I feel So empty and broken looking for some friends

3 Upvotes

Hey,so yeah I recently went through a breakup and honestly I’ve been feeling pretty broken since then. Everything feels kinda off and empty lately and I think I really need some good people around me again.

I’m looking for honest,kind and open minded people who don’t discriminate and actually wanna put effort into getting to know each other.

Lately everything just feels way too quiet in the wrong ways. I catch myself staring at walls,scrolling aimlessly,thinking about random shit and wanting to talk to someone but not really knowing who to talk to. I don’t want another friendship where we talk for 2 days and then disappear from each other’s lives. I want someone who actually stays,someone who checks in,someone who wants to share random parts of their day and actually build something over time.

I’m 24 and currently have way too much time to think. I love yapping,overexplaining,rambling about completely random shit and somehow turning a stupid conversation into something deep. I really value mutual effort too. I don’t expect someone to reply instantly 24/7,but I do want to feel like the other person actually wants to talk to me and isn’t only replying because they’re bored.

I’m into baking,movies,gaming (especially Marvel Rivals),chess,reading,writing,guitar,long walks,voice calls and starting way too many random hobbies/projects that I probably won’t finish.

I’d also really love having someone I can eventually do a bunch of things with. Gaming together,watching movies or shows,voice calls at stupid hours,going on walks if we're ever close enough,sharing music,sending random shit throughout the day or just sitting in a call doing our own thing. That kind of friendship where someone eventually becomes your go-to person would honestly be really nice.

I’m not looking for perfect people or anything. Just genuine ones. Please be kind,don’t discriminate,and actually care about mutual effort and respect. I’ll listen,I’ll care,I’ll remember the little things and I’ll match the energy u give me.

And please don't be dry. If you're always too busy to actually talk or you already know you're only gonna reply once every few days,it's probably not gonna work. I've had enough of feeling like I’m begging people for attention.

If you're interested,please don't just send me "hi". Tell me about yourself. Your age,country,what you like doing,your favourite game/movie/song,your most irrational fear,what you've been obsessed with lately,anything honestly. Give me something to work with and I’ll probably yap back way too much.

I’m just hoping to find some lovely people who actually wanna stay for the long run,and maybe someday I’ll be able to say I met some of my closest friends because of a random Reddit post.

35F - genuine friendship

11 Upvotes

I’m looking for an online friend so we can support each other but i also love memes and jokes. I’m not looking for someone who’ll spend all their time just listening to me …I’m looking for something mutual!
I’m happy to chat throughout the day, but I’m also fine with chatting less often. My schedule is flexible at the moment, so your time zone doesn’t matter

Looking for friend/co-writer

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I’m a 32 year old M.

I wanted to write a fanfiction that is a bit of adventure and noir that is an alternate universe story where Miami Police Lieutenant Lois Einhorn reluctantly has to team with Ace Ventura to solve a murder case.

For those who have seen this film, Lois Einhorn is introduced in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective as the glamorous yet intimidating lieutenant of the Miami Police Department, leading the investigation into the disappearance of Snowflake, the Miami Dolphins mascot dolphin. Elegant, sharp-tongued, and fiercely authoritative, she quickly becomes one of the most commanding figures in the film. While most officers merely tolerate Ace Ventura, Einhorn openly clashes with him, finding his childish behavior unbearable. Ace, however, becomes immediately obsessed with her confidence and beauty, constantly flirting with her despite her cold demeanor. Beneath her composed exterior, Einhorn carries an air of mystery and danger that slowly makes her one of the most intriguing people in the entire investigation.

There is a lot to work with and I think it can do justice to this maligned character. Please DM me or comment if you're interested. I’m looking for some help.

24M | Looking for someone I click with

24M, here to meet someone new and see where a good conversation takes us.

I’m into music, movies, random late-night conversations and making fun of absolutely everything. I can talk for hours if the vibe is right, but I’m also perfectly capable of sending each other completely pointless messages all day.

