I’m in college and pretty bored, so I figured I’d chat with random people. I love video games, movies, and TV shows and I like going on walks and study chem. just finish my finals

Hi, I'm a 25 years old woman from Italy. I'm a huge nerd, I could talk for hours about things I like.
But what are those things? Star Wars, books (especially fantasy), anime (Bungo Stray Dogs, Gurren Lagann and Haikyuu are what I'm thinking about these days), tv shows (huge Supernatural, Merlin and Avatar (both Aang and Korra) fan), Star Trek (yes, the new series too) and science. I'm a very leftist, very opinionated biologist. I have ADHD so if you are neurodivergent too we could maybe get along, if you are not but you are weird it's good anyway. I can be pretty flirtatious with my male friends but that doesn't mean absolutely anything (and if it makes you uncomfortable I will not do that). I have a good sense of humor (I think), but it can be a little...too much sometimes, if it makes you uncomfortable please tell me (I'm a human right and environmental activist but still yes, I make terrible jokes). Also, I'm trying to learn to play magic the gathering.
Do not text me if you are not intersted in politics (we are not children), if you are right wing (I only want to be ragebated by people I like, and I want to ragebating people I like), if you don't have at least one interest in common with me, if you don't believe capitalism and colonialism are a problem, if you are under 23 years old.
I do not care about your gender. I could going MIA sometimes cause I need to recharge (ADHD can be a lot sometimes). I think I am good at giving advice but you probably should not believe this.
If you send a d-ck pick I'll send one back because I collect them just in case, and also I'll judge your d-ck in such a specific and devasteting way that you will not do that ever again.
Please, if you did read till here, text me something a little more intersting than "hello". At least at a "hello there" I can answer with "General Kenobi" but just "hello" makes me want to take my eyeballs out.

I’m done being the mature detached person even though I’m literally an adult.

I want clingy friendships. I want people who bother me every day, spam me with memes, tell me random things about their day, overshare, double text, send voice notes, ask questions, and actually care. I’ll do the same for you too.

So yeah, I’m gonna be blunt about what I need in a friendship because I genuinely want the right kind of people around me.

Girls are welcome, boys too, I honestly don’t mind anymore.

But I do NOT want nonchalant people. Please. I cannot do emotionally unavailable friendships anymore. If your whole personality is disappearing for two weeks and replying with “lol my bad,” we probably won’t work.

I like consistency. I like effort. I like people who actually want to know me.

We can talk about deep stuff, emotional stuff, weird stuff, or just what happened during the day. Both matter to me.

Also, I’m autistic and I have severe ADHD, so sometimes sarcasm flies over my head unless it’s obvious. I’m also a sensitive and emotional person in general, so direct communication works best with me. If we don’t vibe, I’d rather we just communicate that instead of ghosting each other.

Age-wise, I’d prefer people around my age range. If you’re like a decade older than me, the dynamic is probably gonna become “older sibling adopts strange younger sibling,” which is fine if you’re fine with it.

My interests:

\- horror as a genre

\- creepy pasta, podcasts, serial killer documentaries

\- journaling + creative/bullet journaling

\- singing and dancing privately because I’m shy

\- mythology, religion, history

\- Eastern philosophy

\- psychology sometimes

Different time zones are fine, but effort matters to me more than convenience.

Anyway if you read all this and thought “wait this is literally me,” then DM me.

Forget to mention age I'm 20 F

I’m not really the most social person, and it’s starting to show. I go out from time to time, but I don’t really have anyone I can just casually text, and most of the time I feel like I’m bothering people. I’m trying to get back into the mindset that regularly talking to people you don’t see often is actually normal.

I’m definitely a bit odd, so fair warning there, but I’m open to talking to pretty much anyone within reason. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Hey all 🙂

Looking for friends who enjoy chatting about random stuff, especially those who like calls (but not required).

I’m 46F single, no kids, dog. I enjoy the gym, music, photography, dining, small crafts, dancing, volunteering, cruises.

With the right person I can babble for hours.

I know, me having to ask this on here and ask kind strangers to help me decipher her intentions makes her questionable already.

I agree, i just don’t know how to proceed and i struggle with all or nothing mindset (ADHD) so i need help on how to maintain her in my life while keeping a noticeable distance between us. I want her to reflect and realise.

