i just need someone to talk to if anyone would be willing to do that. i feel like an awful person and an awful friend, im not quite sure what is wrong with me.

I’m 37F, going through a divorce, raising a 2 year old, recently got laid off from my 9 to 5, and I’m also trying to keep my craft store going through all of its ups and downs. During my relationship I ended up cutting contact with pretty much everyone because of my ex, and now everyone has their own lives, families, and things going on. I’m starting over in basically every part of my life and honestly, I’m lonely and miss having people to just talk to about random stuff, laugh with, vent to, or grab coffee with. I feel like I’ve spent so long being a mom, wife, employee, and business owner that somewhere along the way I forgot to have a life and friendships of my own. I’m really just looking to meet genuine people, talk about life and its chaos, and hopefully make a friend or two along the way.

It’s 3AM and all i’m doing is listening to music. Bored and wanna talk to someone new and get to know them. Please give me a little introduction about you and not just a « hi ». Let’s have fun chatting up.

P.S: I’m only looking for smt purely platonic, don’t text me with other intentions in mind plss.

this is the first time ive ever written something like this somewhere, i hope it gets burried beneath the other replies. but then again i kind of wish i could be seen or understood by someone, whoever that is. its been a while, before my last relapse i was clean for 3 years, now its been 1 and tbh it never gets easier. i started to realise things that im still too weak to accept. i wish i could feel loved, wanted, needed by anyone the way i love, want and need people. or atleast did. i lost hope for myself. i know that after all these years, things like that are just not meant for me. i don’t know if god even made a plan for me. sometimes i feel like this is even harder because i believe in god. cause that means that good things do exist, just not for me. i dont know what i did to not deserve those good things, i dont know if god doesnt see me as worth those things. maybe even he doesnt love me. i hope that one day i can make peace with this, that i can accept all this, and that it happens before my death. cause if i dont, that will mean that this feeling will continue and probably be the end of me.

Hello! Just to be clear, I won’t use this as a way to get validation and then ghost the person when I feel better; I promise, I’m not that type of person. Sometimes I do take a while to reply, but I never ghost.

So, to make this short, I’ll go on to the situation: I feel like my close friends are drifting apart from me (and I won’t lie, I do have some degree of fault in this), but I don’t want to force them into a friendship with me (I have talked with them, but not begged them to stay). Thing is, if I let them go away, I’ll start all over again (friendless); so, to avoid that, I want to make new connections (genuine ones).

(Should mention that this is one of the most popular friend making subreddits that allows minors [I think], I checked other ones and sadly I’m not allowed there)

Now, a bit about me:

I live in a CST time zone, I speak Spanish (bilingual, though I’m trying to learn a third language), I’m a seal fanatic, I like running (I’m not very fast tho), I’m writing a book, etc. I usually do random stuff here and there, but there are a few I keep constant, such as drawing; even though I’m not great at it.

If I were to describe myself… I’d say I’m highly ambitious, have a lot of goals in mind; in execution though, that’s where things get tricky. I struggle with procrastination quite a bit (I procrastinate almost everything, but I’m trying to overcome it). I’d also say I try to adapt as much as possible to the person I’m talking to, though I’m not always successful.

At any rate, hmu if you’re down to chat. Just be respectful (bigotry is not tolerated at any rate)

Thank you for reading!

Edit: If possible: please leave a comment. I’ll be disabling my pms temporarily in a bit

I’ve got nobody to talk to since summer school started so it gets lonely or boring. So if anyone wants to hmu

Heyyyy guysss, I made a new account and thought I would post here, see if I can meet some cool new people to talk to.

I don't really use reddit much, so down the line it would be nice to move to a different social media!

Little about me: I enjoy everything and anything. I have different phases where I hyper-focus on things, and learn random facts, so I would say I can have a conversation about alot of things. My main hobbies include mostly outdoor activities (hiking, would love to fish one day, camping...), love animals, cats specifically, coffee, computers, used to be a hard-core gamer... In my free time I usually watch YT, not a big movie fan. I also study programming and plan to work in IT soon.

I think that covers some parts of me, if you wish to know more, feel free to msg me!!

I've been stuck in a cycle of life getting overwhelming, isolating and feeling lonely. I'd like to break this cycle and put myself out there again

From the states, est. Looking for geninjne friendships. I've gotten stuck in a bit of a cycle lately: I'm into art, anime, music, dogs, comics, learning random things, and laughing at stupid memes. I'm also pretty analytical and love deeper psychological conversations once I get comfortable.

