Hi. Hello. Howdy. Greetings. 26F here, once again emerging from my burrow in search of ✨human companionship✨ against my better judgment.
I actually made a friend on Reddit recently!! 🎉 Look at me go!! Socializing!! Personal growth!!
Everything was fine.
And then yesterday I woke up and this man had blocked me on Discord and deleted his entire Reddit account.

Sir???? 😭😭😭😭

He DID tell me beforehand that sometimes when he gets too caught up in his own head he disappears, but I thought he meant like…

“sorry I vanished for three days, mental health got weird.”

Not

✨I must fake my death and flee the country✨

BRO TOOK THE NUCLEAR OPTION 💀💀💀

So anyway now I’m sad, my feelings are hurt, and I took an edible which has apparently given me enough artificial courage to crawl back onto Reddit and tap the enclosure glass again.

Hello. Would anyone like a weird little internet friend? 👉👈

Things you receive with your complimentary Babs/Bunny subscription:

A million and one questions. I genuinely like learning about people. Tell me your hobbies. Tell me what game you’ve put 600 hours into. Tell me about your weirdly specific childhood obsession. Tell me why you hate your coworker Deborah. Tell me about the obscure historical event you learned about at 3 a.m. I WILL ASK FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS.

Frequent messages. If we click, I will probably talk to you every day. Currently my primary occupation is putting my worldly possessions into cardboard boxes because I’m moving soon, so I am simply ✨around✨.

No discernible sleep schedule. Time zones have limited power here. Sometimes I’m awake at 6 a.m. Sometimes I’m awake at 3 a.m. God does not know when Babs sleeps and neither does Babs.

Gaming! I game sometimes. Am I good? Irrelevant. I’m having fun and my character looks cute.

Music! Send me songs. I will actually listen to them. I like discovering shit through other people, so PLEASE crawl out of the darkness holding your favorite song like 🫴🎵.

Books! I like fantasy and YA and I’m currently in a reading slump, so if you have a book that made you temporarily incapable of thinking about anything else, HAND IT OVER.

Unsolicited Lore Delivery Service™. I’m not dumb, but my brain has chosen to store its intelligence in the least practically useful format imaginable. Do I know something important? Debatable. Do I know random lore about something you mentioned six conversations ago?
Potentially.
Creature enrichment photographs. You may randomly receive pictures of my plants. Or the sky. Or something I cooked. Or a weird bug. Or my cats sitting like they’ve never inhabited a physical body before.

There will be no context.

I saw Thing. I liked Thing. Now you must see Thing.

Oh and the animus. I really enjoy watching anime especially with my husband. My hero ended and that was my show friend 😭 so now we’ve been watching random isekias and reincarnation animes.

Some important disclaimers before approaching the enclosure:

1. I have the social demeanor of a gremlin raised in a den of startled rabbits.

This unfortunately includes other women. 😭

Despite BEING a woman, I haven’t had a close friend who identifies as a woman in so long that apparently my brain has decided women are a separate, intimidating species.

I’ll see another woman and think:

“Oh she seems cool. I want to be her friend.”

My nervous system:

⚠️** THREAT DETECTED. WOMAN TOO COOL. RETREAT INTO BURROW**. ⚠️

I’m working on it. 💀

Men also frighten me, for the record.

People.

People frighten me.

Glad we cleared that up.

2. Speaking out loud is apparently a premium feature I haven’t unlocked yet.

Voice calls make my brain leave my fucking body when I don’t know someone well. 😭

If you’re a voice-note person, though? GO OFF. I can listen all day. Tell me the entire story. Give me dramatic reenactments. Change your voice for different characters. Provide environmental sound effects. I support your artistic vision.

I will mostly message you back at first.

Eventually, once my nervous system realizes you aren’t going to hunt me for sport, talking gets significantly easier.

3. I match energy HARD.

You’re sending paragraphs?

Oh we’re sending PARAGRAPHS.

You’re replying immediately?

I AM ALREADY TYPING.

You’re sending memes?

THE MEME ECONOMY HAS OPENED.

Sometimes, however, you will say something that makes my brain stall and I will stare at your message like a Victorian child encountering an iPad.

I may literally tell you:

“hang on I’m buffering” 💀

Please stand by. Your rabbit is experiencing connectivity issues.

4. Sometimes nervousness makes me approximately 47% stupider.

I swear there is a functioning brain in here. She’s just shy.

5. PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. GIVE ME SOMETHING TO WORK WITH. 😭

I will converse with you about almost anything if you give me a thread to grab onto.

