Good morning from the Midwest USA!

I’m home from my work at the zoo (I’m not a keeper but I have animal pictures!) for the next couple of days and working to get the house picked up. Seeing as I’m home all day, could use a great conversation throughout!

I’m married with an infant daughter! I love being a dad! Also have two sweet doodle dogs, as well!

As I mention I work at a zoo. I’m in guest experiences and services, which means I get paid to be friendly to our visitors. I love it. I’m a people-person. I can stroke up a conversation with anyone willing to chat, and I’m hoping that’s you!

I’m into nerdy things Kim D&D, DCC, and anything Tolkien. I’m 420 friendly (medical patient). And I dig the birds of the world.

No MAGA! I think we need more women and scientists/engineers in power. Not bigots.

I hope to hear from you! Please reach out and let me know what your favorite zoo animal is!

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.

Good morning! Ive had some luck in the past with these posts so I figured id throw another one out there. My day is shaping up to be slow so maybe making a new friend or two will help!

Im 30, from the state of Ohio, and i have a wide variety of hobbies and interests. I try and keep it balanced between my nerdy guilty pleasures like DnD and Magic the Gathering and my more active hobbies like trail running and hiking. I enjoy going to concerts and definitely miss warped tour. I listen to a pretty wide variety of music but i definitely love some emo/punk/metal. I usually love spending time outdoors and really love gardening and plants. At home I have a vegetable garden and in my office at work i have 5 different variety of pothos, a ficus, and a jade plant! Im not half bad at propagating plants myself and have been splitting my pothos lately to share with people.

As for work im in Medical Administration with a focus on nuclear medicine and radiology. Im also an Air Force veteran and was in the command support field. I have a soft spot for healthcare workers and veterans considering I work for the VA. I love taking care of people and my job let's me take care of the people which enables them to take better care of our patients.

If you think we could get along id love to hear from you! Shoot me a message and bonus points if you work in healthcare or are a vet as well!

Hey everyone! :)
I’m 21 years old, male, and currently living in Canada. I’m looking for a genuine friendship with someone I can talk to every day, even if it’s just to say good morning or good night. i don’t mind if you’re male or female, but I’d prefer someone living in Canada or the USA. I’m just looking for a good friend to talk to, share little moments with, and build a meaningful connection. I recently went through a pretty rough breakup, and it’s honestly been really painful. I’m trying to move forward, meet new people, make new memories, and hopefully leave that difficult chapter behind.
A little about me: I love soccer, sports, movies, and TV series. I’m also open to talking about pretty much anything, learning new things, and getting to know people from different backgrounds.i am not looking for anything complicated, just a genuine friendship where we can check in on each other, have random conversations, laugh together, and be there for one another. If you’re also looking for a real friendship and someone to talk to regularly, feel free to DM me! :)

Hi All! I'm a 31 stay at home parent with lots of side gigs and no time for in person stuff! I’m also in grad school! Would love to find someone to chat with throughout the day!

I’m tired of small talk. Let’s talk about the he things that you talk about with you best friend at 2am. That conversation you wish you could have with your person but are too afraid it’ll backfire let’s have it. I want more than “Hi”
Message me with a question or something unique about yourself and we will see where the conversation goes!

hii! im lina, 19, from russia. looking for friends to chat with. love drawing, learning about the history of different countries, and reading books - im even trying to write my own. i study shipbuilding, and always happy to talk about interesting topics. english isnt my first language, so i’d be really glad to practice with someone haha. feel free to message me!

As the title says, I’m looking to make online friends due to rarely seeing or speaking with my friends in-person due to scheduling conflicts. I feel somewhat isolated (I guess that’s the right word) on account of this. Some things about me:

Fair disclaimers: I am in MDT. I am not available daily sometimes. I am diagnosed as high-functioning autistic. This account may appear blank or new, because it is, this is because for now I’d like to keep this separate from my other activities.

I attend college full-time currently. That consumes a lot of my time and energy.

Hobbies/interests: I take photos, read, watch TV, and listen to some music in the way of my main hobbies. I repair electronics sometimes, mainly cameras I get ahold of.

Be courteous, respectful, and tolerant, please. I’d like you to respect my privacy and boundaries, please.

Feel free to reach out and introduce yourself. Thank you for reading this.

Hey! I'm a 36-year-old guy who enjoys connecting with people from all walks of life. Whether you're looking for a casual chat, a new friend, or just someone to share interests with, feel free to reach out.

I have a few unusual hobbies, a small collection of pets, and a love for music and tattoos. I'm always happy to talk about hobbies, life, random interests, or whatever happens to come up.

If that sounds interesting, send me a message!

Hi im Richard from the UK, i live out in the middle of nowhere so can be hard finding people to befriend especially around my age as everyone either busy with their families or just lost contact.

I used to play a lot of rugby when i was younger up to 23 but stopped due to not wanting a serious injury effecting work. Also into weightlifting with an aim of competing next year in my first body building show!

I work in construction so always building something or outside in all weathers either at work or at home renovating my garden.

Drop me a message if you want to get to know each other a bit more 👍🏻

Hey internet people! I am hoping to find a few new friends. I don’t need to constantly talk/text all day, but I would like someone to send a chat to when I get a lull in my day. Someone who can keep a convo going. We can talk about random facts (my personal favorite) we can talk about your dreams, whatever comes to mind!

I like to be silly, uplifting, but can also be very real with ya too.

I like whimsy, magical, I enjoy to read, I work a lot and enjoy my job. I’ve got a cute little family and am really just looking for friends to talk to during the slow parts of the day!

If you read this far thanks ☺️ Now tell me, if you woke up on a planet with two suns and a HUGE moon, what would you call the planet and what kind of plant/wild life would you see there?
