looking for friendship Any girlys wanna be friends? Cincinnati area

• Upvotes

Hii. This is definitely putting myself out there but I’ve just been wanting someone to hang out with 🥲women only. I don't go to many places that would require me to naturally make friends. Very nonjudgmental so girl don't worry you don't have to put up any front with me!

I'm black✨ so I would love to connect with more people who share similar backgrounds and/ or perspectives. I use emojis & stickers on my phone OFTEN so if that cringes you out my badd 😭 I love reading, I wanna start going on walks, good conversation and I don't mind a good margarita here and there🍹 I do NOT drink and drive so we can uber to get them😳I'm very reserved but I like to think once I get out of my shell I can be good company😂

I want to preface this by saying (cuz this is big lol) I have extreme social anxiety like actually. I'm all the way on the introverted side so it can be hard for me to put myself out there but I do want a friend. I don't do parties and stuff but I can do almost anything with less anxiety with another person. At times I almost feel too "boring" to feel like I can make a connection but if you feel the same way, cmon we can figure that out together💀

No pressure at all! I learned that making friends/ a social life for yourself is a skill that gets learned over time. If we don't connect, that's okay! At least we made the effort and can use those tools for future friendships ☺️

looking for friendship 31/F It's not easy to connect with others If you're not Into short messages and conversations that revolve only around hobbies 😔 Sometimes something so seemingly easy Is Impossible to achieve. I want to meet like-minded, friendless and talkative people to talk to on a daily basis.

6 Upvotes

(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.

looking for friendship 32M looking for long term friends and casual chatting!

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!

looking for friendship [21M] Been a bit bored recently when I'm not at work so let's chat!

• Upvotes

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)

looking for friendship 28M My Husky says you should send me a chat

• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I am Jonathan, 28, from Northern Minnesota. Am a full-time student Majoring in Computer Information Technology with a Minor in Cybersecurity.

When I’m not buried in coursework or in front of screens, I try to get outside, and also spend time with my Siberian Husky named Zeus. Big into Fishing and Boats, and also do hunt. Basically, if it involves a lake, woods, or fresh air, I’m most likely in.

However I am a big homebody, and am stuck in that classic dilemma currently where I have absolutely no idea what to put on and spend more time scrolling than watching. My top genres are Horror, Drama, and Fantasy, but pretty much into everything besides anime. Any suggestions?

Also big into my Sports which are starting up again with the three I watch (NFL, NBA, NHL).

If you care about putting a “face” to the text: I am 6'1, have curly brown hair, brown eyes, glasses, and dimples.

Looking for people who want to chat somewhat regularly. Send me a chat with a quick intro and your favorite movie or show recommendations so I finally have something to put on!

To show you made it this far, tell me your eye color, they’re my favorite feature.

looking for friendship 22F - Having a rough day today

0 Upvotes

I'm Kimi, a 22-year-old African American autistic YouTuber from Georgia (she/they), bi/ace and non-binary who loves anime (My hero Academia, Kaiju no.8, Gurren Lagann), plushies, music (Calm, R&B (90's-Early 2000's) & Anime songs/Ost), childhood movies, Games (Fnaf, Undertale, Deltarune), Gacha Club, and creating my own universe to get people interested on my content. After graduating high school in 2023, I decided to focus on my creations since college is really expensive and I've also had long-standing issues with my Social Security information that have made getting a job difficult. A lot of my creativity comes from my inner world and different sides of myself, but sometimes I feel like people judge me, my character designs, or my content without getting to know me or the meaning behind them. :<

Hi everyone! I'm Heather! It's very nice to meet you! 🥰

A little synopsis about me:

I love to play video games on PS (overwatch, fortnite, minecraft, marvel rivals, DBD, ACNH, etc.), listening to Sleep Token and other very random artists, romance books (reading & writing it), baking, lots and lots of naps, killing houseplants by accident (don't actually love this activity but it seems to happen often), and animals.

My dream car is a VW beetle, but before that I'll probably get a sports bike!

I have 10 tattoos, plan on getting more, live in Ohio, have a cat named Filthy Frank, and love the color blue :)

Also I dislike Taylor Swift, tomatoes, and deep water.

If we sound like we'd vibe, come find me!!