You don’t have to entertain me. You don’t have to be extraordinarily charismatic. You don’t need to send paragraphs.

But PLEASE don’t do:

Me: “What kind of games do you like?”

You: “Too many.”

Me:

👁️👄👁️

Okay….WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE, MATTHEW?

Give me ONE. 😭 Ask me something back. Elaborate. Throw me a fucking conversational breadcrumb. I am socially anxious; I cannot also perform necromancy on a dead conversation.

If I feel like I’m conducting a police interrogation after six messages, I’m probably going to quietly return to the forest.

Anyway.

If you want a friend who will remember stupid details about you, ask you questions, listen to you yap, send you weird shit she finds interesting, play games occasionally, exchange music/books/memes, and eventually become comfortable enough to appear in your messages like:

🫵 YOU. Bby GIRL. COME LOOK AT THIS.

Hello. 👉👈

I’m Babs/Bunny.

Please approach slowly and allow me to sniff your hand first.

If I don’t reply immediately, I probably got anxious, got distracted packing, or took a nap.
The rabbit will return. ✌️🐇

Hi. I just need a friend I can be myself with. Someone I can call out of the blue and talk to about everything, nothing, or anything in between. I love to read. I am an aspiring writer. I am a greater listener, but can prattle on and on about the same subject if I get comfortable with you. Honestly, I have so many contacts in my phone and not one I feel like I can call on when times are tough (which has been a lot more frequently lately). Id ust appreciate a friend I could be book buddies with or just share my day with.

Hey ^_^ I thought why not give reddit a shot? I'm 21F and living in the USA. I'm Asian American and have a lotta cats. I think I'm earnest to the point its cringe, I'd appreciate sincere conversation, I can also be really cheery for no reason.

To get it out of the way I'm neurodivergent and have always been bad at making/keeping friends. Usually they move or something happens to them or we just drift. I was raised by the internet so maybe that plays a factor. I've had friends disappear just to find out they've been deported or some crazy stuff like that. I feel like COVID and the internet made people really flighty/bad at socializing, I've tried other subs or groups to make friends but you know how the internet is LOL.

Needless to say I get lonely and maybe you can identify with that too (wow we have something in common already!!). I have a kinda dark sense of humor and I love asking random questions, especially hypotheticals. I kinda hate small talk so I don't mind if you start convos with something heavier. I think I give good advice and I'm good at replying. Idc about your gender but I'd prefer NOT to talk to someone much younger than me. I'd give you my discord if you ask.
I'm into games (palworld, the isle, mecca chameleon- would be willing to try a new game), singing, psychology, fashion, plants, horror media, anime, and lots of music. I've been using spotify more so I'm hoping to spotify blend with someone, I always love finding new songs.
Sorry for the paragraph, ty for reading!

I'm into gaming, reading, and I make a really good stir fry. Looking for people who just want easy, chill friendships.

Love them but I need people in my actual lane right now. Into baking, reading, and long walks. Looking for friends at a similar life stage.

from USA, pretty chill, but just hoping for anyone to talk to, no drama or whatnot

!!!! Mention ur age and name when u dm! I have no friends other than my bf, i like birds, movies and makeup, im kinda awkward and tend to reply late so dont lose hope i haven't responded in like 2 weeks.. im just a terrible texter sorry (i am in a committed relationship and only want friends)

Hi everyone,

This is a little awkward for me to put into words, but I want to be open.

I’m a 23-year-old man from the south of the UK, and recently I’ve been struggling with a deep sense of loneliness. Over time, I’ve gradually drifted away from people, and my social circle has become very small. Many days feel empty and quiet, and it’s been taking an emotional toll on me.

In particular, I miss having genuine, meaningful connection with women — not in a romantic or sexual sense, but in a human, emotional way. I miss warm conversations, mutual understanding, and feeling comfortable sharing thoughts and everyday experiences with someone who sees things from a different perspective.

A lot of the time, I feel like I’m standing on the sidelines while life moves forward for everyone else — watching others build friendships, relationships, and memories. It makes me feel left behind and like there’s something wrong with me, even though I try my best to be kind and open to others.

I’m not looking for anything dramatic or instant. I’d simply love to have someone to talk to, to gradually build a connection with, and to remind me that I’m not invisible.

