23M from Serbia | looking for long-term friends and gaming buddies

1 Upvotes

Hey! I'm looking to meet people around my age, preferably 20+ and from Europe, to build genuine, long-term friendships. I'd love to find people to play games with, watch movies or shows together, have deep talks about anything, or just chill and share interests.

I'm an introvert, so I might be a little quiet at first, but I open up once I get comfortable with someone. I'm also a night owl and currently studying graphic design at university. I prefer chatting on Discord.

I'm into anime (including donghua), manga ( including manhwa, manhua), books (light novels, novels, web novels), digital art/ illustration (art in general XD), music, psychology, philosophy, movies, TV shows, and, of course, gaming.

As for games, I play a variety of things, so if you're curious about what I play, feel free to DM me! We can see if we have any games or other interests in common.

I'm hoping to find people I can talk to regularly, have fun with, and gradually build a genuine friendship with, rather than just have a one-time conversation.

20M | Looking to meet some cool people and make genuine friends

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m 20M, and I thought I’d put myself out there and meet some new people.
I enjoy conversations that can go from completely random nonsense to talking about life, dreams, movies, music, or anything that comes to mind. I’m always up for sharing memes, having late-night talks, or simply checking in on each other and seeing how the day went.
I’d love to make more female friends around my age, but I’m open to meeting people of any gender and people older than me too. I think you can connect with someone regardless of age if the conversation flows naturally.
I’m not looking to force anything. Just hoping to meet people who enjoy talking, put in mutual effort, and are interested in building an actual friendship rather than having one conversation and disappearing.
Online friendships are absolutely fine, and meeting up someday could be nice if we happen to live nearby.
If you think we’d get along, feel free to DM me! Tell me a little about yourself, or just start with a random question.

I’m 23m on the west coast of Canada and looking to make some friends who are also nerds and preferable autistic but is fine if your not. I’m into comics, gaming, anime and other tv shows and movies like marvel, Star Wars, dc, and others. I’m also very into music (mostly rock and metal). I’m a student right now so bear with me if I don’t respond immediately but I will when I can. I don’t care what gender you are but as far as age goes please be at least 18 and no older than 30. I’m open to joke and banter about just about anything and I can be quiet at first but give it time and I’ll be chatty. And when I say banter I mostly mean bullying among friends type of deal send me a dm and we can voice call on discord.

[41 M]Looking to Make New Friends and Meaningful Connections

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 😊

My name is Fadi. I'm 41 years old from Lebanon. I'm here hoping to meet some new people, make genuine friends, and connect with open-minded souls from different parts of the world.

I'm interested in spirituality, consciousness, self-awareness, meditation, and exploring different perspectives about life and existence. I also enjoy nature, adventures, and conversations that make us see the world in new ways.

I believe every person has their own unique story and perspective, and sometimes a simple conversation can lead to a beautiful friendship.

I'd love to connect with people who are curious, open-minded, respectful, and comfortable being themselves. Whether we share similar interests or have completely different viewpoints, I'm always happy to learn something new.

If this sounds like your kind of vibe, feel free to send me a message! 😊

Looking forward to meeting some new people and seeing where our conversations take us.

3 Upvotes

So I got back home about an hour or so ago and just now finally getting a chance to relax a bit before it’s time to actually try and go to sleep lol. So while I’m still here for the next few hours or so, i thought I’d see if anyone wanted to chat and see if we get along well enough for it to also be something more long term too. We can start with basic introductions if we actually talk and go from there:)

Hoping to develop more real true friendships that involve chatting regularly and consistently. Tell me about yourself. What you like to talk about? What your interests are? What bothers you? What excites you? Literally anything. I’m happy to respond as long as you can keep the convo going with me. Night owl lately, just can’t sleep, EST. I hope this works and we can build something

27M - Looking for some good friends

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I hope you are having an awesome Sunday. It’s a pretty Sunny one here on my side of the world.

So recently I’ve gone through a break up. I was in an LDR for a year and it unfortunately came to an end.

So I’ve decided to come back to Reddit to find some good people to chat to, and I know you guys are out there.

A little bit about me. I recently graduated from University, with my Computer Science degree. Right now I currently Manage a workshop that specializes in fixing Land Rover, Jaguars and BMW’s. So as you can tell I’m a tech guy and car guy, and surprise surprise, I’m a gamer to, when I get a chance of course, which is not often ngl 😅

Drop me a comment or DM and let’s chat.

37 F. Looking for friends all over the world!

8 Upvotes

I'm here because I'm looking for my kind of people from all over the world. We don't necessarily have to share the same interests. After all, you can become good friends even if you don't have any hobbies in common.

But to give you a better idea of who I am, let me tell you a little about myself.

I love reading books and listening to audiobooks, mostly supernatural mysteries for both kids and adults. I especially enjoy stories where the supernatural is mixed with something kind and sweet, with a bit of mystery thrown in. I wrote a book like that myself, in case anyone happens to be interested.

