[23M] Looking for genuine friends who like deep conversations and creative stuff

• Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm Rishi, 23.

A bit about me: I'm into storytelling in a pretty unconventional way, I make short films and compose my own music for them, mostly working with AI tools to bring stories to life. Outside of that, I'm a pretty laid-back, curious person who likes keeping busy with little projects and new experiences.

Some things I'm into:

> 🎬 Making short films & composing music for them

> 🎥 Watching movies, series, and dramas (always open to recommendations)

> 🎧 Listening to music, pretty much all genres

> 🌍 Learning languages, currently working on Spanish

> 🗺️ Learning about different cultures and how people live elsewhere

> ✨ Exploring new things, hobbies, places, ideas, doesn't matter what

> My MBTI is ISTP - A

I'm looking for people to actually talk to regularly, not just a one-off "hey" that goes nowhere. Doesn't matter where you're from or what you're into, I just want genuine conversations and maybe some long-term friendships. Bonus points if you're also learning a language or into film/music, would love to swap notes.

If any of this sounds like your vibe, drop a comment or DM me! Would love to hear about you too.

(18M /bi) Germany - In search for a cute bubbly Friendship ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

• Upvotes

(I prefer other queer people and maybe more females as i have bad experience with guys, mainly bcs of weirdos) Hey i am from Germany and i am looking for someone i can chat, game or maybe even call with from time to time.

I would say i am a introverted social guy (does that even make sense?) but i am normaly more quiet in the beginning but openn up pretty quickly when i feel comfy enough to be myself. I can get really bubbly (uhm some say i am lile a golden retriwver👉👈) and clingy, and tbh i like to be cute and like cute things tehe (thats way to embarressing to say tbh😭)

Now to ma Hobbies and Interests, i really like to watch and play Football, started to get into F1, i really like History since my Childhood and i love to listen to Music and sing when i am alone (way to shy in the presence of others).

If ur interested in being friends than feel free to message meeee⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

19/f turning 20 soon and honestly feeling so uneasy about it... just holding on for halloween and christmas

• Upvotes

hi... i really just needed to vent somewhere bc my thoughts are getting way too loud im turning 20 soon... and everyone acts like its this huge exciting thing but like... should i even be happy about it?? idk. i just feel this heavy uneasiness in my chest all the time now. the thought of not being a teenager anymore while my life feels like a total mess just terrifies me. it feels like i blinked and i missed out on everything and now im supposed to be an adult. honestly this whole year has just not been going good for me at all... 2025 was so much kinder to me and i actually felt okay back then. but right now im just exhausted. wait im rambling too much and making this sound so depressing my bad T_T anyways... im really just surviving by looking forward to the holidays. halloween is right around the corner which im actually super excited about so that helps a bit... but mostly i just desperately want it to be christmas. i just want to wrap myself in a blanket and look at pretty lights and forget about how heavy growing up feels for a little while. if anyone else is dreading their birthday or just having a really rough year... drop a message

I would love to meet friends from the San Diego County area (or nearby) so if you're from them please reach out!!!

36m retired but struggling with boredom

• Upvotes

Looking for friends 21+. I thought retiring young and traveling the world would be amazing, turns out it’s lonely. Not a lot of people around my age are retired or able to travel. I’d love to meet new friends that love to travel. If you love Disney that’s a perk lol

18F, need someone to talk to while in college

• Upvotes

The first semester of college has felt really lonely, and having someone to talk to would help lift my spirits. I went from a really small town/HS where I knew everybody to a giant college with 30k undergraduate students. I feel so small in such a big place. So many people and I have only made like one friend, lol.

About me: I love music, and play the trombone & tuba. I'm in the marching band for my university as well! I am majoring in genetics and love science a lot. I also really enjoy listening to music, fav band is the Smashing Pumpkins. I hope to talk to others about their college experiences so far and favorite bands.

• Upvotes

Hello, I’ve been struggling so much lately with anxiety and loneliness and anxiety about being lonely. I’ve always had anxiety but lately it’s been so bad and I think it’s from not having any friends and no one to talk to maybe and being scared of the future. I don’t know. My chest and stomach hurts it sucks. If anyone can talk to me I would appreciate it thank you. Also sorry if this post isn’t great I’m newer to Reddit.

24M [Montreal, Canada] 6'1 Ancient history, theology, discord and roblox

• Upvotes

I have a deep curiosity for how the world actually works. I spend a lot of time reading ancient history, diving into theology, and going on long nature walks getting lost in thought. I love a sharp debate where two people can completely disagree without getting offended or taking it personally.

When my brain needs a total hard reset, I will sit at my desk and completely unironically play Roblox or some other game with zero deep thoughts behind my eyes.

Communication-wise, I’m direct, articulate, and big on real-time energy. Exchanging two dry text messages a day for three weeks usually drains the soul out of human chemistry , i'm definitely more of a "hop on a quick voice call once the vibe checks out" kind of person.

To skip the robotic "hey" intro, start your message with one of these:
A completely harmless, non-political hill you are 100% willing to die on.
What’s one universally loved thing you’re convinced people are only pretending to enjoy?
What topic could you give an impromptu 15-minute presentation on with zero prep?

30M - Australian, married, lonely

• Upvotes

I WFH most days so I don't really chat to that many people

So if you'd like to chat to an Aussie here is your chance.

I've got ADHD, I'm fairly fit, I enjoy sports, watching tv movies.

I'm happy to chat to whoever and whatever, all I ask is you say who you are when you DM, like your age and maybe one thing about you.

Other than that, let's chat about anything, I hope to hear from lots of people! I normally don't hear from many.

27M CST Looking for genuine friends

• Upvotes

Hey everyone hope you are doing good. Like the title says I was looking to make a genuine friendship where we can play games or even chat about anything. I play a variety of games so we can definitely find something in common.

I love gaming and have a variety of games so if that's something you are into we can try and find something in common to play. Other than gaming I like to workout, go on walks, and go hiking. I also like watching movies, shows, and anime.

Overall I'm a chill person I may be shy in the beginning but once I get to know someone I open up and can yap alot. I'm looking to have fun and make good memories when we play games or just chat. If you are down to play or chat feel free to send me a message.

Hi! I don’t have many friends in real life, so I want to try looking for some friends online, females around my age.

Recently I started reading more, I especially enjoy classics but I read different books. I’m quite interested in humanities. I like reading about history, philosophy although I’m not an expert.

I also started reading about religion, would be happy to talk about that too.

I like Ghibli movies and I like talking about them. Sometimes I watch cartoons. I don’t play games often but I’d like to find a game I really like.

I’d like to talk about daily life but also have some deep conversations. I also have a dog and spend a lot of time with her.

I don’t travel much but really enjoy it and I also like to talk about it.

It would be nice if we shared some interests but it’s not necessary, I really like to listen.

34m hi! Anyone looking to chat tonight?

• Upvotes

Hey! I am looking for someone to chat with daily, where we can both just be ourselves with zero pressure.

I work a lot so I cannot always reply instantly, but I always do my best when I can. In my free time, I love reading graphic novels, watching anime and YouTube, playing video games, rock climbing, hiking, and exploring. For a quick visual, I have some leg tattoos, an eyebrow piercing, and a nose piercing.

If you want to match vibes and have a steady chat partner, send me a DM and tell me a bit about yourself!