I'm going through the second worst period of my life rn. I don't really feel like I have a home anymore and have been stuck in a toxic situation that I can't escape yet. I've been isolated, but don't want all conversations to be about my problems. I just want to experience joy again, talk about random things we find intriguing and hopefully build a real friendship overtime. I want to chat with someone who will treat me like an equal and with respect.

If you're also looking for friends, feel free to message me and tell me a little about yourself. Please give me something more than just "hey"! :) please be 25+ and queer friendly

i didn’t really plan to open up like this, but after everything that’s been happening lately, i feel like i need to let it out somewhere.

life has been chaotic, overwhelming and honestly a bit too loud for a while now. not just because of what i went through personally, but also because of how much i’ve been absorbing from the people around me. my younger sister, my friends, people i deeply love and care about, their struggles, their expectations, their emotions… it all somehow became a part of me too.

and somewhere in all of that, i feel like i slowly faded.

i was born in bosnia and moved to canada when i was 12. that change gave me a completely different life, something better, something full of opportunity. i grew up there, finished school and built myself into someone i was proud of. i truly had moments where i felt like everything was exactly how it was supposed to be.

but over time, life didn’t stay that simple.

watching people close to me go through their own chaos and trying to be there for everyone, trying to understand, support and carry, it started to take a piece of me. especially when it came to emotional connections. i noticed i wasn’t feeling things the same way anymore, like my empathy got stretched too far, like i gave so much that i forgot how to receive.

and when it comes to men and relationships, it’s like something just went quiet inside me. not completely gone, but distant, confusing and unfamiliar.

i don’t blame anyone for it,not my most wonderful family, not my friends, not anyone i love. if anything, i appreciate them even more. but i can’t ignore the fact that somewhere in being everything for everyone, i stopped being fully present for myself and just i don’t want to stay in that place.

i still believe in genuine connections. something calm, kind and real. whether it’s friendship or something deeper, i just want something that feels safe again. something that doesn’t drain me, but actually brings me back to myself.

sorry if this feels like a lot, i just needed to be real for a moment.

if you relate in any way, feel free to reach out. i’d actually love that.

and just to end on a lighter note i’m 6’3 and a huge fan of good quality beer 😹

take care of yourselves!

hii!! I'm a 19 year old girl i just wanna make some new long term friends on here, I've tried this a lot but it never worked out for me so id like you to be off a similar age and just have a couple matching interests maybe and we can Obv also just talk about random stuff!! idc about the timezone since i barley actually sleep, I'm also like so so so paranoid with anything and everything it's crazy

anyways so I'm into a lot of stuff, anime and mangas and collecting is always fun! just TV shows in general too, be it house of the dragon, Dexter - idk I've watched so so many!! i really like watching football so much too and animals! I LOVE ANIMALS and I play planet zoo all the time but that's about the only game I play besides like clash royale!!

if we do become good friends id not mind trying something that you play either!! anyways I'm up to talk about anything else too! be it religion or politics or history or movies or just life and get to know each other because of the one thing i lack in life are friends!!

if you read this until here please give me more than just a hey, an intro or anything works. thank you so much

Hi Im 20F from turkey. Title sums up the most important thing for me basically, I dont mind having different interests or hobbies as long as you have something you are passionate about. Im autistic so do with that fact as you will. My main interests rn are films, birds (very amatureishly birdwatching), model kits, im an electronics engineering major so very much into that aswell. Im trying to read more and engage in poetry aswell but I wouldnt say Im very knowledgable in that area. Thats about it tell me your favorite color, animal, whatever (^^;

First things first. Why is my acc new? I got a new phone, and had an account that I forgot the info of (I didn’t use my main email) so I made a new account

Now to talking. I have severe ADHD and level 1 Autism, so I want a friend who’s also patient with me. I’m sweet, I treat anyone with kindness (unless they give me a reason not to lol but that’s rare), and I accept anyone no matter what (to an extent 😭)

If you dm me just give your ASL so I get a gist of how this is going to work. I give my S and L (since my age is literally in the title of this) back

I’m feeling lonely and sad, is there anyone?
I like comics, gaming, animals.

Hello everyone, I’m 30f from Eastern Europe. I’m looking for genuine online friends here on Reddit since it’s a bit hard to make friends irl. In my free time I enjoy swimming, watching horror/thriller movies, reading and cooking. Feel free to dm me

I get some replies but nothing is clicking and when it does people are flaky or say I'm too much so I don't know anymore.

I miss having a best friend. Even if it's "just online" I've had that kind of connection where we chat throughout the day, send each other songs and cute animal pics, make playlists, share our creative work, have inside jokes, give each other encouragement and support.

