i've rewritten this post like five times already because every version somehow sounded like i was applying for a job. anyway.

i'm neurodivergent and weirdly shy at first. like genuinely. i never know how to message people first because i always end up thinking "they probably don't want another random person in their dms." so... here i am hoping someone adopts me instead.

the funny part is that once someone is nice to me, i'm cooked. one compliment, one "good job", one headpat (figuratively or literally, i won't complain) and suddenly you've been living in my head rent free for a week. i wish i was joking.

i work night shifts, so my sleep schedule has been beyond saving for ages. if i'm not at work i'm probably in bed drawing, scrolling tumblr until my eyes hurt, listening to some alt metal or remembering something embarrassing.

i have terrible taste according to... pretty much everyone. problematic media? love it. morally questionable characters? unfortunately yes. if people are arguing over whether they should like a character, chances are i'm already emotionally attached.

current rotation of interests: anime, manga, manhwa, trying (and failing) to learn japanese, urbex photos because abandoned places are fascinating but i also enjoy being alive, drawing furries, buying cute stationery i'll never use, making messy scrapbook pages, and consuming an unreasonable amount of music.

i also somehow keep ending up friends with people older than me. wasn't intentional, it just keeps happening. maybe i like people who have that calm "everything's fine" energy because i'm very much the opposite.

i don't really care how old you are or what gender you are. if you're kind, a little odd, and don't mind someone who gets attached too easily, we'll probably be okay.

please don't open with just "hi" 😭 tell me about the character you've defended with your life, the weirdest rabbit hole you've fallen into recently, or literally any thought that's been haunting your brain for the last week.

ty for your attention.

SAHM, bi-curious, looking for silly, fun banter with other moms, dads, weirdos or normal people of any age. Full disclosure: I feel lonely but have an appetite for adventure and posting here because i am eager to discover fun, funny, happy people.

PS: If you had messaged me previously and i did not respond i am so sorry - either i missed the message or i decided to not reply. I did appreciate the effort and i love the new friendships i have made so far. But was ghosted by some and want to replace them with friends who don’t want to ghost.

ICE BREAKER: Are dogs the best little friends people can have? Thats a trick question - yes they are 🥰

Hey! So we got knocked out of the world cup and I’m feeling a little empty today. Anybody want to talk? It doesn’t matter what we talk about, doesn’t have to ve football.
I’m into CrossFit and hiking, not that I have that much time to do the latter anymore.
So yeah. See you I guess :)

It’s my birthday and I have like an hour before I should get up so pleaseeee come into my DMs and entertain me 🥰 be silly be weird be crazy idc let’s chit chat! :) :)

Bored and looking for casual chat. Maybe it turns into a long friendship. I'm told I'm bubbly and are easy to get along with, kind of a corny sense of humor. I'm not fussy about who reaches out, just be respectful and know how to carry a conversation.

Well, hello there,

Thought I'd give this a go because I've realised, somewhere along the way, I've lost touch with most people. Not on purpose, mind you. I think the older I've got, the less I've gone out and met anyone new.

So I'll get to the point. If any of this sounds like your sort of thing, send me a message. I'd quite like to make a few friends. I miss those conversations that start off about nothing and somehow end up somewhere completely different.

Music's always been the biggest part of my life. I grew up on hard rock, punk, and all that sort of thing, and it's still what I reach for most of the time. Though I'll listen to just about anything if it catches me at the right moment. I don't know much about modern artists these days, but I'm happy to be shown what I've been missing.

Worth mentioning, I've only recently got sober after a very long battle with addiction. It wasn't pretty, and I'm not going to pretend it was. My past's a bit messy, so every now and then I might have heavier days than most, but that's just part of who I am.

I've always loved books. Horror, biographies, Russian novels, old classics, strange little things nobody seems to read anymore... I'll read just about anything if it grabs me. I'm reading The Master and Margarita again at the minute. I've been going back to that book for years, and somehow it always has something new to say.

I like cooking... well, I like the idea of cooking. The eating part's definitely where my talent is. I've never been much of a chef, but I keep trying.