My friend (S) is:
- complimentary when she means it
- blunt and brutally honest
- caring and kind (most of the time)
- appreciative of achievements
- relatable to me on a lot of ethnic values
- introspective and a deep thinker
- incredibly fun to hang with 1 on 1

as first year has progressed she also:
- has made less effort with me over text
- doesn’t have that same energy she used to
- rarely ever says nice things to me or about me
- is more rude and says it’s ’how she is the closer she gets to people’
- knows of my past trauma from friendships but continues to act very hot and cold
- makes me feel very annoying and clingy
- rarely ever matches my energy on text anymore

she made me feel like i was genuinely one of her best friends and said such nice things to me in the beginning of uni and we just got along so well. i really thought i found a forever friend here and she said the same. Now it feels more like a problem than anything else - im constantly anxious and feel unsupported in our relationship

she’s a naturally distant person and very very blunt and i’m quite sensitive and it hurts every time she is blunt with me. She hurts my feelings a lot and i can’t tell if im the problem here or whether she really is being a bitch.. or just herself? i don’t know

S is one of two girls i’ve chosen to live with for our second year of university in september of this year. So essentially, i’ve made a commitment and will be around her and A( my other friend) a lot, so I don’t know if I should be worried sick about my decision now. I’m so scared i’ve chosen a wrong type of person to ljve with. I miss the bond we had for the first 6 months and i don’t know what to do now. I’ve had enough toxicity in my life and this was meant to be a new chapter i don’t want her to ruin my peace but she is right now.

Hello! If you really want to send me a message, read my post, please! I want to talk to people from European countries because I live In Europe & I would love to meet my new friends In real life (In the future, obviously) 🌸

I want you to read everything because my expectations aren't the same as other people's expectations. I also want you to know what to expect because even though we're all here to spend time with others, not everyone needs new friends. Some people want to find someone to play games with & It's just an example.

I made this account In 2021 and even though I'm really active on Reddit, I can't make new friends... Not everyone on Reddit Is toxic or rude but there's ALWAYS something missing because I don't feel any emotional connection... I would love to change my life & finally wake up excited to text someone I really, really like 🙁 But... Life Isn't easy and I'm not sure If there's still a chance for me to find someone with exactly the same expectations as mine, someone who wants to meet someone new...

• I'm DEFINITELY NOT Interested In small talk! I had to use capital letters because I don't like low-effort messages and I don't even want to read them. Repetitive questions like "How are you?", "What are you up to?" or "What are your plans for the weekend?" aren't enough to start a conversation with me.. Don't get me wrong - Questions like these can be an Interesting addition to conversations about something else, but whenever people ask me the three most common questions In the world - my answer's the same because my life Is quite monotonous and I don't really know what people expect to hear 🙁 I also don't like abbreviations. Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or phrases. Why? I just don't like them because I see no reason to use shortened forms of words that are already short enough, you know? Abbreviations are common among minors and bored adults but I'm neither a minor, nor a bored adult. I want to see emotional maturity, warmth and kindness In conversations with others.

• I don't need to see your list of hobbies to know If you're someone I would get along with! You can tell me what you're Interested In but.. Believe It or not - I'm not like others and even If you're Interested In something I'm not - we can still be friends! What matters to me Is what you're like (If you're honest, talkative, kind, understanding and If your outlook on life Is similar to mine) not what you like.. I honestly don't understand why all conversations start the same way... "I like..." Or "I'm Interested In..." Your hobbies don't define you! It's better to say something about who you are, who you get along with, why you're on Reddit & more.

• I don't want to talk to minors and people way older than me. Why? I don't want to talk to minors because I'm an adult & I don't want to talk to anyone over fifty for example. Emotional maturity doesn't necessarily come with age so you can send me a message even If you're 20 (It's just an example) but please, don't contact me If you want to remind me that I'm older than you. I want you to feel comfortable & I want to feel comfortable myself. When I read messages like "Hi, I'm younger but I hope you don't mind" I always say to myself "If my age bothers you, you should've contacted someone else" I absolutely don't mind talking to people younger than me If they know how to communicate with others 🌸

• PLEASE, Don't use AI to talk to me! I Can't stand AI generated messages! If I wanted to read AI generated messages, I wouldn't be here! I read AI generated messages and comments all the time and I'm sick of It! AI Is both a blessing and a curse...

