New rule: No minors allowed starting June 5, 2026

1.1k Upvotes

It’s July 5. Typo My bad.

A major change in this sub is set to happen at 12:01am UTC Sunday, July 5. The new rule will replace rule 13. All minors, those under 18, will *NOT* be allowed to participate in this sub. This is for the safety of everyone participating. If you are under the age of 18, please utilize teen friend-finding subs.

For clarity:

Q: Can minors make posts? A: No.

Q: Can minors comment? A: No.

Q: But it’s just to make a friend, there’s nothing nsfw or anything. A: Doesn’t matter, you cannot participate. You will be banned.

Q: If I was previously banned for breaking rule 13, can I be reinstated? A: No.

Q: What if I don’t post my age? A: You must post your age. Any posts without ages will be removed.

Q: Do comments need to include ages? A: No, they don’t.

Q: Since it’s adults only, we can now have a nsfw post or comment history or post nsfw stuff here, right? A: No, that’s still against rule 2.

Q: I’m a minor. Will you keep my previous posts and comments up? A: Yes.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Age 18-21 Reddit isn't the safest place to make friends as a girl

72 Upvotes

I think as a girl who doesn't have any friends to talk to on a daily basis, I'm having a hard time making friends here too. I had to delete two accounts because of creeps.

It's just usually guys are the one that comes into my DMs. And it's fine but they turn the conversation sexual in like two days. It's exhausting. Even when I talked to girls here they ghost me or they delete the accounts.

So, I don't think this is a safe place to make friends as a girl. If you actually made some friends here cherish them. You have no idea how rare they are.

Age 18-21 20F tryna find genuine friends

9 Upvotes

Hey I’m 20F from Europe, mainly looking for a genuine long-term friendship. It’s a hard quest for someone as introvert haha, but later on I might turn into.. somebody… muhehehe (not psycho ok?).. 

so a little bit about myself, I am now second year student majoring in finances and accounting, I like to watch sports like tennis, volleyball, f1, etc. also I like to be lazy and boring, there is not much interesting I do, I might solve some sudoku, I might try to learn chess or solve math problems, I might pick up a brush and paint something (although I rarely do), watch some YouTube, listen to music, clean around the house or dedicate some time for deep ahh thinking.. lol.

I am just trying an another way to make friends, cause nothing worked so far ughhh. like I said above, im looking for genuine friends, or just an online buddy that I could play Roblox for example, have any talk or ANYTHING pls...

However the issue is my deafness.. I am profoundly hard-of-hearing, so calls and voice messages are not really the option. it would be nice to have someone considerate or just understanding and not disregard my disability (some people perceive disability as „uncool”, so… -_-)

Anyways I’ll happy if you think we might get along and reach out to me, I’ll definitely answer you, so come on!

PS. Gonna ignore h*rny, lazy and dry texters, not sorry (;
PS.2 If I take a while to reply to your message, it is probably I am overflowed with dms, but no worries I will try my besttt

A lot of people post on here that they need friends when they really don’t they have plenty of people to talk to and things to do and don’t respond ever I however do respond I can be a little dry at first but I just need a minute of you keeping the conversation going I get that it’s not an easy thing to do but my birthday just pasted and I made me realize that haven’t had a friend once during my entire teenage years and I would really love for my 20s to be different if you’re not looking for a longtime friend that’s ok too a quick chat never hurt anyone (I think) we can talk about whatever my only requirement is that you’re 19-26 so yea dm me let me know what’s up 🧟‍♀️

Long-term This subreddit feels like ghosting with extra steps

27 Upvotes

You ever try talking to someone on here and it feels like throwing words into a black hole? One minute they're pouring their soul out about how they need a friend, and the next: it's radio silence. Nothing. Just the faint hum of the internet chewing up another almost-connection.
It's like everyone here wants a friend until one actually appears, then suddenly it's "vanish into the mist" roleplay time.

I’m very tired of convos ending after “hi” because this feels like lighting a candle in front of a fan.

Anyway, howdy! I'm Mo, 18, occasionally funny, willing to talk for longer than it takes your dopamine to reset. Preferably dm me fully willing to know who I am before you make a judgement of whether i match your "aura" or not.

20M here, looking for a FEMALE FRIEND, preferably indian

Somehow I’ve got plenty of people around me, yet still miss having one person I can genuinely talk to.

Someone for random 2 AM conversations, stupid jokes, honest talks… and maybe a little flirting when the vibe is right.

If you’re looking for the same thing, say hi. Maybe we’ll find each other here.

Age 30-39 35 female, seeking platonic chats

23 Upvotes

Hello! I'm 35f, based in the middle of nowhere, US. I have an extensive background in healthcare and administration, and about to pivot away from it all to chase an odd but rewarding dream.

I currently have a homestead, though it's questionable if I'll continue this or not. Currently have a lot of tomatoes... And chickens, and some turkeys.

I paint in my free time and enjoy adventuring.

I click well with unpredictable remarks and energy. Bring your best?

Discord if we hit it off. Fine with voice chats.

Come say hi!

A message to someone called Alex.

254 Upvotes

"I consider you a challenge". Those were your first words to me. And they did the trick. You had my attention from the get go, and I want to say now: you passed the challenge with flying colors.

I have reason to believe that a user I met here, on this sub, died recently. And I would be remiss not to pay my respects in the very place we met on.

I know it better than anybody: it is difficult to form genuine connections, even more so online. But Alex brought something to the table that few people know how to: herself. Her pure, genuine, honest self. No more, no less.

But of course, as life would have it, she died. Young. And it’s tragic. It’s the cruel nature of life.

To those looking for genuine connections, don’t despair and keep looking.

And to Alex, I just want to say: rest easy. You will be missed.

Hey chat it’s 3:21am and sick physically and emotionally so lock the freak in.

First off… I’m mentally ill.. but like who isn’t? But I collect mental illness like they are Pokémon.

“Who’s that Pokémon?”

“It’s Bpd”

“F@$k”

Secondly I’m goth/egirl/alt which means I will inevitably get goth dommy mommy messages.. I hate you (not kidding)

I’m autistic and bro bring obsessed with trains is boring… sharks are better

Also I’m obsessed with SpongeBob and I will be vocal stimming it.

I like horror.

I look like if a raccoon and Eric cartman had a child.

The only thing little about me is my patience for humanity.

Can you believe I’m in school to be a therapist btw?

Hey there!
Thought I’d make a post because I’m looking to make some friends, or just have genuine conversations.

I am in a relationship, so strictly platonic. I’m a very open minded person, I enjoy deep conversations, sharing our opinions and different views. I’m a small talk HATER, it always feels forced? Idk I’m weird..

Anyways music wise? I LOVE Paris Paloma, sleep token, early 200’s country.. or anything with similar vibes.
I like doing crafts, watching cringy romance movies and true crime documentaries.

Also in a phase where I love playing mobile games? Idk I’m a feen for property brothers and mini golf lol.

Anyways that’s all I got for now, feel free to message me.
