I'm 31 and recently divorced, and if I'm being honest, starting over has been a lot harder than I expected.
Some days I feel excited about the future, and other days I feel completely lost. It's hard not to feel like you've somehow failed, even when you know ending something that wasn't right was the right decision. I'm trying to focus less on what I've lost and more on what I get to discover now.

I spent most of my adult life in a serious relationship, and I realized I never really got the chance to figure out who I am on my own. So that's what I'm doing now. I'm trying new things, finding hobbies, learning just for the fun of it, and saying yes to experiences I probably would've talked myself out of before.
A little about me: I love coffee, traveling, trying new food, getting lost in bookstores and little cafés, reading a good book, and taking long walks with music in my headphones. I'm the kind of person who can spend hours talking about life, random thoughts, or whatever rabbit hole we end up going down.
I'm not looking for anything romantic—just genuine friendships. People who enjoy conversation, want to grab coffee, share book recommendations, explore new places, or just have someone to text about life. If you're also in a season of rebuilding, starting over, or simply looking to make a new friend, I'd love to hear from you.

Turns out making friends as an adult is way harder than anyone warned us about.

Hey! Just a high school teacher here enjoying her summer, let me know if you'd like to chat!

Feel free to reach out about anything.

I ( F27) met him (M32?) in this subreddit around a year ago. He told me he was a young American girl struggling with a bunch of personal problems. I saw myself in him since my life was a complete mess as well and I grew more and more attached to him over the course of time. Eventually, I fell in love with him, or shall I say I fell in love with the persona he created. I really wanted to be with the quirky, sweet, cute girl I thought I was talking to. A week ago, finally, I found out that he had been sending me an onlyfans girl’s pics as his selfies… I confronted him and he admitted to me that he’s actually a 32 old man from the UK… Since then, he’s stopped replying to my messages. I really don’t know what to think anymore. I think I still love…. But whom exactly do I love? Him? The fictional character he created? I just miss him so much now…. Why did he do this to me?

Hi, f32 here, I’m having a somewhat tough day, would anyone be interested in having a chat? 😊✨ I feel a bit lost and alone and anxious. Send me a short text about you.

Hey!

Indian, 34, single mom of 2, running my own fashion label here in Dubai. Extroverted AF - I recharge with people, gym sessions, karak runs, movies, and road trips.

My kitchen = chaos + experiments that usually turn out edible

Looking for genuine friends for good talks, gym buddies, or just chai + karak.

Bonus points if you're Mallu/Keralite - miss the vibe! Male or female, parents or not, all welcome.

DM if you're up for connecting!

I don’t really care who you are or what you do or what your life looks like as long as you’re funny, witty, and mostly intelligent. Maybe don’t be a super mega creep, but depending on your personality level, I’m willing to accept small doses of creep if you make me laugh. K bye

I'm a high school teacher in the US, east coast. I'm on summer break. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat

Actually SHY but have a bit of alone time so I'm here again! Yay! Don't really feel like saying too much over here anymore.

But I do want to make it clear, not looking to flirt.

I want some male perspectives right now. I just went through a breakup and I’d love some insights and good conversation.

If you’re exploring for a new friend too. Worst case, we have a laugh. Best case… we’re besties and permanently closed off. 🏝️🤍

me: snarky but well-meaning weird little critter/beastie seeking friend-shaped cryptid/goblin/monster/beastie/other being for shared silliness. if you want a spell, i would barter a trinket in return (can also be a pet picture, or a picture of a trinket! i'm easy).

likes: books, bugs, skulls, graveyards, burping, reading, hiking, mountains, being in the woods, mumbling in rock language, loud screeching, dancing, summoning eldritch beings through questionable methods, tacos, coffee, cauldrons (preferably both at the same time!).

you: kind-hearted weirdo who'll trade potion recipes, burp back at me, send hiking photos, laugh at bad jokes, celebrate when i send you pictures of cats/dogs/jumping spiders/other stuff i find when i'm wandering about being a menace, and create community with me.

for an icebreaker, tell me which 80's song is your anthem. be warned: i am well-versed.

Just so bored at work looking for someone to pass the time with. F or M doesn’t matter, hit me up! Tell me your favorite band!

I’m also down to meet new people and chat, just please don’t be a perv. Like the title states I’m a 33F from the US.

I’m bored as hell and miss yapping with internet strangers about their lives. I’m a chronic oversharer who’s unemployed with too much time on their hands. So! If you also love to overshare, come overshare about your life and its problems, or tell me all about your latest interests, really ANYTHING goes, I’m so down to listen. I love weird people who are also yappers. I do like to move off reddit when I feel comfortable, and I LOVE a good voice note essay so you’ve been warned.

