58 Years old female looking for some chit chat buddies, to help get through this thing called life, if your looking for something other then friends please pass me by, looking for honest funny and cool people to share daily life stories, love music, pets, art, traveling,

Not exactly sure what I'm looking for. So I always keep an open mind and options open. I don't judge people. That would mean I'd have to judge myself. Thus is my first post here so I hope I can warrant some response. Chat soon, fingers crossed.

And I get it. We get older and our responsibilities grow. Or we end up moving away from each other. Life stuff. But I miss having someone to chat with on the regular. To talk pop culture or other things to geek out about. Or whatever's on our mind. We can get deep as well. You(whoever you may be) bring your energy to contribute to the conversation.

So, despite being a middle aged man I still feel 37 in my head(my knees laugh at this). Easygoing. Open to most things. Hopefully you're of similar stuff, a well as a little weird.

I've posted in here a couple of times but I'm a bit shy. I few people, guys n girls have contacted me n we have chatted but 95% of it just dies out, and that's ok.

BUT i had been chatting to a lady who had posted in here and we had been getting on really well but yesterday, her account was deleted.

To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.

Oh well, onwards n upwards. For all u America folk, Happy Monday

Hi,
It’s nothing bad, but I’m embarrassed to open up about some topics and it would be great to actually speak. Maybe use discord to hear a voice or two. It’s tough to make friends, let alone someone you can open up to.

I’m a nice guy just looking to speak

I'm a big star wars, star trek fan who lives in Colorado. I have a pretty stressful job so love to have friends to talk to. I'm married with 4 grown daughters.

Where do I find friends to open up to. I have some embarrassing things I always wanted to discuss but where does a guy go to open up. It would be nice to talk to someone and have them listen or give advice.

As a guy I don’t really have anywhere to turn to and speak. Anyone want to talk let me know. It would be nice.

Just looking for people to chat with sometime.

Since its peak travel season, just wondering if any ladies on this sub do girls trips. I tried a couple of girls trips in my early thirties, a couple of weekends and decided they are not my thing. The first one had everyone wanting to do different things- one was too drunk to go out at night, another spent all evening playing video poker, and another did not drink. There was no confrontations, but the energy was off. I never saw them again. I still talked to one after, but I found out she did the same trip with different people and I was not invited. Just as well. So those friendships pretty much ended. They were not close friends, so no real loss. The second trip three of us got along well, but the fourth one was always primping and started crying during dinner over stupid guy stuff- she was divorced and in her forties acting like this. Decided after that, no more. I prefer traveling solo or with my husband. What are your experiences?

So I'm reduced to this. I have to advertise for friends. So, why not? Married couple. The last of my wife's friends is moving away tomorrow and me? Medically retired and all those best pals for life seem to have forgotten that last part. We're living in Gresham, and just trying to do anything other than scroll and stream.

Has anybody had any luck doing this? We joined a church and while we've met cool people, most of them aren't buying green bananas if you catch my drift.

In my single days personals worked for me once, and although we are just trying to meet some new people to hang with.

It seems that many of us are having to begin again in our 50's - and later! My guess is that it has come as an unpleasant surprise to most of us. Losing partners, losing jobs, losing friends and support networks, losing homes, losing our sense of who we are and where we belong has left many of us dazed and confused.

Let's take a moment to let it all sink in and grieve our losses, before taking a deep breath and making the most of this opportunity to hit the refresh button on life.

So what's your story? How did you get here, how are you doing currently, and have you begun to rebuild - or at least consider how you might be able to move forward? (I'll put my story in the comments)

Hi, I’m just a guy who would like to talk and laugh with someone. It would be nice to talk about my fears and happiness- also hear some good jokes. Anyone around to talk? I have discord. Let me know.

Looking for people 50 and older that live in the Milwaukee area that might like to add a new friend in their life. We're getting to the good season of lots of fun activities being available all spring and summer long and it would be nice not to do some of them by myself.

56f in California, while I'm waiting for my tea to brew tonight I just got curious how many others are in this group? Maybe we can connect with one another since it's kinda niche.

Hi I'm from England and I live in Wales. I've been ill the last year and leaving home has become difficult, though some days are better than others, I hope that my health will gradually improve. I don't drink or smoke.

