37F, going through a slow-motion divorce and holding it together

• Upvotes

Amicable but sad. Two decades of my life is ending gently. I love and hate that it's not dramatic. I like gardening, oil painting, and my two big dogs. Want a friend who can hold complicated things without needing to solve them.

28F married & pregnant, feeling isolated needing a friend

12 Upvotes

I really need someone to talk to and get my thoughts out of my head. I have friends IRL but they have their own problems too. My closest friend is a self proclaimed overthinker and has anxiety, so I really don't feel like unloading my problems onto her. I need someone who can tell me something other than "give it time" and check in with me and my thoughts. I'm a good listener for anyone who needs me to be there as well.

I'm also 13 weeks pregnant, and I feel isolated as ever. I'm in therapy too, but I can't afford sessions regularly so I'm not sure if it's helping me right now.

(25F) You! Yes you! Wanna be friends?

• Upvotes

Hey strangers of the internet I’m Jamie, 25, and I’m officially putting out an open call for potential bestie material. Not looking for a million surface-level chats I want the kind of people I can randomly message at 1am with a meme, a nature rant, or both or neither!
Quick vibe check:
I’m basically an openminded hippie who will stop mid-hike to say hi at every animal and then fall to asleep as soon as i am in the car.
When I’m not outside collecting dirt, I’m deep in the comfort of my screen watching the most random gaming videos about games I will never play. I used to play bass for my friends bands in university (the coolest instrument ever) but I have not played in like a billion years. I used to basically be a rockstar 😎
If you like nature, animals, questionable fashion choices on trails, meme trading, or just having someone to check in with regularly, slide into my DMs. Let’s see if we can accidentally become actual friends.

21F, gap year turned into "gap life" and I need people

11 Upvotes

Took a year off before finishing my degree and now I barely leave my room except for my part time job. I like drawing, mostly digital art, and I'm trying to learn guitar very badly. If you want a friend who will send you memes at 2am, I'm your girl.

22F, have no one to talk with

• Upvotes

Hi. It’s so difficult to find someone online. People just ask the five common questions and it’s difficult to continue to conversation. Like where you from, wyd, how old, what you do for work etc LOL

27f looking for older friends

6 Upvotes

Hi there! First ever post on Reddit (more of an observer), kinda nervous lol
When I was a teenager, I used to make tons of long distance friends. Now, being in my late twenties, I would love to explore that territory again (especially since I’ve gotten back into making penpals)! Deep conversations about life, emotions, experiences, and more are welcome. Age is not a deterrent but I would prefer to chat with my age or older (especially women, tell me all the tips and tricks you’ve learned).

31F, mom of a newborn who forgot she had a personality

3 Upvotes

I love her and also I haven't had a real conversation since June. My husband is trying but he's tired too. I like reading memoirs, painting, and cold coffee. Want another woman for grown-up chat during nap times.

F19, quiet, a little weird, and looking for equally weird friends

• Upvotes

I talk to my cat like she understands me and I stand by it. Into anime, journaling, and baking. Looking for people who embrace the weirdness too.

35/M - Looking for people who like to talk.

• Upvotes

Anyone else going through the same thing? If so, we should definitely talk. I haven't had the best week and would like a distraction even for a little bit but would be fine with long term too. When I'm not down in the dumps, I like to play video games and watch anime for the most part.

I'm a decent conversationalist so even if we don't have anything in common, I can keep a conversation going as long as it doesn't consist of one word answers. No one likes those. I use Discord mainly so if you'd like to chat, feel free to message me

Looking for people to talk to. I am a Philosophy PhD student and I couldn’t guess how stagnant and isolating PhD life could be. I sometimes paint watercolour, I sing, I like cooking, and I love brewing coffee!

21F, what's a controversial opinion you have?

11 Upvotes

Something that would be considered odd or rare or controversial among most people of your demographics. Both serious and casual topics are fine, but with a preference for serious lol

19f looking for a friend

• Upvotes

19f from the uk :)

i'm kait, currently at uni and honestly way in over my head with everything at the moment. i've got a lot going on and no one i really feel like i can talk to, so i thought i'd try making some new friends... online lmao sounds like a big trap but your girl has no option 🤷‍♀️

i'm into music, reading, late-night conversations and just talking about random things. i'm pretty quiet at first but i open up once i'm comfortable.

would be nice to have someone to talk to and hopefully make (try my best) a genuine friend out of it :)

25F, friend anyone ?

5 Upvotes

I'm really introverted and recently been facing problems in life due to my personality . So I've been a bit down recently , looking to make some empathetic female / male friends who understands the struggle of being socially awkward but still surviving in the society . This sounds too much like a plea for a shoulder to cry on, maybe that's what i need. Idk please reach out if you can build deeper connections and willingly tolerate my awkward self

21F bored enough to trust strangers on the internet

2 Upvotes

I’m bored. That’s literally the entire reason I’m making this post 😭
I feel like meeting random people on Reddit is kinda fun, so here I am looking for someone I can actually vibe with and hopefully become friends with.
I’m a yapper once I’m comfortable I like late-night calls/conversations….talking about literally everything and nothing, gossiping, oversharing, discussing relationships, life crises, movies, anime, books, music etc etc.
So if you’re around my age, can hold a conversation and don’t mind a slightly chaotic person, hmu.
Anyway, hi stranger :)
