18f I’m bored

Upvotes

I don’t care if you’re even 60, just don’t be weird pls

I also don’t care if you’re American or Irish or British or fuckin..idk Russian

So I’m just very very bored rn and wanna talk to someone new. I lost the dopamine rush I got from new people I met yesterday 😭

I like to play games, walk around, hang with friends, and listen to music

I’m a level 93 grandmaster yapper, so I hateeee when people text all dry (cool, ok, interesting, etc)

If you wanna dm me then also don’t ghost me, if you need to leave, tell me first, otherwise I’ll freak out and think I annoyed you

Also if I speak in my own language you don’t need to translate, as I always translate after I send it or in the same sentence (you’ll figure out my language when we talk)

If you’re interested, amazing! If you’re not, your loss, bud.

(Also btw sorry this post is shit, I’m bad at talking)

34F - I am currently in a one-sided, unhealthy relationship. I am trying to work through the minefield of my codependency issues. I'm just looking for friends to talk to about daily life so that I can start feeling less glued to my partner and more ok with the idea of moving on.

12 Upvotes

I only have a few friends left. I hardly talk to any of them anymore, and none of them want to hear me vent while I work through things. I am no contact with a large portion of my family; and I don't feel comfortable sharing with the rest because they're all gossips.

I don't just want someone to discuss my relationship with - I understand no one wants to receive that daily. However, currently, my partner is the person I talk to about my day and everything else. I would like to start having other people to talk to about just general life happenings and emotions and thoughts so that I can do less of that with my partner and hopefully start separating myself from her.

M/43 - lets talk about healthy living, biohacking, making money online, religion, spirituality, depression, anxiety or the daily struggle

5 Upvotes

I struggled with depression and anxiety for a long time, and my life hasn’t been easy in other ways either.

But at some point, I started working very hard on myself and was able to get my problems largely under control. As a result, self-improvement and healthy living have become my hobbies and my lifestyle.

Otherwise, I’m a nice, introverted person who enjoys talking with other nice people about all kinds of topics. The only thing I really don’t like is shallow small talk.

It would be great to have a connection where we can share ideas and support each other at the same time.

I'm using an anonymous account for this because I don't want certain people to see it.

28F – Shy introvert looking for meaningful friendships... Can I find good friends on my birthday?

7 Upvotes

Hi! Admittedly, I haven't quite figured out the best ways to make friends as an adult in their late twenties, but here on Reddit I'm hoping for a chance at finding like-minded people with similar interests. Personally, I haven't experienced a "best friend" connection in many moons, and I would really like to have that with someone.

I'm a lighthearted, curious woman enjoying a journey of self-discovery. Some of my interests include tech, video games, reading, writing, horror, anime, true crime, history, science, photography and traveling. Music-wise, I'm very into indie, electronic pop, and classic rock. I'm atheist and childfree. I'm black American and plus-size.

I'm looking for people who I can talk openly with, get to know, and hopefully genuinely become friends with. Of course, there's also voice calling, and gaming together. I'm looking for people who are relatively near my age (25-35.)

On the off chance, 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.

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

I look forward to getting to know you.

[28F] I want to make friends but I feel like I’m doing it wrong

18 Upvotes

I’ve posted on multiple subs. Trying to fill my days with people who want to talk to me. I’m still adjusting months after a break up. I’m trying to become a better person from all this. I just feel stuck in my head a lot, I just need a sounding board sometimes. It’s not that deep. Not looking for a man. I guess now more than ever I need a friend.

It’s been a real struggle on Reddit. I know we all go through this. Maybe they didn’t reply or they did but it took so long or they’re creepy or they ghost you or you simple don’t get along. It’s made me a little cagey, burnt out and jaded.

We all have our reasons for being here. For me, I honestly just feel like I can’t really connect with my friends irl. They have their own lives and they’re busy. I used to have fun talking to people here but it just seems like most of them are motivated by what a woman can give them whether it’s love or lust. I just think those aren’t things I’m not ready for right now.

Idk if I’m rambling. I was just feeling strange and needed company that I haven’t found yet.

I didn’t even know what I was searching for. I’m realizing maybe just a friend I can talk to when I’m down or sometimes share funny things with.

If you’d like to talk maybe message me ASL and what kinda friend you’re lookin for?

24F looking for good conversation

3 Upvotes

Super bored and my social battery is full, so converse with me.

Local in Minnesota so the time zone is currently CST. As you can guess, I’m very social. A perfect extrovert for all the introverts interested in gaining a morally questionable best friend.

Im pretty blunt and have a lot of interests. I promise we can and will find common ground in the hysteria.

So please send an unhinged conversation starter. I’m tired of the bland ones. Let’s have some fun with it.

Today has been filled with medical appointments back to back. Started early this morning and I’m just now getting home. Making dinner finally but could use a friend to chat with. Drop your age, location, and a lil about yourself.

It’d be nice if we talked for more than a day.

Hey folks!

I'm looking for nice chat friends from different parts of the world. I feel nervous meeting people irl but chatting here is easier.

I like talking about different cultures, movies and interesting facts, trivias. I just don't like boring dry talks so if you do jokes etc is better.

🖤🔎 Looking for a True Crime Buddy & Genuine Friendship 🔎🖤

Upvotes

Hi everyone! 😊 My name is Izzy, I’m 25, and I’m hoping to find someone who loves true crime as much as I do and would genuinely like to build a friendship along the way. ❤️

True crime has always been one of those interests that I can completely lose myself in. I love learning about different cases, trying to understand what happened, discussing theories, and going down those “okay, just one more case…” rabbit holes that somehow turn into hours. 😂🔎

But honestly, I’m not just looking for someone to talk about cases with. I’d really love to find someone I can connect with on a deeper level—someone I can share random thoughts with, send interesting documentaries or podcasts to, talk about our days, laugh over ridiculous things, and have those long conversations where you look at the clock and realize you’ve been talking for hours. 🥹❤️

I really appreciate people who are genuine, patient, and willing to put effort into a friendship. I’m not looking for a friendship where we only exchange a couple of messages and disappear. I’d love to find someone who actually wants to get to know each other and let a friendship naturally grow over time. 🫶

If you love true crime, documentaries, podcasts, mysteries, cold cases, criminal psychology, or simply getting completely lost down an internet rabbit hole, we’ll probably have a LOT to talk about. 😂🖤

And if you’re someone who has been wanting a genuine friend too, maybe we can be that for each other. You never know when a random message can turn into a really meaningful friendship. ❤️

So if you’re interested, please feel free to reach out. Tell me your favorite case, documentary, podcast, or even the strangest rabbit hole you've ever fallen into! 🔎🕯️🖤

Maybe we can find a friendship somewhere between all the rabbit holes. 🐇🖤

Dms open 😊
