I’d love to find an older brother or father figure. I’m not very close with my dad, and I only have a younger brother. I just wish I had an older male figure in my life who I could talk to openly about anything

I’m a huge reader and spend a lot of my free time with books. My favorite genres are fantasy, thrillers, novels
I also into video games, although I don't have much time for them. Lately, I’ve been super into true crime podcasts!

I would like to change my flair to a higher age bracket. I am no longer WITHIN the age bracket listed as my flair. I am older. I would like to change the flair to compensate. I tried to change it on my own, but I can't seem to figure out how.

I’m Audhd and have a tbi and ptsd, so this makes it hard to be close to people in person. I basically live on my computer and phone. I want a family that accepts me and my faults. I grew up with strict parents (catholic and military) and a brother that beat me daily. So I want a family I can show all the affection I didn’t get. I do get along better with females, most of my friends growing up and in the military were female. I hope you’re out there family.

Ever been in a party where you were surrounded by people but still felt alone?

Ever been a people pleaser but had your kindness being taken advantage of other people numerous times?

Always doing chores around home, without being asked?

Saamee!

I shall bring the snacks ( I loooovee cooking , especially garlic bread and shakshuka), but don't worry, because of my tidiness obsession I would also do the dishes lol.

Cooks, cleans, great with kids, works with an international non profit, has a restaurant, keeps fit and most of all, respectful and polite to all.

I know how to make excellent tea, paint nails ( my mom needs help with her toes, as she can’t bend ) and be a great empathetic listener for you after a long day of work ( don’t worry , I won’t solve your problems. Just gonna listen and say that sucks, while stroking your hair )

I enjoy long walks , playing tennis , petting every pet dog I see and watching true crime documentaries while making homemade garlic bread

I was the school topper in school, don’t drink or smoke, got a growing library of old books and help university entrepreneurs with their startups during the weekends.

Usually, I am the quiet guy but can vibe for hours with deep talks about every subject from philosophy to the best way to make mashed potatoes.

I am currently reading books starting from the ancient era and moving my way downward through history ( so I can interconnect biology, astronomy, psychology and aunty gossip all in the same topic )

Grew up in the Middle East, had a quarter life crises to find out what my path in life was ( oh I did the cliche stuff like meditating on mountains ), found my dream career but life is unfulfilling if you can’t share it with someone else.

I enjoy learning and expanding my cultural tastes : I watch Iranian movies, listen to French electronic music, yelling Arabic curse words every time I step on a LEGO piece and teaching german words to every German shepherd dog I meet.

Looking for someone who is also introverted-ish but can chit chat for hours with the right person, be silly together but still being very focused and wildly supportive of our careers and potential startup ideas 

I love being high energy and excited like a golden retriever but also happy to have quiet reading nights where we both read on the couch and huddled under the same blanket.

Hello,

I hesitated a long time before writing. I don't even know where to start.

This post will be long, so if you don't feel like reading everything or don't have time, too, go directly to the end "in short"

I'm a girl, still living with my parents because life is hard. Our relationship has never been really good.

I grew up in a physically and psychologically violent family and have been bullied at school, too. Leading to an early depression.

In high school, I chose to go to boarding school to study something specific. It finally wasn't what I was searching for, so I wanted to stop, but my parents forced me to stay, and I chose another specific subject to study.

I have older brothers, so when I reached university, I decided to come back home because my parents weren't good at saving money and because I wanted to study abroad during and after university. Unfortunately, covid came, and I've never been able to study abroad while I was at university. My project was really important to me so I decided to take a break after uni for both my health condition and my project reasons. My family perfectly knew about that project and the cost and never strongly disagreed at that time. But they put conditions over conditions leading to a lot of stress for me and to work on project while I was supposed to fully concentrate on the one that was the most important. I recently reached the first goal and previous conditions before being able to reach my dream goal, and they destroyed everything refusing to sponsor me. One of my brothers threatened about kicking me out, too. This led me to a lot of stress again while I already had a lot. I started searching for months for an alternate way to get sponsors because I can't trust my family, and they can use it to manipulate me but haven't been able to find any.

I feel blocked between walls with no future. They'll put the blame on me while I did everything I was able to. I'm too depressed to work, but I can't stay either. I tried to find work for two years, but they threatened me about kicking me out for blocking their home exchange. I do hours of housework (especially laundry and cleaning), my parents also use my money that was for my project without asking me because I was too scared of my dad to block the access and knowing it will be blocked at my 25 scares too. They want me to get out but put me down every time I try to find a solution...

