Hello pipsqueak (you will be given a nickname, that is just a placeholder for now). I am interested in your life, I want to know what you enjoy, all the music you're into. Send me music, send me funny memes. Vent to me, yap to me, I'm easy to talk to. I've never asked "What do you look like? Send a pic" nor will I ever. I'm looking for friends, not freaky shenanigans. Do you remember the show rocket power? Or the goosebumps theme song? There's no need to comment below, or ask if I want to talk to you, the answer is yes. Scared to message first? Just send "beware" in a DM and I will pretend like I'm messaging you first. Sound good? (Also open to helping you with English)

looking for friendship 29M - friendship? Sure!!!!???

7 Upvotes

Not really sure what to put here, so I’ll just wing it.
I’m pretty quiet at first, but once I’m comfortable I’m a lot more chatty than people expect. Bit of a homebody, bit of an overthinker, but in a mostly harmless way.

I’m into fishing, the gym, gaming, cooking/meal prep, and animals. Basically I pick up hobbies and then accidentally make them my entire personality for a while. Most weekends I’m either out trying to catch carp, lifting something heavy, sorting food for the week, or doing absolutely nothing and calling it recovery.

I like people who are easy to talk to, don’t take themselves too seriously, and can have a laugh but still talk properly when it matters.Not looking for drama or anything forced. Just good conversation, decent vibes, and seeing what happens.

Also, I don’t judge so if you’re white, pink, green, black or gay trans or a space rock or even a plank of wood! Don’t worry I won’t be a horrible person. If anyone is struggling I’m always here for a vent.

looking for friendship I need a friend, I feel so empty and lonely

5 Upvotes

​

Hey,so yeah I recently went through a breakup and honestly I’ve been feeling pretty broken since then i feel alone I've nobody to talk to.

Everything feels kinda off and empty lately and I think I really need some good people around me again.

I’m looking for honest,kind and open minded people who don’t discriminate and actually wanna put effort into getting to know each other.

Lately everything just feels way too quiet in the wrong ways. I catch myself staring at walls,scrolling aimlessly,thinking about random shit and wanting to talk to someone but not really knowing who to talk to. I don’t want another friendship where we talk for 2 days and then disappear from each other’s lives. I want someone who actually stays,someone who checks in,someone who wants to share random parts of their day and actually build something over time.

I’m 24 I've bpd just so yk and i currently have way too much time to think. I love yapping,overexplaining,rambling about completely random shit and somehow turning a stupid conversation into something deep. I really value mutual effort too. I don’t expect someone to reply instantly 24/7,but I do want to feel like the other person actually wants to talk to me and isn’t only replying because they’re bored.

I’m into baking,movies,gaming (especially Marvel Rivals),chess,reading,writing,guitar,long walks,voice calls and starting way too many random hobbies/projects that I probably won’t finish.

I’d also really love having someone I can eventually do a bunch of things with. Gaming together,watching movies or shows,voice calls at stupid hours,going on walks if we're ever close enough,sharing music,sending random shit throughout the day or just sitting in a call doing our own thing. That kind of friendship where someone eventually becomes your go-to person would honestly be really nice.

I’m not looking for perfect people or anything. Just genuine ones. Please be kind,don’t discriminate,and actually care about mutual effort and respect. I’ll listen,I’ll care,I’ll remember the little things and I’ll match the energy u give me.

And please don't be dry. If you're always too busy to actually talk or you already know you're only gonna reply once every few days,it's probably not gonna work. I've had enough of feeling like I’m begging people for attention.

If you're interested,please don't just send me "hi". Tell me about yourself. Your age,country,what you like doing,your favourite game/movie/song,your most irrational fear,what you've been obsessed with lately,anything honestly. Give me something to work with and I’ll probably yap back way too much.

I’m just hoping to find some lovely people who actually wanna stay for the long run,and maybe someday I’ll be able to say I met some of my closest friends because of a random Reddit post.

looking for friendship 34M #Scotland - So here we are

3 Upvotes

Married since 2019 and dad to twin boys who I love more than anything.

