Like dead ass HOW do you come onto a subreddit about making new friends to literally then ghost the person LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER???

And the dudes on here will complain and be like, “oh, the girls never message back to our dms”, OK DUDE MAYBE LEARN TO RESPOND TO HER MESSAGES AND CARRY A CONVERSATION FOR LONGER THAN A LUNCH BREAK??? 🤨

Like I’m no Sherlock, but shit guys I really think if you are able to continue to communicate with a person who interests you and puts an effort to get to know you, you may JUST MAY, have something called A FRIENDSHIP 😀

But hey, what do I know when all I’ve seen are people vanishing faster than ALL OF THE GHOST AND DEMONS FROM THE ENTIRE CONJURING FRANCHISE 💀

Then they see posts like this and they’re up all in your DMs like, “oh i TOTALLY relate and would NEVER ghost”, just to be ANOTHER name added to the list.

Like either put in the effort or MOVE ASIDE for those who actually care enough to do it instead ✨🖕✨

(thank you for listening to my Ted Talk 🙂‍↕️ and if you’ve made it this far and AREN’T a douchebag or a chronic ghoster, please feel free to send me a dm where you’ll get to see the less frustrated side of me :)

(Please, read this post If you want to send me a message)

Yes... I'm still here and I'm still trying to find someone... That's all I want 😔 Finding a bestie Is my dream... I would love to finally say "Goodbye" to my loneliness and start smiling, again. Not with someone random, but with someone who wants what I want...

(I'm a REAL PERSON! Bots are taking over Reddit but I'm not one of them so don't accuse me of being someone/something I'm not)

I want you to read everything because my expectations aren't the same as other people's expectations. I also want you to know what to expect because even though we're all here to spend time with others, not everyone needs new friends. Some people want to find someone to play games with & It's just an example. 👇🏻

(This post Is for people who live In Europe because I would love to meet my new friends In real life, In the future)

I made this account In 2021 and even though I'm really active on Reddit, I can't make new friends... Not everyone on Reddit Is toxic or rude but there's ALWAYS something missing because I don't feel any emotional connection... I would love to change my life & finally wake up excited to text someone I really, really like 🙁 But... Life Isn't easy and I'm not sure If there's still a chance for me to find someone with exactly the same expectations as mine, someone who wants to meet someone new...

• I'm DEFINITELY NOT Interested In small talk! I had to use capital letters because I don't like low-effort messages and I don't even want to read them. Repetitive questions like "How are you?", "What are you up to?" or "What are your plans for the weekend?" aren't enough to start a conversation with me.. Don't get me wrong - Questions like these can be an Interesting addition to conversations about something else, but whenever people ask me the three most common questions In the world - my answer's the same because my life Is quite monotonous and I don't really know what people expect to hear 🙁 I also don't like abbreviations. Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or phrases. Why? I just don't like them because I see no reason to use shortened forms of words that are already short enough, you know? Abbreviations are common among minors and bored adults but I'm neither a minor, nor a bored adult. I want to see emotional maturity, warmth and kindness In conversations with others.

• I don't need to see your list of hobbies to know If you're someone I would get along with! You can tell me what you're Interested In but.. Believe It or not - I'm not like others and even If you're Interested In something I'm not - we can still be friends! What matters to me Is what you're like (If you're honest, talkative, kind, understanding and If your outlook on life Is similar to mine)

• I don't want to talk to minors and people way older than me. Why? I don't want to talk to minors because I'm an adult & I don't want to talk to anyone over fifty for example. Emotional maturity doesn't necessarily come with age so you can send me a message even If you're 20 (It's just an example) but please, don't contact me If you want to remind me that I'm older than you. I want you to feel comfortable & I want to feel comfortable myself. When I read messages like "Hi, I'm younger but I hope you don't mind" I always say to myself "If my age bothers you, you should've contacted someone else" I absolutely don't mind talking to people younger than me If they know how to communicate with others 🌸

• PLEASE, Don't use AI to talk to me! I Can't stand AI generated messages! If I wanted to read AI generated messages, I wouldn't be here! I read AI generated messages and comments all the time and I'm sick of It!