---------- In Short ----------

• I grew up in a physically and psychologically violent family and, I'll prefer to be honest, I am depressed because of that

• They destroyed what was the project of my life, and I feel completely blocked by them

• I don't know how to navigate through life anymore

I'm not searching for money or sponsor or physical help.

I'm searching for someone who can help me navigate through life, take decisions, and bring back the self-confidence and independence they took away if possible.

Important thing I forgot to say : I tend to be hypersensitive, so I also need people who are able to talk with kindness and empathy.

I know you're not a psychologist or psychiatrist, and I'm not expecting that from you either. I, unfortunately, haven't found the ones made for me yet, but I take my mental health really seriously.

I'm really just searching for a parent figure or mentor.

Thank you for reading

My post will probably disappear in 2 days or even 24 hours, "just in cas".

Looking for female family members

Hi, my name is Charles. I'm 38, in Minnesota, and I'm hoping to find a mom, dad, or older siblings who would love to have me as their son or little brother.

I had a horrific childhood. I was severely neglected, starved, and physically abused by my birth parents. After entering foster care, my Arizona family was torn apart by my foster father's sexual abuse, and I lost another home. My next family adopted me but subjected me to physical, emotional, and religious abuse, denied my disabilities, and sent me to another household where I was beaten, threatened, and forced to work. At 15, they abandoned me at reform schools, where the abuse continued through brutal punishments, forced labor, and violent restraints. I was never welcomed home.

Since I was five or six, I've fantasized about someone discovering how badly I'd been hurt, comforting me, and taking me into a family who would finally love and care for me. I still need that. I want people who are happy to have me, who'll hug me, include me, take me places, share their lives with me, and give me the patience and practical support I need.

I'm autistic, have cerebral palsy, and have difficulties with some everyday things. I'm currently homeless and would love to live with my new family. I receive disability income and can contribute financially, and I have a cat who comes with me. But more than anything, I want a happy life with people who genuinely love me.

Despite everything, I've kept my curiosity, humor, and enthusiasm for life. I love making people laugh, learning, inventing things, art, science, technology, Nintendo, PlayStation, animals, and good food. I've spent much of my life creating stories, artwork, and music, and I'm writing a multimedia science-fiction novel about childhood trauma and healing. I love new experiences, little parties, and having fun with people!

I'm open to adoption by heart or legal adoption, and I'd love to get to know anyone who might want to become family.

I'm a 41m more traditional guy I joined the military in my 20s went to war and came back. And started my career. I work on old cars for fun. Smoke meats, go camping. And im one of those types that can figure out how to fix anything. I have one little brother but no sisters

I didn't have a great parent relationship growing up My parents were divorced. My mom was unfortunately an addict and my dad worked 24 hour shifts and wasnt really emotionally there to the point I had to move out at 17. I was Raised in the kids should be seen and not heard generation. I was almost conditioned to think having kids was like a curse.

That was untill I had kids. And that whole you'll understand when you have your own moment happened. I understand. I LOVE being Dad. My kids are everything. Every time I get to provide them the love and attention I wish I had it's the most fulfilling thing. Out of all the cool titles I've earned in my life, Dad is the one I'm most proud of. And one thing I've not questioned if I'm good at.

And so I felt bad for all those out there that didn't have a dad or like me had one that just wasn't present. Then I found this sub. So I wanted to make a post and say hi and invite anyone who wanted a good father/ big brother maybe I can be that role model and advice giver to someone and save them the pain and difficulty I went through trying to teach it to myself.

So if you want, Feel free to dm me or comment on here!

All my life I've been someone's mentor, protector, guardian and listener. Right now I'm void of that... so I think I should help someone else grow, learn, support them and advice them. It'd fill my soul and hopefully yours too.

I love reading, watching movies, shows, listening to music and also learning a lot. Just recently started singing lessons.

Please tell me what you like to do on weekends as a start to the conversation to make sure you read this text.

Thanks and I hope you have a good weekend!

Hey, my name is Alan - thank you for taking the time to read my note. I'm a 38-year-old guy in Colorado hoping to find genuine connections and people who feel a little more like family.

Preferably same age or older.

I haven't had much of a family perspective to turn to when it comes to life's questions, experiences, or everyday things. I'm searching for people I can learn from, share experiences, and build meaningful connections.

I enjoy art, hiking, rockhounding, baking, and finding beauty in ordinary moments. I also make little wooden figurines (maybe I'll mail one) and leave them in public places as gifts for strangers.

I'm hoping to find kind people who value meaningful conversations, mutual support, and being there for one another. ❤️

Happily Meowied

I live in Canada and I’m a 22F. I’m a creative person who loves the arts, dark comedy movies, and retro music. I hope to work in the film industry and/or social work related fields.

