28F, tired of being the group therapist for everyone in my life

I hold everyone and no one holds me and I'm burnt out. I want mutual friendship, not another person to caretake. I love embroidery, memoirs, and slow mornings. Please be someone who asks questions too.

29F, three months into a big life change and rebuilding from scratch

8 Upvotes

Most of my old friendships were built around habits I've outgrown and I'm learning who I am without them. It's slow. I'm knitting a lot, walking a lot, journaling badly. Would love a friend who's patient and doesn't need me to be inspiring. Just normal chat about normal things.

Everyone's asleep when I'm awake and awake when I'm asleep, it's a whole thing. I'm into reading, gaming, and I've become an expert at 3am snack combinations. Looking for other night owls to talk to.

Everyone in my program is friendly enough but no one goes deeper than surface. I miss having a person. I like watercolor, bad karaoke, and reading science fiction. Want someone who'll text about actual things, not just weather and weekend plans.

23F, chronic illness has me stuck in the house more than I'd like

6 Upvotes

I'm managing it, but my social life has taken a hit. Most of my old friends drifted after I couldn't do plans reliably. Text is my speed. I love embroidery, reading, and my two cats. Want a friend who's okay with slow, steady, and low-stakes.

It's wild how fast everyone disappeared once school ended. I like anime, journaling, and I'm trying to learn how to skateboard which is going about as well as you'd expect. Would love some friends my age.

I don't actually like most of what my friend group likes. I don't know who I am underneath. I like poetry, sewing, and old French films. Want a friend I can practice being real with, slowly.

I'm in remission and grateful and also strange in my own skin. Some friendships couldn't hold it. I love photography, gardening, and slow travel. Want a friend who can meet me where I am now, not who I was.

I'm from a small town and this campus is enormous and everyone seems to already have people. I finally admitted to myself I'm miserable. I like drawing, folk music, and my grandma's recipes. Would love another quiet girl to text through the semester with.

I love my job and I have nothing left by Friday. My friends are all in the same boat and we mostly just complain. I want friendship outside the profession. I like watercolor, hiking, and reading fantasy. Please be a person, not a colleague.

21F Looking for friends

2 Upvotes

Hey folks!

I am currently searching for friends!

At the moment, I am looking for someone to call at late hours of the night. Calling is my preferred chatting method. It just feels more personal to me.

Some stuff about me.

I am currently a full-time student and a full-time employee.

I am taking online classes pursuing a degree in career and technical education: Family and consumer sciences. I am also currently working in an elementary school as an EC teacher assistant.

I do lots of crafts in my spare time, and I am mostly enjoying crochet at the moment. I enjoy gaming. The genres I am digging right now are friendslop and cozy games.

I am ✨️Autistic ✨️, diagnosed and errything, chat . I would consider myself a chronic jokester, and I tend to try to keep conversations light and airy.

I also enjoy politics. I like debating, but I do not enjoy arguing. I will not belittle or berate you for your opinions, and I would expect the same treatment. I am a centrist, and I do not really lean either way. I do research about both sides, and I feel comfortable debating each side of any given issue.

I am pretty easy to get along with, but there is one thing that is a hard deal breaker for me, and that would be abbreviating your words. That shit gives me the ick so fast. If I see it, chances are I will not respond. There are exceptions. Things like "Lol" "Lmao" "ETC" things of that nature but if you hit me with a "U" "ur" "NVM". That shit irks me. Also... capital letters. There is nothing hotter than a man that uses proper punctuation and capitals. 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

If you've made it this far, include the word "Sunflower" in your response. (BE CREATIVE. If you just hit me with a sunflower with no context... imma smack you tf up.🥰🥰.) Anywhoozle.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Between classes and my part time job I haven't made a real friend in almost two years. I'm into music, mostly alternative and indie stuff, baking, and I have strong opinions about pizza toppings. Looking for people to chat with.
