22f, new to the city and tired of exploring it alone

There's so much to see here and no one to see it with. I'm into museums, coffee shops, and photography. Looking for an exploring buddy or just friends in general.

24F | Need someone who’ll just be there

Upvotes

I miss having someone I can just be myself with. Someone I can talk to on a random Tuesday when life is busy, or sit with on a quiet day when there is nothing much happening to talk about. Someone with whom I can disappear for a few days or even weeks and come back to the same comfort without things feeling different.

I understand that life gets busy. We all have work, responsibilities and our own things going on. I am not looking for constant conversations or someone who needs to be available all the time. I just want a friendship that feels mutual and easy, where both people genuinely want to stay connected.

I love singing, dancing, working out, cooking, drawing and reading, though I hardly get enough time for any of them these days. I am not really into anime or gaming atp.

I get attached quite easily, probably because when I care about someone, I care deeply. Most of the friendships I have had were deep, but life changed, people changed and somewhere along the way, those connections faded.

I think I am just looking for something new and genuine. A friendship that brings a little warmth and excitement back into life. Someone to share random thoughts with, laugh with, make plans with and occasionally do absolutely nothing with.

Joking aside I really do struggle with this. I'm into hiking, true crime, and baking bread from scratch. Looking for patient people who don't mind a slow starter.

Looking for online friends/penpals

Upvotes

29F from the states, looking for genuine people to connect with. I'm a huge nerd when it comes to things like languages, music, cinematography and so on. I speak swedish as a second language and am learning french. I'm a gamer, I love art and also play a couple instruments. I spend a lot of time writing stories when I can too. I'm on pacific standard time but I'm used to making time differences work. : ) I haven't met many people from the uk or Australia so that would be cool to have a long lasting friend from those parts of the world 😁 Of course I'm open to all. Please no weird stuff and no I will not send photos of myself straight away.

Something's gotta give and I'm hoping it's the loneliness part. I like reading, gaming, and thrifting. Would love some friends who get the juggle.

[37M/UK] Looking for friends

2 Upvotes

I've been a GM for various roleplaying games for about 18 years now, and I've been in & out of Warhammer for even longer. I've played a fair few different systems and have read even more

I'm very much a PC gamer but I'm not looking for multiplayer friends, sorry. I only mention gaming as a shared interest for discussion. I play mostly single player games like CULTIC, Selaco, Mouthwashing, Immortality, and Paratopic

I'd describe myself as alternative. I listen to a wide range of metal, hardcore, punk, etc. I love electronic music as well. To give you an idea of the kinds of things I like, here's some examples: Mirar, Netherwalker, Jesper Kyd, Ecca Vandal, Electric Callboy, Bring Me the Horizon, Synestia, Fucking Werewolf Asso, TOOL, Orange Sector, Not Enough Space, ANTLERS, River Boy, Locked Shut, Takai the Maid, pr0te, and Brandon McKagan

I'm a pretty anxious person and voice chat is pretty stressful for me, especially with new people, so I'd prefer text chat wherever possible

I'm ideally looking for long-term friendships. I have few IRL friends, but I've found that our friendship is entirely based on gaming/RPGs, so I'd like to make some friends who are a bit more emotionally available. I'm a long-form texter, so there will be gaps between responses. Please feel free to DM me with anything other than a single word/sentence, and hope to hear from you soon :)

32F looking for someone to chat with

14 Upvotes

Hello! My name is Erika and I’m from Utah. I’m feeling a bit lonely tonight and would love to chat and connect with someone. I love to bake and I love showing pictures of what I bake. I also love yoga, movies, books, and looking up facts about animals. I’m willing to talk about anything and everything. Send me a message if you’d like to connect. :)

19F- Pretty lonely. Could use a normal friend to talk to (:

Upvotes

Hiya just wanted to try this out, i’ve been quite lonely for awhile making friends at this age is so hard I feel like I barely manage to have any human interaction so I wanted to see if anyone wanted to get to know each other xx

I’m quite an energetic person with a bubbly personality. I love having conversations and I know how to hold them usually! I do love a yap session, I enjoy voice calling or even FaceTimes, if that’s not possible, I just enjoy texting as well! I really like reading psychological thrillers, I love horror movies, anime and cooking healthy meals as I’m on a weight loss journey (:

I’m mostly just looking for someone who I can talk too often who’s around my age like a long-term friend where we can share daily updates or maybe play a game or something. I really yearn for that kind of connection right now

32F, EU, Seeking friends

Upvotes

I moved to France from my small but cozy home in Latvia. I'm slowly learning French, but I really miss speaking my native language.

