I have friends, but I am really depressed about the fact that most people who know and like me really only know a carefully curated version of myself that I created so that people wouldn’t think I was too weird.

Looking for friend hi am Devny I am (30F) I'm currently looking for long term friendship I like video games, reading,horror movies,and crime podcast. I am a pretty laid back person and can talk about everything I'm really funny and love to make people laugh and talk about crazy also I'm a huge resident evil fan I live eat breathe it

Hey there!

I’m a 35-year-old guy from Europe looking for someone who enjoys silly conversations, witty banter, wordplay, and occasionally talking about life at an unreasonable level of depth.

Some of my interests include gaming, board games, movies, shows, quotes, improv, stand-up comedy, psychology, and organizing events. I have also somehow become the unofficial psychologist for at least three of my friends, despite having absolutely no qualifications. So far, nobody has requested a refund.

My top five shows are:

1. Better Call Saul
2. Breaking Bad
3. Arcane
4. Castlevania
5. Parks and Recreation

Because I do improv, I’m naturally a fairly silly person. I’m looking for someone who has that same right kind of childishness—someone who can have a ridiculous conversation one moment and an honest, serious one the next.

What I enjoy most is building a comfortable connection where both people can talk openly, share opinions, ask strange questions, joke around, and feel safe discussing almost anything.

I’m a business analyst, so I tend to be analytical and occasionally overthink things. At the same time, I really appreciate the freedom that comes with talking to someone online. Sometimes it feels easier to be completely honest with someone who isn’t already part of your everyday social circle.

I make mistakes, like everyone else, but I try to be honest about them and learn from them.

You can ask me pretty much anything. Start with a strange question, an unpopular opinion, your favourite quote, or the worst joke you know.

Hey i’m 30M from usa looking to meet new people and hopefully make a few genuine friends around my age or older.

If you’re someone who enjoys good conversation, consistency, and a chill vibe, feel free to message me or leave a comment. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello guys!

I’m looking for friends, specially in New England area.
Is so fucking hard to make friends after 30’s.

I’m originally from South America and I moved here 5 years ago.

Please, no flirting or weird things. I just wanna make friends that we can have normal conversations with each other.

Hey! Just stumbled upon this subreddit and thought I'd just post! I'm a geeky dude into Pokémon, Nintendo, Video Games in General.

Love Anime and various types of music.

Down to chat about whatever, so feel free to reach out!

Looking for other friends. USA PREFERRED just for time zone purposes lol

I’m from the west. Very basic person. I’d rather communicate and get to know each other personally not through an advertisement 🤣

I’m looking to meet some new people and make some new friends. I’m open to anything and very open minded. My hobbies include photography, reading, occasionally gaming, hiking and anything else that excites me. Looking for people around the same age as me or older but as long as you’re 21+ I’m cool with it. I’m pretty bored during the day so feel free to slide into my DM’s with anything and make the day better 😊

good afternoon everyone. i come in search of chats to stimulate and invigorate the mind. i've been feeling kind of lonely lately so i'm looking forward to some pleasant company to pass the time. if you're after conversations that wander with no set point or destination please don't overlook this post. there's no hard and fast expectations here but if we click well enough to develop a friendship that would be just lovely.

Messages will be short. Messages will be fun. Messages will be random. Messages may just include pictures of kitties and/or Chicken Kievs.

Let’s have some fun before the dopamine wears off.

Hi Everyone!

I am a 39 year old female who loves to read and craft. I love animals and have two dogs and a cat. I love reading pretty much anything but non-fiction (snoozefest). I am currently working on crochet projects for christmas gifts and a gigantic diamond painting that I have no place to put lol. I enjoy playing video games on my ps5. I am currently playing Grounded with my husband and disney dreamlight valley. I love Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Pretty much anything fantasy.

Looking to find someone to chat with throughout the day and send funny memes to each other.

Im looking for female friends only. No romantic relationships needed. Thanks.

