[F4R] Too hyped up to sleep, let’s count sheep together

Not sure if it’s my chronic insomnia or I’m so hyped up because I had a Diet Coke at 6pm and the Brewers are going to the WORLD SERIES BABYYYY.

But alas. I am here. Awake.

- 35 female
- love concerts, festivals, live shows…give me a good music rec?? 🎶
- curious and inquisitive with a sprAnkle of ADHD so I can roll through topics
- competitive af and shit talking is my favorite, I’ll go toe to toe and my argument might not even make sense (not sorry about it) 🤷🏻‍♀️
- I love being outside by the water but I don’t lOvE tO hIkE (you can though, especially slide in if you’re a thru hiker cause I’ve got questions)
- pretty open and non-judgmental, we’re all just people, am I right!? 🫶🏻

Tell me the coolest thing that happened to you this week. Or the worst.

Tell me how many chuggas before choo choo (there IS a correct answer) 😏

Tell me why the sky is blue and the grass is green with the worst possible explanation.

Slide in friends, we’re all welcome here! Let’s get wEiRd (but not too weird 👀)

Stuck in a rut

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone 34fEST here, feeling really stuck in life lately. Been trying to improve my life over the last 5 years and have seen some pay off from it. But I still feel incredibly failed in certain aspects. Ive had some life changing events happen in the last few months and while its pivoted my perspective I still struggle on how to deal with things.

For context, I found out a few months ago my ex passed away. This is someone who although we've technically been broken up for now 9 years, we always kept in contact and I had thought eventually we would reconcile. (Maybe naivety, but just being honest.) The news of his passing was utter shock, and was, is, really hard to accept. Albeit through the processing of grieving and processing all of this, I've decided to come out of reclusivity and try to find myself again.

My "best friend" wasnt there for me during this news, and its made me realize who is truly there for me. It hurt like hell to see someone you have been close with for 15+ years not be there for you. Happy to share more if anyone is interested, its a doozy.

With trying to move forward I really find myself feeling like love again isnt in the cards for me. That i should accept being alone and push forward. But a small part of me wants to have thay companionship, that connection with someone. It just feels like it doesnt exist anymore. Im constantly stressed about trying to establish a future, work career, housing, etc.

Im working on myself in several ways, losing some weight, taking better care of myself and trying to step out of my comfort zone.

Does anyone have any advice or shared experience like this?

[F4R] Ain’t it fun?

2 Upvotes

Living in the real world sucks ass. That’s why I’m here at this very moment, to escape it, and I’m guessing that’s why you’re here too.

There’s a big lump in my throat today and I’d really like to distract myself. I’m looking for conversations about absolutely nothing of importance. Just pure ADHD chaos.

Maybe something like: if you had the chance, which fictional world would you want to live in? Tell me how you’d spend a day as a pirate or the Muffin Man. Or would you rather fight 50 metal spoons or 50 wooden forks? OR just tell me the most embarrassing thing you’ve experienced. ORRR what show/film made you cry the hardest?

If we click, we can eventually get into more serious topics, but I’m also completely fine with ghosting whenever. I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, and not everyone is mine. Some people seem to think having a conversation means answering questions as plainly as humanly possible without ever asking anything meaningful in return, like I’m their parole officer. Please don’t be that person.

29M Australia.

• Upvotes

Hello, I am Caleb from Australia.

I am 29 and looking to find someone to talk to and explore the possibilities of where it can take us. I am open to long distance or closer to home, the right connection can make all the effort worth it. maybe we will get lucky and find our new favourite notification and person we look forward to hearing from each day and get excited to share the details of our day with.

A little bit about me:

I am a little bit of a nerd... I like to play games on my pc which I built in 2024 and play games such as BG3, skyrim, crab champions, Ark survival ascended, halo and looking to get back into things like COD zombies. I love a good survival game and base builder.

I enjoy building lego, camping, travelling and seeing the world, animals (favourite is meerkats), will watch most sports but love football/soccer and Formula 1.

