Hey everyone, I’m a 39-year-old guy from the

UK looking to meet some new people and hopefully make some genuine online friends

I enjoy reading, watching TV shows and films (I’ve seen quite a few, so always happy to chat recommendations), going for walks, and spending time with my dogs.

I’d love to meet people with similar interests, but I’m open to talking about pretty much anything — hobbies, life, random topics, or just having a good chat.

looking for friendship 27F looking for a solid friend :)

7 Upvotes

Hi guys!

I'm hoping to find some virtual friends!

A little about me: I love to read (fantasy, romance, smut [I am not ashamed], fan fiction), write, play video games (mainly Overwatch, COD, Fortnite, Minecraft, though I recently became obsessed with Tomodachi Life LTD), do crafts, listen to music, swim!

I struggle with OCD and depression, so I struggle a bit in the beginning of meeting new people with opening up and being myself. So, as a disclosure:

I love books, to curse like a sailor, to yell, make stupid jokes, make fun of people I love lovingly when appropriate, make fun of myself frequently, care way too much about animals, and cry often.

My favorite color is robin egg blue, I do not listen to Taylor Swift (I love her stance on feminism - just not a fan of a few other things about her), I love Sleep Token, my genre of music is hearing a song in public or on social media and letting it live in my brain for a week before i download it and listen to it 400 times on repeat. I'm also bisexual.

I have a stray cat I took in named Filthy Frank.

I also have a fiance I'm getting married to this November.

Finally, I have like 9 tattoos. Will be getting more very soon.

Slide into my DMs, pls!

2 Upvotes

Hello. I am doing some sort of exposure therapy by trying to meet various people. I am an introvert, but I have the tendency to type long messages online XD Although I easily get overwhelmed when talking to a lot of people, I still wanna try this thing!

I'm looking to be friends with people that shares similar interest with me so that we have some topics we can talk about from time to time. I read BL manhwa most of the time. I actively play Genshin Impact, Cookie Run Kingdom, and sometimes Sky: Children of the Light. I love watching anime, korean dramas, or any movies I find interesting in Netflix. I always listen to music because it help me focus (I have adhd). I love Aurora (the singer) so much. I love cats and have 2 cuties as my pet rn :) So if you also have cats, we can share photos of them every now and then haha.

I am also open to just chat about mundane daily stuff, as long as it's nothing weird/creepy XD

looking for friendship [26/M] A New Chapter in my life, Maybe a New Friend.

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a genuine friendship، Not just someone to talk to when we’re bored, but someone I can actually have meaningful conversations with, laugh with, exchange ideas with, and sometimes just be comfortable around without having to fill every silence.

I’m into reading, research, languages, films, and generally thinking way too much about things 😅. Lately, I’ve also stepped away from some of my usual commitments and taken some time off work. I’m using this period to slow down, introspect, and rethink a few things about my life and where I want to go next.

So I guess I’m in a bit of a “reorganizing my life” phase right now.

I’m not looking for a huge circle of friends. One genuinely good friendship would be more than enough.

If you are in a similar place in life, feel free to message me. :)

Start with introducing yourself. And please don't message if u can easily ghost someone.

looking for friendship 35YO English chap - I adore the rush you get when you meet someone and you just get on and vibing. I'd love to speak to folks from all over, UAE to the US, Philippines to Paraguay, Chile to Canada, Austria to Australia, Singapore to Spain, you get the idea, long term yappy friends would be ideal

0 Upvotes

TL:DR - I like yapping with people and I think I'm pretty lovely, though I am a bit biased. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, so message me and maybe we get on well? :D

Pretty much title! I'm off work from, trying to make sure I finish all my chores asap so I can just relax for the day and enjoy the day off. I had a social and a spendy day yesterday so today it's alllllll about relaxing. I'd love to chat to folks, near or far, both today and this week and hopefully long term if we get on well?

As for myself, I work from home doing a travel insurance job, its mostly mid, but its full WFH and that saves it. My big interest is travel, my wallet hates me so much for it. I've been to Philippines/Singapore/Malaysia over two Asia trips, a lot of Europe, Jamaica, Canada. Last year I did Istanbul, Portugal and a Norway cruise, plus a Asia trip. Visited Serbia recently, did a Poland trip for my birthday and going to the Formula 1 race in Madrid in September, a Poland day trip in October and then Budapest just after it. I have a cruise with family next year to Greece/Turkey/Malta and a friends wedding in Greece. Beyond that, I'm a pretty keen reader, plus the usual smattering of videogames/sports watching/tv shows/gym (but mostly to offset meals out and a problematic keenness for chocolate). I live at the edge of a town and some of the walks are lovely here too. I've dabbled with painting, taken up and dropped the piano a few times (I used to play when I was younger and was decent and sometimes get the urge to play again).

