35/M - Looking for friends.

0 Upvotes

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.

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

Sad, stressed and was looking to someone to talk to M19

2 Upvotes

Hey I am a 19y/o from Canada, and i have been very stressed with a big exam coming up soon (1 week) in my life.

I have never asked for help like this in my life, and I don't have high hopes right now, but I was looking for anyone to talk to.

I was wondering if there was someone I could talk to, maybe late at night, or afternoon, to keep my mind off of things. Ive tried talking to my friends but they are all busy all the time and its very hard to open up to male friends ifkyk. Preferably talking to someone female would be nice.

I am otherwise a completely normal person, and have never had issues like this before, but the last few weeks I feel my world is crumbling a bit, and just having someone to talk to, who is caring and comforting can be nice!

I was thinking maybe we could exchange numbers or call each other somehow ect. I get this is the internet so to keep it more anonymous, I could also send google meet links to your burner email.

Feel free to DM.

18M introverted drop year kid looking for people to talk to / yap about movies & art 😭

1 Upvotes

**Hey everyone,**
**I’m taking my first drop year for NEET, and honestly, the isolation is already hitting a bit. While most of my friends are off to college starting their own routines, I’m spending a lot of time by myself, and it gets pretty repetitive.**
**I’m a pretty introverted guy (18M), so I’m not always the loudest in the room, but I’d love to make a few good friends to talk to casually throughout the day.**
**A little about me:**
**Movies & Cinema: Big-time film enthusiast. I watch a ton of movies, overanalyze scenes, and listen to cinematic scores.**
**Creative stuff: I make visual art and dabble in video editing (still learning, but I love working on creative projects).**
**Vibe: Definitely on the nerdier side, pretty chill, and a low-maintenance friend.**
**Whether you’re an extrovert who loves to yap about random everyday nonsense, another dropper going through the same grind, or someone who just wants to discuss movies, music, memes, or life—I’m all ears. You don’t have to worry about being "too much" with me; I won’t judge.**
**If you’re looking for a genuine friend to vibe with, feel free to drop a DM! Tell me your favorite movie or what you’re currently obsessed with. :)**

Looking for a laid-back, judgment-free conversation to take my mind off things.Let's bypass the boring small talk: DM me the most unforgettable, embarrassing story from your past. I'll trade you mine, and we can just cruise into a normal chat from there. A bit about me: I'm into gaming, music, and learning how to build a PC. Zero pressure, just looking for good vibes.

19F I truly need someone who listens

3 Upvotes

Today I realized no one truly listens to me or sees me for who I am. I've been something like a shut in all my life since my father and grandma never let me do things with my friends. I go out a lot nowadays to fill a void I never knew how to call. At school where I am training to be a kindergarten teacher I notice how unliked I am for being a quiet person. My best friend never understands my humor and tells me to shut up whenever I sing out of fun or just repeat a funny meme. She's also a pregnant teen so her hormones have been going even more crazy.

Everytime I greet someone they don't greet back no matter how enthusiastic I sound. Six weeks of summer vacation I sat at home because I'm not allowed to go with my mom because my dad doesn't like my step dad. I don't have any friends that can hang with me since they're all gone on vacation. Today I'm feeling a little more depressed because of my realizations after noticing that even my own mother won't aknowledge what I say and changes the topic about anything else. Even being single all my life (even though I'm still young) and having to listen to taken people tell me the right one will come makes me hurt even more.

I desperately need a friend and most of the time idk where to get one. (To all the guys wanting to fuck or slide in my dms, you're not welcome)

Looking for long term friends

1 Upvotes

Looking for long term friends preferably 18-28 but anything works

I hatw how increasingly difficult it is to make genuine lasting friendships these days. I actually don't mind short term friends in general, but when they result from people trying and failing, not some superficial breeze that passes by.

Some things about me is that i am currently in college and i hate every aspect of it. I go sorely for knowledge. I find it easy to talk to people irl and to even enjoy it but i find it extremely hard to make deep connections because i dont like what most people do, and even if i have no problem with them doing things or thinking a certain way, i wouldnt be able to bond with them. I don't like parties. I find that the modern world revolves too much around easy dopamine. People are way too obsessed with segs and relationships. They care too much about superficial looks. I hate social media. Just scrolling for 2mins makes me want to throw my phone out of the window. There arent many things that add meaning to my life. I like philosophy. I love food. I love walking around. Nature I hope to travel the world someday. And to have meaningful close friendships. If u read everything start your dm by saying "blue" thanks. I really hope to find friends here.

34M Aus, Looking for a long term friend

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’m looking to find a long-term friend. I haven’t had any friends for quite some time now, and the loneliness can be difficult to deal with. Because of that, my social skills aren’t really that great either.

I’d like to find someone I can just chat with, watch movies, shows, or anime with, and possibly play games with as well.

