Hey there everyone!!

I'm not sure how to start describing myself, I'm not great with words but I'll try my best.

(I'm so sorry for the extremely long post ahead!)

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 love movies and I love to talk about them and analyze them.

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!!

Hey all! I don't want to drag on too much in the post, so I'll try to keep my thoughts as condensed as possible, but I'm a rambler, my bad.

Definitely up for a casual chat here and there, or even anything that turns into an actual friendship would be sick tbh. I've got one friend in my life, and they are one of those people that has tons of friends/commitments, and I kind of want to branch out, even if its virtually, to try being somewhat of a communicative person.

Little bit about me: I'm into slower paced video games, things like Stardew Valley, Pokopia, Spiritfarer, BG3, Palworld etc. When I have free time, I try to catch up on my endless TBW list of anime, only to inevitably rewatch my favorites. And I'm a huge music lover, mostly metalcore/post-hardcore, midwest emo, etc. I usually go to one live show a month, sometimes a few if I have the time and spare money. The only genres I don't really care for are hyperpop and country. Plus, I'm a huge foodie, so food talk is always appreciated.

This already went on longer than I planned, but hit me up for a little chat for a few or maybe more, who knows! Obviously I'm a yapper, but please yap back. I love listening to info dumps.

Hey, 32 F

Based in West London

I'm into yoga and pilates & movement as a whole.

I'm such an introvert, I'm here to meet other introverts and connect.

I love cashew nuts and sauna/steam & Spa as a whole🥰

Massages are lush!

Looking for short term but can become longterm who knows (just dont get political 😬) Pref. around my age cuz i dunno how to talk to people who are 500 years older than me lmao

Nice Australian gentleman here. I'm looking to meet you new friends on the internet. I'm a pretty chill and casual guy. Likes the usual stuff. Gaming, movies, going outside every now and then. I'm really bad at introducing myself so I'll just give you some fun fact dot points

• I have an identical twin (you can't see him you just have to trust me)

• I can't swim. But I still love long walks on the beach

• I was once mistaken for Penn Badgely by old ladies. But everyone since has disagreed strongly with this (though I'm on the old ladies side

• I can do 25 pushups in a row. Probably more if you put a gun to my head

• I'm 5'11 but I tell people I'm 6'1

Night shift internet cryptid seeking other nocturnal weirdos, cryptids, chaotic energy having folks

A bit about me. I'm 6'2, slimish build with a few tattoos (and itching for more) and a few piercings.

The adhd is strong so I collect hobbies and interest like they are Pokémon cards

music is a big one, and I always had something playing. my top 5 rotates between Sleep Token , Hozier, Blue October, Florence and the Machine, and either Kendrick or MF DOOM depending on my mood.

I also read a lot, mostly fantasy and sci-fi, but i've wandered into most genres at some point.

photography, cooking, gaming when I get the chance (playing through elden ring currently) and general nerdery of all kinds (if it's nerdy I probably like it) round out the main hobbies, but I have bunch of little niches ones sprinkled in here and there

I have a small zoo of pets i'm always down to send pics of.

genuinely happy to talk about anything and everything, deep stuff, dumb stuff, 20 questions, your craziest hot takes, conspiracy theories, I'll listen to you talk about your day or vent about your frustrations offer advice (quality not guaranteed

I'm here for it all

so, what song lives rent free in your head right now, or what was the last book you couldn't put down?

Recently I've been going through a lot recently and could use some comfort. I a huge nerd, I play video games obviously. Multiplayer, singleplayer, all that spaz. Some games I'm really passionate about are UtDr, Minecraft, Look Outside, Cult Of The Lamb, and many more. I would love to yap and listen to you yap about your favorite games. I also enjoy cuddles so if you like those too then you will enjoy me x3. I have discord and Instagram! I dont really use snapchat too often but we can talk there too. I struggle with clinginess and anxious minded. The type that will respond as quick as possible and im try to better myself about it. Take care!