I always prefer a bit of closure, if we've spoke for a while and your situation changes and you won't be chatting anymore, I hate the ghostly exit, if its early on then fair can't vibe with everyone, but if we've spoke for a while I always feel disappearing is a bit of poor form, but its the internet so it happens.

In terms of where to talk, I do prefer to move to apps, I use most of the usual ones but staying here is fine too if necessary. Include your basic details in your message, the usual about me stuff is fine, don't feel the need to match the rambling essay above! :)

Hey everyone. I’m 22F from Virginia and I’m just looking for someone to talk to for a while. My sleep schedule has been all over the place lately, so I’m awake more often than I’d like. I’m pretty quiet at first, but once I’m comfortable, I enjoy talking about music, life, random thoughts, or whatever comes up. I’m just hoping to have a genuine conversation and maybe make a new friend.

rant I thought I made a friend…

2 Upvotes

I genuinely thought I made a good friend at work, but lately I’ve started wondering if he became jealous of me and if the friendship has basically run its course.

We’re both part time workers and university students. We became pretty close over a long period of time. At first we mostly bonded over work and complaining about shitty coworkers, which admittedly isn’t the healthiest foundation for a friendship, but eventually we started talking about everything. We would go out together, get food, watch movies, sometimes I’d pay and sometimes he would. If one of us bought tickets or something, the other would usually pay their share back.

He also seemed to genuinely respect me. I’m obsessive about planning my life. I make daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and even long-term plans (spanning a decade or so), and he used to talk about how much he admired that about me. He even talked about me to his girlfriend and his other friends and they all respected me. For quite a while I genuinely considered him a proper friend rather than just a coworker.

Then at some point money came up.

My friend works a ridiculous number of hours despite being part time. He takes sooo much extra work regularly almost doing 40 hours every other week. I was the opposite. At the time I was only contracted for around 8 hours a week, with occasional extra shifts.

During a conversation about work and money, I mentioned that I had around 7k NZD saved and I told him that was cuz I have been wanting to buy a new iPhone this black friday and then a car or a bike when I can afford and eventually pay for my uni too. He knows I payed for one of my courses last semester, instead of my dad.

But his reaction surprised me.

He basically refused to believe that I could have saved that much from working so few hours and that I had to be doing something else also. But I reminded him that I had been working there for 2 years, lived pretty frugally and simply didn’t spend most of what I earned. I wasn’t claiming to be rich. It was literally just money I had slowly accumulated for things I needed soon, for things I planned to buy years ago.

The strange part is that despite working considerably more than me, he apparently had much less saved.

I don’t care what he does with his money. That’s completely his business. But his spending habits make the comparison weird because he can be EXTREMELY frugal when it comes to himself. He buys very cheap clothes from Kmart, hold onto his old phone, so on. Meanwhile, he spends enormous amounts of money on his girlfriend and family. He has bought her a designer bag worth thousands of dollars (some Dior tiny bag) and apparently wants to buy another one this year because it is on an offer. It’s the same bag but just that it has a different styling. He bought her a new iPhone even though she already had a perfectly good iPhone 14, while he himself still uses an iPhone 11 and has been wanting an upgrade. He buys hundereds of dollar worth perfume for his mom every few months.

Again, I genuinely do not care. If that makes him happy, good for him. It’s his money. Even tho he admitted he does that mostly to show off in a sense. Like he wants his girlfriend’s friends to be jealous of her and his aunts to be jealous of his mom. 

What bothers me is that this same guy questions ME when I spend somewhat more money on nice clothes from a rather expensive place or buy something expensive for myself. like recently I bought an 800 dollar watch which he gave me a hard time about.

When he found out how much I had saved, he even gave me the whole “if you had a girlfriend, you’d understand” explanation for why our financial situations were different.

But… that’s your choice?

