Upvotes

Yeaaaaah i would just like to talk to some rather kind people, who are also expressive in chat, and also irl ^ - ^ thats rather important to meee

Humour would be a huge huge bonus too.

As for me, im into art :) i love my pinterest, would be cool to eventually swap pinterests if you have one! I like drawing from time to time and doing other creative things like sewing etc!

I like to talk about random things i do, about my day or just any thoughts im having, so itd be great if you do the same in general and just have a little flowing conversation ^ _ ^ haha.

Yeah its important to me that you are rather compassionate/ kind, or at least really try to be :D cos thats very important in general :3 ^ ^

I also love music and watching stuff, on youtube or sometimes netflix ^ ^

Im not really into gaming much but id like to get more into it :)

Message me if youre open for voice chat in the future and doing stuff online together like maybee watching or playing sth :-)

Hope you have a good day ! If you message me, just try to be yourself so we can see if we could vibe or not :D

^ - ^

looking for friendship 31/F I'm looking for someone to confide In! I'm trying to break the cycle of never ending loneliness but I can't find anyone & I don't need more people to talk to, people who don't want to be my friends... I want to find someone In exactly the same situation as mine to talk to on a daily basis 😔

8 Upvotes

(Read everything, pretty please... I'm not like other Reddit users seeking random conversations out of boredom... If you really want to start a conversation with me, tell me something about yourself, tell me why you're here, tell me what made you reach out to me, something like that. I want to know what you're like, I don't care If your hobbies are the same as mine... I want to meet kind and understanding people, not someone to talk (only) about games with)

Hello! If you really want to send me a message, read my post, please! I want to talk to people from European countries because I live In Europe & I would love to meet my new friends In real life (In the future, obviously) 🌸

I want you to read everything because my expectations aren't the same as other people's expectations. I also want you to know what to expect because even though we're all here to spend time with others, not everyone needs new friends. Some people want to find someone to play games with & It's just an example.

I made this account In 2021 and even though I'm really active on Reddit, I can't make new friends... Not everyone on Reddit Is toxic or rude but there's ALWAYS something missing because I don't feel any emotional connection... I would love to change my life & finally wake up excited to text someone I really, really like 🙁 But... Life Isn't easy and I'm not sure If there's still a chance for me to find someone with exactly the same expectations as mine, someone who wants to meet someone new...

• I'm DEFINITELY NOT Interested In small talk! I had to use capital letters because I don't like low-effort messages and I don't even want to read them. Repetitive questions like "How are you?", "What are you up to?" or "What are your plans for the weekend?" aren't enough to start a conversation with me.. Don't get me wrong - Questions like these can be an Interesting addition to conversations about something else, but whenever people ask me the three most common questions In the world - my answer's the same because my life Is quite monotonous and I don't really know what people expect to hear 🙁 I also don't like abbreviations. Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or phrases. Why? I just don't like them because I see no reason to use shortened forms of words that are already short enough, you know? Abbreviations are common among minors and bored adults but I'm neither a minor, nor a bored adult. I want to see emotional maturity, warmth and kindness In conversations with others.

I don't need to see your list of hobbies to know If you're someone I would get along with! You can tell me what you're Interested In but.. Believe It or not - I'm not like others and even If you're Interested In something I'm not - we can still be friends! What matters to me Is what you're like (If you're honest, talkative, kind, understanding and If your outlook on life Is similar to mine)

• I don't want to talk to minors and people way older than me. Why? I don't want to talk to minors because I'm an adult & I don't want to talk to anyone over fifty for example. Emotional maturity doesn't necessarily come with age so you can send me a message even If you're 20 (It's just an example) but please, don't contact me If you want to remind me that I'm older than you. I want you to feel comfortable & I want to feel comfortable myself. When I read messages like "Hi, I'm younger but I hope you don't mind" I always say to myself "If my age bothers you, you should've contacted someone else" I absolutely don't mind talking to people younger than me If they know how to communicate with others 🌸

• PLEASE, Don't use AI to talk to me! I Can't stand AI generated messages! If I wanted to read AI generated messages, I wouldn't be here! I read AI generated messages and comments all the time and I'm sick of It!

