Hey everyone :)

Lately, I've been thinking about how difficult it is to find people you genuinely connect with.

You can be busy with work, have things going on in life, talk to people every day, and still feel like something is missing.

I miss the kind of friendship where you don't have to think twice before texting someone. Where conversations happen naturally, silence isn't awkward, and you can be completely yourself without worrying about being judged.

Someone to share random thoughts with, laugh at the stupidest things, have deep conversations about life, exchange memes, or just make spontaneous plans when both of you need a break from the usual routine.

I'm not expecting an instant best friend or some movie-like connection. I'd just like to meet a few genuine people and see where things go naturally.

I believe the best friendships aren't necessarily built on having the same interests. Sometimes, they're built on curiosity, mutual respect, humour, and simply enjoying each other's company.

So, here's a question for anyone who feels the same way:

What's one thing you wish you had someone to do or talk about with, but haven't really found that person yet?

I'd love to hear your answers. And if this resonates with you, feel free to say hi. Maybe a random conversation is all it takes to get something good started. :)

I have had no friends my entire life and am 29. I have nothing to do all day because every job rejects me. I have sent thousands of applications over the past three years. I’ve also tried to make friends with hundreds of people (tens of thousands including online) and am always rejected.

I especially never find anyone who is depressed and lonely like me. And at the least, serious and somber. It is valid to have that as a personality type and want to talk about serious and somber things in a serious and somber tone. Why is it so impossible for me even when I see people like this with friends? They reject me too.

I had friends but we don't talk anymore, they are busy in their lives and have new friends ig I am happy for them. Idk why I am even posting this. I kinda hate me for being this miserable. Is anyone in a similar situation as me? How can I make friends online ?

Hey everyone! 😊
So, here I am, putting myself out there on Reddit because apparently making friends as an adult is a whole different level of difficult. 😂
I’m 35F, and I’m at a point in my life where I’d really love to make some genuine connections. Not just the typical “hey, how are you?” conversations that disappear after three messages, but actual friendships.
A little about me:
I’m a pretty down-to-earth person. I can be shy at first, but once I’m comfortable, I love joking around, being sarcastic, laughing at ridiculous things, and having conversations about absolutely everything.
I’m a huge fan of anime, fantasy, romance, and getting completely invested in fictional characters like they’re real people. 😂 I also love deep conversations about life, human behavior, relationships, and all those random thoughts that keep you awake at 2 AM.
I’ve been through a lot in life, and it’s taught me to appreciate kindness, honesty, loyalty, and people who are genuinely themselves. I’m working on becoming the best version of myself, and part of that means stepping outside my comfort zone and meeting new people.
I’m not looking for perfection. We all have our baggage, our weird little habits, and our difficult days. I’m just looking for people who can be real.
Someone to share random thoughts with, send funny memes to, talk about our days, vent when life gets overwhelming, or have those unexpectedly deep conversations that make you feel like you’ve known someone forever.
A few things that matter to me:
Genuine friendships, strictly platonic.
Honesty, kindness, and mutual effort.
People who can laugh and joke but also have meaningful conversations.
Friendships where neither person feels like they’re the only one trying.
I’m not expecting instant best friends. Those connections take time, and I’m perfectly okay with that.
So, if you’re also tired of surface-level conversations and would like to make a genuine friend, say hello! 💜
Let’s start with something more interesting than “how are you?” What’s something about you that most people don’t know until they really get to know you?

Hi I’m Ki 19m I’m just looking for ppl to talk to and hopefully become long term friends with some things I like are basketball , anime, webtoon, video games, and music I like all types of it besides country excluding before he cheats that’s a banger all I ask is that you’re around my age timezones don’t matter much to me

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! I’m 28 and from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and I’m looking to meet new people and hopefully make some new friends!

A few things about me…I’m a HUGE horror fan, and I love all things dark/creepy/paranormal or unexplained

I’m pretty heavily tattooed (just had a new one done last weekend and have more booked over the next couple weeks/months) and I’m always looking for ideas and inspirations for what to get next, I love to see other people’s work and ideas too!