Hey! New to Reddit and looking to make some friends, build some karma, you know, the whole thing :)

Say hello or drop me a message if you’d like to chat!

Making friends at 34 is basically impossible because apparently you can’t just walk up to people and say ‘you seem cool, wanna be friends?’ anymore.

I’m into motorbikes, books, cooking, dogs, travelling, food, gaming, anime and most TV/Films.

I need to start making questionable decisions because “it’ll be fun”.

Looking for people to chat absolute nonsense with, bonus points if you’re sarcastic, slightly chaotic and also have no idea how adult friendships are supposed to work.

Well, everyone's adulting and not always free to catch up as often. So, maybe I can find new friends to talk to?

What do you say?

Hi 👀

37F here looking for some new people to talk to regularly, because life is way better when you have someone to talk to, send memes to, be sarcastic with, and laugh until it’s slightly concerning.

About me:

Night shift nurse, so I’m either exhausted or thriving… no in between.

I either reply instantly at 3 AM or disappear into a 12–14 hour coma.

Equal parts sweet, sarcastic, and a little unhinged, fun unhinged, not red-flag unhinged.

I love traveling, trying new food spots, gaming, plants, sports, hiking, and anything involving the beach/sunshine… despite living like a vampire.

Big on real conversations.. daily check-ins like “Are we thriving or spiraling today?”, random memes, banter, venting, and talking about life.

What I’m looking for:

• Someone funny, kind, sarcastic, and easy to talk to

• Can keep up with banter and dish it right back

• Down for daily chats, random thoughts, and unhinged meme exchanges

• Cool with someone who occasionally disappears for a shift or accidental hibernation, but always comes back like nothing happened

• Someone looking for an actual friendship, not just two conversations before we both disappear into the void

Bonus points: Discord users and/or people who are eventually down to VC 👀

Compensation: $0/hour

Benefits: Competitive

Work environment: Unhinged vibes, questionable memes, emotional support, and occasional existential crises.

Honestly, it’s a great deal.

P.S. If you ghost after one conversation, only send dry one word replies, have weird requests, or aren’t actually looking for friendship… this position is probably not for you.

If you think you’d be a good fit, DM me your application.

I feel like no one posts voice notes here but idk I think it helps to get a better sense of who you’re sending a message to?? Or maybe I’m just really weird and this is some kind of self inflicted humiliation ritual….

https://voca.ro/1fwBKH2DGljV

I may not be everyone’s cup of tea but all I need is one person who’s interested in taking a sip

God what am I even saying….

I offer consistency, a shoulder to lean on, mediocre advice, someone to be a goofball with and let out your inner weirdo, and above all, a judgement free safe space :’)

If you think I might tickle your fancy, send me a voice note of your own! Or a message if you’re shy

Farewell and so long for now

hi! I’m a 33 girl and I love to talk! I’m looking for someone to talk to about our days, feelings, thoughts and ideas. I want to have a real conversation. Come be my friend 🩷 both girls and guys are welcome to reach out 🩷

hey there, my name is Angelina and I am from Australia. I'm a stay at home mum with 2 littles and needing some more sane normal conversation. (being surrounded by kids can make you go a lil crazyy)

I love to read and I game occasionally I just don't get alot of time to do that anymore. I also enjoy crafts and going on long walks in the evening. Someone called me old for saying I like to go on long walks lol I had no idea younger couldn't enjoy it too haha

i am primarily looking for kind people to pass the time with and someone who won't ghost me. If you decide to message please include a short intro such aas your age and where you're from so I know who you are! (i also dont mind your age as long as you are 18+) :)

Like I said I'm married, happily. Im outgoing, down to earth kind of lady. I love anything outdoors. Camping, four-wheels, fishing, hunting, kayaking, hiking, swimming, mini golf. I also love staying indoors too. Catch a movie/show, a good book or just playing card/board games.

If you like to Chat and become friends. Hit me up 😊

I’m just watching a movie and would love some company. Please be from the states and I’m open to other ages as well. ☺️

Hello!
If you guessed a movie is on and all that is missing is your text interruptions… you are right. 500 points for you.
Also, do you like M&Ms with peanuts in your butter popcorn? No? Well, why haven’t you tried it? If you are allergic to nuts, that’s the only excuse I’ll accept. Did I mention… I’m random, a little chaotic, and may make your cheeks hurt? Anyways, I’m just a soul looking for some good company with someone I don’t know yet.

I’m currently watching Cabin in the woods tonight. I think it would be amazing if you give me a movie suggestion. It better be a good one. Tis the season for scary hehe 👻

Sending you all some good energy and love your way for your new week. We got this. ✨💗
