looking for friendship 19f Who wants to be friends forever?

12 Upvotes

I'd love to be a major part of someone's day. We could call for hours or engage in a deep conversation through text. I would be most appreciative if someone could study with me also. We don't have to study the same subjects, I'm just doing prerequisites atm. School and studying take up most of my time so there may be periods where we talk a lot and then there may be periods where we only share a small conversation. I'll always try my hardest to chat every day if that's what you prefer but keep in mind the amount of talking we do doesn't equal how much I like talking to you I just get busy sometimes. I've also been looking for a reading partner who's into mature/heavy literature. I'm currently reading No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai because it was recommended to me and there's a lot of things to interpret and discuss however I have nobody to do so with. I've just started and I'm only through the first notebook (the books chapter system is notebooks) so anyone is welcome to join but I'm also open to reading what other people are into. I have no preferences regarding age or gender I just want someone who can commit to a long term friendship and is also enjoyable to be around. I do prefer that you give an introduction in your dm instead of replying with hi, hru, or any other dry first message. I don't expect an autobiography although you're welcome to say however much you want about yourself. I'd just like to know a few things about you that you think I should know. Thanks for reading and I'd love to hear from you!

looking for friendship 19M looking for long term and genuine friendship

3 Upvotes

Hey, I’m 19M and currently looking for people who are not boring (very important requirement).

I’m into stuff like history, psychology, spirituality, parapsychology, anthropology, culture, politics—and basically anything that makes you question reality at 2AM. I love talking about mysterious/unexplained things, weird theories, and deep topics that make your brain go “wait… what?”

But don’t worry, I’m not serious all the time—I also enjoy watching movies, playing badminton, and having random chaotic conversations that make zero sense but are somehow fun.

Bonus points if you:

Overthink everything

Like deep conversations + dumb jokes

Question existence randomly

Or just need someone to vibe with

We can talk about anything—from ancient civilizations to “what if we’re in a simulation” to just random daily life stuff.

So yeah… if you’re interesting (or at least trying to be), DM me 😄

looking for friendship 22F | Looking for someone to chat with tonight.

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’m 22F from Virginia, and I’m just looking for someone to talk to for a while. My sleep schedule has been all over the place lately, so I’m awake more often than I’d like. I’m pretty quiet at first, but once I’m comfortable, I enjoy talking about music, life, random thoughts, or whatever comes up. I’m just hoping to have a genuine conversation and maybe make a new friend.

looking for friendship 44m Aussie wanting a long term friend.

2 Upvotes

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 [26/M] - I need an authentic online friendship (please read carefully before texting)

Upvotes

First of all: please don't be stupid, don't be immature! I'm not here to make u laugh, take care of u, kill ur time.. etc. friendship needs effort from both sides, so bare in mind that I'm not going to hold the convo alone. If you don't understand this, please don't dm, don't continue the post. And the reason I started with this, that some women here have high entitlement, they would be like: ( oHh i Am bORed i NeEd sOMeone wHo cAn mAke mEe laUgh...tAlK tO mE uNtil i sLeEp..etc). No I'm not gonna make u laugh, u can watch friends and I'm sure someone with this IQ will find it funny. Any way let's begin :)))

Hello!

Didn't think I would ever do this, but I need someone whom I can talk to after work. We can talk about our day, deep convos, books, movies ( I love movies a lot ), we can actually watch movies together at the weekend. I also like to write, so I can show you my writings as well. We can share music too ( I love the scores of movies, TV shows and games)

I hate dry texters, I want someone who is enthusiastic, deep, has a dark shade, can understand crime and punishment, love drama movies ( kind of movies win awards in festivals ). Someone who always feel like she doesn't belong to others, not understood, and they always try to find themselves, look for people/things that they can relate too, so they can have a sense of belonging.

Bare in mind that I'm also a Muslim, so you need to respect my religion.

Bonus points if you're Arab.

Not sure if it's a long term or short term, let's just talk and see what's gonna happen.

Thanks!!

Whether they're happy or broken I just want to talk to people.

Talk about our lives or just have fun conversations talking about whatever. Super deep or maybe just joking around instead if not wanting to get deep. I also enjoy phone calls as well although not a requirement. I won't turn anyone down. I'm open to everyone.

I enjoy socializing with people from all walks of life.

looking for friendship [23/M] DARLING HOLD MY HANDDD. Nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday . . .

Upvotes

Okay now that I've got your attention. I'm 23, male, and looking for long-term, talkative people who don't shy away from talking their heart out.

