36F, quiet woman looking for a real friend after divorce

15 Upvotes

It's been almost a year and I've been telling everyone I'm fine because I mostly am. But being fine alone is different than having a person to text. I love birdwatching, historical romance novels, and my sourdough starter. Would love a woman in her 30s-40s.

MALE

Please message me only if you want to stay in touch and won't ghost. I've been depressed for 2 years and started antidepressants 10 days ago. All my friends are in other universities and other states, so I'm all alone. Sometimes I call them, but I don't want to annoy them by calling back to back. I'm preparing for the med school entrance exam to become a doctor so yeah lots of books on my head. I've gone through self-harm, OCD and other things, so I'm looking for someone like-minded.
I LOVE TWEEEEENNNNYYY ONEEEE PILOOOOOTSSSSSSS (music group basically).
And my gay brothers I am straight 😭

38F - Chronically ill nerd looking for online best friend

7 Upvotes

I miss having a best friend. Even if it's "just online" I've had that kind of connection where we chat throughout the day, send each other songs and cute animal pics, make playlists, share our creative work, have inside jokes, give each other encouragement and support.

Most people don't like long messages, don't want to talk to someone different like me, or don't want have a friendship mostly via text. I've often been filler for people who go back to their real lives, but this is my real life.

If you happen to be someone who gels with this, feel free to reach out. I will mention that I'm looking for strictly platonic. I'm very chronically ill, neurodivergent, and disabled as well as queer and left-leaning. I live with a partner who is also disabled. I'm homebound and online friends mean a lot to me.

Not a fan of people who are weird to me about my health or try to fix me or tell me to be more positive. I'm very sick and it is what it is. I want a friend who accepts me and whatever I can offer, which is music, memes, deep convos, and support. I appreciate mutual effort and people who help keep the convo going.

A little more about me: I'm a writer, music nerd, love all kinds of TV, and I collect plushies. I just got a puppy. I've been through a lot but I try to be empathetic, socially aware, and kind as much as I can while still advocating for myself and my communities.

Please don't reach out if you're super busy, don't ask questions or put in effort, or if you're uncomfortable with someone who isn't able to be positive and optimistic.

I think I have a lot to offer the right friend. I hope I find them.

36 F looking for some new friends 🙂

36 year old parent from Ireland 🇮🇪 looking to chat to new people in and around my age and timezone.

Ill watch pretty much anything, apart from anime, thats not something I've ever been able to get into. I do love a good true crime documentary, probably what I watch a good bit of. Also like comedy. Shows and movies.

Easy going and live a quiet life so I haven't a heap of intersting I can tell you about myself.

Reach out with a bit about you if you'd like to chat.

24F Are you in need of someone you can randomly call and talk about your day and absolutely everything else with? Cuz I am! 🌸

6 Upvotes

Hiyaaa!

Basically, I live by myself and I’m allergic to silence 😂 Which is probably a sign that I should get some roommates, but UGH, I like my own space 🤦🏼‍♀️ THE DILEMMA 😂

Anyhow, if you relate even just a little bit, come on over and let’s keep each other company!

A little about me: I’m 24 and currently studying to become a daycare teacher.

My hobbies include:

Pretty much anything creative
Cooking
Gaming 🎮
Napping (it’s a skill, okay?)
Building LEGO
Reading 📚
Planning vacations (now, I know that’s not technically a hobby, but the amount of time I spend doing it says otherwise 😂)

And much more!

I’m looking for those friendships where we can randomly call each other, talk about our days, share stupid jokes, play games together or just keep each other company while doing absolutely nothing.

Now, VERY important question: What’s one of your guilty pleasures? 👀

Also, I’m definitely more of a “just call me” person than a “let’s text back and forth all day” person 😂 Nothing wrong with texting, I guess I’m just kinda old-fashioned and love hearing people’s voices and all the little things you can’t get through text.

19f looking for good friends :D

• Upvotes

Hiiiii guys, I realized all my friendships irl are pretty one sided. I would love to get some new people who are comfortable with mutual venting. I am going through a lot in my life right now and the right mix of distraction and venting would be greatly appreciated.

Some of my interests are anime (favs are nana, attack on titan, jjba, and one piece), I LOOOOOOOVE MONSTER HIGH, I am a super big fan of chiikawa, I love to listen to music (sublime, charli xcx, korn, sabrina carpenter, zara larson, limp bizkit, kittie, hole, and more), I love art, I play minecraft, fortnite, and roblox. I am into alternative fashion as well, some other tv shows I’m into are satc, gilmore girls, and abbott elementary.

