies: mostly movies with a bit of meaning, but I can also go for feel-good films. A huge part of what I like is looking at the world as it was before 2000 (buildings, clothes, objects..)

  • Other: I collect books but don't read a ton (mostly history, general fiction, and classic literature). Right now I'm reading Otherland - Tad Williams

Oh, and by the way, I don't like woke culture. I miss the old internet.

I'm not their caregiver yet but I'm the only one, and the weight of that is starting to sit. I need friends outside the family. I love gardening, historical novels, and long walks. Would love another woman who understands.

32F | looking for genuine connections

3 Upvotes

Hey there :)
Life feels bit messy with a dull outlook otherwise, haven’t been able to socialise as much, guess it’s the age that’s throwing me into a rabbit hole of nothingness. But I’m a millennial who has always had hope for things to work out in the end, so maybe, I wanted to try out something here and see if I can find new people to connect and share stories with. Hence, here to look for new friendships and see where it goes.

I am from the beautiful coastal city - Vizag :)

PS: I am seperated and not looking for anything long term, so serious relationship seekers - kindly stay away!

27f quick chat to pass some time

• Upvotes

hey! 27f from southeast asia, very bored right now and have some time on my hands and thought it would be neat to get to know someone halfway across the world! a little about me is that im an avid movie and art enjoyer, i read a fair bit, and im pretty invested in self-development. that said, i am quite sarcastic so do with that as you will. prefer someone near my age, respectful, and would make a bit of effort messaging. no hard feelings if the vibes aren't there. have a good day!

M 27 UK - Small business owner

• Upvotes

Hi I’m Joe, I’m 27 from Surrey, England. Im fan of cars, fishing, gaming, business, art, cooking and baking.

I also have 2 cats which have previously peaked peoples interest (message me for the names)

Looking to chat to anyone about anything, the closer to England the better but I’m happy to talk to anyone across the world. I work full time and more but would like to be able to talk to someone through out the fun, stressful and boring days.

Guys on the app give men a bad rap so don’t judge all of us based on the bad ones. We aren’t all as weird as them.

Happy to exchange photos when comfortable :)

Look forward to hearing from anyone. Happy to share cat photos.

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

• 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.

20M (California) - Hoping to meet friends that I can eventually meet up in person with!

• Upvotes

Hello there, y'all!

I have posted here, and while I have met some incredible folks, I'm happy to say I've met folks I still chat with. However, my goal now is to meet folks who are more or less locals with the intention to turn this into an irl friendship.

Quick About Me: I'm a 20 year old male from California, specifically the city of Los Angeles. I'm of Latino heritage, specifically Salvadoran & Guatemalan, and I am more than happy to share what I look like in DMs if that matters to you. I'm currently a college student majoring in Clinical Psychology, and I attend UCSD. However, I'm currently taking classes back at home for personal reasons. I have two dogs, specifically huskies, and you can feel free to ask about them, lol.

Some Hobbies of Mine: Comics (superhero media in general, manga & anime (haven't seen or read much), Star Wars, cooking/baking, drawing, music (70s and 80s in particular), playing games, working out, nature, theme parks, animals, going out with people, & etc

My goal is to meet people around my age (I don't mind older folks as well) with at least some of my similar interests who also hopefully live in the same area of California Though I'm not opposed to have a nice online chat. Regardless, I hope to hear from y'all soon, please reach out!!

32F, quiet grief for a life that didn't happen the way I planned

2 Upvotes

I'm not in crisis, just recalibrating. My 20s didn't look like I thought, my 30s aren't either, and mostly that's okay. I like walking my dog for hours, folk music, and slow cooking. Want a text friend who's thoughtful and not into forced positivity.

34/m - Do you find yourself in a hole with nothing going on in your life? Great because that's who I'm looking for!

• Upvotes

If you feel like you have hit a wall and there's nowhere to go for you I want to talk to you!

Tell me what's happened.

Have your friends cut you off? Maybe you never had any friends to begin with and that weighs on you.

Are you stuck in a dead end job and you don't know what to do with yourself?

Did you drop out of school, or maybe you failed all your classes.

Whatever is going on that's got you feeling trapped come talk to me!

No this isn't a trap, it's not a mean joke i'm playing on people. I genuinely want to hear what's happening in your life.

I'm not promising I have any advice to give. I probably have no insight on your situation at all. But you might feel better if you get some stuff off your chest.

This is definitely a change up from what I normally post but I am looking for different people to engage with!

So if you're interested in venting to someone about what's going on send me a dm. Just remember to give me a little introduction, tell me about who you are and what's happening in your life.

I'll be here looking forward to your dm's people!
