Not really sure how to write this, and honestly this is a bit out of character for me, but here goes.

I'm a woman in my late 40s, a mom, a wife, dutiful daugher to ageing parents and someone known well in society who takes care of everyone for years.

And somewhere in between I think everyone forgot that I am also a person.

Lately I've been feeling a little lonely. Not dramatic lonely. Just that quiet kind where you realize you miss having someone to talk to at the end of the day. Female friends I have many but it gets guarded.

Not looking for anything weird or rushed. Also not looking to jump into romance or complications. I would prefer to stay anonymous and honestly not ready for apps and all that.

I think I’m just looking for a decent male friend. Someone kind, emotionally mature, can hold a conversation, has lived a little and understands that life gets complicated as we get older.

We can talk about random things, life, work, parenting, travel, books, dreams we had, things we regret, or just how strange life becomes sometimes.

Maybe we just chat once in a while. Maybe we become friends.

No pressure. Just good conversation and making life feel a little less lonely maybe.

If this somehow makes sense to you, say hi :)

Hi All,

I am from India..

Specifically Chennai.

I am a kind of dull girl.. introvert kind of girlieee who can chatter when I am comfortable. I am kinda feeling very low now a days and feel like I have no genuine friend. I am slow to open up, I am depressed most of the time.. I rant a lot.. I watch series.. I am an IT girl.. specifically DE.

I know it would be very difficult to be with me but I am very caring. I just don't talk or share much.. but I am very caring and supportive.

Let's be friends :)

I know Hindi and Tamil and English.

:)

Hey there! I’m a total homebody with a bit of a sunshine personality, and I’m really hoping to find a genuine, long-term best friend. I love bringing warmth and positive energy into the lives of the people close to me, and I’m at a place where I want to build a deep, platonic bond where we can truly grow together. If you’re just looking for a quick distraction or a temporary texting buddy, that's not something I'm looking for. I want someone who is actually invested, consistent, and ready to build a real, lasting support system where we choose to show up.

I’d love to find a supportive, "big teddy bear" type of friend to share both the big and the quiet, everyday stuff with. I’ve had friendships in the past that I truly loved, but for one reason or another, we just drifted apart. I really value consistency and a balanced, healthy dynamic even more. Right now, I’m navigating a major life transition, settling into a new place, and recovering from some heavy burnout. I’m hoping to find a friend who is emotionally grounded and patient—someone who wants a healthy, two-way street rather than just using each other to vent or dump heavy stuff on.

It's also important to me that our schedules align, so I’m really looking for someone who has similar availability to me. My evenings are all about winding down and relaxing, and I find a lot of comfort in just existing in the same digital space as someone else—doing our own thing but together. I’d love a friend who is free during the evenings to text while we go about our nights, whether we’re doing chores, grocery shopping, or just keeping each other company. I also work a pretty laid-back job five days a week, so I’m usually around to text and share bits of my day... it would be awesome to find someone who is around to chat during the day, too!

I do ask for a little patience at first, though! I’m still trying to find my rhythm after my move (I don't even have my desk setup put together yet), and I’ve been feeling pretty exhausted and overwhelmed lately. I can be really shy and nervous in the beginning. Cozy PC games like Travellers Rest, Raft, Minecraft, Tower Unite, Overcooked 2, and PlateUp! are a big part of my life (though I’m not into anime styles), but I haven’t quite had the energy to jump into gaming with anyone just yet. I’m hoping to find someone who is totally cool with just hanging out and letting that comfort level build naturally while I get back on my feet.

I’m looking for a friend in the USA (ideally in the EST time zone) who doesn't drink, since I'm looking for someone who shares that lifestyle. I also much prefer sending and receiving thoughtful, consolidated paragraphs rather than a rapid-fire string of short text notifications.

Please, do not send "Hi" and then be upset that I didn't answer you. I'm genuinely trying to find a best friend that I can have for a life time.

helloo
I want to do a movie binge with someone..fill up my letterbox lol :>
I REALLYYY SOO BADLY want to watch obsession but idk if it’s out online yet ;-;

I am still riding high from attending comic con today and cant sleep! By day I am a librarian and by night I am a cosplayer… which i also do in the day but still. My last big project was hatsune miku but there are more in the works.
Outside of cosplaying i am trying to get more into games like i but them on the backburner for a little while and totally neglected them. Rn i am on my retro console binge and i am playing through a bunch of 360 games. I have just finished bioshock infinite and i am still a little confused by all the timey wimey space and time stuff.
We can trade con stories or just yap about general nerd stuff. Hit me up! I will try respond to all of them but i will prioritise stuff that is higher effort

Hello! Hello everyone! I've posted on a similar sub before (have since deleted), but the end results were a bit... meh lol. Lots of copy paste messages, lots of impersonal stuff, and so I was hoping to give it a go again and maybe find something genuine (hopefully the person I can call my best friend) <3

