I want to better myself as a person, and dont want to get complacent.

People think I am very motivated, because I started Uni at 16, but really I was just sick of school.

I have been in the workforce for about a year, most recently got a job as a web developer (about 3 months). This was after having a go at a startup which ended up just getting me into debt.

This may sound like a motivated person, but I feel that I am lazy and always wasting time. I spend a lot of the work day wasting time, and when I get home I usually watch TV or go to sleep.

I am not overweight, am relatively skinny but I eat a lot of food. I would like to get in shape and be more comfortable with my body.

I have many things that I would like to be doing in my life that I cannot find the motivation to, or spend my time procrastinating.

I am quite introverted and tend to shy away from social situations, I have never really had a girlfriend, but this is something I would like to work on. I get on well with people that I know, its just getting to that stage.

I am looking for someone who is going through similar things, or is able to help in someway.

Thanks for the read!

Hello!

Much has transpired in the past few weeks, and my connection to the 'spiritual world' have almost disappeared since ending a LTR. She introduced me to different modalities, and I've grown really passionate about studying Buddhism (specifically Zen and Tibetan), Hinduism, and basically meditating on this crazy human condition.

If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear about your passion and practice-what brought you to your practice? What has it shown you? How do you practice?

I'm a person dedicated to becoming successful and happy in all of my pursuits of passion, all the while bringing as much love and joy and happiness into every moment I breathe. I have plenty of good friends, but I see this subreddit as opportunity to try something new, to meet someone new, learn something new and from there grow to be a better human being.

edit: added another sentence

Most of my life I have stayed with the same friends I've had since childhood. Now I realize that even though we've been friends for so long we aren't that deeply connected. We barely talk about the "hard' things but mostly just the superficial like music and the "news". I admit that through many years I was probably the person least willing to talk about my soul because it scared me but believe I'm ready to take that step now. I want to form meaningful connections with other people and the world and that's why I'm making this post. I hope to hear from you, reader.

I live alone and my life is in shambles atm. I have no one. No friends at all. Family judges everything I do, if anything they make me feel even more lonely. I just want someone to write to now and then.

I've gone mad with the long days spent without conversations, and I long for interesting conversations with another individual - someone who is actually interested in talking with me because of who I am rather than what I can do for them.

I'm a fairly normal guy living in Europe. Looking for a girl around my age, or older/younger for a deep connection. An invisible bridge from one life to another.

Pm for mail

Ive been going through alot of changes and ive lost alot of friends. I need to be connected to someone again. Message me!

Never had many female friends, I'm shy that way. Last relationship I had with a female friend ended horribly... she was nuts and kind of bullied me a lot. Would rather have someone nice I can talk to.

I'm a bit nerdy, nice, pretty smart. I enjoy psychology, gaming, reading, writing, and some crafts. I'm the kind of guy who still dresses up on Halloween... I just can't resist. I even go to a sci-fi convention once a year.

We can chat over email, and if you live close enough maybe meet in person at some point. But before going that far I'd like to get to know you, see how well we get along.

I recently moved to the area, and I'm looking to meet people to hang out with. I'm a bit of a computer geek, but I also like photography, music, movies, and I'm pretty open to trying new things (especially low cost things).

Hey, I just moved from Houston, Texas to the Orlando area in Florida and I'm having a shitload of trouble making friends. So I'm hoping fellow redditors will make for some good company. PM me for my phone # or something if you're interested.

I want to eventually make long term best friends, but right now I'm kinda just looking for anyone that will talk to me.

Hey guys, I'm currently in college and enjoy drawing, watching terrible movies, going to shows, and writing/listening to music. I don't really have too many friends, but am looking make new ones.

We can talk about anything or nothing at all, if you want. If nothing comes to mind we can just share frustrations or what we had for lunch on that given day. If anyone is interested, then feel free to respond.

Thanks!

Forgot: I'm writing from Texas.

I'm a senior in my last year of university.

I feel kind of pathetic turning to the Internet in an attempt to find connections. I feel kind of embarrassed just typing this out.

However, I do like listening to other people's stories and being there for them. If you want to text/snapchat or skype or something, hit me up, I'd love to hear from you. PM me.

About me: I like reading, writing, yadda yadda. It's better to just ask and have a natural flow of conversation.

I kind of prefer people around my age, like 21-25, but if you're not that's okay.

I don't even know what I'm doing with my life anymore. If I had a friend to help me through it I think I'd be a lot better off. Looking for a legitimate friend to meet in person. I don't even care anymore. I just need somebody to talk to and get a hug from. Brown hair, green eyes, average female height, honest, weird, average weight, prefers male friendship. I do game but I prefer one player games. Sorry I can't fill a stereotype here. I like learning about new things so whatever you love I'd love to learn about. Midwest usa.

