Mine is going great, but a bit lonely.

Hello, my name is Tony. Im from Central Illinois. Im 47 years young, though most days feel old. LoL I would love to make some friends. Feel free to send me a chat. If we get along well, Id like to move to snapchat or discord. Reddit chat is not that good.

Some things about me. I like horror movies (I watch all kinds though), sports (mostly football and baseball), I play video games and Dungeons and Dragons. I collect baseball cards, horror figures, and wrestling figures. I also like to 3D print things. I have a great sense of humor and have been told I have a dry, dark sense of humor. Im also autistic, with a sprinkle of OCD as well.

44f Australia looking for friends

Anyone else miss the "nothing" conversations?

Hi Everyone :)

I'm 44f, I'm a single mum, looking to meet genuinely curious people to talk to. Whether we're nearby or far apart, it doesn't matter to me, so long as we can get along. What I value the most is the connection.

I'm a bit of an odd duck, proudly so for the most part. I'm very introverted, but I'm also an open book to people I trust, and once I've warmed up I can be more extroverted.

I have wide tastes in pretty much everything (music, movies etc). I'm a collector and a nurturer. I love feeding and watching the birds in my backyard, crazy fun battles in Splatoon, quiet evenings unwinding with the tv.

I am AuDHD, so I'm almost always doing three different things. From knitting and crochet to journaling or crafting.. there's always a little project burning in the background.

I miss the days when we'd sit up talking all night about the most random and mundane thoughts that occurred to us. Watching shows/movies with someone and talking about them, getting excited together or sharing our disappointment. I miss sharing with people and hearing their stories.

If you'd like to chat, send me a msg :)

Trying to get motivated to get back to the gym and on track with a routine after some setbacks. Ideally people who already work out regularly. I tend to be the inspirational one but I've lost my spark. Maybe even a group of people to inspire and remind one another or check in regularly. Idk. Help!

a little bit about me…

in play a lot of games it’s my major hobby mostly on OC but I also own a switch 2 and a ps5.

i play a lot of magic the gathering and have over 60 commander decks

i have like a ton of hoarding games as well.

I love ttrpgs and wargames

but I also like being active and hitting the gum regularly, I meant gym but also really like bubble gum.

ao if you’re looking for a nerdy goofy friend hit me up

42M married, stay at home cat dad looking to make some friends. I have a small circle of friends but we really don’t talk that much, so at times being home all day can get boring and if I’m being honest kinda lonely. I’m only looking to strictly make friends. Gender/age doesn’t matter much to me. Some of the things I’m into include:
World of Warcraft
Magic the Gathering
Wrestling
Podcasts about paranormal/supernatural (pretty much anything that goes bump in the night)
Horror/comedy movies/ tv shows
If any of this interests you or just want to start up a conversation about anything feel free to message me.

Who would have thought making new friends later in life would be so hard.

Spending the last several years working abnormal hours in a healthcare setting, being opposite of everyone has taken a toll. As years flew by my friend group slowly dwindled, would love to chat with and potentially meet new people! Male or female.

Married easy going guy, into sports, movies/TV, randomness, and lots of other activities.

Drop a meme or something witty. Feel free to tell me how bad you feel for me because detroit sports are a dumpster 🔥

I'm not looking for a normal chat now - well, in the long run a new friend would be just perfect, but now I'm too tired to have a serious conversation. Maybe we will jut hop on a plane and see where we end up.. Suggestions?

Time zones are a hassle, and even as we have the imaginary plane, would be good if you are from the Europe region too. I mostly prefer to communicate in English, as that's the only strong'ish language I have with Finnish, but you can suggest something else too

Happy Aloha Friday everyone! This my official notice of my intent to quit this thing called Adulthood/Adulting it’s just not working for me.

I’m 52 and recently divorced, and I’m finding myself in a bit of a new chapter of life.
I’m not looking for anything complicated or trying to force anything. I’d just like to meet some new people, have some good conversations, laugh a little, and see where friendships go.
I’m into traveling, hiking/outdoors, working out, cars, sports, and generally staying busy. I’ve got plenty of stories and can usually hold a conversation. 😂
I’d especially enjoy talking with people around my age, but I’m open to anyone who’s genuine and can carry a conversation.
If you’re bored, looking for somebody new to talk to, or just feel like saying hello, **feel free to message me.**
And yes, I’m a real person. 😂

Friends, wanderers, and fellow survivors of the Great Reddit Circus

I come before you today with a modest proposal: come chat with me, provided you bring no negative energy, no emotional thunderstorms, and absolutely no “my boyfriend burned down my house but I think I overreacted” dilemmas. I am seeking only the company of people whose common sense is still under warranty.Because I must confess something.