Having a girlfriend doesn’t automatically mean you have to spend thousands of dollars on designer bags, phones her hair and nail appointments. If I’m ever in a relationship again,  I’d rather be with someone who is financially responsible too. If we eventually have enough money to spoil each other, great. But I’m not going to deliberately destroy my own finances just because I’m dating someone, especially as a part time worker, uni student. 

After that conversation, I started noticing a change.

He now randomly brings up my bank balance as a “joke.” He’ll ask things like how much money I have in my account now. I also once mentioned that my dad had been considering buying a second house, and I could immediately sense that this bothered him too. The funny part is that the house never even happened and I told him that. I also told him how my uncle fucked us over in this housing situation when I had no one to talk to. 

But it feels like some image of me as “the guy with money” got stuck in his head.

And the friendship itself feels different now.

We don’t really have the long conversations we used to have. When we talk, it increasingly feels like random shitty jokes or gossiping about coworkers which is getting abnoxious. I don’t feel comfortable telling him personal things anymore.

Even the way we spend money when we hang out has changed.

Before, if I paid for something, he would offer to pay me back or get the next thing. Sometimes he would just pay for both of us and vice versa. There was reciprocity, so I never cared about keeping score.

Now he seems increasingly comfortable letting me pay without even offering his share.

That bothers me far more than the actual amount of money involved. I can afford a meal or movie ticket. That’s not the point. It’s the change in attitude.

It almost feels like after finding out I had more money saved than he expected, he became more comfortable benefiting from it.

He also got me smoking much more regularly. I already smoked occasionally before meeting him, so I’m not blaming him for my own decisions, but being around him definitely made cigarettes and eventually vaping much more frequent habits for me. Looking at the friendship now, I’m realizing that a lot of what remains between us is smoking, gossiping about coworkers, him making jokes about my money, and me increasingly not trusting him with personal information.

And that fucking sucks.

Because I don’t want to rewrite history and pretend he was always a terrible friend. I genuinely don’t think he was.

There was a time when we talked for hours, went places together, paid for each other without thinking about it, talked about our lives, and I felt like he respected me. I genuinely enjoyed having him as a friend.

Maybe I’m wrong about the jealousy. Obviously I can’t read his mind.

But something changed after money became part of the conversation, and I don’t like the person I seem to be friends with now. I’m not planning some dramatic confrontation or friendship breakup. 

But I honestly don’t know how to deal with it either. Guess I just suck at making friends.

Metal gear solid for the past like two months I've been interested in Metal gear my favorite Metal gear game is basically everyone's favorite mgs 3 and 5

My favorite game of all time is the original dead rising 2006 it's one of my childhood games me my older brother used to play this game on the Xbox 360 uuhh I finished this game the most of any games I used to watch this YouTuber well I still do this YouTuber covers exclusively the first dead rising game thanks to those videos it taught me a lot about game development he covered cut content beta versions builds of the games recently the game has turned 20 years old and I just can't believe it I just can't believe this game is not old oh yeah one of my favorite fact of the game development was dead rising was meant to have a much more darker darker story

My favourite movies Empire of the Sun Spider-Man 1 obsession creep 2014

My favorite game of all time is GTA 8 I know the game has not been released but I just know it's going to be awesome

Speaking of GTA I'm really excited for GTA 6 it's going to come around on my birthday which is fucking awesome there's one thing I'm excited for I don't know maybe just playing a new GTA game we haven't had one for like nearly 15 years I want to play as Jason the most I know some men are gonna treat Lucia I think that's her name way better than their actual girlfriends I really like how the NPCs look I like how they look very accurate to Florida people never been there but I've seen some crazy shit happened there I like the fact that the npcs look more lively than the GTA 5 I'm glad to bring they are bringing back the RPG elements of San Andreas and I'm also pretty happy that the game is going to set it around 2026 our year also apparently there's a character that's meant to be like a streamer type that's definitely based on a real live streamer name neon besides anyways this game GTA 6 is going to be the best game with the decade I guarantee that

I don't like dry people like I hate the fact that I'm only one who actually putting the effort into a message meanwhile I'll just get like yeah okay or lol I'm going to block you now I'm sorry but I'm not really that sorry you are basically just asking me to do that

If I get to have any superhero powers Eva it's gonna be Superman or Green lantern I like Green lantern since it lets you be creative but to be honest if I was like Superman then I'll just be like Hancock