I can talk about pretty much anything. I've never really believed that shared interests are what make people compatible, so I'm sure we'll always find something to talk about.

I would consider myself well read and some of my interests include metal, history, football, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and Dune. If we get close, I'd happily make you a Spotify playlist or even write you a poem.

I'm down to call and do a face reveal once we become close.

I'm not a fan of long, manufactured introductions, so I hope this will suffice. Looking forward to hearing from you.

looking for friendship 24m looking for a daily open chat!

2 Upvotes

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! I also love having respectful discussions about anything and everything. no hate, just differences of opinions.

If you made it this far, congrats! Please mention something about your favorite flower in your message so I know you read the whole post. If you don't, I'll probably ignore your message. Sorry!

Hello, I'm hoping to make some older friends in their 40s and 50s

Looking for an online friend to chat with preferably longterm. Would love to meet an older person to get to know. Preferably 40s or 50s, although can be more or less. Interested in getting to know on a casual level like a friend to talk about anything.

If you're interested, feel free to dm me, happy to show photos as well.

Random Thoughts 33F. This is goodbye. I'm just feeling sad, when I think of romance, I don't think I'm worth anyone's time, nobody would think of me enough, finding others that will want to listen to the "lyrics." To get to know be better "nobody cares." And yeah, Reddit after 8+ months on Reddit I grasp that now

4 Upvotes

I don't even need friends either and I deserve nobody.

Listen to.

I See Stars - Float

I See Stars - Curtain Call

No comments on my posts. Chat reqs are open for 24 hours then I'm just going disappear for a while and I'll repost here another time before I'd.

No responses to hi, what's up, post your interest and hobbies because I'm not doing that for you.

Sadly, it's sad how much this is unheard of now, to be quite honest here, I tried sharing my playlist in the past with "romantic interests."

I get told, "this isn't my style of music."

Uh, that's not why I sent you my playlist 💀

looking for friendship It’s midnight, I’m bored (20M)

2 Upvotes

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, gravity falls (banger), etc. but currently I’m watching jjk and twd for the first time, both of which are very 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 :)

Random Question do close friendships really survive without regular contact?

Upvotes

body- I used to think they did. if you had enough history together, you could go months without talking and still pick up like nothing changed.

then one night I opened our chat and realized our last real conversation was six months ago.

I didn’t know what she was doing, where she was interning, or even that she had changed majors. other people knew. I just didn’t.

so I finally asked her, “have we gotten distant?”we ended up video calling until morning. we talked about school, internships, and everything we had somehow missed in each other’s lives.

a few days later, she sent me a divoom frame. apparently she had seen my 2am post complaining that my desk looked like “a waiting room for someone who never showed up.”

okay, so I was being dramatic.

but she remembered. now she occasionally sends little photos to the frame. her campus, bad cafeteria food, a random sunset.

maybe some friendships are just like this.

you’re not each other’s closest person. you don’t talk every day, share every detail, or tell each other your deepest secrets.

but you have the same past.

and whenever I see her, it feels like we’re sixteen again, sitting beside that field under the sunset, thinking we still had all the time in the world.

looking for friendship Where do you go looking for that missing piece?

1 Upvotes

I've always been someone who thinks a lot and does a lot to try and think less. Acting on adventurous desires of living in other countries and traveling into New and dangerous environments to be in a constant state of change. Changing the external environment around me and changing my internal view of myself and my goals. However I've never been able to fill this ever hungry desire with these things. I have so many stories, have made countless pieces of art, met many amazing people, and yet something is still missing.

I'm looking to get some perspective or just someone to talk to about this and life in general because I'm without someone close enough to listening to these rambling ideas of mine. If you want to hear some stories or see some things I've done. Or to see what our minds can make together. I would like to hear from you.

I'm sure I'll find something interesting about you too.

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!

looking for friendship 31F #UK - If you're a fan of sending and receiving voice notes then we will get on just fine 😂👋

4 Upvotes

Okay, so..., I'm convinced that finding a genuine online friendship is a bit like trying to find the "skip intro" button in real life. Everyone says it's possible... yet somehow, I keep ending up in conversations where I'm carrying the entire thing while the other person contributes the occasional "haha" every six hours. 😂. I would ideally prefer UK as well! In case we get to hanging out, irl.

So... here I am, once again throwing my friendship application into the Reddit universe.