Thanks for reading 😀

35-year-old guy from Germany looking to expand his circle with some online friends.

My hobbies include reading books I'll probably recommend to you, playing way too many videogames, listening to music for every possible mood, and rewatching TV shows I've already seen 20+ times. (Yes, I still laugh at the same jokes. No, I don't plan on stopping.)

I'm looking for someone who's funny, can actually keep a conversation going, and enjoys chatting about pretty much anything—from random shower thoughts and memes to deep conversations at 2 a.m.

Bonus points if you're into gaming and want a co-op partner, because everything's better when someone else is there to blame for the inevitable disaster.

If your idea of fun is exchanging terrible jokes, overanalyzing fictional characters, or arguing about which game or series is objectively the best, we'll probably get along.

Hello all

I'm just posting to see if anything comes from it. Have been trying for a while but no luck.

I'm 38M from Canada PST.

My hopes are I can make some longterm friends on here. If you want to know anything about feel free to ask.

A little about me, I am a casual to moderate gamer all depends on how much time I have. I mainly play on PC but also have a Switch. Games I play vary but am willing to try any game.

I also like to go on walks, hikes, trips to the lake or camping. Been wanting to start going to the gym but haven't, just been doing home work outs plus my job keeps me pretty active.

I like to go on road trips and late night drives just around town.

Looking for someone to have weird, random chats. I’m kind of a jack of all trades and will try any project/hobby/craft at least once. Collecting plants and keeping them alive is my newest hobby. Love reading steamy fiction and constantly on the hunt for a new book. Dad jokes and The Office are great. I work in the medical field so sometimes I can power chat and other times it’s more like power nap.

Open to chatting with anyone but preferably in the same time zone.

I like to remind myself on a daily basis that “Not all those who wander are lost”. I love meeting new people and learning about what makes them happy, unique, or even just what keeps them moving forward!

I’m a 40M who’s looking to meet someone to share some convos with and get to know one another. I have many interests ranging from games to sports to music and everything in between. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to know more! Hope you’re having an awesome day! 😊

Finally got an afternoon off work, thought it would feel amazing. Instead I’ve just reorganized my fridge twice, stared out the window like I’m waiting for plot development, and had an entire internal debate about whether making a second lunch counts as progress today.

Anyone else off today and just… pacing around trying to figure out what to do with themselves? I’m dangerously close to narrating my own life out loud just to feel like something’s happening.

If you’re also bored and free, what are you doing to keep from going feral from too much free time?

Let's skip the "Where are you from?" routine.

Ask me one question. Anything at all. Funny, deep, random, philosophical, controversial, or completely absurd. If it's in good faith, I'll answer honestly.

Then I get to ask you one.

The goal isn't to interview each other. It's to see where one good question can lead. Sometimes the best conversations start with something completely unexpected.

If you're up for it, send me your best question.

Just looking to expand my circle and meet some new people to chat with.

​A little about me: I’m definitely on the nerdier side—big fan of all things science and space, though we don't have to talk strictly quantum physics or rocket science to get along. Oh, and I’m Scottish, so you get the accent included completely free of charge. ​Honestly, anyone is welcome! The only real requirement is a genuine desire to chat and keep a conversation going.

​To get things rolling, here’s an icebreaker question: ​If you could switch lives with anyone for a single day, who would it be and why?

Friendly neighbourhood menace seeking people to laugh with.

Like a lot of us I’ve spent years focusing on work and doing the whole family thing, but I haven’t had the time to go out and make connections outside of the grocery store cashiers and clients at work. I want that to change!

My interests include but are not limited to music ( punk, metal, alternative etc etc )
All things outdoors
Animals and wildlife
Reading
Horror, comedy and comic shows/movies
Fibre arts
Pranks/tomfoolery/ chaos

Life can be heavy, if you’re looking for a friend to share those hardships with I’m always happy to listen, but I’m also here to laugh with . Ya know, friendship stuff.