I love music and going to shows(mostly older rock/metal but I like a lot different stuff)

I love gaming, true crime, football, I love to visit historical sites/museums and enjoy travelling, urban exploring/exploring the outdoors and keeping fit, and I spend 99% of my free time with my dog 🐶

Happy to talk to anyone from anywhere, just send a message with a bit about yourself if you think we might get along 🙂

hey everyone, i’m 24m and i’m from new york city.

i’ve rewritten this post more times than i want to admit because i never know how to introduce myself without making it sound like a job application lol. i’m a pretty introverted person, which is kind of funny because i live in one of the loudest and busiest cities in the world. there are millions of people around me every day, but somehow making even one new friend can still feel difficult.

i’m usually the quiet person in a group. i don’t hate people and i’m not trying to be unfriendly, i just overthink what to say. sometimes i’ll think of something to add to a conversation, wait too long because i’m wondering whether it sounds stupid, and then the conversation has already moved on to another topic 😂. once i become comfortable with someone, though, i’m completely different. i can talk a lot, joke around, share random thoughts and have long conversations about almost anything.

i’ve been wanting to get out of my shell for a while, but it’s easy to keep delaying it. i’ll tell myself that i’ll meet people eventually, join something eventually or become more social eventually, but eventually doesn’t really mean anything unless i actually make an effort. so i thought posting here would at least be a small step.

sports are a big interest of mine. i love soccer and enjoy both playing it and talking about it. i also like badminton and cricket. badminton is especially fun, but finding someone who actually wants to play regularly is harder than it should be. i’m not claiming to be a professional at any of them, so don’t expect olympic-level skills from me. i mostly just enjoy playing, laughing at my mistakes and becoming unnecessarily competitive for no reason.

i also enjoy reading, although my reading habits are inconsistent. sometimes i’ll finish a book quickly, and other times the same book will sit next to me for weeks while i pretend i’m definitely going to continue it that night. i like learning about different people, countries, languages and cultures too. one of my favorite things about talking to someone from another place is hearing about the small parts of their daily life that they probably consider normal but might be completely different from mine.

i like cooking as well. i’m bangladeshi, so food has always been a big part of life for me. i enjoy trying different dishes, experimenting in the kitchen and occasionally creating something that tastes good even though i have no idea how i made it. i’m also the type of person who starts thinking about what to eat for dinner while i’m still eating lunch.

traveling is another thing i really enjoy. i’ve traveled alone a few times, and solo traveling as an introvert is a strange experience. on one hand, i love having the freedom to explore at my own pace and change my plans whenever i feel like it. on the other hand, i can spend an entire day seeing incredible places while barely speaking to anyone besides the person taking my food order. i would like to become more confident about meeting people while traveling instead of just taking pictures and quietly disappearing back to my hotel.

and yes, sleeping is also one of my hobbies. probably one of the only hobbies i’m naturally talented at.

i’m not expecting someone to message me and instantly become my best friend. i know friendships take time, and sometimes two people simply don’t connect. i’d just like to meet people who are willing to have a proper conversation and see where it goes. we can talk about sports, food, traveling, books, college, work, daily life, different cultures, random opinions or whatever has been on your mind recently.

i’m also curious about how other introverted people made their friends. did you meet them through school, work, sports, online, or did an extrovert randomly adopt you and never let you leave? because honestly, that last option might be my best chance.

you don’t have to be from new york. i’m happy to talk with people from different states or different countries too. just please be respectful and actually interested in having a conversation. i understand that people become busy, but i’m hoping to avoid the usual conversation where we both say “hey, how are you?” and then never speak again.

to make the first message less awkward, tell me where you’re from, something you’ve been interested in recently and your favorite animal.

my favorite animal is the dolphin 🐬. they’re intelligent, social and somehow always look like they’re having a better day than the rest of us.

anyway, that’s probably enough about me for now. thanks for reading this unnecessarily long introduction. feel free to message me and say something completely random. honestly, random messages are sometimes much easier to answer than just “hey.”

and how are you guys doing

Hii, a little warning: because of the EU region I cant open my dms in settings, thats why if you wanna chat please write smth in the comments and I will text you first!