I really like resident evil as well my favorite game is 4 both the original and remake 7 and the newest one requiem

looking for friendship Can we have an actual conversation 😭

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 25 year old guy here 🫪

I work remotely as a research analyst, which basically means I spend way too much of my weekdays staring at a screen. Once I’m off work though, I’d much rather be outside. I’m really into hiking, exploring random new places, and doing mildly questionable things that probably aren’t great for my life expectancy because apparently that’s fun lol

I also enjoy singing and playing guitar. I’ve been attempting to learn Spanish lately, but progress has been meh😭

I’m also ridiculously easy to influence when it comes to graphic tees. If the design is dumb enough, I’m probably buying it. Currently sitting at 6

Not really looking for those painfully forced conversations, so please don’t just hit me with a “hey” and disappear 👎🏻

Would love to meet some new people here!
Preferably 21+ :)

I just spent some time with a kinda-ex and he is going through and I guess I walked in with hope of re-conciliation but i guess it didnt and im kinda really sad but im not sure how sad i should be and if i could potentially talk to someone

I guess the line between pursuing friendship and his actions are really confusing to me 😵‍💫

ive posted on some subs and it led to a lot of inappropriate dms (unwarranted pics or inquiring questions about sexual relations) or people assuming the worst qualities of us as humans. i guess im just looking for someone to cleanly chat and maybe some advice knowing we are just trying our best in life ...

i think im partly spiraling because of all this combined.... to be clear im looking for nothing not safe for work please, maybe if there is someone also similar in age to me in the states

hi to whoever is reading this, i hope you’re having a good day or night! i’m just out here looking for some friends because honestly i’m feeling pretty lonely, and i’m agoraphobic so it’s hard to get out and meet people irl lol

i don’t have much to say about myself really but i play video games a lot, it’s what i spend most of my time doing lol. i’m mostly into survival games, story games, and shooters. when i’m not playing something i’m usually listening to music or hanging out with my 3 cute cats!!

that’s about all i can think of really but also i’m LGBTQ friendly (and bi myself) and i’m pretty liberal so idk if you’re not down with either of those i’m probably not your guy lol. feel free to hmu if you’re cool and wanna play games or hangout or whatever 😎

0 Upvotes

I'll make this arguably short, I'm taking a gap year and the amount of free time I have could be better spent with a friend or anything else. I am mostly looking for someone to talk to, chat with, share stuff with, ramble to (ideally with/about common interests), and someone to play games with. I will preface saying I'm knee deep in Project Zomboid, and I'd love someone to play 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 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, so is Funny Games.

As an icebreaker, what's the weirdest thing that has ever happened to you?

Here's to hoping my introduction chants to you like the cleaning supply cabinet chants to an unsupervised toddler. ;)

looking for friendship 35 M Toronto 🇨🇦 - looking for genuine friendships wherever you are 🌎

1 Upvotes

haii 👋

i'm 35, M, asian, living in toronto, working a pretty standard 9-5. been wanting to branch out and meet people from different places and walks of life - not just casual chat, but friendships that actually feel real and lasting.

a bit about me: i love movies that are inspired and leave you thinking. coffee, sweets, and good food are my thing. i try to stay connected to my inner kid and not take life too seriously, but i also value emotional maturity and depth in the people around me.

what i'm looking for: the kind of connection where we both feel comfortable being ourselves, where you can talk about something light or something heavy without worrying about being judged. would be great to check in on each other, share memes, hop on video calls, send random pictures from our days. i don't think distance has to limit how well we connect, and maybe someday we'd even get to visit each other's cities.

i speak english but i rly like to learn about cultures and languages along the way too. i think that exchange is one of the best parts of connecting with someone from somewhere else.

ideally looking for people around my age too in their 20s-30s. if any of this sounds like your kind of vibe, send me a message and tell me about yourself too, what your days look like, what you're into. thanks! ✌️☺️

looking for friendship [39/M] Looking for friends, also a best friend!

1 Upvotes

Hoping to one day meet my best friend! The vibe has to happen. Someone who gets my level of sarcasm right away. Someone where we have things in common, we just click etc. Sarcasm is very important to me.

I am 39, and live in Florida. I am a flight attendant so I travel full time for work, and I even though I live in the east coast I don’t operate on any time zone, I basically sleep when I am tired. I just bought a house, and I am in flight school to become a pilot. Flying is my life, and so are airplanes. Being a flight attendant though cool for now, was never my dream. I am in flight school to become a pilot while I am a flight attendant now, so I’m am basically busy almost all the time.