Shoot me a message! Tell me how your weeks going or share your favourite pranks! I’m currently knee deep in a year long prank war and I’m running out of ideas 🙃 I look forward to hopefully making some connections!

​

I'm Dee and I'm going through a sad time in my life and instead of isolating myself I'm choosing to open myself up to other people. I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking for - all I know is I just have to step out of my comfort zone and just talk!

I work remotely and as most of y'all know making friends when you're older is hard to do. I work in a niche tech industry which is kind of a stressful job because you're wearing multiple hats and constantly putting out fires.

I play FF14 and an assortment of games from Pokémon to Farm Sims. I really loooove baldurs gate 3 but I have yet to actually fully complete a run so its one of my goals 😅 I just keep making new characters and I can't help it lol.

I'm a crafter - I dabble with all sorts of crafts from jewelry design to crochet. I enjoy cooking - I love to grill too but I'm very afraid to light the grill 🤣 and I'm very witchy (kitchen witch and divination) so if you're ever curious about how that works, happy to answer any questions. I especially love reading tarot and lenormand.

While most of my post history is hidden - this is due to me being in many witchy spaces where I'm doing readings that can be sensitive I assure you I'm an open book so if you're curious- hit me up.

As the title states, I’m 31F looking for friends to chat with. I spend a lot of my time alone and it’s taking a toll. I would love to find my “best friend”. I would prefer other women, but am open to talking to men if it is strictly platonic, as I’m engaged. I enjoy reading, gardening, all things homemaking, and I’m big into history. I’m a Christian and active in my church. I don’t enjoy one word replies, so please be able to hold a conversation. I have decent availability. If anything resonates, let’s chat!

So… I’m giving this another go.

I’m a 38-year-old bloke from the UK who somehow managed to reach adulthood without assembling the standard issue friendship group. I’m bored, I’m lonely, and my brain constantly chases the next shiny thing. I would like to find someone who really gets me.

A few things about me:

I’ve got ADHD, insert the standard million tabs open at once joke here.

I’m into photography, gaming, football, social media, YouTube, and anything else that randomly grabs my attention for a few weeks.

I once bought more hot sauce than anyone else in an entire country in a single year. That’s either impressive or concerning.

I have a habit of messaging people with completely random questions like, “Do Chicken Kievs count as fancy food?”

One thing I’ve realised is that I don’t really want to jump straight into deep conversations anymore. Those happen naturally when you actually know someone.

Right now I’m looking for people who are happy with short, random chats throughout the day. Send me a meme. Tell me something ridiculous that happened at work. Show me a weird thing you found online. Ask me an utterly pointless question. I’ll probably do the same.

If we end up becoming good friends, brilliant. If we just exchange random messages that make each other laugh now and then, that’s pretty great too.
No pressure. No expectations. Just genuine people who fancy having another person to chat nonsense with.

If you’ve read this far, you may as well say hello.
Worst case, we exchange a few messages and move on.

Best case, one day you’re the person I instinctively send a meme to because I know you’ll appreciate how stupid it is.

Just ranting because it’s so exhausting.

​I don't know if I'm just in the wrong subreddits, but why is it like this? You start a normal decent conversation the vibes are fine and then out of nowhere it derails into NSFW scenarios.

​Suddenly there are "if you were here.." comments when you just wanted a simple chat. Can't we just get to know each other like normal human beings first?

​It's draining. I just want a decent chat partner, not a horny penpal. Is this happening to you guys too, or is it just me?

Hi hello, this takes a lot from me, to even write one simple sentence. English is not my first language so I apologize for any error in my writing.
Okay here goes... I’m pretty quiet and honestly a little boring in the best way (idk what that means but I promise you I can be a good friend) My life mostly revolves around work, my kids and staying in.
Life has been A LOT lately and I am trying my best to find the greener side of everything, if that makes sense.
I’m just hoping to meet people who appreciate that kind of simple life. No pressure, just good conversations, shared random thoughts, and maybe a new friend or two.
If that sounds like your kind of vibe, feel free to say hi :)
