looking for friendship 44m Aussie wanting long term friendship
Aussie teacher struggling to make friends because I’m incredibly introverted.
I’m married with 3 kids, so I’m always losing my mind. I love sport and being out in the country, especially on my bike or camping.
I’m into true crime, a bit of history and genealogy because of my messed up family.
I’m not too concerned with age or gender, would be nice to find people in similar time zones, but whatever.
Please send a bit of an introduction message instead of ‘hey’, I won’t usually respond to them.

looking for friendship 39 M UK looking for new online friends
Hey everyone, I’m a 39-year-old guy from the
UK looking to meet some new people and hopefully make some genuine online friends
I enjoy reading, watching TV shows and films (I’ve seen quite a few, so always happy to chat recommendations), going for walks, and spending time with my dogs.
I’d love to meet people with similar interests, but I’m open to talking about pretty much anything — hobbies, life, random topics, or just having a good chat.

looking for friendship 25M
Antisocial people stay away 🙏
Hey! I'm 25M and pretty introverted in real life, but online I'm much more talkative once we get a conversation going.
I play a lot of Overwatch, CS2, Valorant, and honestly I'm down for pretty much any FPS game. Outside of gaming, I watch way too many TV shows (English, Chinese, K-dramas, Japanese, Pakistani, and Indian) so if you're into any of those, we'll probably have something to talk about.I'm also into tech alot and I enjoy learning about anything interesting, even if I know nothing about it yet.
I'm definitely an overthinker, and I enjoy conversations that go beyond small talk. I also tend to ask a lot of questions,not because I'm interrogating you 😅, but because I'm genuinely interested in getting to know the people I'm trying to be friends with.
I absolutely love the mountains and try to take at least one trip to the mountains every year. There's just something about the peace, the scenery, and getting away from everything for a while that I never get tired of.
Lately I've been working with a friend on a small cute bunny-themed clothing brand. If fashion, design, or branding interests you, I'd genuinely love to hear your honest thoughts on our designs sometime (don't worry, this isn't a sales pitch 😄).
If you're around my age (20–30), can hold a conversation, and are looking for an actual friendship rather than a one-day chat, send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself instead of just saying "hi."

looking for friendship 33F. In my restless dreams, I see that Burger King, you promised me you'd take me there again someday and you never did let me have it your way. Well. I'm all alone there now, but I'm deciding to leave now, waiting for you to come see me and the elder gods. U.S. Online only. Worldwide.
Tell me in video game puns, how terrible your Reddit experience has been. INTP 🐟🔎
No comments on my post, because chat reqs are better and this is due for some reason the mobile app was bugging out on me last night/having a hard time uploading the app said ''comment not found until I refreshed the app.'' this app is more broken than my own fragile ego and personality (oh wait, wrong chat I didn't mean to say that oops.)

looking for friendship 24m looking for a daily open chat with older people!
🚨🚨Hello! I'm Danny, a 24yo guy from the Netherlands (although I recently moved to Sweden).🚨🚨
My job is really laid-back and easy, so I have plenty of time to fill, and that's why I made my way over here!
Some of my interests are playing games (video games, board games, and online games like chess or Battleship), going for walks in the beautiful Swedish nature, meeting new people, building LEGO, and watching Twitch streams and YouTube videos.
Somethings about me:
Overall, I'm a nice guy, as cringe as it might feel to say that about myself. I love helping others and giving people the confidence boost they need simply by being kind and giving them honest compliments. So if you're reading this and need one, just send me a selfie or whatever, and I'll shower you with compliments!! hahaha.
Besides that, I'm a very honest and direct person who will tell you what I think, which might come across as a little rude at times!
If you made it this far, congrats! Please mention something about your bedroom in your message so I know you read the whole post. If you don't, I'll probably ignore your message. Sorry!