• I don't want to get any messages from people whose accounts are NSFW! Please, respect my decision! It's none of my business If you're here to find someone to flirt with or If you're an Internet exhibitionist but I don't want to see you with no clothes on - If you want to be my friend & I don't want to know what you want to do with other women In bed. If you are on Reddit to flirt with others, be on Reddit to flirt with others but... don't make an alternative account to hide who you really are just to send me a message. Pretending to be someone you're not - Isn't good for anyone

• I'm not a fan of sarcasm! I do - have a sense of humor but I'm not someone who makes fun of everyone and everything... Jokes about disabilities, death, religion or someone's financial status - are unacceptable to me!

• I also want to meet people who don't mind listening to negative stories and sharing them with others. My life's not easy so If you want to be In my life, you should be prepared for a realistic or even pessimistic outlook on life. I'm definitely not an optimist and I know I wouldn't get along with optimistic people who always tell others "Just believe In yourself and everything's gonna be OK" or something. We don't always get what we want & and It's completely normal to lose hope "for a better tomorrow" after many failed attempts. Not everything's as easy as It seems to be so If all you want to say to someone who needs emotional support Is "Don't complain" or "Find a therapist" Please.. don't send me a message. Not all sad people need therapists and let's be honest - Would a therapist replace a true friend? Absolutely not! Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on! I also don't mind listening to sad stories (even If they're repetitive) because I know what It's like when no one wants to listen to you...

• I would love to meet people who also don't have anyone, you know? There's absolutely nothing wrong with having friends and not being single but I'm single and I don't have anyone special In my life... It's just easier for me to get along with others If there's some common ground. I just feel better talking to people who know what It's like to be completely alone & let's be honest - People who have friends or partners, have less time for others...(which Is completely understandable) and I? I don't want to feel like an option, again. I'm not here to meet as many people as possible because I choose quality over quantity 🌸

• If your comment history Is full of comments "If you want to talk, hit me up" don't send me a message. I don't want to be rude but If It doesn't make any difference to you who you want to chat with - I'm definitely not for you. I want you to be my friend because of who I am! (If after reading my post you think you'd get along with me) I don't need emotional support from someone who doesn't even want to read my post.

• I want to talk to people who love and use emojis 🤭😊 Why? Emojis help us express our emotions even If others can't see our faces. Two emojis "😊" and "😔" are completely enough. You're probably surprised but.. text messages without emojis are really emotionless... I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea" as it sounds dismissively! First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even In a text message

Ps. I don't like kids and I don't want to ever become a parent. I just thought everyone should know that just In case. I don't want any unpleasant conversations with anyone. Not everyone wants to be friends with people who don't want kids so.. It's better to be honest. 🌸

Ps.2 I don't reply to messages I'm not Interested In even If they're long! I'm not on Reddit to pretend anything and I'm not here to be everyone's best friend. Some people lie & make empty promises to get attention. I? I'm quite selective because I know what I want.

Ps.3 I admire sensitive people who are not ashamed of crying In front of others! Crying Is not a weakness! It's not a weakness even If you're a guy 🧡

Please, If you want to talk send me a private message.

Hello! I’m Marie and I’m 28 years old. I love fashion and skincare. I really like horror movies, especially those of the slasher genre. I like to edit photos so if one day you need to edit (whichever) do not hesitate to consult me. Feel free to talk to me!

Please be 30+.

I’m looking to make genuine friends from India who want a long-lasting friendship, not just a short-term connection. I appreciate people who put in equal effort and genuinely want to stay in touch rather than disappearing after a few conversations.

Daily chatters and late-night talkers are especially welcome! 🌙 Someone who enjoys random conversations, sharing thoughts, talking about anything and everything, and building a friendship through consistency and mutual effort. If you’re looking for the same kind of genuine connection, feel free to DM me. 😊

I've been ruminating on the healing poweress of a genuinely warm hug. For a moment, we can stop trying to make sense of everything, let the world carry on without us, and simply exist in the warmth of another person. Life asks so much of us already; sometimes, we just need a little softness.

With winter approaching, I'm making a case for the underrated art of getting cozy: bear hugs, side cuddles, sleepy snuggles, comfort cuddles, and those legendary “five more minutes” under-the-blanket moments. Fresh sheets, good hygiene, mutual respect, and plenty of warmth included. ☕❄️

I'm 34M, a humanist, PhD survivor, and professional overthinker learning to build a life beyond academia. I'm working on my second book, but I'm also discovering that a meaningful life isn't built from achievements alone. Sometimes, it's the little things that make it feel whole.