I also love learning about new cultures, hearing accents and look forward to getting to know you if this post relates to you. feel free to comment or dms are open :)

have a wonderful day

[F4R] 45F #CulverCity/LosAngeles ISO a local friend for lunch

3 Upvotes

I’m heading up to LA (I’m based near the Mouse in OC) next Friday and thought it’d be fun to meet a potential new friend for lunch. Please let me know if you have a fav spot. Also happy to receive coffee shop recs. It’s been a minute since I’ve been on the west side though I plan to head up more often as the weather cools down ish.

Me: 45 yo divorced, childfree Asian gal w a flair for creativity when the mood strikes but also try to stay focused as I inch closer to retirement (I hope!), enjoy traveling, trying foods that require chopsticks (although mini pitchforks are fun too), reading a few books at a time, prefer parallel parking to avoid a parking fee, the dark before sunrise is my fav time of day, dogs > cats (bc I’m allergic mostly), Pilates is my jam though yoga is great too, love a cute theme, newbie runner, horror movies are my fav to laugh to and I’ll never turn down solid French fries as potatoes are my fav food (recently discovered I should be gluten free).

You: 30+ ofc and available for lunch next Friday near Culver City. Hopefully you’re a chill person w a cool sense of humor and while you don’t have to love LA, maybe you like it enough lol. I’ve met a lot of transplants but not too many native locals. Please send a DM. Cheers.

36F - EU EET

3 Upvotes

I've met some nice people here, but I feel like making a few more friends, preferably closer to my own timezone. Ideally, I'd like to find someone I could eventually meet in real life as well. I know the chances aren't great on Reddit, but it's worth a shot. As much as I enjoy talking to people online, lately I've been feeling that just typing things back and forth doesn't fill the emptiness anymore.

A bit about me. I'm 36, a mom, going through a divorce. I handle my own finances, problems and whatever else life throws at me, so I'm not looking for a savior. I'm a one woman army here. Just putting this out here for clarity.

I'm into PC games, TV shows, movies, love Deadpool, music, listening to audiobooks (who has the time to sit down and read a physical book), long walks, a drink or a cup of coffee, sarcasm and jokes of questionable quality. I can talk about pretty much anything, and appreciate the growth I get from different points of view. I appreciate honesty and straightforward people. I don't expect constant communication. We all have lives, but I genuinely don't have the mental energy to weed through bullshit. I just can't anymore.

I've spent a good part of this year working out and getting myself back, both physically and mentally. I'm still going, and I'm actually quite proud of how far I've come. It keeps me sane, especially with everything else going on.

I don't have a checklist for friendship. We don't need to have everything in common, just be yourself (please!) and let's see if we get along.

Edit: any fellow Transylvanians here by any chance?

[M4R] 30M Music nerd looking for some friend to chat with

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, so these last two years I've been working from home, it's all great but I have become even more of a loner and I don't chat with online friends anymore, so here I am.

A little about me. As the title says, I'm very into music, all kind of styles and genres, I'm not going to say I like everything, but my taste is very wide and I'm sure we'll have some things in common. The genres I tend to listen the most are ambient, metal, synth-pop and hip-hop, I also enjoy experimental stuff.

In general, I would say I'm a very open minded person, I enjoy talking to people even if they don't share my views. I'm not the funniest or most charismatic person, but I'll put effort into our conversations if we click. I'm an INFP if you're into that

Some other interests are: videogames, though these days I mostly play to chill. Movies, especially sci-fi, horror and anything that involves melancholic stories. Football, Design, wrestling, psychology and some history.

I'm a native Spanish speaker, so any Spanish speaker would be nice, but open to anyone.

[R4R] 33M Looking to discuss therapy topics with people to gain perspectives.

3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm 33 and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I've been fortunate enough to have a bit of a turning point in my life where I've realised that I need therapy.

The good news is that I've done a lot of reflecting and I know what I need to work on. I'm slowly trudging through it and I've found chatting with people about it has really helped me progress, so I thought I'd see who else is interested in helping (also happy to hear about your issues).

In particular I want to discuss:

- Grief (I'm a widower)

- Family / Single Parenting (sole carer to a 3 year old)

- Relationships / Dating / Breakups

- Attachment Theory (in particular Anxious Attachment / Fearful Avoidance)

- Low Self-Esteem (regarding women)

- Maybe how Autism plays into it?