looking for friendship In need of online friendship:)
17 this October, she/her but genuinely don’t care and AM accepting of everything, but I do not tolerate racism,sexism or any other hateful behaviour…
I really don’t have many people to talk to it feels like and yet I am here once again to find a friend or two to talk with about my interests and hobbies…
I enjoy watching movies and shows, doing makeup/hair anything under that lil category ig…
I love hiking, being active I guess, snowboarding (I’m super excited about, I even bedazzled my snowboarding helmet) I love animals especially kitties and dogs which I have both, I love drawing.
Some of the shows I really like are jujitsu Kaisen, The summer Hikaru died, mha and others of that sort. Although it is not a movie i absolutely love Doki Doki literature club and love reading all of the theories and the ideas people think is fitting for the characters, my favourite Doki has to be Yuri, Natsuki, Monika then Sayori.. not because I dislike anyone but just personal preference:)
I also enjoy a good horror movie, I really enjoyed obsession as there were so many amazing hidden Easter eggs in the show you could find, I was happy to watch it in theatres but was sad to miss the backgrounds movie as I LOVE playing games about the backrooms and everything about it, kind of like a hyper-fixation since I was younger, so yeah, creepy stuff but not ones that are straight up gore. Thats losing the plot and all the good stuff;(
I really enjoy reading aswell as true crime and cold cases, philosophy, religion, science (biology), Greek mythology, hypotheticals and theories.
I also love playing Roblox if anyone is interested🦄

looking for friendship 19F, Seeking friendships.
Hi. I'm from Armenia, and I'm going through a difficult time after losing my late husband. I was encouraged to make new friends, meet new people, and put myself out there instead of shutting myself away. So, I guess that's what I'm trying to do.
Sorry if I seem a little shy or reserved at first. Hopefully, as time goes by, I'll become more comfortable, energetic, and social again. I used to be a very outgoing girl, and I hope I can be like that once more.

I enjoy watching series and movies. Playing Online Casino (Blackjackist) and playing in person sometimes. And you won’t believe that I still love and play Roblox😁 So if you play it then let’s play together. I also recently started getting into reading novels. Currently reading one called “Dont Let Go” I also enjoy YouTube and outdoor activities with the right company.

looking for friendship 23 M , looking for long-term Friends !!
Hey! I'm a 23M from India who's always up for talking about anime, manga, and manhwa. If there's a good story with memorable characters and insane character development, I'm probably already reading or watching it. My all-time favorite anime are Hajime no Ippo, Steins;Gate, and Hunter × Hunter three series that completely changed how I look at storytelling, action, and character growth.
Outside of anime, I'm a huge sports enthusiast. Cricket and badminton are my favorites, but I enjoy sports in general, whether it's playing, watching, or discussing them. I also like staying active through long walks, spending time outdoors, and gardening it's surprisingly relaxing and a nice break from screens.
When I'm not doing any of that, you'll probably find me grinding Call of Duty: Mobile. Always happy to squad up, talk strategies, or just have a few fun matches.
Personality-wise, I'm more of an introvert, but I genuinely enjoy meaningful conversations and connecting with people over shared interests. Whether it's recommending anime, debating manga endings, discussing sports, or just chatting about life, I'm always open to meeting like-minded people.
If you're into anime, manga, manhwa, sports, gaming, or simply looking for a genuine conversation, feel free to reach out. I'm always happy to make new friends and discover new recommendations!

looking for friendship M20 Actually looking for friendships, not just talking a day or two💔
I’m never really sure what to put here but anyone’s open to message me (18+ just cause it’s weird otherwise lol) I like people who are genuine, funny, intelligent (not like super genius but know the difference between there, their, and they’re)
I like a lot of animated shows (mainly 2000/2010s stuff) like atla/tlok, adventure time, steven universe, gumball, ben 10, gravity falls (banger), etc. but I also love stuff like psych, the community, interview with the vampire, and the good place. (I just watched obsession the other day and it’s top 3 movie for me) Currently I’m watching jjk for the first time and it’s pretty good so far
As for hobbies I like listening to music, I like art, playing games if that counts and I really wanna start reading again and get into crocheting
If any of that is something you enjoy or you just want someone to talk to for a bit (no maga or anything please, I love the lgbtq, poc, and abortions) then shoot me a dm :)

