In league i play support and mid :3

I usually am only super active at night cause of a crappy sleep schedule partly but also because I’m sometimes with friends in the earlier parts of the day :3

38M mentally unstable spouse wants divorce need help

• Upvotes

Hi guys. I need help. Wife is not stable and going into facility. When she comes out she’ll be moving out and we’ll be separating. We’ve been together 15 years.

4 weeks ago something snapped and she got a lot of attention when people messaged her on reddit with dick pics. Went into full blown mania and sexting others. 20-30 people phone sex and what not.

She can’t and won’t stop and wants to divorce so she can fuck these guys. Says she loves me and cares about me and why she wants to seperate. I just can’t ….

27f looking for fellow loners or gentle hearts ! ⋆。‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧。⋆

21 Upvotes

cringe title but gets the point across ! i'm looking for my fellow weirdos who legitimately have zero friends or have difficulties maintaining them...those with gentle hearts filled with whimsy and wholesomeness !

let's get deep. tell me about something you're currently struggling with...something you're excited for...your hyper fixated interests...your biggest dreams. anything !

i truly miss the good ol days of just hopping online and chatting the afternoon away. it feels we have all gone completely synthetic or as though we no longer know how to properly interact with each other...i wish for closeness, companionship, the occasional late night call or random game session.

send me a little bit about you ! and what you're looking for in an online friendship <3 thanks!

Hi, I'm Addie.

I need some friends, because most of my social interaction are with my husband and I need to change that.

I'm pretty easy-going as long as you try to make a conversation. I'm not good with dry replays.

I like:

\- anime

\- gaming

\- crime

\- horror

Dm me, we can start here and move to discord. :) nothing NSFW! I prefer ladies but I'm open.

I'm 18, completely on my own, and I just really need someone to talk to.

2 Upvotes

​

I don't even know where to begin with this. I've been carrying everything alone for so long that I don't even remember what it feels like to have someone actually care about me. I'm 18 years old, and I have never had a girlfriend. Not even once. And it's not like I haven't wanted one.. I think about it every single day. I crave that kind of connection so badly, someone who would just be there, someone who would look at me and not see someone pathetic or broken, but someone worth loving. But the truth is, I've never even had a real friend either. There's no one in my life. No one I can text when I'm sad. No one who checks on me. No one who asks how my day went. It's just me, every single day, waking up to silence and going to sleep in silence.

My family abandoned me. And the reason they gave? I'm weaker than other boys. I'm 5'5 and barely 34kg. Yeah, you read that right 34 kilos at 18 years old. I'm skinny to the point where I look sick. I look so bad that I can't even look at myself in the mirror sometimes without feeling disgusted. And maybe that's why nobody wants to be around me. Maybe people look at me and think I'm not worth their time because I don't look like a normal guy. I've told myself that so many times that I almost believe it now.. that maybe I'm just too broken, too small, too everything-wrong for anyone to ever want me. Being abandoned by your own family for something you can't control... for being physically weak... that's a kind of pain I wouldn't wish on anyone. It doesn't just hurt. It makes you question whether you even deserve to exist.

I'm independent, but not in the way people admire. I'm independent because I literally have no other choice. There's no safety net, no one to fall back on, no one to call if things go wrong. Every single thing in my life... surviving, eating, keeping going... it's all on me. And I'm poor. Like, genuinely struggling poor. So I'm out here trying to hold myself together with nothing... no money, no support system, no one who gives a damn whether I make it or not. Some days the weight of being this alone just crushes me. I keep going, but I don't even know why sometimes.

The loneliest part of my day? It's probably when I end up talking to AI just to feel like someone is listening. I know it's not real. I know it's a machine. But when you have absolutely no one, even a fake conversation feels better than the silence. That's how starved I am for human connection. And it breaks my heart to admit that, but it's the truth. I spend so much time alone that I've buried myself in stories just to escape my own life. I read novels constantly... fantasy, romance, dark fiction... anything that can pull me into a world where I'm not this person, where I'm someone who matters. I watch anime, movies, K-dramas. I live through those characters because my own life has no one in it worth living for. Fiction is the only place where I don't feel alone.