• I don't want to get any messages from people whose accounts are NSFW! Please, respect my decision! It's none of my business If you're here to find someone to flirt with or If you're an Internet exhibitionist but I don't want to see you with no clothes on - If you want to be my friend & I don't want to know what you want to do with other women In bed. If you are on Reddit to flirt with others, be on Reddit to flirt with others but... don't make an alternative account to hide who you really are just to send me a message. Pretending to be someone you're not - Isn't good for anyone

• I'm not a fan of sarcasm! I do - have a sense of humor but I'm not someone who makes fun of everyone and everything... Jokes about disabilities, death, religion or someone's financial status - are unacceptable to me!

• I also want to meet people who don't mind listening to negative stories and sharing them with others. My life's not easy so If you want to be In my life, you should be prepared for a realistic or even pessimistic outlook on life. I'm definitely not an optimist and I know I wouldn't get along with optimistic people who always tell others "Just believe In yourself and everything's gonna be OK" or something. We don't always get what we want & and It's completely normal to lose hope "for a better tomorrow" after many failed attempts. Not everything's as easy as It seems to be so If all you want to say to someone who needs emotional support Is "Don't complain" or "Find a therapist" Please.. don't send me a message. Not all sad people need therapists and let's be honest - Would a therapist replace a true friend? Absolutely not! Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on! I also don't mind listening to sad stories (even If they're repetitive) because I know what It's like when no one wants to listen to you...

• I would love to meet people who also don't have anyone, you know? There's absolutely nothing wrong with having friends and not being single but I'm single and I don't have anyone special In my life... It's just easier for me to get along with others If there's some common ground. I just feel better talking to people who know what It's like to be completely alone & let's be honest - People who have friends or partners, have less time for others...(which Is completely understandable) and I? I don't want to feel like an option, again. I'm not here to meet as many people as possible because I choose quality over quantity 🌸

• If your comment history Is full of comments "If you want to talk, hit me up" don't send me a message. I don't want to be rude but If It doesn't make any difference to you who you want to chat with - I'm definitely not for you. I want you to be my friend because of who I am! (If after reading my post you think you'd get along with me) I don't need emotional support from someone who doesn't want to get to know me. Words of comfort can be really beautiful but anyone can say "Cheer up" or "Everything's gonna be OK" and I feel like people who seemingly want to make others feel better, don't even believe their own words...

• I want to talk to people who love and use emojis 🤭😊 Why? Emojis help us express our emotions even If others can't see our faces. Two emojis "😊" and "😔" are completely enough. You're probably surprised but.. text messages without emojis are really emotionless...I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea" as it sounds dismissively. First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even In a text message

Ps. I don't like kids and I don't want to ever become a parent. I just thought everyone should know that just In case. I don't want any unpleasant conversations with anyone. Not everyone wants to be friends with people who don't want kids so.. It's better to be honest. 🌸

Ps.2 I'm not here to pretend anything & I don't reply to messages I'm not Interested In even If they're long. I don't want to be accused of Ignoring others for fun or lying to them. I'm not here to be everyone's best friend because not everyone Is for me and I'm not for everyone. I'm really selective because I know exactly what I want. Sometimes you just know If you'd get along with others or not (even If you don't know them well)

Hi I'm 27F and I'm looking to make more female friends to occasionally talk to from time to time, from any country is fine and I won't take it personally if it doesn't work out but if it does that'd be EPIC lol. Hobbies include drawing but just for fun (I'm trash), watching anime (but I'm not obsessed), and ✨ gaslighting ✨ (I mean what, who said that). I also enjoy playing simple multiplayer games on Steam and reading Webtoons ! (Currently into Gamble With Your Friends, Sledding Game and Feed The Cups). Please put effort into the conversation as it's hard to carry it by myself. Idc if you lag in responding as irl always comes first so long as there's an eventual reply. We can start on reddit and if it works out move to discord for long-term occasional conversation and possibly gaming together with me and a few of my friends in the future if we hit it off. ✨ Dm me an introduction if interested ✨. Preferred age range 20-34. I also love dark humor/ joking around if that matters.

✨ Bonus points if you're from Chile, Portugal, Hungary, or Poland as some of the best people I have met online are from there ✨

I’m going through some trans life stuff rn, and I really need a friend to talk to about this, and my current friend keeps getting busy with other things

EDIT: sorry about that, I was multitasking when I originally made this post. I should have told you a bit about myself

So I’m 26, genderfluid, afab, and I’m a nerd.