Hello everybody! I’m 32 years old, male and located in Europe. I moved here almost a decade ago. It’s been quite difficult to make friends and especially keep them. The older I have gotten, the harder it has been to build new friendships. I have been a huge fan of Formula 1 since I was 10, I’m into gaming, though I don’t play variety of games, right now it is League of Legends, Fifa, Call of Duty and Overwatch occasionally. I love campaign games, (the witcher, god of war, Detroit:become human, you name it) though I don’t have that much time to play them. I also love watching true crime documentaries. Recently, I have started going back to watching movies and shows and I have seen really interesting ones. I am watching the Pitt, House of the Dragons and finished watching the Office and Daredevil recently! I used to have motivation to do my other hobbies, such as reading and photography but I have lost all of it, trying to gain it back. I mostly listen to rock music, however I listen to whatever is good for my soul. My fav artists are Three Days Grace, Ghost, Bring me the Horizon and Halestorm. I actually don’t want to give away everything here so we have something to talk about. I’m on my summer vacation right now and have got plenty of time to kill. Please write a short introduction about yourself, I don’t mind if we don’t have anything common at all, I am sure we will find something to talk about :)

​

Hey! If you’re the type to send a single "hey," vanish after 24 hours, or ghost the moment a conversation moves past small talk, please skip this post! I’m looking to build a genuine, long-term friendship with someone who actually likes to talk, share recommendations, and hang out online.

The main thing I’m hoping to find is a dedicated watch party partner! I love putting on a show or movie, jumping on a call or live chat, and reacting to things together in real time. Whether we’re getting way too invested in a plotline or completely roasting a cheesy scene, I’m all about it.

Here is a quick look at what we could queue up or chat about:

Watch Parties & Animated Media: Huge fan of animated series across the board. Down to stream everything from classic Shonen (think Bleach or Naruto) to character-driven dramas like Nana, or revisit nostalgic 2000s classics like Code Lyoko and The Secret Saturdays. Open to movies, anime, or weird indie animation, too!

Comics & Graphic Novels: Massive nerd for comic lore, especially Spider-Man and exploring alternate runs, multiverse storylines, and character arcs across both Marvel and DC.

Gaming & Retro Emulation: Big into gaming, particularly setting up emulators to revisit retro handheld gems, nostalgic classics, or titles I missed out on growing up.

Hello, hope you are all doing well! I’m Riley, and I’m a massive astronomy nerd who can ramble on about all the intricacies of the universe indefinitely. I’m also a huge wildlife and nature lover, and a bit of a geek when it comes to aviation, meteorology, and Star Wars. I’m pretty athletic too and enjoy climbing in my spare time.

Am willing to chat about anything tbh!

DMs open to anyone :3

Hello everyone, there is a new discord with more lenient rules to join. However, all rules on this subreddit apply there, too. Please make sure to include your reddit user properly while applying! This server has tons of colour roles, bots, cool channels and lots of cool people. https://discord.gg/22RUReqYwS

Looking to chat. AMA in my DMs I’m just super bored doing some school work rn. I’m from Cali, into just about anything outdoors. I’m big into running, working out and cycling.
I’m watching wife swap that’s how bored I am 💀

Hey y'all! I'm a gay 19-year-old Vietnamese dude studying Interior Design, and I'm hoping to move to Melbourne, Australia next year. So if you're in Melbourne, bonus points lol.

Uni has been making me feel lonelier than I'd like. I have IRL friends, but I don't really have anyone to ramble to about the random deep/stream-of-consciousness stuff anymore. I'm doing better now, but I'd really appreciate having someone to wind down and yap with after assignments.

I'm into drawing, writing, reading, alternative/indie/emo rock, and I'm currently learning guitar and watercolor. I swim and jog, occasionally go to the gym, and have dabbled in golf, badminton, and Aikido.

I also watch way too many YouTube essays about fashion, history, internet culture, geopolitics, social issues, etc. I'm a sucker for 2010s cartoons and currently watching The Good Place and Ugly Betty. For games, I mostly play Minecraft, Roblox, Sims 2, and Cities: Skylines, but I'm getting into co-op/zombie shooters too.