Im looking for long term friends and game buddies, currently I mostly play fortnite, wuthering waves, phasmophobia, lethal company, repo and content warning. From single player games I like final fantasy, resident evil and persona ^-^

Other hobbies are drawing, music and sleeping xD

Thanks for your attention!

Hello!

Hope you’re doing well!

Ever been told you’re too much? Too needy? Too yappy? Have too much to talk about? Well I really like that so no need to worry! I really enjoy people who talk alot and want to share everything. I like to listen and want to know everything about you so no you are never too much! If you need to vent about something I can also lend a listening ear

Tell me about your hobbies, your interests, your goals! Anything and everything!

I would prefer someone longterm, a genuine friend. I lack that in life at the moment.

I am open to any gender, any time zone.

I’m into many different hobbies but I like to learn about new ones as well

Just message! Im very easy going and kind :)

Strictly Clean/SFW

I'm 26 from the southern United states and I'm lonely. I'm nerdy and like gaming and cars. I have a bachelor's degree but work retail:( I don't get along with guys my own age for some reason so I prefer to talk to women but I don't go after them in a romantic way or anything. Prefer age 22-30f. I'm a good listener and if you like to talk I'm your guy. Please no people trying to promote of or anything.

Hey, I go by David! Im 16M and I in California, I usually talk during the night here so around 10:00 pm - 3:00 am PDT time.

Im an introvert but once i get to know you, i open up! Some things about me, my favorite video game is My Singing Monsters, my favorite music genres are rap, reggae, and jazz, and I love Italian food.

But yes in the title, i’m looking for long term friends, we can chat about whatever. So, just dm me! I prefer people around my age so 14-18. Also i prefer girls because they have a different vibe and energy im looking for, lets chat?! :D See ya!

Edit: videogames i like are: Risk of rain 2, deep rock galactic, left 4 dead 2, payday 2, titanfall 2, halo (mcc) and garry's mod, i play on pc and want pc gamers because most of my games dont have crossplay

Well, the title says it

I consider myself friendless, however, im picky with the people i wanna friend, i mostly just want friends that have a cool personality, do art and MOST IMPORTANTLY play the same videogames as me to play with them (1 isnt enough) (and never blocking me if possible)

Sadly, im someone with a nontraditional way of socializing, as i hate public talking and believe small talk leads to nothing, i just jump into people's DMs, this is hard because a lot of people dont accept randoms

And the thing is, i tried multiple times but failed, such as times were said friends did play the videogames but they play on console while i play on pc wich means we cant play together (it is a problem)

All my current friends are dry texters or boring people with nothing in common, getting them to like the same stuff as me is impossible, they dont like them nor afford it

And also, when i used to have good friends, i lost them forever, they pressed that dreaded block button

I consider this a mental scar of the times i had attachment issues, i would explain but it is so long that is another case

Ik halloween is coming up and i have my costume all planned out i even sewed it from scratch but i have no friends to bar hop, go to the casino, play pool with. I love having a little group of friends until halloween.

I’m from australia. Aussies know how hard it is to make friends after high school. A lot of people gate keep their friends or they never integrate you with their friends so you never get invited to anything when their friends are hanging out.

I’ve asked all my like 4 friends. One has a party she’s going to. Two haven’t replied. And one hasn’t made it official if we’re gonna go to town. I just feel kinda alone. I’ve never really done halloween since turning 18 and legal to drink. I’ve only done it once and I loved it seeing and guessing who people are.

Is it normal to not have any plans or friends to do halloween with?

I really don’t know how this works. I’m going thru probably the hardest time in my life and I have zero friends. I can’t talk to my family because well I just don’t want my business in everyone’s ear. I live in the inland empire of California, idk if that’s how this goes but yeah.