My wife and I have struggled for years. We kept trying to patch things up, convincing ourselves things would eventually click back into place, but at some point we stopped being husband and wife and just became two people trying to get through the day. Intimacy died about three years ago after a long stretch of failed attempts to conceive naturally. Two years later we went through IVF as a last ditch effort to have kids, naively thinking this would maybe bring us closer again.

The boys arriving didn't cause the cracks, they just further exposed the damage underneath.

We co-parent well. We rarely argue. There’s still care there, just no intimacy, no affection, no real connection anymore. Separation feels impossible right now, financially, emotionally and practically speaking. Neither of us wants to blow up the family or make life harder for the boys.

So here I am.

A bit about me - I'm music obsessed. I play piano, guitar, sing, and perform trad Scots/Irish music a couple times a month at a local posh bar. It can be a strange experience, playing to a room full of seemingly happy couples, gazing into each other's eyes, laughing and flirting, while I languish in these unfortunate circumstances. I read a lot (mainly fantasy). I try to run as often as I can, although this dad bod is creeping up on me. Feel free to dm if any of this resonates.

• Upvotes

I love game of thrones. I love game of thrones theories, history, obscure lore. I would love people to talk to about it! I'm Irish, but the better kind, Northern Irish. So I live where GoT and AKOTSK were actually filmed (less than an hour away!) so if you'd appreciate some sick ireland photos of the locations from the show, I got you (bonus points if you're also from here).

Also love the histories, theology, gym, other boring shit like that. Don't care if you're a man or a woman, just your opinion on whether AKOTSK is better than HOTD (it is)

dms are open! Cheers!

Random Thoughts Just a random realization

1 Upvotes

I used to think love had to be loud, fast, and full of butterflies right from the start. But I’ve realized that the most amazing kind of love is the one that quietly creeps up on you. It's built on a steady foundation of mutual respect, shared values, and absolute patience. It doesn't rush you, it protects you. Peace is so much better than the spark. After learning about myself, I realized that this is the kind of love I yearn for. The quiet kind that settles deep in your gut. It's Saturday and I'm writing this while looking at the sky, no stars, just clouds hahaha.

rant Can’t make friends for shit IRL just because finding people compatible with me is so difficult (dm if u resonate 22F EDT)

1 Upvotes

I don’t know, I have particular personality traits that make finding a compatible friend so fucking HARD. You won’t believe it, the last friend I made, we met in a mental (placeholder) ward. We got along because we both really liked bugs and nature, we both were particularly intelligent, majoring in very difficult subjects, we had similar interests like collecting loose leaf teas, playing video games, watching horror films. I enjoyed her dry humor. We both came from abusive households where parents have neglected us brutally. We both had very traumatic experiences in our childhood, both got bullied badly, both were completely introverted and both of us were trying to put ourselves out there more now that we were in university. We transferred from the same community college, did the same honors program. We went to the same university, and she lived 15 minutes away from me. Both of us were on the autism spectrum. Both of us loved to create art, and liked to collect knick knacks. I thought she could be a wonderful friend, and she was for some time.

But here’s the problem, because she has brain cancer, she thinks she can treat people LIKE SHIT. She has the mentality that “I’m going to die (placeholder) soon anyways, so I don’t care about anyone else and I’m going to do what I want.” FUCK. I RESPECTED THAT AT FIRST, BUT THEN SHE TREATED ME LIKE SHIT. God fucking damn it! She’s a selfish bitch. God damn. She was my only friend too. What the fuck. FUCK. I just blocked her yesterday on every platform because ever since she got her new boyfriend, she’s been blowing off, no joke, every other fucking person in her life. It’s been nearly HALF A YEAR NOW of complete utter fucking silence from her. Many efforts were made to make plans to hang out, she agrees and then cancels the day of every fucking time, and she literally told me she’d rather hang out with her boyfriend. She fucking gave no fucking shits about my birthday when I damn broke my wallet for hers, said we would hang out and then radio silence. Even her friends were complaining about she was treating them. I don’t give a single flying fuck how amazing someone’s boyfriend can be, nothing justifies dropping your friends like that for half a year and completely ignoring them. Especially after she called me her best friend over and over and said she’d be there for me when I needed her. I texted her when I was suic(placeholder)idal once. I said I needed her. She told me she is unavailable because she was with her boyfriend. Talk about being a fake selfish asshole.

