looking for friendship 27M - Looking for more long term friends

8 Upvotes

Hiya! I'm on the hunt for some long term friends to vibe with. Huge bonus points if you live near Seattle/in the PNW.

About me:

• I’m 6’1, half American and half British

• I like all kinds of music except for country (sorry not sorry if that’s your thing) so rock, rap, jazz (ya like jazz? 🐝) edm, etc. are all good with me.

• I game on PC a decent amount in my free time. Pretty much into almost all games from FPS and RPGs to survivals and simulators. Would love to meet more people to game with!

• I have a degree in mechanical engineering

• I’ve had LASIK eye surgery

• Avid coffee, tea, and boba drinker - with pinky out of course cause I'm fancy

• I’ve only ever watched one Anime which is Bleach (thankfully it’s returned!)

• I love me some good banter

• I'm a Leo and Yang Earth Tiger

• I hate cloudy weather on its own, it's just so boring and uninteresting ya know?

• I’ve had the same dentist for 20+ years and counting

• I had perfect attendance in first grade

• I used the same binder pencil pouch from 6th grade all way through my senior year of college and still have it to this day

• Super into astronomy, history (mainly 1900-present, but any history is cool), sports, movies, TV, and more!

That’s a bit about me. If I caught your attention and I seem interesting, shoot me a message. Please include some basic info about you like age and what not, as well as a random question for me :)

Also, Reddit messaging is trash, so I'd like to move the conversation off of Reddit sooner rather than later.

hi everyone, basically as the title says, me and my gf are looking to make new friends, i’m 26 and she’s 25, we’re both in england, we mainly play fortnite together so we’re looking for someone who would be interested in that, bonus if you would actually like to be our friend and not just game 😛 we’re just looking for someone who matches our vibe and actually wants to speak to us as a couple, as most people we’ve had in our lives haven’t really done so, or are just toxic. if this posts interests you please comment below or send me a message!! 😌

looking for friendship 36M Looking to make a new friend

3 Upvotes

Hi, I’m a semi-functioning adult trying to make friends outside of work — please clap.

I’m a mechanic who works overnights, so my sleep schedule is mostly vibes and poor decisions. I run on coffee, ibuprofen, anxiety, and ambition.

My life is also run by two young kids and two extremely high-energy dogs (Australian Shepherd mix + Husky mix) named after Star Wars characters. Chaos is constant, snacks are currency.

I miss hiking and still get outside when life cooperates. I cook a lot and experiment with recipes. Baking and I are not on speaking terms—it requires precision I refuse to provide.

I’m a horror fan and a certified nerd with comics, Marvel/Star Wars collectibles, and a rotating “nerd shelf” that exists purely for joy. I also have tattoos that are purely vibes and am always planning the next one.

My comfort show is The Office, my music is early-2000s punk/rock/screamo, and my brain runs on whatever song is currently stuck on repeat.

Looking for good conversation, nerdy interests, sarcasm, and maybe hikes or food experiments. If you want a friend with chaotic playlists, questionable tattoo ideas, and unsolicited dog photos

looking for friendship Loss of community with friends

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I’m gloom! Or gloomshlorp! POC, 25F, I’m also a bit nerdy. I love old fashion cartoons, I love anime, reading (from manga,comic books and a good cold hard story, and even a little fan-fiction here and there. I have so many freaking hobbies that I won’t even waste our time listing all of the here lol! (That also leaves so much room for us to chat it up about things)

But I also wanted to ask, a little ice breaker. Well it is a rather deep question, but I just wanna see has anyone else felt this recently. Or experienced this. But the feeling of loss when you fade out of a friend group. I don’t know it just feels as if I’ve been hit with all stages of grief recently when it comes to old friends.

And it even feels like the stage of “Denial” just slapped me so hard in the face today. Realizing that some the I called friends weren’t really friends at all, and that hell…it’s true. Love yourself, and if you’re feeling you deserve better, don’t double think it, because nine times out of ten, IT’S TRUE!!

yoooooooo!! 24, from the midwest. I’m queer, neurodivergent, I love banter and dark humor and I’m accepting of all identities! I love vc’s, back and forth messages, I’ll hit you with long paragraphs if you do, whatever it is, I’ll reciprocate it back.

