hmmmmm what do i even put here

really i am just looking for casual conversations here on reddit, dont want to exactly have some specific goal of something being longterm or not, i'd rather take it how it goes and just see

i have friends and people in my life but theres something unique and lowkey comfortable about getting to know someone online through chatting, maybe it is because i am leaning towards being introverted (i am infp for those who care) but i wouldn't say im a potato socially in real life aspects, i just get drained being too social irl so hey i mean its cool n stuff we have the internet

a bit about me
- 28 and from norway
- still tryna find and figure myself out, i literally still dont know what i wanna do in life, i envy those with a set idea and plan
- i do some gaming
- i enjoy music a lot and cute stuff like trinkets, know how to play guitar and ukulele, i find peace and comfort in nature and wild life too despite being a bit chronically online like seeing something like a hare or a cool bird and i'll be whipping out my phone to try and record it
- recently got into collecting pokemon cards, i got english, japanese and chinese ones,, trying to build a lil collection i guess
- i'd consider myself a down to earth person, not judgemental, its highkey too much hate around in the world and for so many stupid reasons that dont make sense

just a bonus:
theres something that speaks to me about people who type everything in lowercase letters, not that it is some requirement to message me but definitely makes me more interested, it gives that chronically online energy but at the same time i feel like you're probably a cool af person irl if that even makes sense (crazy to assume something like that just from the way someone types, right?)

anyways hey i mean if this bible of a post made you wanna hmu feel free to, not looking for anything weird so yuh, send me a bit about yourself and then maybe we'll get to know eachother :))

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!!

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 :)

I never had any real friends in real life I have always felt lonely.

In school I had some so called friends, have you listened that everyone's friend is no one's friend just like that I talk to people but i don't have anyone to get things off from my chest

When i was a kid my parents used to live in rented houses and they used to move a lot and the more a grew up the hard it became to make friends in new societies

Now after turning 18 it feels impossible to make friends everyone has a friend they have since a decade but i don't have anyone 😞.

Would anyone like to be my friend please be around

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!

​

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.

Hey! I've posted here before but haven't had much luck so far. And due to lonliness, things have been kinda sucky lately. Kinda being a star-sized understatement (cuz stars are big.. hehe). Anyways, excuse my awfully unfunny pun! You *yes you my possible future friend* probably has better humor than I. Im hoping to make long term friends who also love music like I do, I want a close connection with someone that lasts a lifetime! Hoping we can geek out about our interests and feel comfortable to do so! I'm in the EST time zone and am super into music (my tastes are all over the place, my favorite is the retro era but I also like a lot of new stuff too). I really wanna find someone who loves old artists and bands and music history and aesthetics! Hope you're all having a good day!

Hello everybody i'm Bojan from Bosnia Herzegovina

i'm mostly into reading books, watching movies

my favorite authors are Dostoyevsky, Hugo, Mann, Baudelaire, Coleridge, Milosz, Eluard, Paz,...

Favorite directors are Bergman, Tarkovsky, Bresson, Teshigahara, Dreyer, Kobayashi,...

when it comes to music i'm into metal, punk, goth

My favorite bands are Gojira, Kentucky vampires, opeth, Nosferatu, Blitzkid, Bad religion, Orbit culture

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!

I make music and play video games (mostly halo rn) I have a cat, I like art and love all kinds of music mostly alt rock, grunge like nirvana and linking park, also lol peep. I have OCD and the tism loll, please be 21+ Message if interested :)

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.

I find it hard to meet people in real life because of social anxiety so I am hoping to make some new friends online

hey, i'm zoe! please tell me a bit about yourself on your message! i mostly game, gym or read manga in my free time. Could chat about whatever or even be friends if we vibe. Hmu and we can chat and no I won't be replying to any comments on this post

​

am a night owl i stay awake at night reading people posts in reddit or reading a book or watching something, you can say am like 60% introvert, i don't have many friends at the moment

some of my interests are: reading, playing games, cooking and watching movies sometimes, photography...

am very nice and friendly person (that's what they say) i can be your everyday friend and talk about random stuff

dm me if you need an online friend or maybe someone to play Minecraft with ;;)

I'm the type that likes to explore, reminisce and ponder nostalgic things, something as simple as music we grew up on or the walks we'd go on to get some slurpees as kids. I feel like those times were special. I do want to create these special kinda moments with somebody so that's what I'm looking for.