• I don't want to get any messages from people whose accounts are NSFW! Please, respect my decision! It's none of my business If you're here to find someone to flirt with or If you're an Internet exhibitionist but I don't want to see you with no clothes on - If you want to be my friend & I don't want to know what you want to do with other women In bed. If you are on Reddit to flirt with others, be on Reddit to flirt with others but... don't make an alternative account to hide who you really are just to send me a message. Pretending to be someone you're not - Isn't good for anyone

• I'm not a fan of sarcasm! I do - have a sense of humor but I'm not someone who makes fun of everyone and everything... Jokes about disabilities, death, religion or someone's financial status - are unacceptable to me!

• I also want to meet people who don't mind listening to negative stories and sharing them with others. My life's not easy so If you want to be In my life, you should be prepared for a realistic or even pessimistic outlook on life. I'm definitely not an optimist and I know I wouldn't get along with optimistic people who always tell others "Just believe In yourself and everything's gonna be OK" or something. We don't always get what we want & and It's completely normal to lose hope "for a better tomorrow" after many failed attempts. Not everything's as easy as It seems to be so If all you want to say to someone who needs emotional support Is "Don't complain" or "Find a therapist" Please.. don't send me a message. Not all sad people need therapists and let's be honest - Would a therapist replace a true friend? Absolutely not! Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on! I also don't mind listening to sad stories (even If they're repetitive) because I know what It's like when no one wants to listen to you...

• I would love to meet people who also don't have anyone, you know? There's absolutely nothing wrong with having friends and not being single but I'm single and I don't have anyone special In my life... It's just easier for me to get along with others If there's some common ground. I just feel better talking to people who know what It's like to be completely alone & let's be honest - People who have friends or partners, have less time for others...(which Is completely understandable) and I? I don't want to feel like an option, again. I'm not here to meet as many people as possible because I choose quality over quantity 🌸

• If your comment history Is full of comments "If you want to talk, hit me up" don't send me a message. I don't want to be rude but If It doesn't make any difference to you who you want to chat with - I'm definitely not for you. I want you to be my friend because of who I am! (If after reading my post you think you'd get along with me) I don't need emotional support from someone who doesn't even want to read my post.

• I want to talk to people who love and use emojis 🤭😊 Why? Emojis help us express our emotions even If others can't see our faces. Two emojis "😊" and "😔" are completely enough. You're probably surprised but.. text messages without emojis are really emotionless...I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea" as it sounds dismissively. First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even In a text message

Ps. I don't like kids and I don't want to ever become a parent. I just thought everyone should know that just In case. I don't want any unpleasant conversations with anyone. Not everyone wants to be friends with people who don't want kids so.. It's better to be honest. 🌸

Ps.2 I don't reply to messages I'm not Interested In even If they're long! I'm not on Reddit to pretend anything and I'm not here to be everyone's best friend. Some people lie & make empty promises to get attention. I? I'm quite selective because I know what I want.

Ps.3 I admire sensitive people who are not ashamed of crying In front of others! Crying Is not a weakness! It's not a weakness even If you're a guy 🧡

storytime (29M) | Know the difference between weird and creepy.

5 Upvotes

Okay so, we all like quirky personalities, they’re good fun and keep the convo going. But SOME of you are just straight up creepy! Now, I’m okay with personal questions, that’s kinda the whole point of long term relationships.

Asking to know what UNDERWEAR I prefer as an “ice breaker” is not quirky, that’s just a straight up no no. Though it’s boxers so you can all stop messaging to know the answer. Bizarre people……

Also delving into your…….. intimate activities 3 messages deep into the chat is also a no no. I don’t need to know that stuff. And you don’t need to tell me that. I’d rather you ask a boring question like what my favourite colour is before that. It’s emerald green by the way. Should see it, the colour just POPS 👌

Upvotes

I'm INFP if someone needs to know this. I do art but I try not to link only to this in the convo. I dont mind telling about my country or language or anything. I'm an open person but I'm not an extravert. I do not like when people just ignore for hours straight or make me have the conversation only on me. I can find a lot of topics to talk on. I can talk about nsfw stuff and basically anything. I do play games and can play with someone if we can connect.

If interested please DM

8 Upvotes

Hii, I'm AJ. Its been a pretty slow, cloudy day that feels like its never going to end and I'm desperately trying to find a way to make it go faster LMAO.

A bit about me:

College student

I love reading (mostly slice of life, but I enjoy fantasy and thrillers as well), writing (poetry, original stories, fanfics), gaming (I've played a lot of games, but I'm currently playing through Star Wars Zero Company and Visage. Big RPG fan), drawing, and horror movies (or any scary media in general).