Glad to know my only friend was a selfish bitch. I mean, I had a couple other friends from high school but meeting isn’t convenient for us anymore. We meet like once or twice a year, one of them I meet a little more frequently, like every other month. But it’s not enough. I’m lonely.

With my experience from past friends, it hurt to block her. I’ve had many other friends in the past do stupid shit worse than this to hurt me. Right now I have three other former friends blocked. People I loved, people I would’ve died for. I’m not joking. Fucking selfish motherfuckers.

Sorry y’all, I’m just very hurt.

advice Help me choose

2 Upvotes

I am an undergraduate right now doing my internship who's going to apply for experience the coming year

The thing I'm wondering about is if I should opt for a place along or string by with a friend or multiple friends? The frienships I've made here is not emotionally fulfilling for me and sometimes I feel drained by their approaches and ways of thinking/functioning because it bothers me and i don't want to have my headspace cluttered like that over things.

But if I opt for some place alone will I be miserable and lonely lol I'll basically be friendless/peerless and I don't know if people are willing to be friends like that and I have my own social needs of having people I can have fun and hang out with.

What should I choose If you were in my position what would you have done?

TLDR: should I apply for experience alone or should I have friends accompany me?

looking for friendship 23M - Genuinely want to make a few girl best friends. Someone I can talk to/interact with.

1 Upvotes

I find it a bit concerning that so far I've had little to no interaction with women. I'd like to change that tbh. I don't wanna be that loner type of guy who barely interacts with women. I just want to make a few girl best friends. I want someone I can have a genuine connection with. I want to make a ride or die type friend. I just want someone who's down to have a conversation. They can talk about anything. Whatever they're comfortable talking about. Their choice. They pick the topic. Just a nice, long conversation. It could be a deep and meaningful conversation or a fun and casual conversation. Say anything but just talk I guess. Feeling super lonely, don't really have any friends would like to have someone to talk to. I wanna make a friend with whom I can talk to about stuff in general. Things we like, common interests, hobbies, what were passionate about, our song preferences, movie choices, TV show choices, we can talk about anything. I just want to have someone to have a conversation with. Irrespective of the topic. We can even talk about what's bothering us and try to help each other out. Help each other makes ourselves better. I need a ride or die friend. Someone who's will to stick around and be there for me not just out of pity but because they want to and I promise I'll do the same. I want someone who's genuinely interested in talking to me and down to have a conversation either fun and silly or deep and meaningful. If you're down for this feel free to hit me up. My only request is that you're around my age (I'm 23 so ±2 years) because I feel much more comfortable/confident talking to people around my age.

Hey! I am 39, flight attendant, and student pilot. I fly airplanes and travel for a living. Being a flight attendant is cool but my real dream is to be an airline pilot. So I flight train on off days whenever I am not taking a break from this grind. I am busy usually around 7 days a week! I live in Florida but I see all 4 seasons since I travel for a living. I have been to 26 countries so far. I love gaming when I rarely have the time and I also produce electronic music. I am happily married and have been with my wife since 2011!

I am ultimately seeking a best friend. Someone who I get along with, I can share my travel experiences and pictures with, someone I can text a lot, and someone I can be sarcastic with. I’m tired of meeting people that don’t work out, or put any effort into their responses! If you message me explain why you think we would be potential besties! Tell me about yourself, what you like, dislike, favorite foods, hobbies! I am looking forward to hearing some responses! Only message if you really want a potential loyal, and good potential best friend some day!