I'd love to meet someone who enjoys affectionate closeness, good conversation, and the freedom to be a little silly. Someone with whom we could talk about life at odd hours, laugh at absolutely nothing, or simply enjoy a comfortable silence without feeling the need to fill it.

I value kindness, emotional openness, and care that goes both ways. I think there's something lovely about a connection where neither person has to perform, impress, or have everything figured out. Just two people who feel comfortable in each other's company and let things unfold naturally, without unnecessary pressure or expectations.

I'm hoping to find a cuddle buddy for whom affection can be simple, warm, and genuine. Ideally, a platonic connection to begin with, built on mutual comfort, clear boundaries, and the kind of trust that makes a hug feel like a little exhale from the world.

So, tell me: what's your favorite kind of cuddle? The classic spoon, the head-on-chest variety, the tangled-up-in-blankets special, or something entirely your own?

If this resonates with you, send me a little introduction and tell me your favorite form of cuddle. Bonus points if you can make me smile. 🧸📚

I’m Stella, I just turned 24, and I’m on the hunt for some new long-term friends to chat and hang out with.

​A little bit about me: I’m a total homebody and my ideal evening involves one (or all) of these things:

​💻 PC Gaming: I spend a lot of time in front of my monitor.

​🎮 Switch: For those cozy gaming moments.

​💄 Makeup: I love makeup.

​🍲 Cooking: Trying new recipes is my jam.

​👻 Horror Movies: The scarier, the better!

​I’d love to find people around my age (20s-30s) to geek out with. I’m especially looking to connect with folks in the US (or just generally on US time zones) so we can actually catch each other online!

​If we share interests and you're down for a chat, feel free to slide into my DMs! Tell me a bit about yourself too. 😊

Gooood morning everybody how are we all on this fine Saturday?!

36 year old married guy here who loves a laugh and has great banter (self-decided but pretty sure that's right). Love getting out in the great outdoors, reading, playing guitar, gaming occasionally, watching a good series like everyone does etc

Out here looking for laid back people for chats, can be funny and relaxed or deep I'm down for either

My name's Annie. I am mostly looking for someone to spend time with, share stuff with, give all my attention and care to, and someone to play games with. I will preface saying I'm kind of nuts for Project Zomboid, and I'd love someone to play with.

Summed up, play games, talk a lot, and watch movies with.

As for the rest, here's a bit about me: I enjoy sci-fi, drawing, painting, and I do a lot of gaming too. (I am super fixated on Project Zomboid, but I am up to trying other games, I've recently been very into Life is Strange). I also enjoy researching crime, psychology, and biology/neuropsychology at times. I have quite the fixation on the Chernobyl disaster, and radiation as a whole. All types of zombie media, too. I have an interest for "odd" movies, especially the apocalyptic and/or thriller kind. Terminator (1&2) is a personal favorite.

EDIT: Send me an actual message, not just introducing yourself like it's a job interview, where there's little i can go off on to start a conversation. throw an icebreaker, something! ask questions! (here's me suggesting an icebreaker, is a hotdog a sandwich? why, or why not?). Please, preferably no one over 24.

Hope everyone is doing well today. I'm just curious to see if anyone is interested in chatting with me because I'm sick in bed right now, so I just wanted some company.

Hi!! 22f looking for fellow artists and/or queer friends ₍˄·͈༝·͈˄₎◞ ̑̑

I AM NOT INTERESTED IN ANYTHING THATS NOT PLATONIC!!!!!!!! I do not send pictures of myself!! Do not ask.

I'm a humanist, PhD survivor, and professional overthinker working on my second book. I love thoughtful conversations, stories, and the little things that make life feel meaningful.

With winter approaching, I'm making a case for the simple pleasures: warm hugs, sleepy snuggles, shared blankets, and those legendary “five more minutes” moments. Fresh sheets, good hygiene, mutual respect, and plenty of warmth included. ☕❄️

One thing I'd especially love to share with someone is reading together while cuddling. Imagine a cold evening, a cozy blanket, and a good book. Maybe I read aloud while you rest your head on my chest, we take turns reading passages to each other, or we enjoy our own books while snuggled up together. Bonus points if we get so comfortable that neither of us wants to turn the page. 📖

I'd love to meet someone kind and affectionate who enjoys meaningful conversations, silly little moments, and comfortable silences. No pressure to impress or have everything figured out, just two people enjoying each other's company.