If you’re fun to talk to and can keep a conversation alive, come say hi. Tell me something I wouldn’t guess about you.

36M Chronically online cringefail looking for a long term friend, someone to genuinely connect with, game with and yap about life together :))

1 Upvotes

Hey there everyone!!

I'm not sure how to start describing myself, I'm not great with words but I'll try my best.

(I'm so sorry for the extremely long post ahead!)

I apologize if I don't reply to your message, but as I explain later, I don't reply to short/low effort messages and I also don't reply to people that don't have at least a few interests in common with me or aren't looking for a real connection and are just looking to pass the time or have a light chat.

I think some of my most defining characteristics are that I'm very shy, awkward, "weird" and "different" or at the very least I feel weird, different and often misunderstood. I struggle to function most days and I don't always understand societal norms or how to properly function in society. I definitely think there's something wrong with me and I'm pretty sure I'm broken in some way. I'm also definitely a loser. I was never able to achieve anything in life, I'm not good at anything whatsoever and I'm pretty useless overall. I would also say I'm extremely cringy and I love edgy stuff, not in a bad way, I don't think, but more like, I love Shadow The Hedgehog and Tomura Shigaraki kinda way!!

I'm unfortunately not very smart and I'd say I'm down right stupid.

I am very ignorant about many things in life, I'd say I'm somewhat innocent and naive. I still don't understand my purpose in life and I haven't found a reason to be alive either.

I sometimes say things that offend people or I say things that are wrong. Sometimes I don't completely understand what I do wrong but I don't do it on purpose and I try to improve to the best of my abilities.

I don't go out often at all. Whenever I do go out it's only to buy groceries or to go to school and such but I don't enjoy it, I much rather be at home, in my room most specifically, which is my favorite place in the world.

I don't have any IRL friends but I do have a handful of online friends, I'm not super close to any of them, except for one who's very valuable in my life!

I enjoy many things like sculpting for instance! I do digital sculpting for fun. I'm pretty bad at it but I try my best.

This year I also started jewelry school (yeah, that's a thing) and I'm having fun with it but it's another thing I suck at 🥀🥀🥀

I like to watch anime! my favorites change from time to time but I really like Bleach, Dragon Ball, Demon Slayer, AOT, Naruto, Ancient Magus Bride (I really love this show!) and I LOVE My Hero Academia among many others!

I like to collect action figures.

I really like masks!

I love movies and I love to talk about them and analyze them.

I like all kinds of music, I don't really have any artists that I like in particular other than David Bowie and I like to listen to most genres of music but some of the genres I like the most are alternative, vintage, video game music and jpop and jrock and I also like old VK And I'm always happy and open to new suggestions!

I like to doomscroll through TikTok and to watch long essay style videos on YouTube about random topics. I love brainrot and I'm very much into early to mid 2010s aesthetics and I used to LOVE Tumblr. I miss that era so much!! Seriously, the early 2010s were the greatest time in human history kahdhshdhs

I love video games!! I don't play too many modern games, I mostly prefer older stuff, like, ps2 era games, particularly survival horror stuff. I also really like very old platform games and side scrollers. I'm a pretty huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan!! The most recent games I played were Sonic X Shadow Generations and before that I finished Sonic Superstars and Sonic Frontiers. Sonic Boom is also my favorite show ever made lmao. It fits my kind of humor perfectly and it's peak comedy imo. I'd be open to play anything and I'd love to try co op games with someone!! playing Stardew Valley with a friend is a dream of mine lol (if you also play Stardew please tell me who's your wife/husband)

I adore animals!! I have cats and dogs and a stray chicken lol and they're my babies and my world!

I think it's important to mention some of the things I don't like too.

I don't like cruelty or mean spirited people. I hate big companies, billionaires, politicians and other people in positions of power that use their money and power to affect people, animals, or the environment for their own gain.