My whole life I’ve only known men irl that have hurt their families in some way. I have a huge distrust. I don’t have a father or grandfather in my life anymore. Online I’ve gotten close to men but they always end up creepy or abandon me after I tell them about my life (and I don’t blame them because it’s pretty messy). It would be so great to know someone who could give me a new perspective.

36 M Midwest USA. I am not really seeking any particular type of person other than basically someone who's a good conversationalist and is kind. Those might be the two most important things. I came across this sub and was thinking about my tumultuous relationship with my own family and how it would be nice to have some found family. I'm kind of a quirky artsy type. Not very career successful but I've worked in childcare a lot and have a lot of passions in life. I love art, art history, music, collecting records and cds, dance music / rave history, pop culture, watching sports, reading, poetry, painting, films, video games, more. I like talking about all kinds of stuff and I'm friendly and non judgmental and understanding, or at least I'd like to think so. Hit me up if you'd like to talk :)

Hey everyone!
I’m 25M, gay, and from India.
I’ve had a somewhat complicated journey growing up, with difficult family dynamics, bullying, loneliness, and friendships that didn’t always turn out well.
I became quite independent early on, at least emotionally. I’ve been working for a few years now, but somewhere along the way, life became more about surviving, working, and getting through each day than actually living.
One thing I’ve always missed is having a dependable male presence in my life. Someone I can share ordinary things with, have meaningful conversations with, laugh with, seek advice from, and genuinely feel close to.
I’m at a point where I’m trying to make some changes in my life, and building meaningful relationships is one of them.
I’d love to connect with men who might be open to building a father-son or older brother-younger brother kind of bond. Something that develops naturally, with mutual care, trust, consistency, and a little humour along the way.
Not expecting an instant connection or someone to have all the answers. Just hoping to find a bond that feels like family over time.
If this resonates with you, feel free to reach out. :)

Anyways I'm looking forward to meeting you!! Byeeeeee.

hey everyone.

Im from Germany but I grew up bilingually with English and German. I love cycling and im a good student but I dislike school still. I have only a few friends.

My parents are very distant with me so it would be nice to have someone like a parent talk with me. I also suffer from hypnophobia, the fear of sleeping which ruins my life a bit and makes me feel lonely.

If you want to chat with me, comment please with age and gender and I can dm you. 🙂

Hey there, folks, anyone wants to talk for a while? If so, message me, I am your guy! As for the sort of relationship I look forward to in here, I don't have any rigid expectations. You just message me and tell me what you want -- I just want to stave off the feeling of being alone and of living a life that is the same every day, passing through my fingers.

About me: I’ve spent most of my life indoors, but I’m trying to go out more: shopping, sightseeing, wanna see the aerospace museum eventually. I study a lot of subjects without focusing on any one of them; one is librarianship, which is more interesting than it sounds. In my free time I read, browse fragrances and buy samples, and watch videos. Lately I’ve been watching music videos of historical songs. I’m somewhat tall and slim, with hazel-green eyes and long curly brown hair. I’m Brazilian, so if you’re curious about my country or learning Portuguese, I’m your guy. I’ve also started basic haircare (it’s amazing how much a little effort changes things, it’s very curly now) and gotten into fragrances. Dior Poison is my current darling; my kings are Orto Parisi Megamare (beautiful thing, you're missing out if you don't know it, unless calone smells like eggs to you, which sadly happens for some) and Zoologist Squid, though I can’t afford them. I also enjoy Xerjoff Erba Pura/Gold. Currently, I am extremely angry -- the horrible company supposed to deliver my megamare clone just fucked up and it's probably going to be sent back. Bummer.

Something random? I just, after a day of suffering from my headache and what seems to be the beginnings of a fever, managed to put together a little blinking circuit. I am quite happy.

Always wanted to have a mom, any family really, but I always felt having a mom would have helped me a lot. I had a great grandmother but I didn’t get to see her much and she’s not around anymore.
Maybe someone out there needs a son. I hope so. I hope you see this, maybe you need a son. 30M

i really have seen all kinds of posts in these threads of this platform but now I'm writing it and the truth is I'm a little embarrassed but I also have no other option

i have seen people looking for parents online tutors mentors it happens to me that I can't have children because of health issues but I always wish I had a daughter to take care of who I could advise and educate her so that she doesn't feel lonely and neglected I read publications of many teenagers and my soul hurts because of the treatment of some parents or in some cases because of lack of education the truth I don't know why I wrote it only for someone to read it or for the specific search

if this is misspelled sorry English is not my native language