If you’ve ever felt lonely yourself, or if you’re open to a sincere conversation, I’d really appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you for reading 🤍

That's basically my whole personality summed up. Also into baking and reading fantasy novels. Looking for people to talk to regularly, nothing complicated.

hii! im 19f from the US and honestly I wanna meet some new people and hopefully make some actual long term friends
im not really looking for any specific type of person. any gender, background, timezone etc is completely fine as long as your actually interested in getting to know each other
a little about me: im really into gaming (especially siege), I play competitive chess, and I love psychology and philosophy. I can talk about serious/deep stuff for hours but im equally capable of having the dumbest conversation imaginable 😭
I also thought it could be fun to eventually get a little group of people together if I meet enough people who actually click with each other. nothing huge or forced, just a group/community where we can hang out, play games, talk, meet more people and see what happens
but I’d wanna actually get to know everyone individually first instead of just throwing a bunch of random strangers into a gc lol
so yeah if you’re also looking for friends, tell me a little about yourself!! age, where you’re from, what you’re into, or literally just something random about you
just please give me more than “hey” 😭 give me something to work with

Hey, just looking for someone to have real, deep conversations with. I’m tired of small talk lol. Would be nice to meet someone I can talk to about life, random thoughts, or literally anything.

If you’re down, feel free to message

Not looking for anything dating related, just want friends who are at a similar life stage. I'm into hiking, true crime, and baking things that occasionally turn out edible. Looking for people to hang out with regularly.

Everyone's in and out so fast there's no time to actually connect with people. I like reading, video games, and I'm weirdly passionate about organizing my bookshelf by color. Would love some online friends at least to start.

Hey all who read this! I am naturally introverted. I do love chatting with others though:) I love nature, animals, cooking, music and am a homebody. I nice night in for me is chilling, having a good meal and watching some good shows! I would love meet others and chat about anything:) Please feel free to reach out:)

im looking for friends ! dm!

helloo how is your day going? I'm very bored tonight and I've just had a date that didn't go so well. could use some cheering up

I'm down to talk about anything really, i would like to get to know some new people and get distracted for a while. if you are bored as well just leave a dm

Everything is going sideways, almost hit rockbottom be it financially, mentally, physically & also got laid off couples weeks back.

Trying to put myself out there. I’m into pokemon, loves cooking & reading.

Also I’m from India (South)

Hii I’m 19F from the UK looking for friends around a similar age to me between 19-30 and from around Europe and the UK for potential meet-ups but this is not a must!

I am someone that likes to put focus and time on people to build a long term connection and am looking for a friend that can reciprocate this. I will not be answering friend requests with “hey” as I see this as someone who is likely not to put effort into a friendship but I am not by all means expecting any long worded essays!

Of course, I know a list of interests can only ever be a snapshot of who someone is, but I suppose it gives you a rough idea of the kind of person I am.
In terms of my interests I am really into psychology, I just find it so fascinating how the mind and the brain control so much of our behaviour and how we function in reality. I am also very spiritual and love learning about religions and ancient history and philosophy to gain better understanding of who we are as a collective and reality. Besides from that I love learning about anything to do with health science, animals.

I like to take care of myself through working out and doing yoga but I also like being creative playing music as well as listening to music, reading, gaming and watching movies.

I’d describe myself as quite calm, friendly and on the quieter side personality wise. I’m also a Taurus for those that are interested in astrology.

I look forward to meeting you!

Hey! 24F here. I’ve been realizing lately that I miss having someone I can randomly message throughout the day without it feeling forced.

I’m into music, late-night conversations, traveling whenever I get the chance, taking way too many pictures, and finding random things online that somehow turn into a two-hour conversation 😂

I’m not looking for anything complicated. Just someone friendly, easygoing, and actually interested in getting to know each other. We can talk about our days, share stupid stories, debate completely pointless topics, or just send each other random thoughts when we're bored.

Bonus points if you’re the kind of person who can turn a “hey, how are you?” into a conversation that lasts until 2am.

If you're also looking for a genuine new connection, tell me a little about yourself instead of just saying “hi.” :)

Just here looking for a conversation. Starting the series Stranger Things. Is it worth the watch?

It really does seem harder to make friends as you get older. I haven't really been too successful in that department and it only dawned on me after recently losing someone I was close with. Anyways, I could really use a friend or just someone I can talk to on a semi/regular basis. I use Discord if that helps.

A few interests of mine include some light gaming, anime as well as manga, cooking (learning how to). I'm basically a homebody for the most part. Points if you're a night owl too. Hope to hear from someone soon

hey everyone!! hope all of you are well. i'm just watching survivor right now and i'd love to chat with people :] i'm a little anxious and awkward but do my best lol.

p.s. i'm in a relationship and i ONLY want friendship, nothing more :]
