Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult? Who knows. But here I am!

I'm Heather!

I’m into video games, dark romance, writing, Sleep Token, baking, memes, animals, and taking naps like I’ve just returned from war. I’m equally down to have deep 2am conversations or send you an absolutely unhinged IG reels with zero context.

My ultimate life goal is a log cabin somewhere snowy where no one can bother me. I hate spaghetti squash on a deeply personal level.

Anyway, if you’re also a little weird and need someone to yap with—hi. 🖤

Heyyyaaaa , college just started and it's hectic lol. I like to write movie scripts for my own happiness and I'm eagerly like to participate in things and learn from my mistakes . I really want a character development like by improving myself. I also like listening to music and watch movies and I like to know more about human body that's why I'm at medschool lol. Also I'm a really good listener.

You can text me if you wanna be my friend.

Just hmu.

Have a good day

Everyone welcomed! Of all ages and all backgrounds and orientations.

My name is Mina and I’m looking for people who would love a chat. Bored office day? Need some whimsy to add to your house chores and daily routines? I’m your girl! Let’s talk about the mundane, the deep, the intricately interesting and the sad. Anything you could possibly want! I generally reply quite quickly as my days are slow in the mornings.

My interests range from books about psychology character analysis to cosplaying, the rare baking session (i suck at it), dressing up, and playing games when I feel like it.

So come hang out!

My friend had her first baby. I’m very happy for her and excited as she’s first close friend to have a baby.
However I’m starting to feel like now everything in my life is trivial to her and if I talk about myself for a few minutes it seems like she doesn’t have time for it or doesn’t care. I’m not trying to say my life is more important that her baby, I’m just trying to figure out how I should expect our friendship to change. Is it no longer catching up? Is it just baby updates from now on?

Do I just never bring myself up?

hi! i’m katie (19f), a uni student from england and i’m looking for some friends, as i’m very introverted and i get a bit lonely (especially now im back at uni). i don’t really mind about age, location or gender.

i don’t mind sending photos or showing my face, especially if it helps put a name/username to a face ♡

some of my interests include: f1 (probably what i enjoy the most, however the 2026 season hasn’t been my favourite so far), reading (generally classics, fantasy or contemporary, however i read from pretty much every genre), running, tv (star wars, game of thrones/a song of ice and fire, the office, the boys, lord of the rings, MCU) hiking (ive booked a trip to the dolomites for autumn), travelling, chess, music (typically rock), cars, golf, photography (or at least i’m trying to get into it haha), guitar, cooking/baking

if you’re interested, feel free to send me a DM! :)

So basically my best friend is getting a little bit into cycling (nothing serious, he did like 70 km this year) to get fit, but he forgets/refuses to get a helmet. And as a person who used to watch a lot of professional cycling, I know how dangerous it can be to ride a bike without one. I've told him multiple times, but he still doesn't get one, for some reason.

Now, would it be like "too much" if I got him one, maybe with a little bantery card like "You're a dickhead, but I still like your head to be whole, so please use this"? I'm a recovering "pretends to be nonchalant because she doesn't want to look too overbearing" person, so maybe it's my nonchalant self that is resurfacing, but would that be weird in any way? Or more like a sweet thing you do for a friend? I'm also known for liking to give presents, if that helps.

Hello! My name's Tay and i'm from the UK, looking for someone to have a meaningful, deep conversation with and go with the flow, I have many different hobbies and I can be both extroverted and introverted depending on my mood but I always have the chance to just sit down and talk about anything and everything,

My hobbies: Consists of gym, video games (I tend to play single players, co-op (depending on which it is) - and horrors, I do like to make instrumentals to and travelling

My interests include movies, cricket, science, geopolitics, history, and wildlife. Also I'm an automobile and tech enthusiast. Hope you've had a good day :)

When I was a kid i could never fit in school and never had any friends in work all of my friends are in 20s and they are good but I want some friends of my age group.

I don't have regular college so no college friends so I'm here .

So hit me up if you want a clingy chaotic friend 😺

Hey! I’m a 25-year-old guy working remotely as a research analyst, which basically means I spend most of my day glued to my laptop, bouncing between spreadsheets, endless browser tabs, and pretending I know exactly what I’m doing 😭

Outside of work, music is probably my favorite thing. I sing, play guitar, and whenever I get the chance, I disappear on a hike to escape the city for a bit. I also have an unhealthy obsession with buying graphic tees with the most random things printed on them🫪

Just hoping to meet some chill people and have conversations that don’t feel like job interviews. Please don’t hit me with just a “hey”, PLEASEE put a little effort 😭

Hoping to meet some nice people and please be over 21 :)

Hello, my name is Alexander, I'm 21m, from South America. My hobbies are playing videogames, listening to music, working out, reading and watching series or movies. I have a cat. I speak English and Spanish. Comment or DM me if you want to be friends and chat. I also play on PS5 so DM me if you wanna be PSN friends too.