I just want to make a meaningful relationship with someone who is also feeling a little lonely. I have a lot of love in my heart with no one to give it to <3 This is my first time doing this so I am not exactly sure how to go about this lol. I am open to anything 🫶

25+ gamers, creatives, and fellow weirdos?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm new to running a Discord server, but I wanted to make a chill place for gamers and creatives who want platonic friends to hangout with.

I'd especially love to find other LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent folks who want to play games, talk about creative projects or hyperfixations, share OCs, maybe set up roleplay sessions, or just yap about whatever

I'm hoping for a low-pressure community, preferably for people 25+, where you can be a little weird too

I'm also totally open to suggestions for the server and such. Anyway, message me your discord if that sounds like your vibe or if you just want to be friends <3

I personally play a lot of Darktide and DeadByDaylight, BG3 is one of my all time favorites, but I often buy random games just to play with friends too. I would love more people to nerd out with.

Hey 😉

3 Upvotes

Looking for someone to chat with 😊

Hey everyone! I'm 32 and looking to meet some new people and find someone to chat with. I've been feeling a bit lonely lately, so it would be nice to have someone to talk to, share random thoughts with, laugh together, or just chat about life.

A little bit about me:

🕷️ I'm really into keeping, breeding, and selling arachnids. It's one of my biggest passions.

🛹 I enjoy skateboarding.

🤘 I'm a big fan of deathcore and metalcore.

🏔️ I absolutely love hiking in the mountains and spending time in nature.

You don't have to share all my interests. I actually enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and learning about their hobbies and passions.

I'm just looking for genuine conversations without any pressure. If you'd like to chat, feel free to send me a DM. Let's see where the conversation goes! 🤘

♡19F Aussie girl, would love some friends - I currently don't have any friends with my interests, and i would like to change that! ♡ (no age or gender preference)

6 Upvotes

Hiii! ♡

I'm a 19F Aussie girl studying at uni to become a teacher. I come from a big family, and I'd love to make some new friends. I currently don't have any friends with my interests, and i would like to change that! I love anime: JJK, Death Note, NANA, KNY, Apothecary Diaries, Tokyo Ghoul, Kotaro Lives Alone.... - but i am about to start watching AOT, Blue lock, Kamisama Kiss, Ouran High School Host Club, and more (would love recommendations!). I love Suguru Geto (jjk), and since it was one of the first anime I watched during COVID, it has a special place in my heart. I collect figures, love to do art (painting, drawing, anything hands-on), cook and bake. I have been getting into reading lately- mostly Kafka, Dostoevsky, Dazai, Shakespeare, and Camus- and I'm also a big music girly: The smiths, Radiohead, Morrissey, Mitski, Lana, ye, Alex G, and so on. I play Roblox whenever i can, so if anyone wants a friend to play horror games or just something silly, i would love that! I get along with all kinds of people, so if anything here interests you, it never hurts to say hi! I also make edits during my free time (most anime and some of my favourite artists), but yeah! I'm not picking on gender or age, If we cilck we click!

(I don't currently have Discord, but i am willing to make one! i'm shy, but im not weird about showing my face, calling, or so on!)

23F, adult life is lonelier than anyone told me it would be

3 Upvotes

Graduated, got the job, got the apartment, and somehow forgot to get any friends in the process. I like cooking elaborate meals for one, going to the gym at odd hours, and rewatching the same three sitcoms. Looking for people to build actual friendships with, not just surface level stuff.

(20/F) I just need a friend to rant to

9 Upvotes

​

I (20F) have had a really shitty experience with a college project and a friend, and I honestly just need someone to talk to about it.

It's a long story involving a group project, misunderstandings, and things said by someone I considered my best friend. I'm hurt, frustrated, and honestly questioning whether I'm being unreasonable about the whole thing.

I'm not looking for people to blindly take my side or tell me I'm right about everything. I just need a friend who'll listen to me rant, let me get everything off my chest, and maybe help me make sense of it all.

If anyone's up for listening to a stranger's messy college drama, please DM me. I'd really appreciate having someone to talk to right now.

I've tried everything they say to try to make friends as an adult. Nothing sticks. I'm starting to think I'm the problem. I love pottery, indie films, and cooking elaborate meals. Want someone who'll actually keep texting past week two.