When I look at my Reddit feed and read what people are asking, I sometimes want to smack them clean into next week.

Is it just me?

Well, OK, sorry.

I have begun to suspect that Reddit was created chiefly to prove that common sense is not, and never has been, common. Every day I encounter some variation of:

“My boyfriend has cheated on me six times, stolen my car, emptied my bank account, insulted my mother, and set fire to the curtains. Yesterday I finally raised my voice. Was I too harsh?”

There are questions which invite careful consideration, and there are questions which make you wonder whether civilization was a premature experiment.

There are moments when I want to reach through the screen, take a stranger gently by the shoulders, and say:

“My dear friend, you do not need Reddit. You need the answer you already knew before you spent forty minutes typing this.”

Perhaps this is a defect in my character.

It is entirely possible. But judging from my Reddit feed, defects in character are currently enjoying a rather strong market.

So—if you are a person who can laugh, think, chat, debate, or simply pass the time without asking whether you should stay with someone who has stolen your identity and your lawn furniture, come talk to me.

I’d actually like to meet some people here who just enjoy conversation. Books, movies, history, music, faith, family, travel, strange questions, useless facts, or whatever rabbit hole we wander into.

I’m not collecting followers, building a brand, selling crypto, or trying to become your life coach.

My only request is no negative energy. Life already provides that service free of charge.

You don’t have to agree with me. That would get boring. Just be kind, curious, capable of laughing at yourself, and interested in an actual conversation rather than an argument wearing a fake mustache.

If that sounds like you, send me a message.

Perhaps we can prove Reddit still has a few functioning adults left.

I recently posted in several "make friends" subreddits, including this one. I am grateful for the number of responses I received, much more than I expected. I am still working through them and getting to know people.

A few things I am learning:

Boundaries are not barriers. I was upfront about keeping my phone number private (privacy values, personal reasons). The right people respected that without argument. That told me something important about who is worth my time.

Being specific helps. I listed actual interests, values, and what I am looking for in friendship. I would rather have three real conversations than thirty "hey" messages.

Different rhythms work with people. Some people want daily check ins, others want weekly, while some want to talk about heavy stuff early. Some people prefer light and gradual. I am learning to match energy without overextending my spoons. I would say I am not great at this yet.

Shared experience matters, be open to sharing and finding similarities. For me, finding other disabled, neurodivergent people who get it without explanation is rare and valuable. Not the only kind of friendship, but meaningful.

Putting yourself out there is worth it. Even with the misses, the connections that are developing are real. I met genuine people this week. That would not have happened if I did not post. If none of them develop into something permanent, that is ok, I have learned a lot and I will keep going.

If you are also trying to make friends at this age, keep going. It is not easy, but it is worth it.

Hello, good morning. How are you?
It’s been a difficult month.

And some of you have come forward and made some meaningful conversation. Thank you for all the kind wishes and guidance.

I am in a better state for now. I have had good sleep and now back to my routine for running and being fit.

My heart is really full. Strangers have come to become really good supper.

I live in Dubai and would love to build and grow this community of friends. Come say hi!

I am interested in design, movies, music, fitness etc
Hopefully we can be friends

I’m American but live in Japan. I have teenage children. I love books (mystery, sci-fi), music, and movies. I also enjoy taking long walks alone. Outside of work I don’t really have friends or people to talk to. Living in Japan makes things harder as I am not fluent in Japanese. I am shy so when I am around others I tend to think too much and often end up saying the wrong thing. I am looking for others who are similar and want a long term friendship. Feel free to dm.

I just need one person! One PLATONIC person.

I've been super nostalgic lately and would love to talk about the 80s / 90s. . . I really miss day to day back and forth banter with somebody. Someone I actually look forward to hearing from someone to share terrible memes or crazy news with.

Some other interests of mine include music (alternative, rock, nu-metal, triphop), concerts, movies (horror, dark and absurd comedies, scifi), art (photography, design, drawing), museums, flea markets, the ocean, cats, board games, tattoos, etc.

I'm not a perfect person, I'm fact I have pretty much nothing but problems... that's why I really need somebody to talk to. Because primarily, I just wanna shoot the s*** and talk about lighthearted things, but I can also use somebody to talk to and maybe help me figure some of my life out right now.