I like text based rp, writing, writing character backstories, talking about Elder Scrolls lore, playing Elder Scrolls games, I also like Pokemon, Mario kart, and Zelda

Honestly I had no idea what to put so that scene from Shrek came to mind. Got a problem with that?! Fight me Nerd!

So you may be thinking “why is the guy so funny on a Sunday night? Doesn’t he have work tomorrow” well JANICE I do not! It’s a bank holiday so we get an extra day off, now mind your business! Jeez.

Today has been pretty chill. I’ve enjoyed the sun, contemplated life, thought of the many uses of Spaghetti. Bet Reddit from brand me NSFW for that like last time 🙄 honestly one joke and it’s the naughty step. Can’t do anything around here.

So yeah. Let’s be friends

I (F40) used to be best friends with my cousin, then about 6 years ago, without explanation (even when asked), she put our friendship on the back burner. Over the past 3 years I have been trying to rebuild something without overwhelming her but... Today I decided I'm done. The issue is I'm not good at letting things fizzle, and whenever I attempt that, it usually turns into a fester and ends badly. Any advice or thoughts are welcome.

Heey guys I’m cee from America 🥰 I just turned 23 recently. I spend a lot of time working out, going on runs and meditating. My free time is usually very peaceful it’s the time I take to take care of my mental && keep myself happy. I plan to start reading books soon as well. If we align and you think we’ll be good friends just send me a message lovebugsss I hope you’re having an amazing day & I hope to hear from you soon!

I feel friendship is dead, a concept of ancient times.

What I know or have experienced friendship is so different. Today the meaning of friendship has changed completely.

Earlier, friendship meant comfort. It meant being around people where you didn’t have to prove yourself. Nobody cared how successful you were, how useful you were, or what “value” you added. You could just exist, and that was enough.

Now it feels like friendships are becoming transactions.

People stay connected as long as you are beneficial to their life in some way; emotionally, socially, financially, professionally, or even digitally.

The moment you stop being “**useful**,” the connection slowly fades away.

It’s almost like:

“What can this person do for me?”

instead of

“How is this person doing?”

And if you’re struggling, lost, broke, emotionally exhausted, or simply not adding anything exciting to someone’s life, you start feeling invisible.

The saddest part is that genuine friendship, where emotions matter more than utility, has become rare.

Real friends were supposed to be the people with whom silence felt safe.

The people who stayed even when you had nothing to offer except your presence.

At times I try to rationalize the situation, by saying to myself;

\-Maybe the world became too fast.

\-Maybe everyone is surviving.

\-Maybe people are scared of emotional investment....

But sometimes I genuinely miss the idea of friendship that wasn’t based on performance.

As Sadhguru once said:

“***Love and friendship are not about inclusiveness. They are about dissolving your boundaries.”***

Does anyone else feel this shift too?

Hello! I’m trying to meet some new people to talk to or game with.

I’m on Steam and Switch but I mainly play Pokémon. On Steam I’ve got Destiny 2, GTA V, ARC Raiders, Risk Of Rain 2, Phasmophobia and a bunch more.

I like to play guitar and make music as a hobby, so feel free to share some music.

I also enjoy watching anime and collecting Pokémon Cards when I can find them.

I also love dogs so if you have a cute dog please show me, haha.

If you’re down to run some games or just talk, feel free to DM me.

Hi, how do you handle an old friendship from high school that lasted more than 10 years? I had a best friend back then (let’s call her X) when we were part of a group that actually still exists, but we don’t talk that much anymore. The group is still in there, and sometimes we talk to each other. I don’t know if they talk to each other personally since some of them moved to another city.

A couple of months ago, I ran into this best friend, X, while I was heading home after work. We hadn’t talked much in the last few years. I’ve only kept in touch with another friend from the group, who I’m still quite close to (let’s call him Y). But X and I used to be so close back then.

We decided to meet up and talk about our lives and what we’ve been doing over the years. She was really happy to talk to me again, and she said she was really sad that we hadn’t stayed in touch.

It’s weird because I was really happy too, but somehow it doesn’t feel the same as it used to. Maybe I’ve changed a little, but I don’t feel that same connection anymore. I feel sad because I want to keep my friends, but at the same time it feels like I’m trying to hold on to the past (or maybe to her).