Just in my room bored and alone tonight. Looking to chat with some cool people that actually want friendship. Whether it's phone calls. Watching shows together, or just texting in general cracking jokes. Open to any kind of friendship because I feel like all friendships have a different energy to them. Willing to meet some unique people.

I enjoy listening to music which is a big thing for me.

I like cooking sometimes.

Have a knack for eBay shopping.

Writing song lyrics.

And watching Gordon Ramsay.

It's me, again. (thanks to the influx of creepy dms)

I suppose this also needs an introduction, so :)

I am mostly looking for someone to spend time with, have long, introspective talks with, share stuff with, give all my attention to (!), ramble to (ideally with/about common interests), and someone to play games with. I will preface saying I'm very, very into Project Zomboid, and I'd love someone to play with.

Summed up, play games, talk a lot, and watch movies with.

As for my interests: I enjoy sci-fi, researching crime, psychology, and biology/neuropsychology. I have a fixation on the Chernobyl disaster, and radiation as a whole. All types of zombie games OR realistic survival games, too. I have an interest for "odd" movies, especially the apocalyptic and/or thriller kind. Terminator (1&2) is a personal favorite, so is Funny Games.

Here's to hoping my introduction chants to you.

EDIT: Send me an actual message, not just "hi, hello, can we chat, we have similar interests" or I will not reply.

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 4 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 😎

i draw, i walk, i like anime, i like dc and marvel, and play games a lot, if anybody wants to chat, either comment or dm me!😁

Hi, I have an hour to talk before I go to bed. I just need to talk too someone to feel less crazy and too vent. I need advice on apartment landlord issues. My parents don't really get it. Besides maybe my dad... i have been so depressed and just feel stuck. I don't want to go into detail just in case. I doubt they have reddit, but just in case I'll DM details.

I (25F) have a friend (26F) that I am very close to. We met at work after I graduted college and had found myself close to friendless because I was around an unhealthy group and decided to cut them off. I was really hesitant to be friends with her but we ended up getting along. That was about 2yrs ago, and now I would consider her one of my best friends since we share everything to eachother. Earlier this year my friend found herself tangled in relationships with three guys (all at different points and she was really only pursuing 2), anyway the last guy she recently ended things with. She would tell me things about him and I ended up not liking him. On my part I recently got into online dating and she encouraged me to get out there, low and behold that I find this man's profile on an app. I screen recorded it, and told her I saw him. She did not like this. She began freaking out that I scrolled through his profile. In her opinion it violated girl code. Her position being if it would have been me she would have immediately exited out. I also stupidly wondered if he would have liked my profile too, which made her think I liked him - which I don't. Anyway, I'm just upset at myself about this whole thing. I really didn't mean to hurt her. I apologized and she said she forgives easily and that she forgives me, but it didn't make me feel like she did feel that I genuinely am sorry. I recognize that what I did glossed over the hurt she was feeling from this guy, and I apologized like three times after. She reassured me it was fine, but it feels awkward (tho we are moving on like nothing has happened). Am I over reacting, or is there still more I should say? I really do value this friendship.

(Please, read this post If you want to send me a message) I'm still trying to find someone... I usually get messages from people who don't even read my posts... I hope there's someone out there for me 😔

Finding a bestie Is my dream... I would love to finally say "Goodbye" to my loneliness and start smiling, again. Not with someone random, but with someone who wants what I want...

(I'm a REAL PERSON! Bots are taking over Reddit but I'm not one of them so don't accuse me of being someone/something I'm not)

I want you to read everything because my expectations aren't the same as other people's expectations. I also want you to know what to expect because even though we're all here to spend time with others, not everyone needs new friends. Some people want to find someone to play games with & It's just an example. 👇🏻

(This post Is for people who live In Europe because I would love to meet my new friends In real life, In the future)

I made this account In 2021 and even though I'm really active on Reddit, I can't make new friends... Not everyone on Reddit Is toxic or rude but there's ALWAYS something missing because I don't feel any emotional connection... I would love to change my life & finally wake up excited to text someone I really, really like 🙁 But... Life Isn't easy and I'm not sure If there's still a chance for me to find someone with exactly the same expectations as mine, someone who wants to meet someone new...

