New rule: No minors allowed starting June 5, 2026

1.1k Upvotes

It’s July 5. Typo My bad.

A major change in this sub is set to happen at 12:01am UTC Sunday, July 5. The new rule will replace rule 13. All minors, those under 18, will *NOT* be allowed to participate in this sub. This is for the safety of everyone participating. If you are under the age of 18, please utilize teen friend-finding subs.

For clarity:

Q: Can minors make posts? A: No.

Q: Can minors comment? A: No.

Q: But it’s just to make a friend, there’s nothing nsfw or anything. A: Doesn’t matter, you cannot participate. You will be banned.

Q: If I was previously banned for breaking rule 13, can I be reinstated? A: No.

Q: What if I don’t post my age? A: You must post your age. Any posts without ages will be removed.

Q: Do comments need to include ages? A: No, they don’t.

Q: Since it’s adults only, we can now have a nsfw post or comment history or post nsfw stuff here, right? A: No, that’s still against rule 2.

Q: I’m a minor. Will you keep my previous posts and comments up? A: Yes.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Long-term RANT: People DM’ing just to disappear faster than an ACTUAL GHOST ✋😭💀

120 Upvotes

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 :)

Age 26-29 29F - looking for someone to chat with tonight, or longer if you’d like :)

19 Upvotes

Hi there,

I’m up late tonight and just looking for some good conversation :) I’d really love a long term friend, but it’s okay if we just chat tonight too. A little about me: I love music a lot, especially metalcore (I’m looking to expand my melodic metalcore collection, actually), I read quite a bit, I’m from GA USA, and I am vehemently ghost-free for the most part — meaning if you’re not dry or creepy :(. I’d like to keep this short and sweet so any more than that, you’ll have to click that chat button to find out :)

F19 recently started working night shift as a Veterinary Nurse and I’m feeling so disconnected and have no idea how to get into the flow of working nights. I’d love to make some friends with the same schedule as me, preferably those also working long night shift hours who may have some advice too </3
Say something interesting! Not just “hey”. And please don’t be a weirdo xx

Age 22-25 23f can anyone talk do I don’t spiral?

• Upvotes

Got into a fight while drunk with my ex/friend. I didn’t think to make food early enough? But then he started saying really mean things to me so I hit his arm cause he’s done that our entire relationship and apparently friendship and I’ve had enough. And after everything I’ve given him apparently it means nothing.

So I’m just uh sitting in the driveway between my car and his and I think he went to sleep cause the lights are off and I’m stuck outside because I can’t drive cause my wallets inside and I’m too drunk..

So I feel like worthless garbage right now ahahahaa

Just wanna have a call with someone who also struggles with depression. I’d like to talk about it all, share our experiences, and hear about each other’s ways of coping.
It’s not gonna be a negative or depressing conversation the whole time lol, just wanna talk openly with someone who gets it.
Looking for someone around my age who’s down to chat on a call. Please DM me with your age. Just looking for one call, not long-term friends!

Age 26-29 F 26 East Coast USA- Looking for friends!

4 Upvotes

I hope all who are reading this are doing well. Long time lurker of this subreddit but first time poster. Over the past few weeks my thoughts and emotions have reached a tipping point that has brought me to this subreddit.

I have come to the conclusion that I am simply extremely alone and isolated, why not use the power of the internet to help me find someone to keep me company! Currently I am looking for online friends, I’d like to at the moment remain as texting based friends but in the future I don’t mind VC I’d just need to get comfortable first, I have no issue sharing pictures of what I look like if needed.

A bit about me

When I am not busy working I am mainly on my computer gaming! I mostly play League of Legends! (If anyone is on the North American server let’s play!) other games I play are Overwatch, Skyrim, fallout 4 and 76, occasionally deadlock (if my PC decides it can handle itself that day) and a lot of Sonic the Hedgehog games!

Besides video games I also absolutely love music! Perhaps it’s to fill the void but I find myself playing music almost 24/7. I started to collect vinyl records recently. I also make my own music, I find it’s a good outlet to express myself.

I enjoy writing stories, mainly fantasies/ fan-fictions of mine and Roleplaying.

Looking for someone who respects me, enjoys what I like, and helps me feel less alone.☺️

Long-term Looking for someone to rant to also a long-term buddy!

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m 24 and looking to make some genuine, long-term friendships or even just find someone to chat with regularly! A little about me I have a variety of interests! I love going to the gym, spending time in nature, aquarium keeping, and anything involving animals. I’m also getting back into college as a biology major, which I’m really excited about! Lately, I’ve been working on improving myself, especially when it comes to my fitness and weight loss journey. I’d absolutely love to find an accountability buddy so we can motivate each other, share progress, and keep each other on track! I’ve also been dealing with some anxiety surrounding a driving test I have Monday- and would love to have someone to talk or vent to about it. I know I’m 24 and still don’t have my license, but there’s a whole backstory behind that I’m reminding myself that it’s never too late to start! I’d really love to meet people who enjoy meaningful conversations, can talk about random things, share their everyday lives, and genuinely want to build a lasting friendship.
If any of this sounds like you, feel free to message me! I’d love to get to know you! 21+ only since I’m 24! :D

Looking to swap songs and maybe chat some. I’d also love to watch a horror movie in tandem, used fo do this with other people from reddit but don’t have any movie friends anymore.

Send me a tune! Send me your least favorite tune! Send me your all time best tune! Send me your most obscure tune! Just do itttt. Yt or sptfy links are fine

Age 26-29 29F just platonifriendship and genuine conversations

• Upvotes

I read a post today about to be loved is to be seen and known. I believe genuine friendships form when two people asked questions about each other and remember little things. Yeah just some random thoughts.

I enjoy watching sports like F1, tennis and cycling. I do a bit of running and cycling myself. Pickleball is what I am obsessed lately (sorry to the tennis community).

I like listening to The Strokes, Oasis, 2 Olivias (iykyk), Lorde. And whole other genres lol.

I enjoy traveling. This might be random, I’ve already visited Italy before. But there’s always a part of me wanting to go to Crema, just to feel the CMBYN vibes lol.

I finished Fruit Fly by Josh Silver. I think it’s one of my fave books this year.

I have a Fujifilm to take photos. I was in Tokyo in my last trip, it really brought out the vibes that I wanted to for the trip. My next trip is Taiwan. I can’t wait to experiment more.

I’m from Asia, timezones might be different.

Tell me something about yourself rather than a simple “hey”.