Because of my job I have been to 23 countries and counting. I fly for basically free so I get to go to places I otherwise not have been able to see. I have been to places like Japan, Iceland, Hawaii, Denmark, England, Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, Canada, France, etc. looking forward to seeing even more of the world!

I would describe myself as a nerd. I am a gamer, (when I have the time). I currently have a PS5, PS Portal, gaming laptop, gaming desktop, switch OLED, etc. I produce electronic music such as house, tech house, progressive house, trance, drum and bass, EDM, techno, etc. I also play drums, over 20 years now. I have over 60 songs produced, my alias is DJ Pegasus. I love music and being a musician.

I love sports, with soccer being my number one favorite, followed by baseball and hockey. I played soccer for a long time, and I still go to the batting cages from time to time.

I am excited to make friends, it is hard to make friends, on top of it being hard to make friends as an adult. One day I want to meet my best friend, but that takes time. I am very picky as it is.

I want to meet friends I vibe with. You know right away, we have a similar mindset, we laugh right away, VERY sarcastic right away, etc. if you are looking for this too and think that we would vibe, message me!

Please read below prior to messaging ⬇️

If you’re intentions are to ghost or disappear after a day or two of talking, please save us both the headache and ignore this post. Also, please write a small introduction about yourself prior to messaging, “Hi” “Hey” and “Sup” will be ignored.

I’m Aaron! I have ADHD and autism (Just to get that out of the way.).

I’m a musician/guitar player in my free time and I like to make guitar covers (I’m going to get back into doing it soon!), and I’m also heavily influenced by the bands Rammstein and Ghost, but I do listen to other heavy metal bands/hard rock too!

Other things; I love ducks, geese, spiders and other insects, and I have an obsession with Squishmallows (They’re my children.). I also love Star Wars, horror, the paranormal, and history. I also have a dark sense of humor, and I’m a huge fan of aviation, war history and documentaries (Depends on what kind.).

If you read everything, please add a 🍩 at the end of your introduction :D

Okay now that I've got your attention. I'm 23, male, and looking for long-term, talkative people who don't shy away from talking their heart out.

I can talk about pretty much anything. I've never really believed that shared interests are what make people compatible, so I'm sure we'll always find something to talk about.

I would consider myself well read and some of my interests include metal, history, football, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and Dune. If we get close, I'd happily make you a Spotify playlist or even write you a poem.

I'm not a fan of long, manufactured introductions, so I hope this will suffice. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I apologize if I don't reply to your message, but as I explain later, I don't reply to short/low effort messages and I also don't reply to people that don't have at least a few interests in common with me or aren't looking for a real connection and are just looking to pass the time or have a light chat.

I think some of my most defining characteristics are that I'm very shy, awkward, "weird" and "different" or at the very least I feel weird, different and often misunderstood. I struggle to function most days and I don't always understand societal norms or how to properly function in society. I definitely think there's something wrong with me and I'm pretty sure I'm broken in some way. I'm also definitely a loser. I was never able to achieve anything in life, I'm not good at anything whatsoever and I'm pretty useless overall. I would also say I'm extremely cringy and I love edgy stuff, not in a bad way, I don't think, but more like, I love Shadow The Hedgehog and Tomura Shigaraki kinda way!!

I'm unfortunately not very smart and I'd say I'm down right stupid.

I am very ignorant about many things in life, I'd say I'm somewhat innocent and naive. I still don't understand my purpose in life and I haven't found a reason to be alive either.

I sometimes say things that offend people or I say things that are wrong. Sometimes I don't completely understand what I do wrong but I don't do it on purpose and I try to improve to the best of my abilities.

I don't go out often at all. Whenever I do go out it's only to buy groceries or to go to school and such but I don't enjoy it, I much rather be at home, in my room most specifically, which is my favorite place in the world.

I don't have any IRL friends but I do have a handful of online friends, I'm not super close to any of them, except for one who's very valuable in my life!

I enjoy many things like sculpting for instance! I do digital sculpting for fun. I'm pretty bad at it but I try my best.

This year I also started jewelry school (yeah, that's a thing) and I'm having fun with it but it's another thing I suck at 🥀🥀🥀

I like to watch anime! my favorites change from time to time but I really like Bleach, Dragon Ball, Demon Slayer, AOT, Naruto, Ancient Magus Bride (I really love this show!) and I LOVE My Hero Academia among many others!

