23F, first apartment alone and it's more emotional than I thought

5 Upvotes

I wanted this so bad and now I sit in my kitchen at night wondering who to tell about my day. It's not sad exactly, just quiet. I like cooking, cross stitch, and old sitcoms. Want a text friend for the quiet evenings.

Does anyone else ever feel like their brain just permanently misfires when it comes to remembering basic instructions?

• Upvotes

Like someone tells you to do something super simple and you nod along but then five minutes later it's like the information just evaporated into thin air. It's so embarrassing when it happens in front of people I'm trying to get to know better. I end up having to ask again and it makes me feel really scatterbrained.

21F looking for a friend to yap with <3

hii!! I'm 21F, who loves reading manhwas, Animes, sometimes novels and spending way too much time indoors 😭 I'm looking for someone I can text daily, share random thoughts with, and have deep talks at 3 am.

tell me your age and current favourite obsession if you wanna be friends

38M just realized I have 0 friends left

5 Upvotes

So the last few weeks my life has drastically fallen apart. My wife left and took our daughters, it was my fault I know that so no need to go into it, but for the last 12 years my friends have all moved on as i devoted more and more of my time to this relationship. Now that shes gone and we aren't talking I realize just how alone I am.

I spend 10-11 hours a day at work 6 days a week. And with the exception of customers here and there I'm completely alone all but 3 hours a day. I drive to work alone, work most of my shift alone, drive home alone, and finally walk into an empty house.

And honestly Im just looking for someone or a few people to talk to randomly through the day.

Im almost always listening to podcasts, music, or a book depending on the day. I love movies, no specific genre I watch a little of everything. Im currently reading about the history of Britian from 3500 BC to 1606. Normally I stick with US history, but I watch a lot of Time Team on YouTube during lunch.

So, if you read this far, I dont care age or gender none of that. Just looking for people to talk to

29F from rural India. Doctor by degree, still learning how to live freely. Looking for a genuine friend. ❤️

3 Upvotes

I grew up with a severely controlling, toxic, and abusive father. I've struggled with suicidal thoughts for much of my life, but somehow, I've held on to hope.

Recently, I started a social media channel and blocked my dad to protect my peace. Surprisingly, things are going well, and for the first time, I'm building an identity of my own. It feels like I'm finally becoming a person outside the environment I grew up in.

But honestly, there's still a lot of pain, and sometimes I wish I had someone I could talk to without having to explain or hide everything.

I'm here because I'd genuinely love to make a friend. Someone to talk about life with, share random thoughts, laugh at stupid things, discuss dreams, or just be there for each other on difficult days. No expectations of perfection, just a genuine human connection.

If you've grown up in a difficult environment too, please know that your past doesn't have to define your future.

To whoever is reading this and struggling silently: please keep going. I hope one day happiness finds you and hugs you so tightly that all those lonely years finally feel a little less painful. ❤️

STRICTLY TIMEPASS PEOPLE OR PEOPLE LOOKING FOR XX OR ROMANCE STAY AWAY. I AM DONE IN MY LIFE.

38F, midlife-quiet-crisis woman who wants deeper connection

Not a crisis exactly, more a recalibration. I'm reassessing everything and want friends who can hold real conversations. I love hiking, reading, and cooking. Would love another woman for thoughtful text friendship.

Why do ppl on this sub be like “need a friend” and when u do dm them they ghost u or are drier than the sahara

• Upvotes

I feel like ppl just want momentary pleasure by typing into this sub…most of these bots or humans( idk)text up only to ghost you completely when their message clearly says “looking for friends” im tryna have a conversation too but nope the other person would still act odd and not reply even after giving a good description of who u are! Genuinely feels like a job interview where the hiring doesnt give a shit but still posts ads for JOBS 💔😭😭😭ts fcuked up man

Anyways i genuinely wanna talk to new ppl and dont wanna get ghosted so if u wanna have a good conversation hit me up- 22M btw

I could really use a friend right now. It’s currently a little past midnight and I’m staring at the ceiling trying to will myself to sleep ( it’s not working).

I’m in a spot in life where everything feels so exhausting and I’m going through it, but I’m trying. I feel like my friends aren’t very responsive when I stop replying because I’ve always been the “strong” friend, the let me drop everything and help you out, friend.

Anyways, if someone could dm me, I’d appreciate it!
Have a good night yall

FYI; I’m 27F

34F, Living Alone for a While, and Sometimes Just Wanting Someone to Talk To

• Upvotes

Living alone has its own kind of freedom. I can live at my own pace, do the things I enjoy, and appreciate the quiet moments. But sometimes, at the end of the day, I wish I had someone to share the little things that happened, talk about life's random moments, or simply chat about anything and everything.

M25. I’ve been by myself a lot recently and could definitely use some internet friends

• Upvotes

Hello!! My name is Rett and I’m from the Southeast US. As of recently my partner and I have been working opposite schedules so I’m often all my myself and definitely get lonely and bored sometimes. I’m an easygoing and caring person who can pretty much talk about anything from insects and conservation to video games and memes. I love to fish, video game, and hike in my free time.

Honestly just looking for someone that I can just chat with throughout the day about whatever nonsense we can think of. Drop a dm if you wanna chat:)

30F | Merhaba, Shwaya Shy, Shwaya Surprise 😂 (A little shy, a little surprise.)

• Upvotes

Hello / Salam! 🌙🤍

I’m a calm, friendly, shy introvert who loves reading, video games, long YouTube videos, rom-coms movies, and self-development. I try to stay positive, protect my peace, and believe that most things in life can be figured out with the right mindset. (Or maybe I’m just delusional. 😂)

Why am I here?
Hoping to find that connection where strangers become friends and suddenly you’re talking for hours like you’ve known each other forever. No drama, no pretending, just genuine conversations and good vibes. 🌿

Message me with your age, gender, and location. Tell me about yourself, say hi, or make me laugh.

Sometimes a simple “hi” works, and sometimes a whole essay can’t create a spark. Chemistry is weird. 💀

Anyway, let’s chat, human! 🤝😂

I'm a 31 years old Arab from the Middle East, hoping to make friends

I'm into a wide range of music genres, really into tech stuff, and I love anime. Some of my favorites include Bleach, Hunter x Hunter, Jujutsu Kaisen, and the list goes on. I sometimes read manga and manhwa too.

When it comes to shows I like Breaking Bad, Ted Lasso, How to Get Away with Murder, and Suits. I'm also into gaming (we could play co-op games!), coding, and reading.

If any of this sounds like your vibe, feel free to message!