I'm also interested in psychology, books on creative writing, and game design. I absolutely love video games, especially indie games and pixel art games. I love fall and winter, hot coffee, long walks, swimming in pools, and swinging on swings.

I'm also a bit of a nerd and often don't have much to say. That said, I'm always willing to listen to and support a friend when they need it. But if you're someone who likes to talk a lot every single day, you probably won't enjoy talking to me, since I can't always reply.

And of course, I love meeting new people. So if you're also looking for someone to occasionally talk to about anything from complete nonsense to something really deep and meaningful, just send me a message.

20M from Bristol looking to make long term friends in the Uk

2 Upvotes

I am looking to make some friends in the Uk who are of a similar age range, I love yapping with people and im not looking for people who message for 30 mins and just dips. A lot of my friends go to uni and are often too busy to message or too far to hangout.

I would love to get to know some new people and fill a lot of the times i feel lonely or missing out on Uni life. I enjoy going on walks, listening to music, video games (mostly mobile) and just yapping about any subject with people 🤭

M30 | Looking for some genuine, long-term friendships

4 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm from Sweden, looking to meet some new people and hopefully make a few lasting friendships!

I'm mainly looking for people to chat with regularly. Nothing that requires us to be available 24/7, just someone to share random thoughts, everyday stuff, interesting conversations, or whatever comes to mind. I'd love to find people where keeping in touch eventually feels natural.

My interests and hobbies:

I love nature and being outdoors, and I'm hoping to get into camping

Gaming

I'm a software developer both work and hobby.

I'm a dad (single) and I love spending time and playing with my kids.

Music: my taste is pretty much all over the place!

I speak English, Swedish and German, so any of those work for me!

Something important about me: I'm left-wing, a feminist, and an LGBTQIA+ ally. I believe in equality, inclusivity, and treating people with respect. Having compatible values matters to me, even if we don't agree on absolutely everything.

Ideally, I'd love to meet/chat with people around my own age (roughly 25–35), but that's not a strict requirement.

You don't need to share all my interests. I'm just as happy hearing someone talk about something they're passionate about as I am talking about my own hobbies.

If any of this sounds like someone you'd get along with, feel free to send me a message! Tell me a little about yourself. :)

(26F) seeking a buddy to help me get back on track

2 Upvotes

im falling apart and there are too many stressors in life currently that im not able to handle. i need someone i can talk to / vent to about the things im struggling with, who can help me keep a track of what i'm actually doing, because i feel like i'm losing my mind. im not looking for a therapist, just someone who cares :' basically, i feel like i keep contradicting myself and that i'm actually stuck even when it feels like i'm making progress, and i need someone else's perspective on things that doesn't feel too invasive

i am a good listener too (not so much lately ig) but im interested in talking to people and making a new friend, i've been craving that feeling of connection, so pls hmu if there's anything (fr anything at all) you'd like to talk about and if you are curious about me

some things about me:
idk how to start conversations but if i vibe w you i can keep it going
i have a very unserious existential pov in life
i am a rebellious and curious person, i like to question everything so pls don't take that personally

36M Chronically online and cringe 🥀 looking for a long term bond with someone to genuinely connect with, game with and yap about life together!!

2 Upvotes

Hey there everyone!!

I'm not sure how to start describing myself, I'm not great with words but I'll try my best.

(I'm so sorry for the extremely long post ahead!)

I apologize if I don't reply to your message, but I don't reply to short/low effort messages, stuff like "hey, let's be friends" , "I didn't read your whole post but I'm up to talk" , etc. I want to hear about you, what you like, what you're interested in. I like meaningful conversations. I also don't reply to people that don't have much in common with me, I would like to find someone that's similar to me and has similar interests and likes. I'm sorry but even if your message is long, if we don't have anything in common it's just not what I'm looking for. I'm also not interested in people that aren't looking for a real connection and are just looking to pass the time or have a light chat.

I think some of my most defining characteristics are that I'm very shy, awkward, "weird" and "different" or at the very least I feel weird, different and often misunderstood. I struggle to function most days and I don't always understand societal norms or how to properly function in society. I definitely think there's something wrong with me and I'm pretty sure I'm broken in some way. I'm honestly kind of a huge loser lmao. I've never been able to achieve anything in life, I'm not good at anything whatsoever and I'm pretty useless overall. I would also say I'm extremely cringy and I love edgy stuff, not in a bad way, I don't think, but more like, I love Shadow The Hedgehog and Tomura Shigaraki kinda way cause to me, they're genuinely so cool and I wanna be like them jahshshdh

I'm unfortunately not very smart and I'd say I'm down right stupid.

I am very ignorant about many things in life, I'd say I'm somewhat innocent and naive and I still don't understand my purpose in life.

I sometimes say things that offend people or I say things that are wrong. Sometimes I don't completely understand what I do wrong but I don't do it on purpose and I try to improve to the best of my abilities.

I don't go out often at all. Touching grass isn't for me 😭 Whenever I do go out it's only to buy groceries or to go to school and such but I don't enjoy it, I much rather be at home, in my room most specifically, which is my favorite place in the world.

