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

22 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.

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 😭

Hey, I'm really only looking for platonic friends. Please don't be a creep. I've had a struggle with finding friends this year and it sucks. Most of the time I draw because I'm so lonely and have nobody else to talk to. I hope you can give me a chance! I love to make art, listen to music, talk about music, watch horror movies, and collect crystals and dolls! Let me know if you're interested!

38F - Chronically ill nerd looking for online best friend

8 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.

♡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)

8 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!)

(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.

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

8 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.

40s [F4R] Online - Looking for a consistent, daily chat friend to share random thoughts with

5 Upvotes

Hi there! I'm a bit of an introvert and can be shy at first, but I really open up and connect deeply once a conversation gets going online. I am looking for a genuine, daily chat buddy (male or female) to talk about pretty much whatever comes up.
I’m looking for a judgment-free zone where we can share the highlights of our day, vent about the stressful parts, share random thoughts, or just keep each other company through text. I'd love to skip the repetitive surface small talk and actually get to know a real person who puts equal effort into the conversation.
A little about me: I appreciate a quiet, casual lifestyle and value down-to-earth conversations. I'm a patient and understanding listener, and I'm looking for the same in return. Just to be clear, I am strictly looking for a platonic friendship!
If you're looking for someone to text with consistently for the long haul, send me a message! To make sure you read this, tell me: What is a small thing that brought a smile to your face today?

19f looking for good friends :D

6 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 🫶

39F - For My Fellow Geeky/Nerdy Conversationalists

4 Upvotes

EST. 39F Social-butterfly-introvert here, and it's been too long since I've enjoyed a deep discussion like:

Will we ever have another moment of theatrical greatness like Endgame??

The best Gotham universe? From the game trilogy, of course!

Borderlands 4 is so bad, I'd rather replay 3 again (because the gunplay is amazing).

The ATLA Netflix series is a disgrace, especially to the 🐐 Toph. I mean, the AUDACITY.

Which is the best season of Living Single, The Fresh Prince, Frasier, and Brooklyn 99?

But I'm also eager to listen in on the topics you can rave about for hours. What universe(s) are you obsessed with? I might even get into it so I can rave with you!

Facts about me:

I'm obsessed with watching playthroughs of Little Nightmares 1 & 2 - what a beautiful, minimalist, creepy yet cute game (though Reanimal was highly disappointing).

I've still got my original copies of the Harry Potter series from release. Yup, I've gained THAT much XP.

I love raggin on GoT (the hot garbage that was the show), but my least favorite book series of all time is Twilight- hey, I read it long ago to understand the hype, and ended up throwing out the last book in rage.

I will listen to Kendrick and T.I. one minute, then play the FFXV soundtrack, then lo-fi during work.

Although I pretty much hated season 2 of JJK, I've got season 3 locked and loaded but am hesitant to watch. Not a huge anime fan, but Samurai Champloo is absolute perfection.

My annual movie rewatches:

-Kill Bill vol 1&2

-Jurassic Park

-The Dark Knight Trilogy

-Recently added the John Wick series 

-Marvel gets its own list - inquire within

My current reads: 

-A Little Hatred by Joe Abercrombie 

-The Devil's Chessboard by David Talbot 

-Drinks and Sinkholes by S. Usher Evans

-and more in shipping!

Despite all you've read, I regularly hang out with my local friends and family, travel, have a career and college courses.

But I love geeky hot takes, nerdy controversial opinions, collections (no more Funkos for me 😮‍💨), action or thriller movie recommendations, and more. You stream/upload your gameplay? On a quiet night, I'll tune in.

I'll probably be in the middle of an Overwatch match, tryna keep my teammates alive who are overextending into enemy territory again, so I'll get back to ya after saving em.

To be clear, I am only here for good convo that hopefully develops into friendships, nothing more.

Best regards,

Flex main 💪🏽

49F | Looking for Genuine Friendship ❤️

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone! 😊
I’m a 49-year-old woman looking to meet genuine people and build meaningful friendships. At this stage in my life, I value honesty, kindness, loyalty, and good communication. I believe the best friendships are built on mutual respect, trust, and the ability to be yourself without feeling judged.
I’m looking for someone I can talk to about everyday life, share laughs with, have meaningful conversations with, and check in on each other from time to time. Whether we’re talking about our day, sharing stories, or simply keeping each other company, I appreciate the little things that make a friendship special.
I’m not here for games, drama, or fake connections. I’d rather have a few genuine people in my life than a hundred superficial connections.
If you’re also looking for a real friendship and appreciate honest, thoughtful conversation, feel free to send me a message. 💕 Let’s start with a simple hello and see where a genuine connection takes us!

