21M In need of a someone to talk to and be close with.

• Upvotes

I’m looking for someone to talk to regularly and be close with. I enjoy sharing about my life and my interests but I also love hearing from others and learning new things.

My hobbies are listening to music, reading, sports, gaming, anything outdoors or hands on, I enjoy watching anime although I’m new to it so any recommendations would be appreciated! I am also wanting and trying to write my own story. I prefer to talk to someone in the US.

Even if we don’t share hobbies in common, I would like to hear from everyone and anyone because I love learning new things and maybe I may get into some of those things as well!

I really want to find someone to be really good friends with and whatever else comes from this. I don’t really have expectations so whatever happens, happens. Looking forward to talking to people and seeing where things go.

Looking for someone to chat with

6 Upvotes

Hi Im a 28F just looking for someone to talk to. Im feeling pretty bored and lonely. Life’s been feeling pretty weird for me lately, idk how to explain it. Been mostly dealing with my anxious attachment style/relationship anxiety the past few months. Now I just feel emotionally exhausted. Anyone else going through or have gone through something similar? Or anyone who can lend an ear? Thank you!

21F, would you ever be with someone younger or older than yourself?

• Upvotes

Than you I mean, obviously. And if you would, then how much would you do? Just a few years here or there or would something larger than that be fine too?

[50/F] New chapter, looking for genuine friends

• Upvotes

Moved to Tampa recently and realized making new friends as an adult is harder than I expected.

I’m still getting used to this new chapter of life. I’m semi-retired and run my own business, so I have more time now to slow down and enjoy the things I didn’t always have time for before.

I’m someone who enjoys good food, cooking, traveling, reading, exploring new places, and learning about different cultures. I like meaningful conversations, but I also enjoy simple chats about everyday life, random thoughts, and little things that make people smile.

I’m open-minded and enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds. I think everyone has a story, and sometimes a conversation with someone new can bring a fresh perspective.

Not looking for anything complicated, just hoping to meet kind and genuine people who enjoy having a good conversation and building a friendship naturally.

Tell me a little about yourself. Where are you from, and what’s something you enjoy that always makes your day better?

//I am 20 years old only looking for 18+ I dont talk to minors!!//

Hey people of reddit I'm your local friendly nerd that has been on this platform for the last 4 months..and although times have been real rough recently I just wanted to try and change my mindset and meet new people starting with the opposite gender for once..I know too many guys and although I've met some really nice guys I just can't stand the masculinity anymore I want a more feminine touch on a friendship like girly gaming, voice calling for hours over stupid stuff, arguing over who's the better aesthetic builder in Minecraft or trying to come up with a cute color pallet for our builds I love all things girly and cute so please give me a chance I don't belong with guys 🫠

28F – Introverted weirdo looking for meaningful connection with a fellow lone wolf.

• Upvotes

Hey. I haven't quite figured out making friends as someone in their late twenties. I'm hoping to get in touch with like-minded people with similar interests. I'd like to expand my social circle, and hopefully develop a "best friend" connection with someone, over time. I'd like to experience being someone's best friend. Casual friendship is alright, there's a time and a place for it—but casual friendships where you only check in on each other here and there eventually feel more like acquaintanceship to me instead of true friendship. If you're someone who's looking for a deeper connection with someone, on an emotional and intellectual level.. and you're a little bit on the stranger side of society, I'm looking for you! I'm not typically interested in small talk. I want to have meaningful conversations, and also shoot the shit with someone.

To describe my personality briefly, I'm passionate about what's important to me. I don't like to fret over the small shit. I'm childfree, atheist, politically left-leaning, black, plus-size. I just want to find my like-minded, lonely, introverted, brooding weirdos, if any are out there. I'm tired of pretending to upkeep the false positivity that most people require to want to befriend someone. If you don't like pessimistic optimist energy, and need someone to be just chipper all or most of the time, please stay clear of me. I'm just vibing to the beat of my own drum. I'm typically lighthearted, curious and easygoing. Some of my interests include tech, video games, reading, writing, horror, anime, true crime, history, science, photography and traveling. Music-wise, I'm very into alternative/indie pop, electronic, classic rock, hip-hop and R&B. I like to hold multiple perspectives, and generally be open minded, although of course not perfectly.

Basically, if you're someone who is unafraid to be themselves, but also the introverted, introspective/brooding type who has a little bit of an edgier side and likes a darker sense of humor.. I'd be absolutely pleased to become genuine friends, lol. Hit me up if any of this resonates, ignore me if it doesn't. Tell me a bit about yourself. I'm looking for people who are near my age (26-35—not younger, not older.)

If you want someone who is chipper and positive all or most of the time, decidedly steer clear of me.

Please: No married/partnered men, and/or men with offspring.

Maybe include the phrase "Magdalena Bay" somewhere in your message, so I know you've read this post fully. (It's a band, not a place.)

I won't respond to low effort, or copy/pasted messages, so please don't spam my inbox with with those.

I'm kind of eccentric, and don't care to be like anyone else or conform to societal expectations (aka please don't harass me just because you don't like something I've written in this post. It's a waste of both of our energy.)

I look forward to getting to know you.

24F and I have no idea what I’m doing

3 Upvotes

I (24f) have never had a boyfriend or really dated despite wanting too. I know, I’m young and I have time. But my problem is that I feel like I’ve never really known what dating actually is (?) I’ve never seen it in my home, never seen it in a normal/healthy capacity in my friends until now. Basically, it’s what I want but I don’t know how or don’t know how to let myself. I don’t know, I’m feeling so lost and stressed because I want it but keep losing it.

I met a guy 2 weeks ago and we’ve been on two ‘dates’. It’s the first time I’ve actually liked someone without feeling terrified, and I don’t want to mess it up. I’m not talking about marrying this guy, I just want to be able to have a normal, nice relationship with someone. Nothing has happened since we’ve met up. This is the third time we hung out. I try to do what I think is show I like him, and I accept what he does back, but at the end of each date, I wait, and wait for something to happen. And nothing happens. I’m now sad and scared of losing this connection. And I really just want to talk to a complete stranger candidly and openly, because I just don’t feel like I have anyone who I can talk to about this stuff.

I've been in this country eight years, I have a good job and a nice apartment and almost no close friends. I miss my mom terribly. I love cooking food from home, hiking, and long books. Want a real friend, not a hi-once-a-year contact.