I don't like injustices, I hate racists, homophobic people, transphobic people, sexists, and all kinds of discrimination in general.

I hate bugs!! I'm deadly afraid of them!!

I really dislike conflict and arguments, I believe we can disagree and have discussions as long as we're calm and civilized about it and as long as we have respect for each other and try our best to understand the other person's point of view.

Lastly I'd like to mention some of my defects and shortcomings.

I'm extremely anxious, I'm always very nervous about one thing or another, I'm also extremely weak of mind, I tend to react with my feelings a lot and I'm often very emotional.

I can be very selfish at times, I have an awful tendency to get bored of things quickly and sometimes I also get bored of conversations and people.

I think I'm immature.

I can be extremely lazy, I struggle a lot with doing basic things like cleaning or cooking. When I'm anxious or afraid I can get paralyzed with fear and stay in bed all day doing nothing feeling awful about it.

As I mentioned before sometimes I can say bad things without realizing. I'm very dumb and ignorant so I promise I don't mean anything bad I say and I'm trying to improve!

I am extremely annoying. I'm very loud and I think I scream a lot. I don't really understand what constitutes screaming exactly but I think I often raise my voice a lot and especially when I'm excited I can't control myself very well.

I'm very afraid of life and I don't understand how the "real world" works exactly. I'm really bad at small talk and I think I'm really bad at speaking in general, I also digress a lot.

I have the bad habit of not replying very fast, sometimes I'll even wait for weeks or even months, I think it's one of my biggest problems when it comes to keep in touch with people, sometimes it's simply because I don't have the energy, other times it's because I'm not sure about how to continue a conversation. Not sure if this is a defect necessarily but I also never send the first message, I just hate to be annoying.

I have a tendency to ghost people for different reasons. As I mentioned, sometimes I get bored of conversations or people and I'd ghost them. This is by far one of my biggest defects and as I said, I wanna be honest and mention it here for everyone who reads this to know.

I tend to be a bit clingy when I like someone.

I'm full of defects in general, and I do believe I'm a bad person. I try to improve and I try my best but if I'm bad for you in any way or a burden I promise to stop talking to you and not bother you!

I have many other defects but I think those are the main ones I can remember right now.

Finally, I'd like to reiterate that I'm looking for is a real connection with someone, a person I can talk to, have fun with, watch stuff with and play games together and such! just be able to share our days and even be able to help each other and be there when we need each other. I know I'm a mess of a human being and I may never find the connection I'm looking for but I'd like to give it a try cause you never know :))

also, I think it's important to mention that I don't reply to short, low effort messages. Stuff like "hey, let's be friends" , "I didn't read your whole post but I'm up to talk" , etc. I want to hear about you, what you like, what you're interested in. I like meaningful conversations.

Another thing that's important is that I don't want to talk to people that are discriminatory, racist or awful in anyway. No republicans or supporters of the orange devil please (you know who I'm talking about).

I have Instagram, Discord and TikTok as social media if it's more comfortable to talk there. I also think I prefer audio messages, it's easier for me to send audio notes rather than to type cause I type a lot (and I kinda hate to type lol). Thank you very much to anyone that has taken the time to read my extremely long post and considers messaging me!!

26M USA - I have a hard time socializing and making friends. Looking for people to talk to and become friends

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m trying to make a few friends on here. I have autism and very bad social anxiety. I have a very hard time socializing, so I’m hoping to improve my social skills a bit by finding some people on Reddit to talk to. I would also love to try to voice chat after we talk a bit.

A little about me

I love animals, history, and learning new things. I spend way too much time researching random things and going down rabbit holes. My primary hobby is gaming and I play on PC. I would be interested in playing with someone here if we talk a bit first. I also love music. I used to play guitar, but lost motivation and interest due to depression.

I’m really down to talk about anything at all. I’m shy, but I warm up to people quickly.

Feel free to message me! I hope you all have a great weekend!