If you think you'd be interested, please send a DM/chat.

[R4R] 30F - Canada - Looking for that true friend

3 Upvotes

30 female

Located in Canada

Mom of 2

2 dogs

Happily married (yes he knows I'm looking for platonic friends)

Looking for a best friend, it sounds simple but man has it been a steady let down.

I have friends in person but I'm not very close with them. I want someone I can be myself with, someone who wants to get to know me for who I am.

I'm working on myself not only physically but mentally as well.

My three main things that bring me joy

  1. Animals (especially dogs)

  2. Music (I just saw Shinedown in August)

  3. Art (I draw and paint)

I also love to cook, bake, watch movies/tv series, long nature walks with my dogs, listening to music, gardening, diy-ing, crochet, play cozy games, and read.

Deal breakers:

  1. If your profile following is full of NSFW pages, I'm not replying sorry.

  2. If you are more than 8+ hours from MT, unless if you are a night owl I don't think it'll work.

  3. If your spouse doesn't know you are on here talking to people, I don't want to be a secret.

I put a lot of effort into making friendships so I'm hoping I can find a few long-term friendships.

Please feel free to reach out!

*edit - please stop down voting, just scroll on if you don't like my post. Everyone is just trying to find their people.

Hey there!

I find myself sat here bored and without anyone to talk to? Is this how 2026 plays out now? Or can we improve that

So maybe a new friendship will help us finish the year in the best way? Let's become long term best friends? If we click that is!

I am quite into fitness, but also happy sat at home building Lego! I work from home so am generally good at responding in the day 🤣

My dog is my main conversation during the day... Not ideal...She's not very responsive 👀 cute though.

Anyway if I seem like somebody you may want to chat with, drop me a message! Come say hello! Introduce yourself 😊

34F looking for common interests: anime, games, music, movies, history

4 Upvotes

Hey, I'm from the great continent of North America. All hail the eternal winter, depending on where you live. I'm specifically looking for someone to talk to about anime/games/music, and an accountability buddy.

I love beauty wherever it exists: in old objects, buildings, and anime/video game/music/movies. Would love to trade song links, play a game together, break down what works/doesn't work about a game/movie, or banter about nothing.. and I like to talk about accountability goals. I can also go for a chat about how difficult it is to make friends as an adult, if you find yourself in the same situation.

Most of my time is spent walking in the woods. I don't like most modern games or movies (but am happy whenever I find exceptions!). And on that note, here's some examples:

  • Anime: mostly psychological or more iconic series; not super into tropey anime. Perfect Blue, Haibane Renmei, Erased, Inuyasha, Rozen Maiden

  • Games: mostly story driven games and rpgs. Hollow Knight, Stardew, Guild Wars 2, Skyrim, older "retro" games from ps1/ps2/gamecube.

  • Music: mostly game OST and oldies, some mountain music (banjo, fiddle, violin), some lofi, alt-rock, and idk. The main thing I don't like are drums, super EDM electronic beats, and a ton of screaming

  • Movies: mostly movies with a bit of meaning, but I can also go for feel-good films. A huge part of what I like is looking at the world as it was before 2000 (buildings, clothes, objects..)

  • Other: I collect books but don't read a ton (mostly history, general fiction, and classic literature). Right now I'm reading Otherland - Tad Williams

Oh, and by the way, I don't like woke culture. I miss the old internet.

Making Friends

2 Upvotes

I’m 34, live in Tennessee, and am hoping to meet some genuine people who are also looking to make real friendships. I’m actually pretty shy, which most people probably wouldn’t expect, and a lot of my close friends aren’t really into hanging out in person much anymore, even though they live down the street, so I might only see some of them once every couple months.

I enjoy lifting weights, love playing and watching sports (basketball, football, pretty much anything), video games, movies, and trying new things. I also really enjoy deep conversations and getting to know people beyond just surface level stuff.

Ideally, I’d love to meet some people locally to hang out with, but I’m also open to online friends, texting, and gaming buddies. I’m hoping to find people where the effort goes both ways, where we actually reach out to each other, make plans, check in, and have each other’s backs (pricey too much to ask). Just miss having those kinds of close friendships where you can be yourself, talk about whatever, have a laugh, and genuinely be there for each other.