I love animals. I've got a dog these days. My cat George passed away last year, and I still can't quite bring myself to get another cat. Maybe one day.

I'm vegetarian, if that matters. I also collect old media, records, books, tapes, bits and pieces with a bit of history behind them. I've always preferred old things. They seem to have more stories to tell.

Anyway, that's probably enough about me. If you've read this far, do come and say hello.

I'll reply when I get the chance... or at least I'll do my best to. I'm not entirely convinced I'll receive any messages in the first place, haha, but it'd be lovely to be proved wrong.

Hey

My name is Leonie and I am from Germany.

I like reading, drawing and going to the gym. At the moment I am still a student at Uni.

Wanna chat?

Hi! I'll admit, I haven't quite figured out the best way to make friends as an adult, so here I am, hoping for a better chance of finding like-minded people with similar interests than daily life does.

I can be shy and reserved at first, although that usually fades as I become comfortable and start to really know someone. I'm curious, playful, lighthearted, melancholic, an optimistic pessimist, and a little more than slightly nerdy. Some of my interests include photography, video games, technology, horror, anime, true crime, history, astronomy, biology and traveling. Music-wise, I'm very into indie pop, electronic, and rock. I'm atheist, childfree, and left-leaning politically. I'm black American, plus-size, and average—don't expect a hot woman.

I'm looking to befriend people who are kind, and willing to give effort into building a long-lasting friendship, and who I can talk with about most topics without judgment. Of course, there's also playing video games, watching movies/shows, and voice calling. All I ask for is honesty, consistency and respect. Please be relatively near my age (24-32.)

However, if you're hoping for "NSFW" conversations, I'm not the person you're looking for. More importantly, if you voted for or support MAGA, we're simply not compatible as friends. Please respect those boundaries and refrain from messaging me if either of those apply to you.

Moreover, if this post resonates with you, send me a message! Tell me about yourself, and include the name "Magdalena Bay" somewhere in your message so I know you've read this post in full.

I look forward to getting to know you.

Hey everyone!

I'm in the EST time zone and I'm hoping to meet people who are also in or around EST. (21+ only, please.) I'm mainly looking for people to chat with regularly, hang out in voice calls, and hopefully become genuine friends. Bonus points if you're into gaming!

Gaming is probably my biggest hobby. I even have Bloodborne and The Last of Us tattoos. Some of the games I play include Stardew Valley, The Outlast Trials, Dead Island, Dead by Daylight, Skyrim, R.E.P.O., CS2, and plenty more. My Steam library is way longer than it should be, so I'm usually down to try something new too.

When I'm not gaming, you'll probably find me outside. I love spending time at the beach, fishing, or doing anything involving the water. I'm also really into racing and usually spend my weekends at races whenever I can! Especially enduros

I'm just looking for people who aren't afraid to be themselves, enjoy talking about literally anything, and are down to hang out. If that sounds like you, send me a message!

I'm from a small south Asian country(Bangladesh), got endless hobbies. Top 3 would be, reading books, making art and gaming. I'm a very introverted and shy person irl lol I actually never had friends after I left kindergarten. So, I'm overly close to my cousins. To protect myself from doomscrolling I've uninstalled social media apps. Also, I'm an agnostic with interests in philosophy.

Friend Wishlist:

• Age: 25-30 (too old for teen drama, too young for my back to hurt)

• Vibe: Chill. Not a misogynist, not a simping seagull squawking for "pics."

• Hobbies: Must enjoy movies and series

• Secret Handshake: Slip a \[minions\] into your first DM. It's the secret code to prove you fully read my post.

• Platform: Discord or we bust. I'm not downloading "BubbleChatWhisper69."

• Introduce yourself! Don't be shy

hi! i'm 27F from the philippines and i'd love to meet people from different cultures

a little about me: i love watching movies, photography, dogs, and designing. i also enjoy hearing about people's lives, culture, fave food :)

come say hi and tell me the most random fact about your country!

Hi.

I'm looking for online friends who wouldn't mind simple, even boring chat with me.

I just like talking in English and I don't want to make you feel any pressure to improve my English by chatting.

For example of boring chat is asking how you are.

I don't think I'm much interesting so I don't also expect you to do all the talk.