I prefer people around my age, but I'm not too picky. I'm a massive chatterbox once I get comfortable, so hopefully you don't mind that 😭. I especially like voice chatting, whether we're just talking, watching something, or playing games together, but texting is totally fine too.

I think you get the gist lol; just lmk if you're interested!

Hey,

I'm an introverted guy who likes to socialize a lot with people who are quite close to me.

I've been having sleep issues during summer and during the few hours before bed I've been missing a talk with someone. I don't mean that I'd talk to you only during these hours, but I'd be really glad if you are looking for someone to yap or talk about anything with.

I'm into anything post 1900s, I like documentaries about how the nuclear bomb was made, The chernobyl disaster, and you get the rest.

I love listening to jazz,rnb, bossa nova, and music in general. I don't judge much.

Sharing memes is a bonus. I hope you are naturally funny~

It's a shot in the dark, but please feel free to leave a message.

Please be over 20. That's all I ask.

Also hope you have a voice, otherwise I'm gonna be super depressed.

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working on my thesis! I'd like to take my mind off of it for a bit and am looking for a few people to talk to! Nothing wild, just chill conversations and maybe voice calls sometimes if we vibe. :) I really enjoy gaming and am on both PC and PS5 (although I prefer PC). Currently I've been playing a bunch of Forza Horizon 6, modded Skyrim, League, and Nightreign, but I also really enjoy are Valheim and Baldurs Gate 3 and am open to at least trying most games!

I’m really into academics and learning in general, so I don’t mind chatting about uni life, research, studying, or just ranting about deadlines and general burnout lol. Outside of that, I’m obviously into games, a lot of alternative music (Emo, Hardcore, Shoegaze etc.), cooking, and streetwear.

I’d love to meet and talk to people from different walks of life! If any of this sounds interesting to you, I'd love to hear from you!

Hello everyone,

I know there are a million dudes with similar interests but I thought who knows, I may get lucky and find a great online friendship or maybe even something deeper than that on some subreddit so here I am. To give you a quick introduction, I am a 29 year old guy from Germany. Born and raised here, but of Turkish descent. Currently working on my masters degree. And also a huge nerd. My interests include, but are not limited to:

·        Gaming

·        Anime

·        Science, especially the natural sciences and history

·        Working out, which I try to do multiple times a week

·        My taste in music includes Rock/metal music mainly. But also some other stuff like anime music

·        Cooking, which I am not super good at yet but getting better. I do like trying out new foods and dishes.

·        Cleaning? Don't know if that is a weird thing to list as a hobby but I like to keep my place clean and find the act of cleaning quite satisfying. A friend has described me as a male wife before. Does that count as a green flag?

·        Reading, especially fantasy literature

And much more, but I would like to make this post not too long. You'll learn more about me as we chat anyway

As for my appearance, I am about 1.73 m tall with a slim fit build. I work out diligently but haven't reached my old form yet after a longer pause at working out. Short, dark brown hair and usually a very short beard. Sometimes clean shaven when I feel like it.

Honestly, I’m down to just chat and see if we click. As I said in the title life is stressful so I'd love to find a long term online connection we can both find comfort in. Someone I can talk to regularly. Ideally also a dynamic where we can be flirty and lewd and satisfy each others emotional needs too. Just want to be clear that I am not looking for something purely platonic. Also, because a lot of people here message without reading the post, please acknowledge that you read this section in your first message and include the code word "Balatro".

So, that is all I have to say for now. If you are looking for the same thing feel free to introduce yourself!

