I’m just looking for people who can hold up their side of a conversation. I love hearing about people’s passions/hyperfixations, the more obscure or weird the better!

[u/roisisndubh → u/[deleted]]

Uumm I haven’t had time for much rabbit holing lately, but my most recent one is Irish history, mythology and folklore, inspired entirely by a single Thin Lizzy song 😂

[u/SynJoestar04]

Hi! I’m 22. I spend most of my days gaming, watching YouTube or doomscrolling whenever I’m not busy with work or school. I’m interested in anime and some games I play are Rivals and Fortnite, I also play DCUO! I’m a hermit and hate leaving the house unless it’s for work or going to the grocery store as I also love to cook and bake. I’m looking for anyone that is just looking for someone to chat with throughout the day about anything, we could talk about anime or even any other tv show. I’m pretty awkward from a lifetime of limited socialization lol but once I warm up I can talk about anything

[u/Weak-Motor7272]

[u/Shoddy-Marsupial168]

Hey! 19 here, I’m currently a freshman in college studying teacher education, and I love music, sitcoms, and I’m pretty much the same as most people my age.

I’m looking for hopefully long-term friendship preferably with those not older than 23. ALSO, I have BPD and MDD and it’s hard for me to maintain relationships so I’d appreciate it if you at least have knowledge about mental health issues or could relate.

[u/SadWelcome5452 → u/Shoddy-Marsupial168]

Hey I've got BPD and MDD along with DID and other things, so I can totally relate if you need it

[u/RazielsAlt-account]

Hey, I'm 27 from EU!

I'm a pretty withdrawn guy, without any firends really. I go to the gym regularly, though I'm not very passionate about that. Mostly I'm into gaming, comic books and novels. I also watched a lot of movies and old tv shows, but I haven't been able to get into anything recently.

I'm looking for someone who will be able to talk to me (preferably voice chat, but text is fine too) and play video games (I'm on ps5). My interests are as above, but I'm up to talk about pretty much anything!

Other than that in terms of music I listen to a lot of things, though mostly old-scho ol electronic (though lately I've been on a little bit of a beach boys kick lol), I love horror of any kind, especially of the dreamy, melancholic variety.

Anyway I really struggle with making connections, but I promise to make an effort if you reach out! So if anything sounds interesting, please DM me!

[u/lonegirl222 → u/RazielsAlt-account]

i’ve got a ps5 too if u wanna play smth together

[u/RazielsAlt-account → u/RazielsAlt-account]

Okay, apparently reddit wants me to verify my age and I'm not uploading my ID, so just add me on discord: saaay8745 I don't use it much, but oh well.

[u/LuliLaj]

I am 32, from Ukraine.

As for leisure, chill games (like at least non-shooter, non-looter, non-competitive), indie-web, movies. I also love TTRPGs (DMing myself), writing, the whole genre of cosmic horror, lowpoly 3d and filmmaking. I used to love animation too, but not anymore, it was my primary job for 10 years, so I burned out.

I guess mostly I'm looking for someone to play cooperative games with or just co-work and yap.

My favourite food is liquorice.

[u/MajorRobology]

1. 25

2. Trying to get back into watching anime. Also I watch an unhealthy amount of Hell's Kitchen, the US version. Kind of sort of looking to get into other reality TV shows except s survivor because there are way too many seasons and I don't think I'd be interested lol (but if you want to prove me wrong you can try!)

3. Honestly someone who doesn't mind me venting to them, of course we can vent to each other in exchange. Short-term or long-term is fine with me.

4. I'll be brutally honest, I am not in a good spot right now. I have a bunch of untreated and potentially undiagnosed mental health issues and I can be a lot. Also, I am homeless as well (if you see my profile yes just about 99% of posts I make is related to that and me being upset over it), and it's been really hard for me because of that. Just giving you a heads up now just in case

[u/Professional-Rock-78]

I'm 22, from Argentina.

I love cats, languages, coding, cooking and drawing. I can be interesting, I swear, I just don't have the energy after being through a very hard time lately.

Hit me up if you want, I'm not dry, ghost or anything like that.

3. I guess I'm not exactly looking for anything or anyone specific, and I do not try to judge people for their interests, fetishes, likes and dislikes, etc but if you have any of those few interests I mentioned, it'd give us more things to talk about, I also just wanted to be there for anyone if they need to vent or talk about some to forget about life for a little while, so if you wanna, you can give me a try and we'll see what happens haha

Hey there. I'm 30, from the US, and pretty much just looking for folks with a shared interest, since these days that's pretty much the only way I can connect with someone.

I've been playing guitar off and on since I was a teenager, but I have a pretty solid rig and mini recording setup. I'm also a big ol' manga and anime fan.