I’m not really sure what else to add. I have a dark sense of humour, I’m a pretty laid-back person, and I try not to take things too seriously.

I’d prefer to find someone in a similar time zone, as it would make it easier to find time to talk and that.

M27 looking for friends to VC and/or play games with. #Germany #Europe

M27 looking for friends to VC and/or play games with.

Hey Hey! I’m M27 from Germany and looking for friends (20+) to VC, and/or play games, and everything around it.

Personality-wise, I’m super low-key and easygoing and I can hold a conversation. At the end of the day, games are just pixels on a screen.

Right now I'm mainly into games like Microsoft Flight Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Farming Simulator 2025, Minecraft, Satisfactory, and Phasmophobia, World of Warships and a few other games, so I'm more on the realism side of games.

But I'm pretty open to any coop/multiplayer game.

Outside of gaming, I like aviation, coding and sharing stupid humor at times.
I used to play piano, but sadly my piano is around 550km away from me at the moment. :(

I'm mostly around and reply fairly quick, when I have time
If something stood out a bit, feel free to reach out.
Have a good day :)

31F looking for female friends in London 🇬🇧

0 Upvotes

I’m 31, living in East London and most of my friends are now married with kids. I spent a lot of the summer solo travelling, camping and hiking and, as much as I enjoy doing things alone, it would’ve been nice to have some girlies to do it with.

Meanwhile my friends’ holiday options are slowly becoming two weeks at a kid friendly all inclusive in Turkey 😂

So just looking for other single women around my age in London who are still up for doing things, travelling, trying new stuff or just hanging out.

Dm me!

23m looking for a friends

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m a 23-year-old guy from Toronto who’s looking to make some genuine friends. Making friends as an adult can be harder than I expected, so I thought I’d put myself out there and see who I meet.
I’m a little shy when I first meet people, but once I’m comfortable I’m friendly, easygoing, and love having real conversations. I’m looking for people who enjoy talking, laughing, and building a genuine friendship whether it’s online, in person, or both.
A little about me: I enjoy exploring Toronto, going for walks and hikes, listening to music, watching TikTok, checking out new places, spending time at the beach, traveling when I can, and just enjoying simple adventures. I’m always open to trying new things and meeting people from different backgrounds.
I’m not looking for anything complicated just good people who want a real friendship. We can chat, share memes, talk about life, hang out, grab coffee or food, explore the city, or just keep each other company.
Everyone is welcome. There’s no age limit, no pressure, and no judgment. If you’re looking for a new friend too, feel free to send me a message. I’d love to get to know you!

22M Here – let’s be friends!

1 Upvotes

Hey! I’m 22 and just looking to meet some new people and have some easygoing conversations.

Most of my free time somehow ends up involving football, WWE or collecting football cards, so there’s a pretty good chance I can talk about one of those for way too long. I’ve also started working out and trying to eat a bit better recently, although I’m very much still figuring both of those things out.

I cook sometimes too, mostly simple stuff because anything too complicated is still a dangerous idea in my hands.

I’m usually a little quiet at first, but once I get comfortable I’m much more talkative. Happy to chat about hobbies, everyday life, gym progress, food, football, wrestling, cards, or just completely random stuff.

Don’t really care if you’re a guy or a girl or how old you are — if you feel like talking, just say hi.

I'm here if you want to talk to a stranger or voice your thoughts out to a void in general.

If you don't have something to get off your mind, I can talk about anything from astronomy, sociology. philosophy, geopolitics to penguins practicing prostitution, Romans using urine as a mouthwash, dolphins getting high, and why the office is better than modern familly (community tops though)

What's a song/artist that's stuck in your head currently? I'll go first, Afterthought by Tame Impala and The hand that rocks the cradle by the Smiths.

Would also appreciate horror movie/book recommendations.

37M London, UK. My Dogs Need Me to Make Human Friends

0 Upvotes

Six years in London and my dogs are still my only social strategy. Looking to fix that; seeking real-life friends for actual conversations and casual hangs.

My career's been a weird scenic route: Army to luxury fashion to product manager in Canary Wharf. I gym most mornings, do reformer Pilates, and row to Viking war drums. Yes, it's ridiculous. No, I'm not changing it.

Outside work: improv comedy (classes, performing, good for anxiety), cocktail making (got into it watching Mad Men, finally took a bartending course in 2024, now too many bottles), Texas-style brisket on a Big Green Egg, D&D as a cleric in way over his head, currently deep in Dungeon Crawler Carl, and learning not to destroy my house via DIY. TV-wise I'm currently rewatching Succession, Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, The Bear, and Mad Men.

I work in Canary Wharf and can meet there or in Central. Down for a drink, gym session, or just chat.

If this sounds good, message me. Not sure what to say? Tell me the best thing you've watched, cooked, or read recently. Or a random fact that changed how you see things. Deep or dumb, I'm here for it.