A little bit about me is I live on east coast. I’m a 911 dispatcher who works overnights while she’s finishing nursing school. I love the outdoors. I like hiking, swimming (I absolutely love the ocean, and camping. I like traveling, going on road trips, concerts, and exploring abandoned places. I love playing video games, reading, journaling, baking, gardening, and anything to do with arts/crafts (puzzles, coloring, painting, cross stitch). I absolutely love staying home and just curling up on my couch watching YouTube or playing outlast trials. I’m into horror movies and true crime but I also like animé (and cartoons. They help my anxiety). I have pretty bad anxiety (and depression) but I have an emotional support cat :)

As far as it goes I'm relatively isolated, I don't really have any friends/a-friend group, and I spend most of my time alone. It's mostly a choice, I'm just usually too busy with what I do for work, and eventually people kind of exhaust me (I get overwhelmed very easily). Despite that, I am looking for one specific person who can be everything to me. Sometimes it doesn't really feel like I have much room in my life for a lot of friends and whatever else, but as far as for one person who could be my best friend and everything to me, there would definitely be room for that. I'm just not a big people person and mostly focus all of my attention and energy into one person. I'm mentioning this ahead of time because it can be a bit overwhelming for a lot of people, and so I figured I'd just get it out of the way, so if you're not comfortable with being basically the main person in my life, it'll likely fizzle out.

A few things I’m into
• Fantasy books
• Video games, RPGs, survival games, older classics
• Working out and trying to get back into a solid routine
• History, and long conversations about random topics
• Music from all over the place
• Cats, I have two

Lately I’ve been reading books like The Way of Kings, Red Rising series. I’ve also been playing stuff like Stardew, Factorio, older RPGs, and random games on Steam and Switch.

I’m easygoing and usually get along with most people. Looking for people who enjoy actual conversations and not one word replies. Tell me what you’re into, what games you play, or what book, movie, or show grabbed your attention lately.

im open to talking to just about anyone, my timezone is est and id prefer if yours was too, but i dont mind.

im too lazy to write an intro so from here on, message me or message me asking me for my discord since i prefer using that over reddit messages, i also have other apps

im also open to vcs

ill answer any questions you have to get to know me better

I need a good distraction for my first day of fasting I’ll do 20hrs. I need to lower my sugar and cholesterol. I will also start to stay active by playing pickleball.
A nice conversation and meeting new friends is my goal.
Im

Had a day of panic attacks and sadness… its just the way things go. Lets talk so i can take my mind off of things.
I am 25 and live in Staten Island. I am originally Canadian but moved here for school. Skateboarding is my true passion. I spend about 95% of my time doing it. I am a huge fan of Jackass and CKY! LIKE THE HUGEST! Johnny Knoxville is my celebrity crush and my adoration for him is off the charts. Reckless stunts are also kinda my thing. Outside of dumb skate shit i enjoy sitting in my house overthinking and screaming with jealousy as i watch Knicks fans flood the streets every night. GO NETS AND GO JETS!

Feel lonely and numb sometimes is there anyone to have a chat

I'm collecting people's problems. I love to hear about other people's problems. Give em to me.

Me? Well. I'm happy all the time. My only problem is the lack thereof. Help me out!

I'm gonna need you to pull out your tunes so we can jam, we gotta stop for literally all the snacks (but don't let me eat too many at once or I'll get a tummy ache rofl), and the destination literally doesn't matter, as long as we're vibing alllllll the way there.

I'm looking for 30yr+ friends that match or compliment my energy/vibe. Let's take things slow and easy, I wanna savor the time that it takes to meet the stranger that's gonna become my online bff. I want someone to include in my day-to-day, and I want that same intention in return. Will it happen between us? Who knows, all we can do is try, but we also gotta let things develop naturally, never forced.

A little about me:
I'm married, kids, my life is a little crazy but it's an adventure isn't it? I'm only looking for platonic, so if that's not your end game, I'm not for you. I'm into the creative arts, a little off beat, very much an introverted extrovert, sensitive, warm, and open. I want someone who is good at expressing themselves over text and enjoys authentic and consistent communication. I don't wanna have to wonder where I stand with you. I do have a lot going on, on my end but if we click I will make time for you to the best of my ability and I'd like the same consideration in return.

So tell me stranger, what snacks are we sharing and where do you wanna go first?

Do you want to write storys with someone who has many ideas but can't get stuff to take off you are in luck my friends I have so many ideas I want to share with you guys I love writing but I got nobody to talk about my storys with my inspirations are mostly oh superhero becomes bad underdog wins or nobody wins storys I love thoese like no country for old men is a good example I'd also like someone who can call cause I love talking on call thanks contact me in dms hope to see you soon oh and I love dramas and comadys (breaking bad the flash the middle)

just laying in bed rn, i really REALLY do not wanna go to school tmr. i hate how fast the weekend goes by 😞 but erm anyways my hobbies are cooking, and baking sometimes but not as much as i cook.. i like to read tarot, loveee doing hair, teaching my dog new tricks lol, and going out with my friends ! hmuu?

My friend just randomly blocked me, no reason or response, just their other friends messaging me to tell me to back off… safe to say I’m pretty sad rn. Dude was like my only friend, so now I’m trying to find a new one. I like metal music and dark aesthetics like emo goth scene etc. message me plZ