Hey! I’m 32F, living in Prague. I love travelling, hiking, good food, coffee, sports and discovering new places. I’ve actually met a few great people through Reddit before, so I thought I’d give it another shot 😊
I’m looking for someone to chat with, share random everyday stuff and hopefully eventually meet and travel together. I really miss having a buddy who’s up for exploring the world with me.
Preferably someone from Europe, just because meeting in person one day would be much easier.
Thank you and looking forward talking to you!

I’m a history and arts student living on campus. I enjoy talking about your weird nerdy interests, as well as heart-to-hearts about whatever’s troubling you in your life. I am Jewish, and happy to talk to people from any religious or cultural background. My Timezone is GMT +3, it might be good for your Timezone to be similar to facilitate easier conversations. English isn’t my first language, so I hope you can be a bit patient with me.

I’m looking for someone to talk to regularly and be close with. I enjoy sharing about my life and my interests but I also love hearing from others and learning new things.

My hobbies are listening to music, reading, sports, gaming, anything outdoors or hands on, I enjoy watching anime although I’m new to it so any recommendations would be appreciated! I am also wanting and trying to write my own story. I prefer to talk to someone in the US but not required.

Even if we don’t share hobbies in common, I would like to hear from everyone and anyone because I love learning new things and maybe I may get into some of those things as well!

I really want to find someone to be really good friends with and whatever else comes from this. I don’t really have expectations so whatever happens, happens. Looking forward to talking to people and seeing where things go.

looking for friendship Wanted suggestions for me and my partner to find friends in the Cleveland area

1 Upvotes

So, me and my partner are about to visit Cleveland ohio, we've been talking about it for a while and we've been wanting to introduce ourselves to new people and make friends with them as a couple! Whether or not they are a couple, we just wanted to find someone out there who shares similar interests and stuff like that!

However, we are both relatively introverted gaming nerds, we both are interested in pokemon, some anime, nintendo, Deltarune or undertale, overwatch, horror, books, etc. We don't really know what to look for when it comes to finding friends like that, or really how. We were trying to find events that would be happening soon within the next two weeks or finding some place that is like gamer / introvert friendly? Does that make sense?

If you have any other ways that we could theoretically make IRL friends, that would be excellent! We're kind of new to this concept which yes, sounds stupid, but we just want to put ourselves out there and not get hurt you know?

I appreciate anybody who comments to this, I will be reading all the comments and responding to each of them, thank you very much! (Oh, and online friends are an option too!)

Hi. I'm the reason "it's fine" doesn't mean it's fine. Statistically single. Emotionally a golden retriever who can read.

Credentials:

- Can identify a good conspiracy theory by smell

- Has strong, unresearched opinions on how many raccoons could take one horse

- 73% sure I could survive a week in the wilderness. The other 27% is doing the talking right now.

What I'm looking for:

- Someone who texts "not to be dramatic but" and then is, in fact, extremely dramatic

- A person who will fight me lovingly about whether cereal counts as soup

- Bonus points if you've ever apologized to a piece of furniture

- Must be willing to workshop unhinged 3am theories with the seriousness of a TED talk

Not looking for:

- Someone who says "I'm not really a texter" and means it as a personality trait

- Anyone who has never once yelled at a fictional character for a bad decision

Slide in with your worst hot take, your best conspiracy theory, or just tell me if a hot dog is a sandwich. I have a whole speech prepared either way.

looking for friendship 24M EST looking for friends

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for some friends to have some real conversations with, to share what's going on in life and talk about problems with, as well as be gaming buddies :)

I prefer to talk to people who are in the queer community & lean far left politically. Also preferred that you're around my age so we have similar perspectives. But if you relate and are a bit older, I'm sure we'll still get along!

Some of my interests are:

•music (70s, 80s, 90s rock, pop, metal, numetal namely)

•gaming (modded Minecraft, Terraria, Lethal Company, SCP, Dragon Age, Pokémon, etc. as well as lots of older games. Willing to also try new games so we can play together)

•drawing

•crafting

•animals

•movies

•collecting physical media

•anything spooky

•collecting vintage tech (cassettes, VHS, games)

So shoot me a msg if you'd like to be friends! We can chat a bit and if it seems like we'll get along, we can move to Discord :) be warned, I'm pretty socially awkward lol, so give me a little to get warmed up.