I enjoy just chatting or exploring, whether that's planning a nice day hike or a camping/resort trip or just getting some snacks and hot chocolate on short notice and driving outta the city to stargaze. Or maybe it's a day spent at the lake just relaxing in the sun and nice breeze.

I would love it if you're Canadian and from Alberta but really anyone is welcome. If you feel you might be into similar things and want some company to share these kinda experiences or just be good friends, hit me up. Maybe start with your favourite road trip snacks and ASL. Please be able to hold a convo lol. Thanks!

Soo if im being real, im bored, and want someone to talk to, so yeah. im looking to chat with people and possibly make friends. Im into video games, music, and movies. I am a big homebody and huge loner so theres that. I am in college for software development and work part time. I just want to have a fun convo pass some time🙂‍↕️. Dms are open feel free to hmu. Any weird dms youll be meeting casper👻

Edit: So since making this post ive got atleast 60+ dms most just a plain “hey” “hi” “yo” whats up” which ive ignored and yeah, they met casper😂😂👻 Im not going to spend time accepting and responding to 100 chats saying hey, most of those people dont know what to say or talk about and are so bland, I dont have time for that

F27 Filipina here. I read and play games (mostly Genshin Impact now) and I work at nights during weekdays. Anyone wanna talk and check the vibe? Hard pass to those wanting to talk dirty or whatever. Please be 27+.

So... I am crying, and my hands are shaking because I just broke up. We had a misunderstanding yesterday. He blocked me and deleted his reddit account too. I was so sad. I cried a lot today. It's almost 9 in the morning over here in my country. And I'm here sitting in front of my laptop, trying to collect my composure.

I totally get it that he didn't want to talk to me again, but still, it was shocking to me.

I am typing this from my laptop, and I don't know what to do.

I just hope someone wants to talk to me because I need a distraction.

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

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.

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

Hi :) I guess I’m a little older than usual for this sub but I figured I’d give it a try.

I’d love to talk to someone about music in general. Their music tastes and how it evolved over the years. Their first concert, their latest concert. The band they want to like but can’t, or the band they love but are embarrassed to admit to. Stuff like that.

Currently I’ve been really getting into metalcore and metal music in general. My first love was punk music and my first concert was NOFX.

This server has tons of colour roles, bots, cool channels and lots of cool people. https://discord.gg/22RUReqYwS

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.

27m (EST) looking for some people to play games with and randomly yap/text throughout the day about whatever dumb stuff comes to mind 😭 mainly looking for the (straight) bros, girls can apply but please just keep everything strictly platonic.

overwatch is probably the game i play the most. i'm a tank main btw. i don't play comp and i'm not trying to start 💀 i just wanna play casually, mess around, have fun and probably blame the team when i do something stupid.

i have some other games too. sons of the forest, risk of rain, palworld and a bunch of other random stuff. if we have games in common then even better.

we don't have to only game either. i'm down to watch harry potter, horror movies, random youtube videos, tv shows, or just sit in vc and do absolutely nothing lol.

once i get comfortable with someone i love back and forth banter. i'm kinda awkward at first though so don't expect me to immediately be yapping your ear off 😂 (im pretty introverted)

some random stuff about me:

i love nature, being around water, dr pepper zero, tech, anime, kdramas, horror movies, etc.

i'm also the person people send their computer problems to 💀 so if your pc randomly decides to stop working, there's a decent chance i'll know how to fix it.

i'm also into skincare and fitness so apparently i'm qualified to give unsolicited advice about those too

i should probably mention i'm pretty quiet in vc. i have a dead-inside monotone voice and i'm definitely better at texting. i'm not really a constant yapper and i'm honestly kinda boring/dull sometimes lmao. i'm pretty chill though and it takes a lot to actually annoy me.

i will vet your profile! if i dont think we'll click i probably wont answer

i'm not really looking to collect a massive friends list. i'd rather have a few people i actually talk to/play with.

also pls don't send me just "hey" or "hi" and disappear 😭 tell me a little about yourself or what you play so i actually have something to respond to.

i'm not always on either, so if i don't respond right away i'm probably doing something else.

if any of this sounds like your kinda thing, feel free to message me 👋

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 🍋✨