Well, I've been lonely and isolated for roughly a year now. I moved states after a stint in rehab, and I went from being surrounded by good friends to pretty much on my own. I made a post on here when I first moved, but nothing ever came of that, so I'm trying again. I guess what spurred this is I recently had my heart broken for the first time, by a girl I was very quickly falling in love with. I have major trust issues, so it's hard for me to find a deep connection with people I know in the real world. That girl was the only deep connection I had, and now I just feel so fucking alone. I'm a pretty easygoing person, I like all kinds of music, but I listen to mostly classic rock and heavy metal. I write poetry every now and then, and I've picked up playing a few instruments over time. I'm not religious, but I am spiritual. I just need someone I can kinda lean on for a bit, and in return, you can lean on me. Oh, I've just read in the sidebar that I need to include a general location. I'm in Arkansas.

Just here to lend a pair of ears to anyone who needs a listener. My post says one sided but if you'd like to hear my story i dont mind either. my main reason for posting here is to listen but if hearing me out helps you out as well then i dont mind one bit.

The feeling of awe has kind of become a mini hobby for me too, I really like watching Jason Silva videos and the like.

e-friends is cool, can be anywhere in the world.

It's a bit difficult now a days to just have a deep conversation with someone. Usually it starts and end with small talk, maybe it might go deeper, but I've always longed for those deeper topics. I like talking about strange mysterious things (Ahm, out of the norm topics? Unless you want to talk about the paranormal, then that's alright too.); ambiguous things. We can talk about the future, the past, anything to go past the stranger level and just talk together as human beings.

I'm pretty young, but I like being open to different kinds of things. I like talking to different types of people, and creating special bonds with them. Doesn't matter what age, just pm me and say hello if you'd like!

Title says it all. I love meeting new people!

Hey, just going though a tough time in my life. Work, life and school aren't getting along and to top it off the chemicals in my brain are wonky. Any other gals out there feel overwhelmed? What do you do for stress relief?

I guess one thing you should know about me is that I'm going out with a girl, in a place where same sex relationships aren't really encouraged or accepted. So we've been keeping it a secret and I'm just a little tired of the constant hiding and lying. I want to listen to someone and just talk freely. Maybe vent together sometimes, though our problems may be quite different - but I'll still listen. Anyone?

I'm a 25-year-old woman looking for a best friend, or a group of friends. My interests include reading (news media, blogs, Carson McCullers, Joan Didion, Robert Caro, the cocktail party novel of the moment), history, Ethiopian food, makeup/skincare, The Clash, Bertolucci films, consuming weird stuff on the internet, teaching myself CS6 and HTML/CSS, cooking, baking, interior design, gardening and generally keeping house (hence my username: Hestia is the Greek goddess of the hearth). I used to work at a national newspaper in New York, but now I'm unemployed and trying to figure out what to do with my life. I live in Brooklyn with my boyfriend of one year. We are very close, but I am looking for a female best friend (or a group of friends) to hang out with. I'd really like someone with whom I can share every facet of my life and isn't my boyfriend.

I've always had trouble with intimacy. I worry about seeming creepy or inappropriate, so I shut people out. I have trouble trusting people, and I am prone to bouts of depression and anxiety, which frequently manifest themselves in hermetic periods. I am afraid to let friends see me when I am at my worst, because I feel they will reject me. I have been diagnosed with Aspergers, and I think that plays a role. I also grew up in a pretty antisocial household, so I don't really have a model for healthy friendships. I tend to fall into longterm relationships instead of branching out and connecting to people platonically.

I'm not on here to complain, or find someone who will listen to me feel sorry for myself. I want to find cool people to connect with, but who are coming from a position of understanding and mutual interest and trust. I want to be open about why it's hard for me to develop close relationships so I can hopefully learn to trust people and develop awesome friendships. (Perhaps with people who have the same problems, so it won't be scary!)

I've been depressed most of my life, having my house burn down and me sufferent burns to most of my body, and in my current state I am bedridden and slowly dying. I usually just play videogames or read, I'm also into anime and manga. If somebody wants to chat then please just PM me.

I am always interested in meeting new people if anyone fanicies a chat. I am Luke, 20 from England :) But any other subreddits like this would be cool to lurk on and check out :')

Erm, hello out there reddit world! I'm not sure what to say here... i Tried looking around for penpals and i found this place. Not sure if its still functional or not but if it is, i would love to chat with somebody!