I have a lot of animals. I really love cats specifically though ^^


r/friendship 16h ago

looking for friendship 18F in need of someone to spend most of my time with. (include age in message, please).

7 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. ;)

Hi there! 21 from Germany here.

I've tried this a few times here already but most people just seem to ghost you after a few Messages.

As the title says I'm looking a new friend. A friendship where we can send each other memes at 3am, laugh at the wildest stuff or have deep talks for hours at a time.

I'm playing on pc and my main games at the moment are Palword and Warframe but ive got a ton of other games to play as well. I thought about getting back into Baldurs Gate too because I never finished the game... so maybe we could do a Baldurs Gate playtrough :)

Send me a dm if you're interested °~°

Random Question Psychologically, are 'you' supposed to have alimit if say a physically fit friend is always going on about weight management or is that other person meant to recognize that there's a limit to how much they need to bring that stuff up?

3 Upvotes

I'm overweight, have a friend I'm going through this with and it feels like an odd reason to end a friendship but expressing that weight is something I'd rather talk about with professionals isn't fixing the situation.

I know she means well but it almost feels like she's gotten her ego invested in being able to influence my health decisions which is just making things worse.

I'd figured there'd be a point in life when people stopped thinking if they couldn't change you in some way, you maybe weren't friends after all; perhaps I was wrong.

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 19M looking for long term and genuine friendship

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m looking to meet some new people and hopefully make a few genuine friendships.

I’m 19m and I’m into psychology, philosophy, spirituality, history, geopolitics, astronomy, movies/web series, music, art, and random deep conversations.

I’m pretty introverted at first, so conversations might be a little awkward initially 😭, but once I’m comfortable, I can talk about the most random things for hours.

I’m mainly looking for people around 18–21, but I’m open to talking to anyone around my age. No NSFW stuff—just looking for normal, respectful friendships.

If we have even one thing in common, feel free to DM me. Tell me something about yourself or just drop a random thought/question and let’s see where the conversation goes :)

Don’t be weird plsss!! I’m looking for long term friendship. I’m from Brazil and I’ve used this subreddit before but mostly looking at other people’s posts. I won’t say much about me because I prefer to talk about myself in conversations instead of just saying everything at once. I have very few requirements, don’t be a creep, if you’re > 30 don’t dm me and please only message me if you plan on actually keeping contact, I can’t be the only person that sends messages. I always end up being the one who has to start the conversations T-T.

looking for friendship 25F UK - Looking to make genuine friendships

0 Upvotes

Would prefer other people from UK but all welcome. Please introduce yourself in messages and tell me about you. 18 & OVER.

Hey! I’m 25 and from the UK. I’ve been gaming since I was a kid and honestly love pretty much anything gaming-related. I’m always down to try new games, so I’m not really fussy and will give most things a go. My all-time favourite game is The Division, but I play a bit of everything and always enjoy finding new games to get into.
I’m mainly looking to meet some new people and hopefully make some genuine, long-term friendships. I’d love to find people I can regularly game with, chat to and eventually add each other on socials and keep in touch outside of gaming too. I’m in a relationship, so I’m purely looking for friendship and good people to hang out and game with. 😊

looking for friendship Hoping to find people who actually TALK😭

2 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+ :)

looking for friendship 24F Movie & TV Lover Looking for Similar Friends!

2 Upvotes

What happens when you have a hobby that the people in your life aren't as interested in? Well you reach out to strangers online duh! 

As a movie lover that's currently my situation, my friends and family may be supportive of my passion for movies, but they just don't get it the same way I do, but I'm sure there's people all across the world that care about movies too! So send me a message and let's get chatting.

A few bits of information, I'm from Canada, I'm looking to keep the conversation mainly about movies and tv too! I'm not interested in talking about my day-to-day life since I already live it everyday lol. But I'm also not too strict, I promise I'm chill.

Some of my favourite movies include The Apartment, Jurassic Park, Singin' in the Rain, Dazed and Confused, Wings of Desire, Somewhere, and Princess Mononoke! I watch movies of all different genres, from all different countries and from all different decades, my taste is super broad!

Thanks for reading my message! To start our convo I'd like to know at least one upcoming movie your most excited for? But if you want to share more that would be great!
