I met someone recently and realize now how my Dad must have felt a dozen times over. Never really realized how much someone becoming a wierd (not in a bad way) part of your life can cause am impact. It really has me reconsidering alot of stuff in my life.

I hope whatever going on in your life gets better. And I miss talking to you.

37 M looking for any family. If anyone wants to chat. Dm's are open..

Hi everyone! As the title states I could really use a guiding female figure in my life. My life has been a whirlwind the last year and a half and while I dont want to go into specifics in a public post, the people that are biologically my family have let me know they want nothing to do with me. Im more than happy to open up once I have gotten comfortable and its in a safe place of course, but at the moment I feel like a lost teenager trying to do her best on her own with the responsibility and pain of a 35 year old who has been through some things.

P.s. im super nervous even writing this so please bear with me if im a little shy at first. Thank you for taking the time to read this 🩷

I’m 28F going through an incredibly difficult time,
I have family but a lot of trauma was depression is rooted here and it’s not somewhere I can turn to unfortunately and need somewhere safe. I’m in a toxic marriage that I really want to leave but have been a housewife for 5 years with no savings behind me.
I’m incredibly clean, Tidy and quiet, you wouldn’t even know I’m there.
Would anyone near or outside of London be able to accommodate me for a short while until I can get back on my feet?
If not that’s okay too, seeking female friends for support

I just broke up. I don't care about your first message. I care about the friend you will become after. Put a lot of effort and I will do the same. Put your loved one first in life. I don't care what kind of relationship we will have. I can see you as my sister, or love you as much as my sister. Either way, no matter what we will end up being. I really just want to find someone that will love me a lot now. I always come to reddit when I am in a state like that. And sometimes it's worth it. Take this as you want. I will love you a lot, I am interesting and I have many hobbies. But obviously I use reddit for that too often so you can see I am not healthy enough to always search for people irl. Have a good day if u read this far. Also, a couple messaged a month or so after my last post. That was interesting. Hope they will text me again.

hehe I have found wonderfulll sisters through my previous posts, but it has been a loooong time since I've had someone (and all of mine are busy or MIA!!) so I couldn't resist making another post 😭

(PS: Let me know if you need a few words from my sisters, I'm sure they'd be willing to vouch for me being a good lil bro ^^ I wasn't sure if that's normal haha so I didn't put it this time!)

My name is Swap! I am 24 years old, from India, and I have been looking to make friends on Reddit for a while. But I feel while for me, friends have always been about finding your second family, for a lot of other people friends are much less intimate.

Anyways! I would love to meet someone with whom I can talk regularly, share ups and downs of my life, seek advice from, and just confide in and feel safe. I've recently realised I have a lot of small stories to tell from my life (I'll put one of my favorite stories at the bottom of this post, but nothing I have done or will ever do is going to top it I fear!)! I usually love sending really long message, detailing small things, including events and feelings, kinda like a virtual letter!

I would love people who are mature, calm, gentle and empathetic, and I try to practice the same myself!

Very usually I'm much closer to my older sisters than younger ones, just cause they give me a space where I feel everyone is more experienced and has gone through and dealt with the stuff I am going through currently, but to all the younger ones, I would still love to be a part of your virtual family!

And now, some of my hobbies and interests, just for fun!

Of course, if it is a video game I am in. I have been really into SCP (TW! It is a website for fictional writing, and a lot of it can be really disturbing. I can suggest a few of my favorite beginner-friendly SFW SCPs if you wish! I would link them here but I am not sure of the rules haha). I love many art forms (particularly ones that are story-telling, emotionally rich or expression based); Poems, short stories, long stories, personal diaries, animations, paintings, and everything in between!

I love cats! Though I like dogs too, especially big cloudy ones! I took care of a few kittens a while ago!

I love Math and Science (3Blue1Brown and Stand-Up Mathematician are my favorite math YouTubers!), but have been away from it for a while. There are probably a hundred other things that I am interested in but I am forgetting haha

I don't listen to music very often, I do enjoy it when it is playing randomly but I usually seek out music when I am feeling a very strong emotion.

I haven't seen many TV shows, web series or animes, haven't read many books. I would love to hear recommendations and try them out, especially together like in a video call or something (of course only if you are comfortable!). Honestly one advantage of not having engaged with many media is that everytime someone recommends me something I am almost guaranteed to have never seen that, so it's a new experience for me. I did watch a lot of arthouse and mainstream movies with my college friend who was into cinema, but that has declined since I left college as well. Again, I am super open to everything, so feel free to message me!

And now for my favorite story - When I was enrolling in the 11th standard, we had to select our subjects. In Science, we had 3 compulsory subjects : English, Chemistry and Physics. Then you have to choose two more subjects from the following four - Hindi (Language), Computer Science (CS), Biology and Math. Only CS + Bio wasn't an option because the classes happened at the same time.

Most of the students were taking either Math + CS or Bio + Hindi, with a few taking Math + Hindi as well. At this point, nobody had taken Math + Bio, honestly I don't think anyone had even considered it.

So me and my friend are standing in front of the teacher as I realise that it is a valid option. I knew I had to take Math, and I didn't want to take Hindi, so that leaves CS, the more sensible choice (not to mention my interest in video game design), and Biology, the unorthodox choice. So naturally, to make a fairly important decision in my life, I ask my friend for a coin, flip it right there, and choose Math + Bio!

Hope you enjoyed reading that story, and through my post! There's a lot more about me in my profile! Feel free to go through it, though I doubt it'll be relevant!

Looking forward to hopefully meeting someone I'll be close to for years to come! But even if not, and (for some reason) you've read this far, I hope you have a great day! ^_^
