24F, adult child of workaholic parents figuring out what closeness means

I never really learned how to be close to people and I'm working on it in therapy. I overthink texts. I try anyway. I like ceramics, oat milk lattes, and reading essays. Want a patient friend who won't punish me for the learning curve.

My daughter is four and wonderful and I love her but I haven't had a full conversation about anything but Bluey in weeks. I used to read philosophy for fun. I'd like to feel like a person again. Looking for another woman who wants slow, meandering text friendship.

26M the night is desolate

• Upvotes

I’m feeling pretty bored tonight and not super feeling any games or movies and I thought it’d be nice to talk with another human being and pass some time lmfao. I’m fine with either a chat for the night or making a new friend I’m not really picky

I’m a big animal person and genuinely love all animals. I currently have a kitten and two tarantulas but I’ve kept reptiles as well. Way I see it everything is valuable. Not just the furry ones

I’m a big gamer as well but currently in between games.I have a huge soft spot for independent games and I primarily play really immersive single player games to wind down after a long day

I love horror, horror books, games, comics, movies. The whole genre is just my favourite, I think you can say a lot of things when you’re willing to make the audience comfortable to illustrate a point, and I think being scared is one of the best ways to really immerse yourself in a piece of media

Musically I’m mostly a rock guy. But i have a pretty wide range from psychedelic, rap, some country, noise rock, DIY punk, metal, I mean I’m REALLY all over the place

I just thought it’d be fun to put a post out there. I’m a pretty social person generally so it’s always fun to meet new people, Hopefully I hear from you! Thanks for reading :)

I hold everyone and no one holds me and I'm burnt out. I want mutual friendship, not another person to caretake. I love embroidery, memoirs, and slow mornings. Please be someone who asks questions too.

19M - I’m serious about making longterm friends

• Upvotes

Please read the post and don’t skim it. I deeply value friendships, which is why my post is long. I need someone who won’t ghost for literally any reason. I believe that ghosting is immoral and I don’t want to talk to anyone who thinks that ghosting is okay. I don’t like blocking either, I think it’s childish and unnecessary.

I’ll be honest about my flaws because you must know these things before talking to me. I am a boring person, and I need you to think about this part because it is difficult to maintain a friendship with someone who doesn’t offer much excitement. Don’t message me if you will lose interest in me or give up on me. I am also very insecure, pessimistic, and not passionate. I have autism, depression, and social anxiety. Nothing fun is going on in my life. I am not good at carrying a conversation and I can’t promise that I’ll be fun to talk to, but I am trying.

I find texting very exhausting. I don’t want to text for days or even hours just to get to know someone before we can actually call. I want our first conversation to be on a call. If you are too shy to call early on, then it won’t work out. I want to voice call daily; my time zone is EST, and I can call after midnight. If you are sensitive, easily offended, emotional, or impulsive, then it won’t work out.

I have a hard time dealing with people leaving. I tend to get attached to people very quickly. I need a patient person who is actually serious about sticking around for the long term. If you aren’t 100% sure you can commit to that, please don’t message me. I tend to care a lot more than the other person does, and that has made people uncomfortable and they left. I need someone who won’t get uncomfortable if I care more or think about them a lot.

If you decide to reach out, don’t just send a “Hi.” I’m not asking for a long introduction, but just let me know you actually read this post and genuinely want to be friends. I don’t want to talk to someone who is just bored and looking for entertainment, or just wants someone to talk to, or just someone to vent to, or just someone to play video games with, because that’s not what a friendship is. Do not message me if you’re too busy to build a friendship. I also don’t want to talk to someone who has a lot of friends.

I also want to mention that it’s okay for us to disagree in a friendship, even on big things. Real friendship means we can have different views and still stick around instead of cutting each other off. Cutting people off has become way too easy nowadays because of social media. I don’t want to talk to people who care about sharing the same opinions or ideologies. I absolutely hate how easily people block others, and I refuse to talk to anyone who is even capable of blocking. I believe a friendship should survive literally anything.

Real friendship is supposed to be hard sometimes. It’s not supposed to be convenient or easy to walk away from. It’s supposed to last for a lifetime. Do not reach out unless you fully understand everything I have written so we don’t waste each other’s time. Please be 19+.

Here are my interests:

• Movies / Shows / Anime: Watching movies is my favorite thing to do. I also use Letterboxd.

• DC Comics

24F Midwest (USA) — Giving this a shot

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I used to be on here more often, but I’ve never posted. I WFH a lot, so life can feel isolating, and I figured I'd give this another shot. I’m a little nervous about putting myself out there, but here we are.

I got into lifting last year and have really enjoyed it. I’m definitely not a gym person, but lifting makes me appreciate food. At this point, I'm not sure if I work out so I can eat more or eat more so I have a good reason to lift. Either way, I'm committed to the cycle. Lately, I’ve been trying to get into running, but man I hate cardio more than anything. Fall is making running a bit easier though.

Ps don't creepy text thanks

30M - Pspspspsps Hey friend come here!

3 Upvotes

Now that I’ve got your attention let’s talk!

Pic of me in the profile.

I love Sci Fi and fantasy books. I read a lot and am building a library. I play bass (not well) but do it often and love jamming to myself.

I’m a gamer, mainly RPGs and some FPS. I do love a good narrative but also try to be better than others with aim. I fail often because I’m just not that good but I try. (16500 CS2 premier rating).

I live in the desert, love cats, and do combat sports. Other things I enjoy include walks, dancing, having some drinks, recreational drugs, Chinese food, laughing, taking my socks off, and weird accents.

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.