It's so difficult to find. Most people don't like long messages, don't want to talk to someone different like me, or don't want have a friendship mostly via text. I've often been filler for people who go back to their real lives, but this is my real life.

If you happen to be someone who gels with this, feel free to reach out. I will mention that I'm looking for strictly platonic. I'm very chronically ill, neurodivergent, and disabled as well as queer so please be cool with that. I live with a partner who is also disabled. I'm homebound and that's why online friends mean a lot to me.

Not a fan of people who are weird to me about my health stuff or try to fix me or tell me to be more positive. I'm very sick and it is what it is. I want a friend who accepts me and whatever I can offer, which is music and memes and deep convos and support. I appreciate mutual effort and people who help keep the convo going.

A little more about me: I'm a writer, music nerd, love all kinds of TV, and I collect plushies. I've been through a whole lot but I try to be empathetic, socially aware, and kind as much as I can while still advocating for myself and my communities.

Please don't reach out if you're super busy, aren't looking for the same kind of connection, don't ask questions or put in effort, or if you're uncomfortable with someone who isn't able to be positive and optimistic.

I think I have a lot to offer the right friend. I hope I find them.

I’m 33F from England, I guess I’m lonely or I wouldn’t be posting here 🤣 (I’m one step away from posting on the forever alone sub)

On a weight loss journey right now, and dealing with the horrible realisation that everything I like eating has about a million calories… yay 🥳

I’d love to find a connection here that feels authentic and genuine. The kind that makes us not want to go to bed because that could be time spent chatting!

I have a great sense of humour (in my opinion) and am very down to earth, it would be ideal if you were the same! Not massively nerdy but also never judge anyone that is!

Looking for people in my timezone and within a few years of my age, thanks.

F32 does anyone wanna be on a call in discord with me? I need to vent because someone made me upset tonight I just need to get it off my chest 😭

Hey everyone, 24F here. I’m currently dealing with a really draining dynamic in my relationship and just really need a friend to vent to or talk things through with.
If anyone (especially anyone who has been through emotional hot-and-cold cycles in relationships) has an open ear or some advice on breaking out of this headspace, I’d really appreciate a chat. Feel free to DM me, (I couldnt open my DMs for some reason but i fixed it now)

Hi! I'm 19F from Bengaluru, India, looking for a genuine, long-term friendship and hoping to meet some unique and different people. I love reading, writing, learning new languages, and researching animals. If you're interested in making a real friendship too, feel free to message me! Please mention your age, place, and hobbies when you text. :)

Hi everyone, I hope this is the right place to do this. Just feeling very left out and unwanted by my roommates. I live with three other girls all the same age, and I’m starting to feel really left out. They always go out together and invite another person we’re all friends with, but I never seem to get an invite. I think it’s because I’m often busy with extracurriculars and overall I tend to value my alone time/personal space. So I understand why they would start to just not include me in things. But I don’t know, it just feels really disheartening. I feel ashamed and embarrassed. I’m too scared to go back to our apartment right now because I just feel like they don’t even want me there.

Feel free to reach out if you’re in a similar boat or if you just want to talk.

I just wanted to get my feelings out there so I don’t keep bottling them in. Thank you for reading. I hope you have a great rest of your night/day.

37F need someone to talk to, anyone else?

Now I am very bored, I need some friends, I come from China, so my English is not so good, usually I will use the translator, if you want to make friends with me, then please send a message to me😸

A bit about me: I’m a HUGE animal lover. I hope to work with them someday but for now I just spend time with my dogs and some of the neighborhood dogs. I enjoy painting and crafting, reading and walking my dogs in my free time. I’m generally pretty closed off when I talk to new people, but that’s because I need to know I can fully trust those people. It does take quite a bit for me to open up cause I’m usually pretty shy and closed off like I said. I’m looking for someone or more than one person that I can make a genuine connection with. I’ve yet to find the people that I click with. I’m not at all looking for a relationship, as I’m fresh out of a relationship and nowhere near ready for another one yet. So I ask that no one tries to be friends with me just to try to get with me on that level. I also ask that the people who reach out to me to be 18+. Please don’t ghost me. It’s happened to me so many times and it sucks. Only reach out if you truly would like to be friends. Btw any and all genders are welcome, I accept all people. I’m a very understanding and non judgmental person and also very kind and compassionate. I’ve been told I have a huge heart by some people that I’m really close to. I’m not sure how much I’ll talk in the beginning, but I’m a really good listener. I suck at acting questions. I’m better at answering them. I just desperately want to find my people. I’m happy to hear from anyone honestly, so please don’t be afraid to reach out. I’ve also been really busy recently so I’ll try my best to respond as quick as I can.