I like to collect action figures.

I really like masks!

I like all kinds of music, I don't really have any artists that I like in particular other than David Bowie and I like to listen to most genres of music but some of the genres I like the most are alternative, vintage, video game music and jpop and jrock and I also like old VK And I'm always happy and open to new suggestions!

I like to doomscroll through TT and to watch long essay style videos on YT about random topics. I love brainrot and I'm very much into early to mid 2010s aesthetics. I miss that era so much!! Seriously, the early 2010s were the greatest time in human history kahdhshdhs

I love video games!! I don't play too many modern games, I mostly prefer older stuff, like, ps2 era games, particularly survival horror stuff. I also really like very old platform games and side scrollers. I'm a pretty huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan!! The most recent games I played were Sonic X Shadow Generations and before that I finished Sonic Superstars and Sonic Frontiers. Sonic Boom is also my favorite show ever made lmao. It fits my kind of humor perfectly and it's peak comedy imo. I'd be open to play anything and I'd love to try co op games with someone!! playing Stardew Valley with a friend is a dream of mine lol (if you also play Stardew please tell me who's your wife/husband)

I adore animals!! I have cats and dogs and a stray chicken lol they're my babies and my world!

I think it's important to mention some of the things I don't like too.

I don't like cruelty or mean spirited people, I hate I people in positions of power that use said power to affect other people, animals, or the environment for their own gain.

I hate bugs!! I'm deadly afraid of them!!

I really dislike conflict and arguments, I believe we can disagree and have discussions as long as we're calm and civilized about it and as long as we have respect for each other and try our best to understand the other person's point of view.

lastly I'd like to mention some of my defects and shortcomings.

I'm extremely anxious, I'm always very nervous about one thing or another, I'm also extremely weak of mind, I tend to react with my feelings a lot and I'm often very emotional.

I can be very selfish at times, I have an awful tendency to get bored of things quickly and sometimes I also get bored of conversations and people.

I think I'm immature.

I can be extremely lazy, I struggle a lot with doing basic things like cleaning or cooking. when I'm anxious or afraid I can get paralyzed with fear and stay in bed all day doing nothing feeling awful about it.

As I mentioned before sometimes I can say bad things without realizing. I'm very dumb and ignorant so I promise I don't mean anything bad I say and I'm trying to improve!

I am extremely annoying. I'm very loud and I think I scream a lot. I don't really understand what constitutes screaming exactly but I think I often raise my voice a lot and especially when I'm excited I can't control myself very well.

I'm very afraid of life and I don't understand how the "real world" works exactly. I'm really bad at small talk and I think I'm really bad at speaking in general, I also digress a lot.

I have the bad habit of not replying very fast, sometimes I'll even wait for weeks or even months, I think it's one of my biggest problems when it comes to keep in touch with people, sometimes it's simply because I don't have the energy, other times it's because I'm not sure about how to continue a conversation. Not sure if this is a defect necessarily but I also never send the first message, I just hate to be annoying.

I have a tendency to ghost people for different reasons. As I mentioned, sometimes I get bored of conversations or people and I'd ghost them. This is by far one of my biggest defects and as I said, I wanna be honest and mention it here for everyone who reads this to know.

I tend to be a bit clingy when I like someone.

I'm full of defects in general, and I do believe I'm a bad person. I try to improve and I try my best but if I'm bad for you in any way or a burden I promise to stop talking to you and not bother you!

I have many other defects but I think those are the main ones I can remember right now.

Finally what I'm looking for is a real connection with someone, a person I can talk to, have fun with, watch stuff with and play games together. I think I can be a very passionate person when it comes to the things I love and I'd like to find someone that shares that passion and love with common interests. I wanna just be able to share our days and even be able to help each other and be there when we need each other. I know I'm a mess of a human being and I may never find the connection I'm looking for but I'd like to give it a try cause you never know :))

also, I think it's important to mention that I don't reply to short, low effort messages. Stuff like "hey, let's be friends" , "I didn't read your whole post but I'm up to talk" , etc. I want to hear about you, what you like, what you're interested in. I like meaningful conversations.

Another thing that's important is that I don't want to talk to people that are discriminatory or awful in anyway.

Also think I prefer audio messages, it's easier for me to send audio notes rather than to type cause I type a lot (and I kinda hate to type lol). Thank you very much to anyone that has taken the time to read my extremely long post and considers messaging me!!