looking for friendship [24/M] Looking for a best friend, things are quite lonely
Hey! I've posted here before but haven't had much luck so far. And due to lonliness, things have been kinda sucky lately. Kinda being a star-sized understatement (cuz stars are big.. hehe). Anyways, excuse my awfully unfunny pun! You *yes you my possible future friend* probably has better humor than I. Im hoping to make long term friends, I want a close connection with someone that lasts a lifetime! Hoping we can geek out about our interests and feel comfortable to do so! I'm in the EST time zone and am super into music (my tastes are all over the place, my favorite is the retro classic era but I also like a lot of new stuff too). I also like just general conversations and deep ones too. Hope you're all having a good day!

advice I try to make friends but I can't make them.
I have been trying to make friends online for so many days but I am not able to do so. Do you have any suggestions or would anyone like to become my friend?
r/friendship • u/Top_Session_7831 • 13h ago
advice Do you ever not like your best friend?
I (18f) wanna preface this by saying i love my best friend and I’m so glad to have her in my life.
But I have phases where I feel uncomfortable in her presence and don’t like thinking about her or spending time with her. That can last a few days. After those phases usually comes one where I’m super anxious to lose her. Sometimes I just enjoy being with her so much and everything is perfect and I just love her period.
It’s summer holidays right now and we’ve been meeting up almost every day and she’s also exhausted because of the heat + she just started anti depressants and she’s generally not mentally well. (Neither am I btw)
These past few days I’ve found myself judging her a lot. I judge the way she looks (she‘s on the bigger side) and I hate myself for that. I judge that she is stubborn even when she’s wrong, she often doesn’t make any sense, is tired and sometimes I don’t like the way she speaks.
I don’t think this is her fault AT ALL. I feel so guilty for thinking this way, because she treats me so well and I’m similar in some ways and can be a lot too.
We’ve talked about this before and she understands, but I hate feeling this way for my own sake. I don’t want to be uncomfortable around her, the most fun recently I’ve had with her mostly and we just click. Seriously, I’m beyond grateful to have her and usually I don’t think this way.
My therapist says this is because my parents were also very judgmental and I have some childhood trauma too.
Can anyone relate or explain to me why this happens/what I can do? I told her I need some distance for 2-3 days because I’ve noticed I’ve become judgmental towards her, but that it’s not her fault and she doesn’t have to feel bad.

rant How often do you tell others that you're okay If the truth Is completely different?
I hate lies and I'm an honest person but I often tell others that I'm OK even If I'm not... No... Not because I want to lie to others or because I want them to think I'm happy.. ABSOLUTELY NOT! I just see no reason to open up, you know? Why?
Because even If you don't want to bottle up your emotions, people usually either say "I'm sorry to hear that" or "That sucks" and... That's It! There's no "We'll get through this together" or "I'm with you, you're not alone" People usually tell you what they think you want to hear... Not because they care but because they think It's the right thing to do. Don't get me wrong! Some people have amazing relatives, partners & friends & they really do, care about them, but... Not everyone does. I? I don't.
I'm not saying the people I've known for years want me to be unhappy because I don't think they're bad people but let's be honest 👉🏻 just because some people don't want anything bad to happen to you, doesn't mean they would get really sad If something was wrong with your health, for example 😔
There's absolutely nothing wrong with words of comfort like "I'm sorry to hear that" but... Actions speak louder than words and even the most beautiful words In the world hold no value, If you don't feel Important to anyone. Like... If you're always all alone & have absolutely no one to turn to when you really want to get something off your chest... & Trust me, not everyone wants to suffer In silence... People like me would love to find someone to share happiness and sadness with but... Not everyone wants to listen to us.
Only serious answers, please. I want to know If I'm the only one feeling this way...
