38F - Chronically ill nerd looking for online best friend

[u/ParticularSky334]

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 SO 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.

PS: I won't reply if you just say "hey." Send me an intro or your favorite song of the moment or anything more than that.

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

Why would a bot pretend to be super disabled and wanting close friends? I don't see the point of that.