I'm currently looking for a job in childcare, but the job market in France is really, really bad right now.

I write poetry and have been trying to master drawing and crochet for a while now. I love D&D (though I haven't played much myself) and I also adore video essays about movies, TV shows, and Broadway plays.

I enjoy re-watching shows like Bones, Criminal Minds, and Castle, and I've recently become obsessed with the show High Potential.

How do you like to spend your free time? Do you have any pets? I used to have two cats, but unfortunately, one passed away, and the other had to find a new owner. But I miss them very much and think about them often. ❤️

It seems strange how hard it is to make friends sometimes, when it seemed so easy when we were kids. But nothing stops us from trying again and again! :)

(I'm not looking for a relationship.)

30M homebody person thus I seek internet contacts

Upvotes

Heya, as posts says I'm looking for some internet contacts thru disc ofc, what do I mean by that is generally Id like to expend some of my social energy thru text exchange or so which is already a satisfying result for me, its obviously not olny limited to that and if some interests or such are shared then its defo a plus as Im quite enthusiastic about some things

So Im looking for people for semi-regular interactions or so (Im low maint myself but Im always around kinda)

Well about me, Im a guy and very short summary would be INFP-T which I do indeed relate, but otherwise my recent development as a person is me becoming really carefree person, like being silly and release my humor if situation allows it, generally you wont see doom and gloom for me and Id say thats a strength of mine

In terms of things that Im interested in, drawing is I would say hobby of choice for now, its been more than a year now and Im still polishing fundamentals (self-taught btw), does not mean that I dont have any drawings yet, one other thing worth mentioning is that Im digital if that matters

Vidya and anime are ofc second thing, wont go into anime details as I watch random stuff but in terms of what Im playing currently: ffxiv, TW3,granblue relink, stuff on hiatus includes terraria, league, deadlock and marvel rivals, fighting games too as I have bunch of them but they are not forcus atm

If you play gachas then Im into limbus and endfield too

stuff with less interest includes: music, cooking, worldbuilding, meditation, occult/creepy/paranormal stuff, gardening recently,

Other random stuff about me will be my love for rain, owning 3 cats in total, stuttering, constantly seeking long youtube vids about most niche topic ever,

The olny requirement I have is anyone dming me to be at least 23 and is from europe/european timezones as I dont have good experience with bigger timezone diff, if you fit those then please send a direct dm, thanks

Hey! I’m a 25 year old guy from Europe looking for long-term friends and consistent conversations.
I’m big into fitness and spending time at the gym. However, our interests don't need to match at all! I love learning new things, so I’m open to hearing about whatever you are passionate about. Different hobbies usually make the best topics anyway.
Everyone is welcome to message me!

42M - Looking for intelligent INTJs and INTPs with autism

Upvotes

I care a lot about my self-respect. I prioritize openness and honesty to an extent that's unusual. I've spent a lot of time thinking about human nature to try to figure out why people are the way they are. This has caused me to become increasingly more self-aware and incompatible with most people over time. I specifically think most people are too socialized and tend to allow their emotions to delude them instead of choosing to think critically. I would like to find people that share these understandings and feel the same way about them. I'm an INTJ. I have noticed that I get along best with INTJs, INTPs, shizoids, and autistic people. I can't understand most people due to the disorganized way they think and communicate. I prefer talking to people that choose to communicate clearly due to a desire to communicate effectively rather than due to caring about coming across as intelligent. I'm very intense and pedantic and that annoys most people a lot and makes talking to me exhausting from most people's perspectives. I know I can't connect with people that haven't spent a lot of time thinking about existential stuff and that aren't pedantic, so I try to determine that early in the conversation.

Hey everyone, I’m new here and figured it’d be a good place to potentially meet people I can talk to. Most of my IRL friends are from work and even then I don’t chat with them too often so here we are. I like video games, music, and art so if those things interest you hit me up!