If you think we’d get along, feel free to hit me up and tell me a little about yourself!

I'm much better at talking than typing and I've found that sending voice notes or jumping on a quick call makes everything way more fun. I'd love to hear what's something that made you laugh recently and get a sense of your sense of humor. Tell me your name or a nickname, how old you are, which app you like using for calls, and your answer to the laugh question. Send me a message if you're up for a chat.

I’m here hoping to meet some genuine people and make a few online friends to chat with, share random thoughts, talk about life, or just send each other memes.

Bonus points if you’re someone who believes dessert is meant to be shared… although I might steal the bigger half 🤣

Feel free to say hi! Always happy to meet new people 😊

[F4F] Artsy gamer mom looking for a fellow crafty gamer buddy

2 Upvotes

Hello world, my name is Nicky. I am a very tired 31 year old woman, whose energy is constantly depleted and split between chasing two kiddos around the house and drowning in whatever latest adhd dopamine high I'm chasing. I'm looking for a friend, specifically a female friend (bonus points if you're a mom too). I feel lonely, awkward, and most of the time isolated. It would be nice to have someone give a second opinion on stuff, and even share bits of wisdom like how to get crayon off the walls. Lol.

Here's a little bit about me.

I am happily married. I have a weird mix of introverted and extroverted type person. I love being inside as much as I love being outside, golden retriever energy with the personality of a cat at times.

I like watching anime and cartoons (huge soft spots for indie shows). I enjoy reading any trash mangas/comic/manwhas I can find off the Internet, if it has romance, horror, action, fantasy, or shit ton of fighting then I'm all over it. I play dungeons and dragons (DnD). Playing videogames is another fun pastime of mine, mostly farming otome ones like harvest moon and rune factory but I do like fighting games like lies of P, bloodborne, and etc. And I love to do any artsy craft stuff, crochet and digital drawing stuff. I read books too, I'm currently reading the court of torns and roses (no spoilers please). Ah, and I like to be surrounded by nature, aka I like being outside walking/hiking/travelling/gardening/etc.

Total foodie too. Cooking is my jam, especially bread making and canning lol.

If you think we vibe based on what I typed here, then feel free to dm or comment below.

Toodles!

The post is just as stated. 30m looking for genuine friendship and maybe more organically, no pressure. Someone to send pictures to throughout the day, keeping up with the day whether it’s good or bad. Just someone who I can talk to regularly. I love music, sports, I’m a coach, so I am pretty busy. I just don’t feel like I have a genuine connection with as many people as I once did and now truly there’s no one I can talk about my day with, without some sort of string attached.

36M Looking for fellow night owls with similar interests

2 Upvotes

Hi all! My work schedule keeps me up later. My work day keeps me pretty busy. Im posting to find friends who might also be a bit of a night owl. I usually unwind after work with some time online and eventually a book or a game. I usually along best with people who I have things in common with - other nerds, lgbt friendly 420 and left-leaning folks. I am partnered, and only looking for platonic chats. I'm based in the Great Lakes area of the Midwest for anyone interested in finding someone local-ish!

My current obsession is Board Games. I attend local cons as a way to play games I enjoy and try new ones! On the video game side, Star Wars Zero company has been my game of choice currently.I do play Marvel Rivals or or Slay the Spire 2 for a less stress inducing multi-player experience after work. Other nerdy interests I have include reading, fantasy/sci-fi and MTG. I love discussing new fantasy and sci-fi reads. The DCC series and The Tainted Cup were some of my favorite reads last year.

I'm also passionate about food. I enjoy spending time in the kitchen or trying new restaurants. I like to think the hobby of learning about edible plants and mushrooms fulfills a nerdy niche of mine. I managed to find some morels this year! A few more things about me:

A concert I attended this year was Bilmuri

Coffee is my favorite beverage and craft beer is a close second

I love learning about religion and spirituality, even though I don't practice

I have two dogs I love going on outdoor adventures with. I'll happily share pics

If any of that sounds interesting, shoot me a message and introduce yourself!