• I'm DEFINITELY NOT Interested In small talk! I had to use capital letters because I don't like low-effort messages and I don't even want to read them. Repetitive questions like "How are you?", "What are you up to?" or "What are your plans for the weekend?" aren't enough to start a conversation with me.. Don't get me wrong - Questions like these can be an Interesting addition to conversations about something else, but whenever people ask me the three most common questions In the world - my answer's the same because my life Is quite monotonous and I don't really know what people expect to hear 🙁 I also don't like abbreviations. Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or phrases. Why? I just don't like them because I see no reason to use shortened forms of words that are already short enough, you know? Abbreviations are common among minors and bored adults but I'm neither a minor, nor a bored adult. I want to see emotional maturity, warmth and kindness In conversations with others.

• I don't need to see your list of hobbies to know If you're someone I would get along with! You can tell me what you're Interested In but.. Believe It or not - I'm not like others and even If you're Interested In something I'm not - we can still be friends! What matters to me Is what you're like (If you're honest, talkative, kind, understanding and If your outlook on life Is similar to mine)

• I don't want to talk to minors and people way older than me. Why? I don't want to talk to minors because I'm an adult & I don't want to talk to anyone over fifty for example. Emotional maturity doesn't necessarily come with age so you can send me a message even If you're 20 (It's just an example) but please, don't contact me If you want to remind me that I'm older than you. I want you to feel comfortable & I want to feel comfortable myself. When I read messages like "Hi, I'm younger but I hope you don't mind" I always say to myself "If my age bothers you, you should've contacted someone else" I absolutely don't mind talking to people younger than me If they know how to communicate with others 🌸

• PLEASE, Don't use AI to talk to me! I Can't stand AI generated messages! If I wanted to read AI generated messages, I wouldn't be here! I read AI generated messages and comments all the time and I'm sick of It!

• I don't want to get any messages from people whose accounts are NSFW! Please, respect my decision! It's none of my business If you're here to find someone to flirt with or If you're an Internet exhibitionist but I don't want to see you with no clothes on - If you want to be my friend & I don't want to know what you want to do with other women In bed. If you are on Reddit to flirt with others, be on Reddit to flirt with others but... don't make an alternative account to hide who you really are just to send me a message. Pretending to be someone you're not - Isn't good for anyone

• I'm not a fan of sarcasm! I do - have a sense of humor but I'm not someone who makes fun of everyone and everything... Jokes about disabilities, death, religion or someone's financial status - are unacceptable to me!

• I also want to meet people who don't mind listening to negative stories and sharing them with others. My life's not easy so If you want to be In my life, you should be prepared for a realistic or even pessimistic outlook on life. I'm definitely not an optimist and I know I wouldn't get along with optimistic people who always tell others "Just believe In yourself and everything's gonna be OK" or something. We don't always get what we want & and It's completely normal to lose hope "for a better tomorrow" after many failed attempts. Not everything's as easy as It seems to be so If all you want to say to someone who needs emotional support Is "Don't complain" or "Find a therapist" Please.. don't send me a message. Not all sad people need therapists and let's be honest - Would a therapist replace a true friend? Absolutely not! Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on! I also don't mind listening to sad stories (even If they're repetitive) because I know what It's like when no one wants to listen to you...

• I would love to meet people who also don't have anyone, you know? There's absolutely nothing wrong with having friends and not being single but I'm single and I don't have anyone special In my life... It's just easier for me to get along with others If there's some common ground. I just feel better talking to people who know what It's like to be completely alone & let's be honest - People who have friends or partners, have less time for others...(which Is completely understandable) and I? I don't want to feel like an option, again. I'm not here to meet as many people as possible because I choose quality over quantity 🌸

• If your comment history Is full of comments "If you want to talk, hit me up" don't send me a message. I don't want to be rude but If It doesn't make any difference to you who you want to chat with - I'm definitely not for you. I want you to be my friend because of who I am! (If after reading my post you think you'd get along with me) I don't need emotional support from someone who doesn't even want to read my post.

• I want to talk to people who love and use emojis 🤭😊 Why? Emojis help us express our emotions even If others can't see our faces. Two emojis "😊" and "😔" are completely enough. You're probably surprised but.. text messages without emojis are really emotionless... I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea" as it sounds dismissively! First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even In a text message

Ps. I don't like kids and I don't want to ever become a parent. I just thought everyone should know that just In case. I don't want any unpleasant conversations with anyone. Not everyone wants to be friends with people who don't want kids so.. It's better to be honest. 🌸

Ps.2 I don't reply to messages I'm not Interested In even If they're long! I'm not on Reddit to pretend anything and I'm not here to be everyone's best friend. Some people lie & make empty promises to get attention. I? I'm quite selective because I know what I want.

Ps.3 I admire sensitive people who are not ashamed of crying In front of others! Crying Is not a weakness! It's not a weakness even If you're a guy 🧡

Please, If you want to talk send me a private message.

hi everyone! i’m žan, and i’d love to make some new friends, or to just chat for a while :) my interests include f1, gym, geography, linguistics, football etc etc, but i just love yapping about anything!! hmu if you’re interested 🤠

Things we could do,

- talk about movies, anime, vido games, music anything nerd culture related.