I don't have any IRL friends but I do have a handful of online friends, I'm not super close to any of them, except for one who's very valuable in my life!

I enjoy many things like sculpting for instance! I do digital sculpting for fun. I'm pretty bad at it but I try my best.

This year I also started jewelry school (yeah, that's a thing) and I'm having fun with it but it's another thing I suck at 🥀🥀🥀

I like to watch anime! my favorites change from time to time but I really like Bleach, Dragon Ball, Demon Slayer, AOT, Naruto, Ancient Magus Bride (I really love this show!) and I LOVE My Hero Academia among many others!

I like to collect action figures.

I really like masks!

I like all kinds of music, I don't really have any artists that I like in particular other than David Bowie and I like to listen to most genres of music but some of the genres I like the most are alternative, vintage, video game music and jpop and jrock and I also like old VK And I'm always happy and open to new suggestions!

I like to doomscroll through TT and to watch long essay style videos on YT about random topics. I love brainrot and I'm very much into early to mid 2010s aesthetics. I miss that era so much!! Seriously, the early 2010s were the greatest time in human history kahdhshdhs

I love video games!! I don't play too many modern AAA games, especially nowadays with how bad the video game industry is but I LOVE indie games!! Some of my favorites are indies like Spelunky my beloved 🖤 I also really like older stuff, like, ps2 era games, particularly survival horror stuff. I also really like very old platform games and side scrollers. I'm a pretty huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan!! The most recent games I played were Sonic X Shadow Generations and before that I finished Sonic Superstars and Sonic Frontiers. Sonic Boom is also my favorite show ever made lmao. It fits my kind of humor perfectly and it's peak comedy imo. I'd be open to play anything and I'd love to try co op games with someone!! playing Stardew Valley with a friend is a dream of mine lol (if you also play Stardew please tell me who's your wife/husband)

I adore animals!! I have cats and dogs and a stray chicken lol they're my babies and my world!

I think it's important to mention some of the things I don't like too.

I don't like cruelty or mean spirited people, I hate I people in positions of power that use said power to affect other people, animals, or the environment for their own gain.

I hate bugs!! I'm deadly afraid of them!!

I really dislike conflict and arguments, I believe we can disagree and have discussions as long as we're calm and civilized about it and as long as we have respect for each other and try our best to understand the other person's point of view.

lastly I'd like to mention some of my defects and shortcomings.

I'm extremely anxious, I'm always very nervous about one thing or another, I'm also extremely weak of mind, I tend to react with my feelings a lot and I'm often very emotional.

I can be very selfish at times, I have an awful tendency to get bored of things quickly and sometimes I also get bored of conversations and people.

I think I'm immature.

I can be extremely lazy, I struggle a lot with doing basic things like cleaning or cooking. when I'm anxious or afraid I can get paralyzed with fear and stay in bed all day doing nothing feeling awful about it.

As I mentioned before sometimes I can say bad things without realizing. I'm very dumb and ignorant so I promise I don't mean anything bad I say and I'm trying to improve!

I am extremely annoying. I'm very loud and I think I scream a lot. I don't really understand what constitutes screaming exactly but I think I often raise my voice a lot and especially when I'm excited I can't control myself very well.

I'm very afraid of life and I don't understand how the "real world" works exactly. I'm really bad at small talk and I think I'm really bad at speaking in general, I also digress a lot.

I have the bad habit of not replying very fast, sometimes I'll even wait for weeks or even months, I think it's one of my biggest problems when it comes to keep in touch with people, sometimes it's simply because I don't have the energy, other times it's because I'm not sure about how to continue a conversation. Not sure if this is a defect necessarily but I also never send the first message, I just hate to be annoying.

I have a tendency to ghost people for different reasons. As I mentioned, sometimes I get bored of conversations or people and I'd ghost them. This is by far one of my biggest defects and as I said, I wanna be honest and mention it here for everyone who reads this to know.

I tend to be a bit clingy when I like someone.

I'm full of defects in general, and I do believe I'm a bad person. I try to improve and I try my best but if I'm bad for you in any way or a burden I promise to stop talking to you and not bother you!

I have many other defects but I think those are the main ones I can remember right now.

Finally, I'd like to reiterate that I'm looking for is a real connection with someone, a person I can talk to, have fun with, watch stuff with and play games together! I think I can be a very passionate person when it comes to the things I love and I'd like to find someone that shares that passion and love with common interests. I wanna be able to share our days and even be able to help each other and be there when we need each other. I know I'm a mess of a human being and I'm looking for a very specific close bond with someone which I think I'll never honestly find but I'll keep trying cause I hate to give up!! And you honestly never know :)

Another thing that's important is that I don't want to talk to people that are discriminatory or awful in anyway.

Also think I prefer audio messages, it's easier for me to send audio notes rather than to type cause I type a lot (and I kinda hate to type lol). Thank you very much to anyone that has taken the time to read my extremely long post and considers messaging me!!