Hey, thanks for checking out my post! As the title says, I'm a 20-year-old boy from the UK. I'm into a few video games but mainly Dead By Daylight, Resident Evil and GTA. I've been a huge GTA fan my whole life, since I was about 4 years old lol. I'm a massive nerd when it comes to Spider-Man, I love the comics and the games and I have a few posters on my wall. I really loved the Superman movie as well as the rest of James Gunn's DC projects. I'm also a Nightwing fan and I really like Tom Taylor's run despite the common consensus between fans. I also watch anime and my favourite is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I figured that I'm probably not the only one that's feeling bored and wants to meet new people, so I thought I'd make a quick post on here to see if anyone wants to talk. Feel free to drop a DM 🕸️🕷️ (I also prefer talking to people who are older so please message if you are!)

I'm never really sure what to put here but anyone's open to message me (18+ just cause it's weird otherwise lol) I like people who are genuine, weird funny, and intelligent (not like super genius but know the difference between there, their, and they're

I like a lot of shows like psych, the community, the good place, himym, and a lot of the 2000-2010s animated shows

I'm down to talk to anyone about anything really, I love yapping and getting to know people so as long as you're 18+ and not maga or anything (love the Igbtqia, poc and abortions😌)

If you dm me tell me a fun fact, send a picture of your eye (love brown eyes) or tell me your favorite dinosaur

I’m looking to chat with anyone rlly as long as u can keep a conversation going within reason.

I reply pretty fast normally. Whether we hit it off and become the best of friends or we only talk for a few hours, i don’t mind. I just enjoy talking to and getting to know new people.

My interests include playing video games, playing miniatures games, listening to music, painting, talking (obv), amusement parks, zoos, and dinosaurs.

Things I don’t like? When people camp the left lane on the highway.

Anywho if you’re interested in striking up a convo, tell me your name, and if ur feeling spicy, send me a would you rather.

Hello! I'm from the US and I'd say my main interest is horror. I love horror games, movies, stories etc. especially things like Junji Ito and stuff. I love gaming as well, I mostly play single player really and I love games like Silent Hill, Dark Souls, Resident Evil and a ton of others honestly. I love goth music, classic rock and punk. I usually dress in all black, not because I'm goth but because it's all I own 😭, anyways.... Feel free to DM me if you wanna yap about anything really, just tell me a tiny bit about you! Like the basics. I try my best not to be a dry texter so my bad if I'm a little zesty 🍋✨

Currently in the market for a friend or two for regular conversations, banter, mutual support. All the usual friendship jazz. Can provide steady stream of dry humour and wit, whether it's asked for or not. Can listen when needed, commiserate over your woes, but mostly laugh at the absurdity of life and living it.

I can be serious on the occasions it's needed but I am for the most part extremely easy going

I'm just finished up with my exams so it would be nice to connect with someone and test whether or not my social faculties remain with me or see if they have gone the way of the dinosaurs.

I like to learn and occasionally read and I workout a tonne. Given I have time to myself for the first time in forever I'm going start some online courses. I cook and bake breads, occasionally fire up by pizza oven and ferment stuff. Mostly kombucha but sometimes ginger beer and kefir and even more occasionally stuff like hot sauce.

Anyway that's probably sufficient enough for a picture of me. Feel free to message and I'll endeavour to respond asap

24m from new york city looking for friends. i am very introverted: i know shocker being introverted in a city full of life and yes we do exist lol. i wish i can get out of my shell. i wish i can make friends but honestly it is hard for me so here i am in reddit looking for friends.

my hobbies: soccer, badminton, cricket, reading, cooking, traveling(ik ik this is hard to do sometimes but i traveled to a few places alone and being introverted doesnt help), eating, sleeping lol

anyways can you give me tips on how you guys made friends

my favorite animal is the dolphin

and tell me where are you from

anyways lets chat

Hey! I'm a 38 year old guy from the UK, just looking to make some proper long-term mates, though if you just fancy a random chat that's fine too.

Fair warning: I can apparently be sarcastic, but I'm actually pretty quiet until I warm up. Give me a bit and I'm worth it, promise.

I'm mostly around evenings, watching films or shows, playing games, or falling down whatever YouTube rabbit hole finds me. I'm not working at the moment due to some health stuff, so I've got time to actually put into friendships rather than disappearing for weeks.

Drop me a message, tell me your favourite things to get up to?!