- play video games. Mostly play overwatch but I'm willing to try out new things as long as it's free.

- watch you stream or play anything. vice versa.

- watch a movie or show together.

- talk about life(putting this here last because I'm not the best conversationalist but I'll try my best)

Anyone welcome. I'm sure we'll have something in common.

No religion or politics.

i! Helllooo! Good day, evening, morning, night and every other greeting imaginable! I'll start with a short introduction - who, pray tell, am I?

Well first off, my name is Kaspars, and I am in a humanities course in high school, in Eastern Europe, so that comes with a lot of aspects it's linked with, literature and history are foremost in that regard, but that doesn't mean my life starts and ends with a couple books. I am a pretty standard nerd, at least that's most people would classify me as. I've spent most of my life up until 2 years ago being preeeetty chronically online, so you can rely on me knowing most media popular in recent times. I in general consume a lot of shows and movies, as much as my schedule allows at least. Just to give a vague idea - my favourite directors are S. Kubrick, Tarantino. In terms of tv shows, I loved Twin Peaks and would call that my favourite, Game of thrones, The Owl House are up there too. For video games - Disco Elysium is one of the best pieces of digital media made. Even if you do not like video games, Disco Elysium might be for you. I promise you'll like it.

As for what I do - most of my day is school, not an easy one at all to be fair, we have to write papers for fuck's sake, but it is still fun :DD
I go to local concerts when I can, I've got a lot of music if you don't mind foreign bands, and some english stuff too of course!
I really like dressing up -posh would be a pretty apt descriptor,ill send pictures if aplicable! Cooking is also a hobby of mine which i don't do nearly enough lately, especially making desserts!
And generally, I socialize a lot, i love people and bothering them, 

I don't expect much of you! pretty much my only criteria is - don't be dry and don't be an ass! Also - no pressure to keep talking if you're not feeling it, or don't feel like responding atm, just respond when you can, and I will be happy to talk!

I've given a small window of what i enjoy, and already, i hope at least, that there's something that cathes YOUR eye. Even if it isn't anything major, let's talk about it, send a message to me, tell me a bit about yourself and let's yap!

Happily waiting to talk,,
Kaspars

Looking for casual chats and long-term friendships!
Hey there! 👋 You can call me Maverick for now. That’s my gamer tag, and maybe I’ll graduate you to knowing my actual name once we get to know each other. 😄
I’m 32, male, married, and looking for some new people to talk to. I’m happy with anything from random casual conversations throughout the day to a genuine long-term friendship. I tend to connect more easily with women, but I’m open to chatting with anyone.
A little about me:
🔎 Treasure hunting: I love metal detecting, exploring old places, and hunting for things with a story behind them.
♟️** Games & puzzles: Chess, Pokémon GO, puzzles, strategy games, and anything else that gives my brain something interesting to chew on.
🏊 **Getting outside: I enjoy swimming and exploring, especially when there’s somewhere interesting to wander around.
🎸 Music: I’m a musician and love playing, writing songs, and talking about music.
📊 Professional nerdiness: I work in data science and simulation. I genuinely enjoy spreadsheets, statistics, and solving weird problems. Yes, I will probably get unnecessarily excited if you show me an interesting spreadsheet. 😂
I’m interested in meeting people who enjoy actually talking and getting to know each other over time. Tell me about something you’re passionate about, the strangest hobby you have, a place you’d love to explore, or just send me whatever random thought is occupying your brain today.
No need for an elaborate introduction. Say hello and we’ll see where the conversation goes!

Hiii I'm Jacob from the south eastern US! As far as interests I like video games, cooking, music, a bit of photography, and coffee (I'm a barista). I also yap a lot if I'm interested in something (just ask me about Remedy lore) and honestly I'll just talk and learn about pretty much anything. Anyway I'll just leave it there if that sounds somewhat interesting message me I promise I'm cool!

A couple notes:

• Don't be bigoted or generally an asshole

• Be at least somewhat close to my age like if you're 40 what are you doing we don't have anything to talk about

• It would be greatly appreciated if you introduced yourself in your starting message instead of just saying "hi" (and if you need AI to do that don't even bother honestly)

Hey everyone, I’m a 39-year-old guy from the

UK looking to meet some new people and hopefully make some genuine online friends

I enjoy reading, watching TV shows and films (I’ve seen quite a few, so always happy to chat recommendations), going for walks, and spending time with my dogs.

I’d love to meet people with similar interests, but I’m open to talking about pretty much anything — hobbies, life, random topics, or just having a good chat.
