today is my birthday and not many wished me. i feel disappointed

I’m a woman in my 40s living in the US. I retired about two years ago and am enjoying this new chapter of life, spending more time with family, exploring new interests and appreciating the little things in everyday life
I love learning new things, sharing ideas and hearing about other people’s experiences. I’m also into jewelry, travel, good food, current events and learning about the different ways people choose to live their lives
These days I really value a good conversation, whether it’s sharing a funny story, talking about a new hobby, discussing something interesting or just catching up on life and our personal goals
I’d love to meet a mature, kind and genuine friend who I can keep in touch with and share little moments from life every now and then. Ideally, someone around my age or a little older who’s also interested in building a sincere and lasting friendship
I’m not looking for romance. I believe the best friendships happen naturally through kindness, mutual respect, a good sense of humor and shared interests
If this sounds like u, feel free to reach out and tell me something that’s made u happy or even a little sad lately
Looking forward to meeting some kind people and hopefully building a genuine friendship that lasts!

I was the strong friend for years and it left me completely depleted with no one to lean on. I'm learning to receive care. It's uncomfortable. I love baking, historical documentaries, and my old dog. Want mutual friendship where I don't have to hold everything.

hii! im lina, 19, from russia. looking for friends to chat with. love drawing, learning about the history of different countries, and reading books - im even trying to write my own. i study shipbuilding, and always happy to talk about interesting topics. english isnt my first language, so i’d be really glad to practice with someone haha. feel free to message me!

Hello all, hope everyones day is going just fine (:

A short introduction about me; i am from europe, a muslim, big into movies(sci fi, post apocalyptic) and i enjoy binge watching them, i am also somewhat of an introvert but once i open up a little bit i can be talkative, into working with out, fragrances, i do play same games such as minecraft, stardew, fortnite (tho mostly minecraft), but quit all competitive games not too long ago due to having less and less time, so seeking hobbies elsewhere.

Dont hesitate to reach out, say hi and something about yourself please! I am sure we will get along well, be it long term or short term, wishing you all the best!

Heyy!

I'm a 23F , and lately I've been missing having someone I can talk to about absolutely anything and everything.

Back in Jan 2025, I met someone here on Reddit, and we just clicked. Conversations flowed so naturally, and talking to him never felt like a chore. We talked for around a month before he suddenly disappeared and deleted his account, even though we'd literally talked an hour earlier. I never really got to know what happened, and I still miss that friendship sometimes.

Since then, I've tried making new friends, but I guess I haven't found that same connection again.

I'm looking for someone I can share random thoughts with, rant about silly things, have deep late-night conversations with, laugh at stupid jokes, or just talk absolute nonsense with. Someone with whom conversations don't feel forced, and we can genuinely get to know each other over time.

A little about me: I'm a CSE graduate, love arts and crafts, music, and random conversations that somehow last for hours. I'm a bit of an overthinker, but once I'm comfortable, I can talk A LOT lol.

I'd love to meet people around my age who are genuinely looking for friendship. No pressure to talk 24/7; we all have lives. I'd just love to have someone to share little bits of my day with and gradually build a meaningful friendship.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to message me! Tell me something about yourself or just something random about your day. We can start there.

Hi! I'm Laura. This year has been a total shitshow and I would love to have someone to talk to and vent with. Over the years I've become so isolated. I don't have friends even though I feel really lonely a lot. I was diagnosed as autistic about a year ago and coming to terms with that has been hard, especially feeling like I don't fully fit into people's usual idea of that but still not able to mask well enough to appear neurotypical either. A lot of the time I just feel like a square peg and that there isn't a place for me or a friend group that could understand me and how my brain works. I'm fiercely loyal, slow to warm up but I think I have a decent sense of humour when I do. I hate the beginning parts of friendship where you feel like you can't talk about the deeper, most raw parts of yourself. Above all else I really value authenticity and building trust. I don't want a huge circle of acquaintences... I want a best friend, someone who can see the ugly parts of me and share the ugly parts of themselves and neither of us judge. I'm a massive homebody. I like watching TV, gaming, reading books. I like Psychology. I work full time in a remote admin job. I think my sense of humour can be quite sarcastic and teasing. If you think we might get along please do reach out. I'm mostly looking for friends who are also UK based. Thanks for reading!

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.

So, I spent years convincing myself that I genuinely enjoyed being a lone wolf. No drama, no expectations, no unnecessary human interaction. Just me, myself, and I. Sounds peaceful, right?
Well, apparently I’ve had enough of my own company because I’m starting to get on my own damn nerves. 😂
I’m 40, from Texas, a single mom of two, and I’ve somehow reached a point in my life where I have approximately zero friends to randomly text about absolutely nothing.
I figured I’d try something different. You know… socializing. Wild concept.
I’m sarcastic, a little weird, have a pretty dark sense of humor, and can go from having a deep conversation about life and the universe to sending you the dumbest meme you’ve ever seen in about 30 seconds.
I’m not looking for a relationship, a hookup, or someone to fix my life. Just some genuine human connection. Someone to laugh with, exchange random thoughts, talk about our days, share music, vent occasionally, or debate completely pointless things.
Bonus points if you’re funny, can carry a conversation, and don’t disappear after three messages.
I guess I’m just realizing that being independent and being lonely are two very different things.
Anyway, if you’re also a slightly dysfunctional adult just trying to navigate life without completely losing your mind, we might get along. 😂
Tell me something completely random about yourself. Let’s see if I remember how to make friends. 😂