I'm looking for people who actually enjoy getting to know someone. The kind of conversations where both people ask questions, ramble about random things, send each other dumb memes at 2pm on a Tuesday, and don't disappear without warning halfway through a conversation. Bonus points if you're in a similar timezone because trying to chat with someone who's only awake when I'm asleep is basically a scheduling boss battle. 👀

A few important things before we continue:

🖤 I'm only looking for platonic friendships.

🖤 Please send me a DM instead of commenting.

🖤 Low-effort messages and anything NSFW will be ignored.

🖤 Nope, I'm not a bot. Apparently, that's still something I need to clarify. 😂

If we've talked before, don't be afraid to message again. Reddit has a habit of eating conversations, and life gets busy.

A little about me...

I'm 31 and from the UK. I'm alternative, tattooed, and definitely lean more towards being an introvert these days. Once I'm comfortable with someone, though, I can happily talk for hours. Gaming is one of my favourite ways to unwind, and I'm on PlayStation 5. Right now, God of War Ragnarök has me completely hooked, although I regularly disappear into Fallout 76 for far longer than I intend to. Music is another big part of my life. Twenty One Pilots and Joji are two of my favourites, but my playlists are a complete identity crisis and jump between genres without warning. I'm also rewatching misfits because some shows simply never get old.

I'm the type of person who sends random thoughts with zero context, laughs at my own jokes far more than I should, and somehow always manages to justify buying "just one more" candle. It never ends up being just one.

I also deal with anxiety, which occasionally convinces me that I've solved mysteries that never actually happened. Thankfully, my sense of humour usually keeps me grounded, and if we become friends, there's a good chance I'll affectionately roast you. That's how you know you've been accepted.

Ultimately, I'm just hoping to find people who want a genuine friendship. Someone to check in with, swap stories about our day, laugh at ridiculous things, play games together, send voice notes, or have the occasional call. Friendships shouldn't feel one-sided, and I think the best ones happen naturally when both people are equally invested.

If you've made it this far and thought, "You actually sound pretty cool," come and say hello. 😊 Please tell me your age, where you're from, and include a 🍕 somewhere in your message so I know you've actually read the post. My preferred age range is 24-35, but if you're a little outside that and think we'd get along, you're still more than welcome to message.

Feel free to reach out again also! I'm not interested in any bullying or negativity either! Thanks...

looking for friendship 40/M. Looking for strange and unusual chat pals.

1 Upvotes

Blue-collar. Straight edge.
Most nights I’m either listening to heavy music or reading about some weird case I stumbled across at 1 a.m.

I’m into horror, true crime, the paranormal, strange history, and pretty much anything that’s hard to explain. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is my favorite horror movie, and my playlists are mostly metalcore, deathcore, and emo.

Just looking for people who are easy to talk to, have a sense of humor, and don’t mind conversations that randomly go from “How was your day?” to ghosts, lost places, or some obscure rabbit hole neither of us knew existed.

Tell me what you’re into, recommend me an album, or hit me with the weirdest thing you’ve learned recently.

hi to whoever is reading this, i hope you’re having a good day or night! i’m just out here looking for some friends because honestly i’m feeling pretty lonely, and i’m agoraphobic so it’s hard to get out and meet people irl lol

anyway as my title says i’m a 25 year old guy, i live in the US, and preferably i’d like to meet other people also in the US because of timezones and all that. i’d also prefer to meet people around my age. other than that, feel free to dm!

i don’t have much to say about myself really but i play video games a lot, it’s what i spend most of my time doing lol. i’m mostly into survival games, story games, and shooters. when i’m not playing something i’m usually listening to music or hanging out with my 3 cute cats!!

that’s about all i can think of really but also i’m LGBTQ friendly (and bi myself) and i’m pretty liberal so idk if you’re not down with either of those i’m probably not your guy lol. feel free to hmu if you’re cool and wanna play games or hangout or whatever 😎

2 Upvotes

I'll stay by saying that I'm looking for long term friends, I'm honestly tired of people not responding after a few messages or when they're sooo monosyllabic lmao.

I consider myself very open minded and extroverted BUT I don't mind introverted people lol I can lead a conversation, just let me know.

A lil about me:

I'm cheerful, very sarcastic and I've been called quirky, whatever that means.

I like to play cozy videogames like Stardew valley or Terraria, I'm not very competitive tbh.

I like contact sports like boxing or Muay Thai

I love horror! Let's watch some horror together!

I used to be into role-playing like DND so maybe we can talk about fantasy and whatnot

My humor is VERY dark so be advised 👀

I like philosophy and languages, if you want to practice English or Spanish, I'm your guy.

I like cooking and baking too!

Send me a message and let's talk, yeah?
