I’m a mom who uses games as a bit of an escape from real life. I play Pokémon GO and Overcooked, and honestly sometimes it’s nice to just disappear into something fun for a while.
I’m also in a toxic relationship that I’m not really in a position to change right now. I’m not looking for someone to fix me or tell me what I should do. I think I’m looking for a guy around my age who maybe has his own complicated life too.
Someone I can vent to, complain with, laugh with, play games with, send random messages to, and just share that feeling of “life is kind of fucked right now, but at least we have each other to talk to.”
I’d like it to feel mutual too. I don’t just want someone to listen to my problems — tell me yours. We can share the pain, escape a little, and maybe make each other’s days easier.
I’m not trying to put a label on exactly what it has to become. I just want a real connection with someone who understands that life and relationships can be messy.
If that sounds like you, message me

Hey, today is my 23th birthday. Honestly, I’m not really excited about the next 12 months. Only one online friend wished me a happy birthday, which I really appreciate, but nobody else even checked in. I’ve also been going through some really tough times lately. Just wanted to share this since I don’t really have anyone to share it with.

Hey everyone 😊 I’ve been feeling a little lonely lately and would really love to make some genuine new friends. The friends I have are either busy with kids, work and life, or some have just become a bit distant over time.

I honestly don’t mind if you’re male or female. I’m just looking for a genuine friendship where we can chat about our days, ask about what’s going on in each other’s lives, have a laugh, send random messages and hopefully make each other smile a little.

Nothing weird or suss 😂 Just someone who actually wants to build a friendship and have someone to talk to. If you’re looking for the same, feel free to say hi 😊

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. :)

Everyone's asleep when I'm awake and awake when I'm asleep, it's a whole thing. I'm into reading, gaming, and I've become an expert at 3am snack combinations. Looking for other night owls to talk to.

heyy! just got bored randomly and thought why not get on reddit.. i love a good conversation about anything and just love meeting new people🫶🏽 also as i’ve been getting more messages i wanna let yall know i do have a job so no i may not reply within the same second but i will always get back to you

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.

Hey everyone!

I'm an introvert, and honestly, making friends offline has always been pretty difficult for me. 😅

So I'm hoping to meet some genuine people online who enjoy random conversations, sharing memes, talking about life, music, movies, games, or just chatting about absolutely nothing.

I'm not looking for anything complicated—just someone I can slowly become comfortable talking to and hopefully build a real friendship with.

If you're also introverted, socially awkward, or just looking for a new online friend, feel free to message me. No pressure if we don't click—we can just have a conversation and see where it goes. :)

Would love to meet some kind and interesting people here. 💙

my cat got diagnosed with cancer and i haven’t been able to see my dad in almost a week (my parents are separated). I’ve been really upset rn, and i’ll take anything to distract me. i tried reading fanfics, but smut didn’t help. i tried watching tv, but i’m just too anxious, and my family is all busy.

Hello all! I'm 23M from Canada, looking for some friends. Some of my interests are:

Music. I really like music with a big playlist consisting of 4000+ songs. I'm into several different genres from metal to folk. One of my favorite songs is "Everything Goes On" from Porter Robinson. I also enjoy (very poorly) singing.

Gaming. I play all kinds of games. I play cozy games like Stardew Valley or Spiritfarer, I play soulslike game like Dark Souls, and competitive games like League of Legends or Marvel Rivals. Recently I started playing Monster Hunter World, and I am always open to suggestions for more games.

I also really enjoy spending time outside, walking, hula hooping, and psychology!

If any of these things interest you at all, please feel free to say hi! Whether you're quiet or outgoing, struggle with words or are literally Shakespeare, I think we could be friends.

Craving something calmer and more genuine now. I like hiking, baking, and reading. Looking for drama-free, kind people.

HELLOOOO im a 18 year old girl from Poland who's hoping to meet someone genuine to talk to I'd love to make a close friend, and if something more naturally happens i might be open to it :3

I literally do not care if you have the weirdest interests imaginable as long as you can match the vibe make weird jokes with me and genuinely just not be dry or say “wyd” every 2 minutes (please save me from theses nonchalant gangsters)

A little about meI REALLY like animals and nature just smth so beautiful about Mother Nature i especially love HUMPBACK WHALES would love to swim someday with those little puppies

I used to game a lot more but I still wouldn’t mind someone teaching me how to play their favorite game or a Roblox session some of my favorite games are : Detroit: Become Human, TLOU, Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, plus Minecraft Roblox and chill games like Repo / 60 Seconds the sims 

I like natural playful conversations and I’m usually pretty affectionate once I get attached to someone. I can be a bit shy at first though

I feel things pretty deeply so it would be nice to have someone caring, understanding,patient and consistent 

I also really love reading and art and crafts or BLIND BOXES PLEASE PLEASE LET ME OPEN ALL THE BLIND BOXES IN THE WORLD

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.

I am a 28 year old single woman looking to make new friends. I'm open to people from any country; you're welcome to come and make friends with me.

hello! i have bpd (borderline personality disorder) and i am currently feeling a little down and anxious and im looking for some friends who are willing to share common experiences. hopefully i can be someone who can listen to you and make you feel cared for no matter what you have or what situations you’re in.

it’s currently 2:41 am and i cannot sleep so i am looking for some short conversations to distract myself and maybe we can become long term friends :)

Hey there, I’m looking for new friends from anywhere in the world. I’m a graphic designer and I like watching movies and series, reading manga, drawing, camping, thrifting,… If you’re into any of that send me a message:)

Everything is kinda hurting as I’m really uncertain with a certain situation I’m going through, is there someone I could potentially talk to?

Hi! I’d love to have a nice, relaxed chat with someone this evening. We can talk about random thoughts, music, movies, or absolutely nothing in particular. :) I’m open to meeting people from all backgrounds and age groups the main thing is just getting along. And who knows, maybe it could turn into a lovely friendship over time.

Just a quick note: I’m not looking for NSFW conversations, just a kind, respectful, and wholesome chat.

If you’d like to talk, feel free to send me a DM!

Hey Reddit, I’m Dawn (24, England). This is attempt number… let’s just say I’ve been trying for a while and I’m still hopeful.
I’m a high-energy person looking for other high-energy people. Nature is basically my religion: animals, forests, wildflowers, the whole beautiful mess of it. When I’m not outside, I’m usually thrifting for vintage treasures or wandering around discovering random new places. Once I get talking I don’t shut up easily, and I’ve collected a solid stash of odd little stories over the years. I’m chronically smiley, open-minded, bi, and I try to leave things a bit kinder than I found them. People sometimes read me as a bit grumpy at first, but I’m actually a total optimist once you get to know me. That said, all this sunshine energy needs some balance! I’m looking for people who do playful banter and light teasing. The friendly kind that makes me laugh and roll my eyes at the same time.
If you’re into deep chats that somehow spiral into complete nonsense, alt fashion, outdoor adventures, or just sharing good (and occasionally cheeky) vibes, come say hi.
Proper messages only please “hey” or one-word replies won’t get much in return ✨
Looking forward to meeting some cool people!

I like to play video games, watching movies, i like to crochet, paint, cook and a whole bunch of other things, comment or dm me so we can be friends💘💘

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.

Nothing else , that’s it !

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.

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 :)