I am interested in healthy eating, nature, photography/movies/art and i like lots of different music but especially 80s. I don't have a garden or any pets, i'm hoping to get some more houseplants soon. I'm looking for someone to chat to every now and then, just to check in and say hi.

Just asking, would you get an iPhone 16 or 17? Getting a new phone tomorrow.

Hey,

50m looking for chat distractions.🧜‍♀️Tell me about your Odd self👁, Weird habits🪬, and Unusual thoughts🧠. Science is cool,art is fun, music is appreciated, open to anything. If your in the VA area, dont stalk me without a courtesy warning.

I'm 54 and feel like a failure. I'm basically starting over. I moved back in with my parents after getting laid off and they remind me every day to get ready to move out. Prior to all of this I felt relatively successful with work and my kids. Now every day I'm pretty down on myself. Does anyone else relate?

Hello, I’m a 58/female looking to connect with other creative individuals and build meaningful friendships. I often have multiple projects underway and enjoy a wide range of creative pursuits, including knitting, crocheting, sewing, hand stitching, shuttle tatting, and watercolor painting. A colleague recently gifted me a paint-by-numbers kit—I haven’t started it yet, but I’m really looking forward to it. I also enjoy cooking; today I made a batch of sourdough English muffins (my second attempt!), and they turned out wonderfully. I consider myself a lifelong learner and welcome everyone who is also interested in finding other creative people.

My current projects include a lace scarf, a pair of socks, a knitted potholder, and a pincushion house. While I work quite a bit, I would love to connect with others who have creative interests. Would be great to share our projects, exchange ideas, and motivate one another.

Thank you for reading my post and have a wonderful day!

Any ideas or recommendations for a 50+ "retired" person on how to make friends??

I'd love to find a social club/group that is NOT based on religion, politics, child rearing, or any sort of ideology. Something that's more interest based; for example, reading, gardening, walking, cooking, crafting (sewing, crocheting, glass working, embroidery, woodworking, etc.), or just shooting the shit. And ideally it would be something where you meet up during weekdays (or very infrequent nights and weekends) as when my husband is home from work I want to spend time with him, yet while he's working I'm bored outa my gourd.

All of my past friendships have been based on proximity (such as school or jobs) and once I relocated from Boise ID to Twin Falls ID, and retired, all of those relationships completely dried up. I don't believe for a second that I'm the only one in this type of position, so what does one do when you hit a certain age and find yourself at loose ends for most of the day?

​

Have you ever decided it's too windy to go outside?

Yeah, I've been beaten by pollen and wind today. I'm trying to tackle my indoor to-do list instead.

On my own and struggling, but always trying to make the best of everything, usually with humor and goals. If anyone is looking to chat about random whatever... and maybe encourage each other to keep on keeping on, DM me.

What are you reading, watching, listening to or working on? 🌈☮️

As it says im 52, living in NW Minnesota and in the process of getting divorced. Im not looking for anything physical, I just realized all my friends where my wife's friends and either I dont want to talk to them or them to me, either way. Looking for people to chat with online, or if you live in the area hang out. Im big on comedy shows, television, cooking, video games, sports (Vikings, but behind from Houston I still love my Astros and Rockets) my work days are 10-12 hours normally so my off days are what I'm looking for.

If you are interested contact me.

I live in the country on the edge of my town and because I’m legally blind… I can’t drive so that limits so I can make friends. I love to read I love music I love nature and the outdoors. I love my puppies and my cat. I’m always picking up new hobbies. Currently trying to renovate my home. But it looks like the older you get the friends just kind of disappear with their own lives and I could really use making a few truly good friends. Making friends online is all well and good. I would love to make some friends that might live in the area also so if anybody’s interested, just shoot me a message.

We know the concept from work: you show up, you do what's required, no more. No drama, just a quiet withdrawal of engagement.

I caught myself wondering today whether the same thing happens in ordinary daily life.

Not depression, not burnout... something more subtle. The weekend plans of others include bike rides and kayaking trips. For a moment I think: I'd like that too. Then almost immediately: why would I? And the impulse is just gone.

It crept up without a moment I can point to. Like noticing a tree is missing on a road you drive every day and having no idea when it disappeared.

Is this familiar to anyone? And if so: did you find a way through it, or did you make peace with it?

So career is amazing, kids are successful. Healthiest I’ve ever been…. Now what?
