20F Feeling really lonely these days

• Upvotes

I don’t have anyone I talk to on a daily basis or anyone if at all tbh. I think it’s a me problem because I don’t know how to open up to people lol

About me tho: I like reading books (philosophy, psychology, and history), working out, watching anime (fav are code geass, fate, and steins gate), I am in computer science, I like cute stuff, I join pageants, chess, cosplay, I play video games I don’t play much multiplayers but willing to dedicate a lot of time on something if ever a friend wants to teach me or play with me 🥲 I play all sorts of genres but the current ones I play rn are just yandere slop. I’ve reached a new low. Oh and I’m trying to learn Russian again.

Anyways, my dms are open tell me anything about yourself

Some days I can do things, some days I can't. My friendships require flexibility I don't always get. I love embroidery, reading, and my cat. Want a text friend who understands that showing up looks different for me.

I spend hours interviewing people about their communities and go home to nothing. The irony isn't lost on me. I like folk music, embroidery, and cooking. Want a friend to text between fieldwork days.

33M/The Netherlands - Trying to spice up my fairly boring life

• Upvotes

Hey there! 👋

I'm living a relatively comfortable life, but if I'm being completely honest, it's been lacking any real spice lately. I have realized I've been playing it a little too safe in my cozy introverted bubble, and honestly, it is time for a hard reset. I am genuinely ready to shake off the cobwebs, and give my social life a bit of a jump-start.

I’m looking for new pals, whether that means grabbing a drink in real life, becoming virtual friends, or just being texting buddies. I want someone to share the day-to-day with. Let’s ask each other deeply meaningful questions, or entirely meaningless ones. Send me photos of your dinner, a cool building you walked past, or just vent about your day. Broaden my horizons!

A quick cheat-sheet about who you'd be talking to:

• ⁠I used to be a die-hard coffee drinker, but I am slowly (and suspiciously) converting to tea.
• ⁠I absolutely thrive living in a bustling city, but my ideal vacation involves fleeing to a remote wilderness to hike and bike until my legs give out.
• ⁠Paperbacks > Hardcovers. Always.
• ⁠I love experimenting in the kitchen. Results may vary, but I am yet to poison anyone.
• ⁠I own way more watches than any sane person should.
• ⁠I’m a former fit guy who got fat, and I'm currently trying (and mostly failing) to get fit again. Accountability buddies are welcome!
• ⁠I'm in the middle of a postgraduate course for work, so my evenings currently involve a lot of studying 😅

On a more serious note: I like to be an open book. I’ve struggled with my mental health in the past, and though I'm doing much better now, I continue to go to therapy. I share this because I’m a big believer in acknowledging our battles, and I want you to know I’m a safe, open-minded, and non-judgmental space. LGBTQ+ friendly, I'm somewhere on the non-binary spectrum myself.

If you're up for a chat but aren't sure how to start a conversation, just tell me about your favorite recipe!

Hope to hear from you soon!

I'm scared and hopeful about it. I'm in college but socially I feel behind. I like sketching, indie bands you've probably never heard of, and my niece who is three. Want a patient text friend I can be a little awkward with.

In-person plans stress me out and I cancel and then feel worse. Text feels safer. I like reading science fiction, embroidery, and bad puns. Want a friend who won't take slow replies personally.

31F, immigrant who realized she's built a life but not community

• Upvotes

I've been in this country eight years, I have a good job and a nice apartment and almost no close friends. I miss my mom terribly. I love cooking food from home, hiking, and long books. Want a real friend, not a hi-once-a-year contact.

M/21 looking for someone to talk and connect with and see where it goes

• Upvotes

A little about me. I'm not into a lot of things but whatever I am into I enjoy thoroughly - that holds for hobbies as well as people haha.

I like to admire and enjoy art - now that could be in any form. Anime, movies, books, music, sports. I consider people an art too - so be cautious because I might spend irrational amount of time admiring you too haha. I am a huge movie and show addict. I practiced MMA in the past. I've recently started learning guitar. If you're someone who enjoys a random dose of thoughtful conversations once in a while, you'll love me.

I'm decently humorous and great at playing with words (enough to keep you on your toes) and a good listener. I love to talk about my and your life, bitch about a person one of us don't like, vent/rant and just chill out in a non-judgemental space saying whatever comes to mind.

I also had a breakup about 3 months ago. So maybe I'm looking more for a person who could fill in that place for me where we hangout and chill on calls, have nicknames, flirt and tease, rant, be unfiltered, be cringe or cheesy and just share a daily life together. This is obviously if vibe matches.

So yeah if this sounds like something you're into and enjoy then shoot me a DM. Let's see where the wind takes us.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

19f lonely and looking for someone to chat with long term

4 Upvotes

Hello I just go by my username online, I like to stay mostly Anonymous, just a warning! :p

I like to write in my free time, like a lot! I mostly write scripts but sometimes I write prose, I tend to enjoy dialogue more than anything while writing so scripts kind of help me just focus on that.

I play a lot of video games. My favorite games are usually online PvP games like Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, League, Valorant etc. I do enjoy visual novels a good amount though! :3

19M from Nepal | Looking to make friends from around the world

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm 19M from Nepal, and I've been thinking it would be really cool to make some international friends, learn about different cultures, and get to know people from different parts of the world.

A little about me:

  • I'm an IT student interested in programming, AI, and technology.
  • I enjoy gaming, especially Minecraft.
  • I love learning about different countries, cultures, and lifestyles.
  • I'm always open to discovering new music, movies, and random interesting stuff.
  • I enjoy both meaningful conversations and completely random discussions about life.

I'm not looking for anything specific, just genuine friendships with people I can talk to regularly, share experiences with, and maybe build long-term connections.

It doesn't matter where you're from. I'd love to hear about your country, what everyday life is like there, and what you're passionate about.

Feel free to comment or send me a DM! Just introduce yourself and tell me where you're from.

Looking forward to meeting some amazing people around the world!