Ideally, I'd like to start with a platonic connection built on mutual comfort, trust, and clear boundaries, and see where things go naturally.

So, what's your ideal cozy evening? Reading aloud to each other, being the little spoon while someone reads, or getting distracted by cuddles before finishing a single chapter?

DM me a little about yourself, your favorite books, with your ideal cuddle setup. Bonus points if you make me smile. 😊

I'm curious how many others do this.  And I'm not just implying bad thoughts either, far from it.  Perhaps you're just loud brained.  Maybe you're always mulling something over?  Do cringeworthy memories of your youth return at random?  Maybe you think about people you used to know, or things you said or did or that you wished you said or did.  Lives you could have led or that you want to lead.

A bit about me:

• British, married, straight
• Kind, stoic, curious and non-judgemental
• Unapologetically geeky
• Mediocre blues guitarist
• My garden is my kingdom
• Something of a scientist myself
• Watcher of snooker
• Reluctant gym goer
• J'apprend le francais tres lentement
• Chronically on Reddit 
• I hate fascists

I'm open to people from all over the world, and for those of you lucky enough to share an island with me I'm even open to meeting if we're close enough and we make good friends (though this is by no means a requirement, I have done it before and made a couple of lasting friends).  

All I ask is that you are also kind, curious and willing to put a little effort in.  If you ghost me, I'm not going to chase you - I have too much self-respect for that.

If you think we could get on then please reach out and introduce yourself by answering the question: what's something that's guaranteed to make you cry?

37 year old, single dad, looking for new online friends.
I want to make good connections :)
I primarily search for friends in the European time Zone. That makes things a lot easier :)
I am open to any body as long as you don't just ghost me 😂 a bonus would be if you play CS2 😎

Hey i am 23M from India and i am really tired of temporary or one sided friendships that make me feel special for a day and then disappear and am really tired of fake friendships, timepass or fake people who show off emotions only to disappear later. I habe been struggling with loneliness and mental health issues for a long time now.The fear of abandonment and sudden silence can hurt a lot.

I deal with alexithymia, adhd, bpd, rsd, hypersensitivity, cptsd, social anxiety and a constantly overthinking mind cuz of this i have become extremely lonely and i have basically zero real connections rn both online and offline. I am looking for someone in a similar place: someone who is also very alone, has little to no friends, struggles with self-esteem or feeling unattractive not good enough and is dealing with their own mental health struggles. Preferably someone who is unemployed or in a similar low energy life situation, so we can understand each other better and be on a similar wavelength. I want a genuine, long-term friendship not casual chatting, timepass or being someone's backup option. I am quite clingy, possessive and emotionally intense and i would love to find someone who naturally enjoys that same kind of closeness. Someone who wants to genuinely choose the friendship, put effort into it, check in regularly, share their everyday life, and slowly build real emotional closeness. I value warmth, reassurance, honesty, consistency and that safe feeling of knowing someone is actually there. I would love to talk daily, share random thoughts, have deep late night conversations, laugh, send memes and just exist comfortably together. One thing i would really love: I am mostly active on Instagram and bgmi game throughout the day, so if u r someone who is active there too, that would be a huge plus. I would love having someone to randomly send reels to all day, react to each other’s stories, share stupid/funny/relatable videos, and then somehow end up talking for hours so basically i want the kind of friendship where we casually send each other reels whenever something reminds us of the other person. Once we’re comfortable, calls would mean a lot too especially if u r from India since the similar time zone and better language understanding can make staying connected easier.

Please only reach out if:

- You are genuinely very lonely and don’t currently have many meaningful friendships, either online or IRL.

- You are looking for the same kind of clingy, loyal, close, long-term friendship.

- You are serious about consistent communication and mutual emotional availability.

- You are from India (big preference because of language/cultural understanding and eventually being able to call).

- You arecomfortable being active on Instagram or at least enjoy chatting and sharing reels there.

Please don’t message if you already have a huge social circle and are only looking for someone to talk to when you’re getting bored or if you are looking for something short time or timepass like conversation for few hrs or one day only. I know this post is heavy, but i am being honest cuz i don’t have much energy left for anything fake or temporary. If you are also very alone lonely, overthink a lot and genuinely crave a close friendship where both people consistently show up for each other, I would really like to hear from you and please tell me a little about yourself when you message me not just hey. Maybe send me your favourite reel or tell me what kind of stuff you usually like to send your friends😭