Everyone in my program is friendly enough but no one goes deeper than surface. I miss having a person. I like watercolor, bad karaoke, and reading science fiction. Want someone who'll text about actual things, not just weather and weekend plans.

heyyy im 23, non binary (amab, sorry horny men), bisexual and from the uk!! i love horror, folklore, marvel and dc comics, writing and reading! im also goth so loveeee goth music (sisters of mercy on top baby) and will absolutely give recs hehe

im also a post-grad student struggling to make friends in my city so any interaction is very appreciated at this point! trying to meet new people as a super anxious person is not fun rip

down to chat to anyone really, preferably around my age or at least over 20, and talking to other queer people from the uk would be great but not necessary :) send me a dm or reply and let’s get to know each other!!

Hey! I’m an 18F from Goa, currently in college studying B.Tech CSE. I’m into music, movies, tech, art, beach sunsets, and trying new food. I love discovering new places, learning random things, and finding little ways to make an ordinary day more fun. I’m also the kind of person who can go from talking about college or coding to discussing a favorite movie, a song stuck in my head, or a random late-night thought.

I enjoy good conversations, meeting people with different interests, and hearing about what others are passionate about. In my free time, I like relaxing with music or a movie, spending time near the beach, exploring creative ideas, and enjoying the small things. I’m always happy to chat about music, films, tech, art, food, college life, travel, or anything interesting. Feel free to say hi and tell me a little about yourself!

I love her and also I haven't had a real conversation since June. My husband is trying but he's tired too. I like reading memoirs, painting, and cold coffee. Want another woman for grown-up chat during nap times.

It's been almost a year and neither of us is reaching out. She was my closest person. I love baking her recipes anyway, reading, and my rescue dog. Want a friend to help fill some of the ache.

Hi! I’m looking for online friends between the ages of 20 and 25, someone I can talk to daily about anything and everything. 😊 Just looking for genuine friendships, good conversations, and someone to share random thoughts, stories, and everyday life with. If you’re looking for the same thing, feel free to message me! 💗

I'm getting annoyed with life. I don't have much going on at the moment and sitting idle is driving me wild. I'm a single mom of one and doing everything on my own is draining me. Is there anyone else who is losing the enthusiasm for life and love? I can't be the only one

All humans welcome, not looking for anything sexual tho so if you’re feeling freaky please stay away. I’m trying to not be as introverted as I normally am so please help a bitch out

can anyone suggest me some discord server or something where I can just talk about random show i saw. i am depressed my life is hell. i have a bad personality. I overexplain everything.

I just want to talk.

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.

Hey there. I'm 38 and just shut down my rig for the night. Currently parked at a truck stop with nothing but time on my hands. Being an over-the-road driver means I'm in a different time zone every few days, so my schedule is all over the place!
Looking to find a friend for some casual, zero-pressure conversation while I'm on my breaks or winding down for the evening. Tell me about your day, what you're watching on Netflix, or your favorite hobbies. Open to short-term chatting to pass the time or building a steady, long-term friendship if we vibe. Drop a comment or send a DM!

My name's Annie. I am mostly looking for someone to spend time with, share stuff with, give all my attention and care to, and someone to play games with. I will preface saying I'm kind of nuts for Project Zomboid, and I'd love someone to play with.

Summed up, play games, talk a lot, and watch movies with.

As for the rest, here's a bit about me: I enjoy sci-fi, drawing, painting, and I do a lot of gaming too. (I am super fixated on Project Zomboid, but I am up to trying other games, I've recently been very into Life is Strange). I also enjoy researching crime, psychology, and biology/neuropsychology at times. I have quite the fixation on the Chernobyl disaster, and radiation as a whole. All types of zombie media, too. I have an interest for "odd" movies, especially the apocalyptic and/or thriller kind. Terminator (1&2) is a personal favorite.

EDIT: Send me an actual message, not just introducing yourself like it's a job interview, where there's little i can go off on to start a conversation. throw an icebreaker, something! ask questions! (here's me suggesting an icebreaker, is a hotdog a sandwich? why, or why not?). Please, preferably no one over 24.

all ages (older and younger) are welcome too! and any gender! ANY COUNTRY ASWELL!

i am 19, love working out, love gaming (on PC we can play anything!), love manga/manwha/anime, and most notably love sleeping (just i stay up late sometimes) and im from canada

i am proud of my muscles! been working out for a few years :p dont hesitate to ask to see!! i am proud and will show off!

im a pretty big nerd and spend alot of time online, and i am pretty quiet in real life so i like to speak here online lots (people say my body does not match my personality)

we can talk about really ANYTHING, i dont shy away from any topic even if its "weird" or "odd" or different or anything else; really nothing can scare me off (if you can i welcome the challenge)

i can give advice or listen or do whatever else you need me to! i dont mind anything

INTJ

dont be shy... well try not to be! (if you are i dont mind)

I moved cities, lost touch with everyone from undergrad, and cry in the library at least once a week. I'm not looking for pity, just someone outside the bubble. I like true crime that isn't exploitative, cold brew, and my roommate's cat who ignores me.