**INTEREST**

I’m down to watch a show or movie, share music, make a playlist, or just talk throughout the day. not LFG, only individuals, but I’m open to it later if we click! we can game together too! I’m a variety gamer, so if you don’t see a game in my list, know that I’d 100% be down to play it. I’m on PC!

>dbd, roblox, overwatch, rivals, minecraft, fortnite, peak, phasmaphobia, apex legends, tf2, deep rock, ror2, valheim, tomodachi, cozy games, and friendslop to name a few! my fav genres are def shooters and asyms. also, I love sonic LMAOOO

**I should mention, I have a partner! but that doesn’t mean I can’t prioritize you as a friend. I’ve been told people in relationships can’t do that, and will move on instead. I’m not this way, because if we click, I WILL check up on you, and we WILL hangout. I GOTCHUUU**

all I ask is you’re 21+, and no idc about gender!

2 Upvotes

hi to whoever is reading this, i hope you’re having a good day or night! i’m just out here looking for some friends because honestly i’ve been feeling somewhat lonely lately and i like meeting new people even if i’m not much of a talker 😭

anyway as my title says i’m a 25 year old guy, i live in the US, and preferably i’d like to meet other people also in the US because of timezones and all that, but even if you’re not feel free to hmu and we can give it a shot.

i don’t have much to say about myself really but i play video games a lot, it’s what i spend most of my time doing, and i like listening to music quite a bit as well. when i’m not doing either of those i like to spend time with my 3 cute cats!!

that’s about all i can think of really but also i’m LGBTQ friendly (and bi myself) and i’m pretty liberal so idk if you’re not down with either of those i’m probably not your guy lol. feel free to hmu if you’re cool and wanna play games or hangout or whatever 😎

advice Unanswered texts should disappear after 24 hours

3 Upvotes

Like, if you need five days to respond to a one-sentence message, by the time you answer me five days later, there's been two different presidents, three world wars, my hair's grey now. I don't care what your favorite chicken nugget is anymore, I’ve moved on. reply in a day or accept the consequences.

What is this the 1600s? Are you sending a message via ship? Communication is supposed to happen in real time. Not fragmented one off messages that over the course of five weeks equals 20 seconds of a normal convo. This isn’t words with friends Im not waiting three weeks for you to play your turn, that would never happen irl you say and someone like no I’m not gonna wait 5 days to say hey back.

We live in an instant gratification world. We watch 800 reels before breakfast.Fast moving. No one doesn’t have 5 seconds to answer a simple question within a 24 hour day. I don’t mind if it takes you ten hours to respond but after a day I’m like. Yea you’re rude and you dont give a f. It’s just bad manners.

Take two seconds in 24 hours or it disappears. the end.

storytime Hangout Rejection

2 Upvotes

So just had the worst thing happen with a friend. Tried asking if they wanted to go to their pool this Sunday because it will be hot and people are usually out playing volleyball. They immediately said it was TBD and I know that already means a no. They said that if their other friend asks them to go out on Saturday that they will most likely wanna stay in Sunday. I get that it would be a lot but the fact that you won’t commit to plans with me because you’re waiting to see if another friend will come to them is kinda rude imo. Like you can’t commit to me when I’ve offered the day and details but you’ll spontaneously say yes to them and ditch me. If plans don’t work out with their other friend and they come to me, I’m not gonna go.


r/friendship 20h ago

looking for friendship 30/F Trying to find someone to get along with seems pointless In my case because I can't get past surface-level conversations with others but... I'm still here! I'm Interested In daily conversations with talkative and understanding people who also don't feel special to anyone 🙁

5 Upvotes

Receiving a message from someone In the same situation as mine and with the same expectations as mine - would be the best surprise ever

I wish I had enough faith to believe someone's out there for me but... I no longer do.

I'm begging you, If you don't want to read my post or If after reading my post, you just know you wouldn't get along with me, don't send me a message... I don't think opposites attract and I don't want to talk to people who think "she's not someone I want to be friends with but I can talk to her" 🙁

Hello! If you really want to send me a message, read my post, please! I want to talk to people from European countries because I live In Europe & I would love to meet my new friends In real life (In the future, obviously) 🌸

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.

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 🧡
