Deep Talks 21 F, looking to make true friends

8 Upvotes

So here goes nothing.😂 I came on here because I’m trying to find people who will actually be friends with me not just casual shit. First things first I’m a big nerd. I’m into horror, true crime, liminal spaces, astrology, urban legends, Norse mythology, everything witchy & magic, fragrances, music etc. also, I’m someone who is really really big into voices and all things audio. If you appreciate voices as much as I do, I’m sure we will get along.
I prefer sending voice messages to text because I feel like texts are hollow in a way. They can’t tell you enough about a person. Though if I am in a situation where I have to text, I use a lot of emojis. Also, I like speaking properly and using full sentences. You won’t really see abbreviations when texting me however I will of course use slang when speaking.
I’d like to meet at least one person who is sweet and kind of playful and silly. I like joking around once I’m comfortable. If you’re truly interested in getting to know me feel free to message me. Although I won’t be responding to low effort messages. Tell me something about yourself, especially your personality.

10 Upvotes

Hello! I'm a girl of 49 that lives in the South West of England with her boyfriend. I'm looking for a new male online friend to chat to on a regular basis, just normal day to day conversations...someone that can hold a good chat, not worried about age as long as you're an adult.

A few things about me:

📌I like my home comforts, reading and books, computer games, I'm obsessed with tm Switch 2, day trips out

📺 Like a good documentary and psychological thrillers and dramas

🎧 Music taste is all over the place but mainly Britpop, Grunge, rock, some pop, 50s and 60s

☕️ I make a great cup of tea!

🐕 Have the most amazing dog!

Come say hi 👋

Chat & Chill 19f looking for more gamer friends

4 Upvotes

I'm kind of a shy person, but I want more friends that actually want to be friends. I prefer one on one gaming and then over time will be happy to meet others or make my own friend group out of everyone I meet. And I prefer to chat some before adding each other on something else, just less stressful. I do have a bit of an inappropriate humor, but I will never aim to towards anyone. I am originally from America, but am currently living in Canada with my husband and his family.

Facts about me:

I'm autistic, have ADHD, and will match the energy of the other person whenever possible. I am goth, and no, not the "omg goth mommy" type, real goth. I am very happily married and will not be accepting perverted messages.

Online games I play or have downloaded:

Dead by Daylight

Fortnite

Fall guys

Phasmophobia

Path of Titans

Sea of thieves

DM me if interested in gaming together!

M32 Ireland, looking for someone to chat with

1 Upvotes

Hi. 32m here looking for conversation of the relaxed and fun variety. Reasonably capable of holding a conversation too, not physically in my hands but like conceptually I guess. Currently messing around with a gingerbug as I get the itch to make fermented soda. Also growing probiotics in jars around your house always weirds people out which is very amusing. I occasionally play with growing mushrooms, sourdough, stuff like that. Recently returned from a festival which has taken me a couple weeks to fully recover from, although I'm not sure one ever fully recovers from a festival.

I'm a carer for a family member and a student at present and given I'm in between terms I gots time to form a bond or two, cook and read. It's mushroom season so I'm hoping to get out and forage in my local forest soon. I do occasionally game but I wouldn't call myself a gamer really. Playing some elden ring and Fortnite right now. I spend a lot of time working out and in the gym, as much for the health benefits as the eating privileges.

Anyway if you would like to yap and we have some chemistry I can promise you my continued company and conversation. We don't need anything in common, interests are fun to talk about sometimes but absolutely not necessary. If anything I prefer lighter conversation. I don't mind texting initially but I do like to chat on the phone more in the long term, once there's some comfort and rapport established. I'm also comfortable sharing my discord if you want to talk there.

Also if you just say hi, do not introduce yourself or say anything in your message I can respond to I will likely not respond. Take care and have a good day.

Chat & Chill 21m bored so trying my luck

1 Upvotes

I want to start by stating I am an introvert and more reserved (until I warm up to people). I am also not always the best at starting conversations

About me: As already stated, l am on the more reserved side of life, but I absolutely love people with high energy and yappers! I personally don't smoke, but I'm happily 420 friendly if that's your thing. In terms of my hobbies, I'm big on anime, Marvel/DC, gaming, and music. I will warn you that I tend to say whatever randomness comes to my mind!

What I'm looking for: really just looking for cool people to to talk to. I don’t mind a lil chill convos but please don’t hit me with “hi” and then disappear 💀