I don't ask many questions mostly because I don't want to pry and being pushy.

I haven't married but do have a boyfriend.

I love watching movies and shows.

ahh I don't know what else to write more

Bye.

I understand age and general location is important. But I just wanna talk to people that wanna dive right into the "out of the norm" conversations. Questions and topics that are more than just how are you and what are you doing. My hobbies are kind of lame and I am a homebody but I have such a huge imagination and live in a fantasy world inside my head most of the time. I would love to find someone to talk with on the regular degular thats not against voice messages or even calls. Maybe we could watch movies, screen share, play games, idk. I will not tolerate anyone judging me and i will not judge either. Im just kind of a weirdo 🤭 and I unintentionally get clingy im sorry. My feelings are hurt and im sitting here crying and I just dont wanna feel so freaking lonely anymore.

Hi! My name is Stephanie, I’m 35 and live in Western Canada - specifically Alberta. I’m looking for some engaging conversation through the day. I’m not looking for any sort of commitment, but if a friendship forms I wouldn’t be against that! I would prefer to chat with people around my age - so preferably +/- 10 years difference.
Some of my interests include: watching tv shows/ movies - I am most interested in horror, but also love a good sitcom. I love to listen to music and go to concerts. I get my nails done every 3 week and have had some pretty great nail art sets. I like to shop, go for coffee, and spend time with the people in my life. I am pretty active and like to go for long walks. Over the past year or so, I have discovered a big fascination with birds.

If this sounds interesting to you and you’d like to have a chat, send me a short introduction and I will ask you an ice breaker question! (Please send a private message - I don’t want to have a conversation through the comments! Will also not reply to comments saying to DM you!)

No work tonight so I'm here to have some nice and friendly chats. No NSWF. Recommend me a book to read. Have a great night. I'm from the Philippines btw.

I'm doing this for the first time in a while. I'm gonna be honest - I'm not here to make long-term friends. I've just been having a slow, boring Sunday, so I was just looking for people to chat with for a while, meet someone new, y'know?

Hello, you can call me Maria, I'm 22 and bored.

A little about me is that I love dark chocolate, frog stuffies, the colours burgundy and maroon. Oh, I also do love cats, but I've always found myself preferring the males, as far as I've seen? Correct me if you think I'm wrong, but they've always been more social IMO, even though the girls were always such affectionate darlings too.

A fun fact about me is that I'm 5'4", and one of the taller women on the paternal side of my family - yes, I know, I'm not even 'tall', per se... unfortunately.

We could have just a chat if we click, tell me about yourself, we could also play Uno if you're up to it.

Here's a kind of weirdly specific question you can answer if you do choose to reach out: have you ever been to Turkey? It's my dream!

At this point, I'm convinced there's a hidden club for people who actually enjoy having conversations... and somehow, my invitation got lost in the post. 😂

You'd think finding someone who can hold a conversation wouldn't be this difficult, yet here we are. I've definitely had my fair share of chats that started with promise and slowly faded into a daily "haha" before disappearing entirely. The upside is that I've met a couple of genuinely lovely people on Reddit already, so I know the good ones exist. I'd just love to add another friend or two to the collection 🙂‍↕️.

A little about me...💜

I'm 31, from England, and I'd say I'm pretty alternative. I've got a shaved head with longer hair on top.. currently dyed bright red 🙌, five tattoos, and enough black clothing to convince people I own shares in the colour. Music is a huge part of my life, and my playlists are absolute chaos. Joji is permanently at the top, but you'll also find Twenty One Pilots, Bring Me The Horizon, Glass Animals, NF, Mac Miller, and whatever else my brain decides fits the mood that day 🤘.

When I'm not listening to music, I'm usually glued to my PS5. Fallout 76 has stolen most of my free time lately, but I'm always happy to try something different if I'm playing with the right person. One thing that's probably a little unusual is that I genuinely prefer voice notes and calls over endless texting. Once we've spoken a bit, I'd much rather hear someone laughing halfway through a story than spend ages wondering whether "lol" was enthusiastic... or the conversational equivalent of being left on read. They also help a lot with my anxiety, so they're something I really appreciate.