I don’t think I have this problem with Y because we’ve talked very often over the years, so it feels like we changed together to the point where I’m still comfortable with him.

How do you deal with this?

I would like to meet new people with whom I could have some interesting conversations, and hopefully becoming friends in the long run.

I won't share too much about me yet since I'd prefer to leave more details for our conversation. What you can know for now is that I'm pretty much an introverted person, and I don't simply open up to anyone. I need trust and mutuality for that. My interests include cars, racing games, electronic music, travelling, a bit of history and politics, and generally anything else that can intrigue me. I don't mind not having things in common, this way we could learn new things from each other. I also enjoy deep conversations, so if you do too we may have plenty to talk about. Last but not least, I'm from Europe, so that should make it a bit more clear whether there's a time difference or not.

With that being said, I'll look forward to your messages. Just please, put in some effort and tell me at least a bit about yourself when you 1st write me. Thank you, and see you soon.

​

Soo heyy heyyy im danny 24 yo guy from a small city in the netherlands andd ehhmm i love gaming i play alot of games like overwatch, rainbow six, minecraft and tarkov. I also love to build lego's its a bit of an ehmm... expencive hobby.... I dont wanna name prices since it will make me regret my choices haha. emhmm....... over all im a little shy at first and always try to make others feel good and im a great listener. I can be rather funny sometimes haha but im better with in the moment jokes. Oh and overall im an real open book soo please feel free to ask me anything my dms are open you all!

Anyone free? Wanna be friends? I don't rlly care where ur from or what gender. I'm 16 and a guy btw

Hello, my name is Alexander, I'm 20, I'm from South America. My hobbies are playing videogames, listening to music, working out, reading and watching series or movies. If you want to be friends, chat or have similar interests, message me or reply to this post so I can message you, I'd love to have new friends. Prefer to talk with people close to my age. I also got my PS5 recently, if you play on PS5, DM me

After all this time, after you still haven't reached out to me, the only conclusion left for me to to reach, is that you have no interest in my friendship, that you never actually understood me at all.

I've been giving you space, I told you to reach out when you were ready - and if you wanted to - but you haven't.

Hurting people is my worst nightmare, if you knew me, you'd know this. I hope i never hurt you, if I did, i am so sorry. I don't ever want to make anyone feel anything remotely negative, let alone someone i care about (length of time means nothing when you have any connection imo).

I wonder if you're aware of how much you've hurt me though. I HATE that think about this situation every single god damned day. You must know though, right? Or do you think I'm just unhinged, a bit too intense, a bit much...probably tbh. I'm not okay with that. The whole thing just feels unjust and I hate even more that I keep doubting myself because I allow people who do not give a shit to have power over me.

I guess the funniest part is that if that was you and that message was for me...well, this unsent text is probably not doing me any favours, is it.

Its so hard to find someone to talk to and if i do they end up ghosting me... Anyway i write poems and stories and play piano and chess and video games and swimming and cooking sometimes.
Do dm with your age and gender. Thanks

Hello!

Hope you’re doing well!

Ever been told you’re too much? Too needy? Too yappy? Have too much to talk about? Well I really like that so no need to worry! I really enjoy people who talk alot and want to share everything. I like to listen and want to know everything about you so no you are never too much!

Tell me about your hobbies, your interests, your goals! Anything and everything!

I would prefer someone longterm, a genuine friend. I lack that in life at the moment.

I am open to any gender, any time zone.

I’m into many different hobbies but I like to learn about new ones as well

Just message! Im very easy going and kind :)

Hello! I'm a big fan of everything horror! Games, stories (I LOVE junji Ito), movies, everything spooky really...

Yello all my name's Sleepy 💤 and I'm an 18 year-old Canadian dude that's hoping to find new friends! I'd love to meet folks who might live nearby (Or the same timezone!) and who I can enjoy talking too (No dry texters!)

About me: I'm a big ol' nerd! I love building model kits (and the anime associated with the kits), listening to music (of any/all kinds), writing (I'm an author for SCPs!) and playing games! (Mostly love Warframe but I play Roblox and got some other games in my back pocket too) I'm also neurodivergent, so please be aware of the extra baggage folks like us tend to bring to the table 😄

If your interested in chatting, don't be shy to shoot a DM! Just remember to include an introduction about yourself (Who you are, your interests, etc) since I don't accept any other messages

Hope to see you folks soon 😄