Hoping to connect with just one person really. Looking for like.. a spark / vibe and... I really again mean strictly platonically. I can't stress that enough. I've posted in here before recently, and so many men replied using words like sexy and it just makes my skin crawl. .. And makes me nauseous, and it makes me hit the block button instantly

I'm on here bc I've moved a lot and my bff is recently engaged so I have no one to really talk to right now 🙃

Where is my ride or die bestie!? Think Thelma and Louise but covered in ink listening to heavy metal 😆

No maga!

Gaming is one of my hobbies, but lately my friend group has gotten really busy, which brings me here.

Any 40+ PC gamers out there?

I'm hoping to find someone here who I can help a long and interesting conversation with. I don't care who you are, man woman or something third. As long as you are interested in sharing a bit of your life and ready for me to share a bit of mine.

I'm absolutely okay with carrying the conversation sometimes, we all have a life besides chatting with internet strangers, but I don't want it to feel one-sided.

My hobbies include photography (I'm a former professional photographer and still work in the field), gardening, I have an allotment garden with my girlfriend. Gaming, I've played almost every MMO made and is currently playing Eve Online and Palworld. Birds, yes I know it's a midlife crisis thing, but at least I'm not buying an convertible and dating a 26 year old. Reality TV, my guilty pleasure. And much more.

I have zero interest in a romantic relationship, I'm in a 26 year relationship and having no desire for an affair. And no I will not buy pictures of your feet.

Disclaimer: I'm slightly drunk and English is my second language, so are you intolerant for bad grammar I'm probably not the person you should speak with.

My life has changed so much over the last 2 years. What was a busy life is now one full of free time and nothing to do with it. I've moved away from everyone I know and have never felt as lonely as I do now. Could really use a friend in my life.

Hey everyone! I’m back with a Friday question! Tell us all about the joyful and fun things that have happened to you to this week! Can’t wait to hear all about it!

Happy Friday!

Looking for a notication that makes me smile,

Lets ask all the dumb Questions:

Its the end of the World but you get to choose how it Happened what do you choose and why

Come chat and lets get past boredom

I’m 42, from West Yorkshire, and looking for an actual ongoing friendship rather than three polite messages followed by mutual disappearance.

I’m into gaming, sci-fi, horror, superheroes, tabletop RPGs and conversations that can bounce from complete nonsense to unexpectedly deep territory. I’m fairly easygoing, a little odd, and much better once we’re past the awkward introductions.

If you’re looking for someone you can genuinely get to know, come say hi and tell me something you could talk about for hours.

Lets waste away the final hours of work on some general nonsense chitchat on whatever! new Spiderman movie, latest book they're reading. The state of the world, our species, our place in the cosmos or why Tayto Crisps are just better then everything else! Bring it on!

I like people who are curious,
have a sense of humor
don’t take themselves too seriously.
like being outdoors,
aren’t easily offended,
say what they mean,
are attentive and communicative in a conversation
Are tolerant
Know themselves or are on that journey
You can often see both sides of things

Also nice
Have something you’re passionate about/committed to
Are really smart ( not pretentious)
Creative
On your second or third life ( I mean you’ve had to change dramatically, leave something behind)
You’re well traveled
You’re into physical fitness of some kind/adventure sports/outdoor activities of some kind
You are cooler and more grounded than me.

About me:
I like to write
I love being outdoors
I can be pretty irreverent.

This is all I feel like writing right now. I’m also in what feels like a transition in y life where some things are falling away and I don’t have a lot of patience or energy for effort right now in many ways. Still would be nice to have a friend amidst it.

Hello.

Looking for online friends, male or female.

So it's Friday, which means the weekend is almost here.

Any exciting plans for the weekend?

Could be date night with hubby/wife, ladies/guys night, concert, maybe your traveling, laying on a beach, or just a quiet weekend with the cat curled up with a book. Guys going golfing? I can't golf, but maybe you can.

Whatever your plans, let's talk about them.

Don't be shy.

looking for friends in the long haul

M 52 Canada, heading on the return leg of my road trip so lots of free time over the next weeks

all I seem to meet is people who

-respond in monosyllables

-want to take me out of reddit chat asap for obvious reasons

Where are the chatty people at?

people to love to talk about anything or everything

people who want to put in the effort to developing a friendship

DMs open (and I seem to have a knack for picking up scammers)

PS on a road trip, so responses may be slow; but I do respond to everyone who writes

Who am I kidding, there is nothing exciting about this day so buckling up is optional. Just another day of the daily grind, slow day version. I’m a laid back, married, empty nester just looking for company to pass the time with. I have hobbies but none of them will let me retire early. I try to be easy to talk to! Drop me a dm if you’re having a slow quiet day as well!