30F Not to be dramatic but I want to use the words “forlorn and yearning” as descriptors.

4 Upvotes

Look, I’m not saying the world is a dumpster fire, but 👀

I’m looking for a fellow survivor—someone who carries a bit of a quiet, existential ache for genuine connection, but still laughs when they still haven’t picked up that thing they dropped after the 3rd attempt.

I’m searching for a strictly platonic soulmate. A friendship that feels like home, complete with emotional depth, unconditional acceptance, and a judgment-free zone where you can say the weirdest thing on your mind and be met with a nod instead of a restraining order.

My current qualifications for friendship:

Reading: I read books because real life can be a bit much, and fictional characters usually make better choices anyway.

Music: I listen to music that ranges from "soothing emotional balm" to "soundtrack for staring dramatically out a rainy window."

The Chickens: I keep chickens. They are magnificent, tiny feathered dinosaurs who judge my life choices far worse than any human ever could, and caring for them is my favorite excuse to ignore text messages.

What I’m hoping to find in you:
Someone who wants a safe harbor from the relentless noise of the world.

A person who knows that longing for deep connection doesn’t mean we have to take ourselves too seriously. We can discuss the heavy stuff, but we can also laugh about how ridiculous everything is.

Someone who is ready to build a steadfast, loyal friendship where we can both drop our armor.

If your heart is a little tired, your patience for small talk is thoroughly depleted, and you want a friend to share the quiet hours with, send a message. Let’s see if we can make the quiet a little less lonely.

Hi there. I'm 37M from Russia and I'm looking for friends from all over the world. Someone to talk about games/tv and share music or photos from walks with, that kinda stuff. Preferably long-term, but no pressure to keep talking if we don't click.

I'm into nature, video games, music and music production, mma, tv shows, random youtube videos, anime and animated series, photography, gardening and so on. Would love to hear about your hobbies, even if they don't match mine.

Willing to talk to anyone who doesn't immediately ask about my private parts. I'd like to be wined and dined first. 💅🏻

Math PhD student in the US, currently moving to the Chicago area for graduate school. I left all my friends and family behind, and now I’m here with nothing and no one. I’m definitely a more social person, so it’s weird not having anyone around. More than anything, I’m bored and looking for a few online friends to make the transition less lonely.
I’m a massive music person. Jazz, soul, pop, and pretty much anything that makes me stop what I’m doing and listen. I LOVE music and will listen to anything you recommend. I can happily spend hours trading songs or arguing about albums.

Outside of math and music, I’m into international culture, languages, and somehow Sex and the City has become important enough to my life that it belongs in this paragraph. If you have something interesting or a niche interest, please share.

Looking for people who actually enjoy talking, whether it’s about something serious, something completely pointless, or why Carrie was usually so frustrating. Say hi, tell me about your niche interest, and send me a song you think I haven’t heard. Hope you DM me :)

[30TF] Looking for fellow messy, troubled weirdos to befriend

3 Upvotes

If you're someone who is a little bit (a lot is fine too) of a mess and looking for someone similar you've clicked on the right post. I'll be honest, I struggle to relate to people who aren't at least a little bit weird and messy more and more lately. So I'm just saying upfront that if you're just a regular, well adjusted person who's simply bored (like most of the people on reddit seem to be)...hey, feel free to try to message if you want but it's unlikely we'll get along, sorry. Nothing personal at all. Not that the people this is meant to detract will even read the post before blindly messaging anyway but hey, it was worth a try.

Anyway, hi there, as you can probably tell I'm looking for friends. I don't have too many of those for various reasons and I could use one or two more. I'm dealing with all kinds of mental health issues and in many ways I could probably be described as a bit of a girlfailure. I spend most of my life indoors playing videogames or enjoying other nerdy stuff like anime, tabletop games or horror movies. I'm into all kinds of other random things too, benefits of being very ADHD and randomly hyperfocusing on something different every few weeks.

I'm also a deeply emotional person, and I'm hoping to befriend people who are similar in that way as well. Some of it is because of the issues I deal with, some of it is just because I have a lot of empathy, some of it is trauma, some of it is just strongly appreciating things I find beautiful or meaningful. I can be "a little" bitter and jaded at times, but I promise I'm not someone who's constantly negative. Quite the opposite, I can be very silly when I feel comfortable around someone. I just have bad days and some things are very sore subjects. I can also get slightly clingy if I really take a liking to someone but I'm pretty good about staying healthy and having boundaries nowadays. Mostly.

It would be nice to befriend someone who's awake during PDT timezone hours, but if you're not you can still message. It's not that big of a deal, just would be nice to have someone who's around a lot is all.