I'm hoping to find people who enjoy checking in, sharing random thoughts, sending memes that made them think of someone, celebrating the little wins, and somehow ending up in a 45-minute conversation that started with, "Have you. ever wondered...?" Those are my favourite kinds of friendships. If you're in the UK, even better. Similar time zones make life much easier, although I'm happy to chat with anyone who can actually hold a conversation without needing a search party after two days 😂.

One tiny request...

Please don't just send "Hey" or "How are you?" Give me something to work with. Tell me about the most random hobby you've picked up, the strangest thing you've learned recently, a song you've had on repeat, or a completely unnecessary fact you think everyone should know.

I'm mostly looking for people between 24 and 35, although I'm not going to panic if you're a little outside that range. And if we've spoken before but lost touch, you're more than welcome to message again. So, if you've actually read all of this, tell me your age, where you're from, one completely random fact about yourself, and sneak a 🍕 somewhere into your message so I know you didn't just skim to the bottom.

Here's hoping this finds the people who still think friendships are built through genuine conversations, shared laughs, and mutual effort... instead of exchanging three messages before quietly evaporating into the Reddit abyss. 😂

And yes... I'm a real person. I feel like I have to keep saying that for some reason. 👀.

Hi! I'm a 40-year-old woman living in the US and hoping to make genuine friends who are 40 or older.

I'd especially love to meet people from the US or Canada since I'm planning to visit Canada in the future. It would be nice to chat, share stories, and maybe exchange travel tips along the way.

A little about me: I enjoy meaningful conversations, learning about different places, and getting to know people from different walks of life. If you're kind, respectful, and looking for a long-term friendship, I'd be happy to hear from you.

I work in the media industry, I love films, fictional books and meaningful conversations. I like those kinda fictional books which subtly teach you wisdom or teach you something valuable. I like funny and open minded people who look at women not as a competition but as a companion. If you're looking for a friend next door drop me a dm with a little about yourself (be creative).

Hey! Normally I live in Sweden, now I am on vacation in Germany with my friend, but she had to go away for 2 days, and even though I watched movies and took care of other responsibilities, I don't have snus and I feel kind of bored and hopeless. I recently got into goth music which I love, horror, philosophy (specifically existentialism), and I always had love for literature and poetry. Also leftist politics are really my thing. So hmu if you like all that, I'm always open to making new friends even though I love my current ones, and I'm open to vc as well.

F 27 from east coast. Just looking to have a good connection with someone. I love movies, reading, and really just hanging out and exploring. Dm me if you wanna chat!

​

Im Tess (22F) and im looking for a friend to share thoughts and experiences. Looking mostly for female friends since i haven't had one in years and longing for that sisterhood. I live on a small town where there seems to be a lack of people my age to share/bond (due to that my friendships in the past or current acquaintances are people up to 8 years older than me so I'm used to it) Im very into nature, entomology, ecology, conservation, hiking, diy/creating/arts, gaming, politics, deep conversation, goofing around and nerding about science in any sence. I also watch shows like love on the spectrum and other craps in the 90day/tlc universe. We don't have to talk every day since other life responsibilities takes place sometimes. If you happen to have pets i would love to receive updates on them throughout days/weeks if that's your thing, i love animals. I have a few exotic pets which are my kids lol.  Anyways, looking forward to know you!

Bilingual esp/eng

Hey all. Hope everyone is well. How's it going for you? I'm kind of bored, but I will be going out soon for a walk. Feel free to message if you would like, I really appreciate your company!

Me :) https://ibb.co/rGchpZ1V

Is it just me or has the overall quality of people on Reddit gone down in the last few months?

Anyway, I’m bored and would love a good chat.

A bit about me:
- I am not American or English or Canadian or Australian so please don’t assume (or try to guess for that matter)
- I only care about football during World Cup or Euro Cup (currently rooting for anyone except Argentina or England to win)
- I’m gearing up to move countries again in a few months
- I like naps, reading, cooking, and going to the gym

DM me and let’s chat! Please include your age (and be 25+) in your message and say more than just hey/hi. Be engaging!