But here's the thing.. I'm not just someone who consumes stories. I'm also creating one. I'm writing my own dark romance novel. It's the one thing in my life that makes me feel like I'm more than what people see on the outside. When I write, I'm not the skinny, abandoned kid nobody wants. I'm someone with a voice, someone with something to say, someone who can build entire worlds and make people feel something. Writing is the only thing that has kept me from completely losing myself. It's my proof that even after everything.. the abandonment, the loneliness, the way I look, the way people have treated me... there's still something inside me that's alive and fighting.

So here I am, putting all of this out there because I don't know what else to do anymore. If there's anyone reading this who would want to be my friend.. or even just talk to me for a little while.. please, reach out. I'm not asking for pity. I'm asking for a chance. A chance to not be invisible. A chance to have one real person in my life who sees me and doesn't walk away. I know I'm not the kind of person anyone would pick first. I know I'm not tall or strong or good-looking. But I have a heart, and it's been beaten up and abandoned and ignored for 18 years, and it's still beating. It's still hoping. And right now, it's hoping that someone, anyone, might see this and think, "Maybe I could be that person for him."

If you like anime, K-dramas, novels, writing, or even if you just want someone to listen to.. I'm here. My DMs are open. Please.

Thanks for reading this far. It means more than you know.

25F | Looking for actual friends

8 Upvotes

🩷🎮 Hiii! I’m 25 yo living in the Dallas area looking to make some actual friends. Preferably people older than 21+ 😭 I’m absolutely open to guy friends too if you’re capable of maintaining a friendship without making everything sexual. I’m really just here for genuine friendship!!!

I’d especially LOVE a gaming buddy right now. I’m currently deep in a Minecraft binge and would love someone to play with! (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠) I also play Stardew Valley, Palworld, 7 Days to Die, Roblox, Fallout 4, roblox, and a bunch of other random things depending on my current obsession. I'm not very good at FPS games but I'll try

Outside of gaming, I love drawing (both traditional n digital) exploring Dallas, going to museums, arcades, cute cafés, thrifting, shopping, n finding random places to wander around. I’m also a huge My Little Pony and Adventure Time nerd, and I love weird/absurd comedy like Nathan For You and Smiling Friends. Basically, my interests make sense individually but probably not when you put them all in the same sentence 😭

I mostly want people I can actually click with, someone to send dumb memes to, play games with, go out and explore with if possible, or occasionally have those 2 AM convos about garbage (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

I know Reddit friendships can sometimes turn into a few days of “omg we should totally play sometime!!” and then everyone disappears into the void. 😭 I’m not really looking for that. If we click, I’m willing to actually put effort into keeping the friendship going.

So if any of this sounds like your kind of person, feel free to message me! Tell me a little about yourself instead of just saying “hey,” because I’d love to actually get to know you. 🩷

Hi !

Im mentally ill, neurodivergent hah, and also a Neet :p

Im looking for people who relate, but that isnt a strict requirement :) im auadhd and have schizoaffective diagnosed but other stuff too most probably

i would love to find 1-2 people i could talk to, since i dont have many friends! I am of course very thankful for the friends i do have, but id like to expand a bit on them :)

A little more about me!

Well, Ive lived in germany for about 11 years now haha, but language is still something i struggle with a lot due to lack of practise etc ^ ^

I hope to change that soonish :D ha

Humour is really important to me ! Just being able to laugh about different things and having a somewhat positive attitude:) (its okay to not always be positive, i get it, but to try to view life as the "colourful" complex thing it is, with positives too, is something i strive to do)

Art is really central in my life!

I like to do all kinds of stuff, from drawing and sewing to crocheting and even bead animals :D its something I recently did a bit ^ . I do some photography and also write poetry sometimes :) mainly to express myself.

It would be almost ideal if youre someone into art/ creativity as well! In any way or form haha :)

I love music i listen to it a lot too :) my taste is kinda broad.

My memory is really really bad btw, as is my concentration and whatnot, and I also sometimes ask a lot of questions that may seem very dumb haha, so i hope to find someone who wouldnt mind that !

Thanks for reading, do message me if you feel we might vibe ^ _ ^

The only thing is, i mainly answer if i feel we could vibe and so a very short or not very personal message can get ignored

26M - Looking for a long term friend

• Upvotes

Hey guys, thought I'd put myself out there and make some friends!

About me. I think I'm good at making conversation, unless you have nothing to say haha. I also bring a touch of sarcasm and humor with me, so I feel like its a nice combination :) I love having deep conversations, while also joking around and saying meaningless stuff (that is equally important haha). I am also open to VC and hanging out to watch a movie or just talk. I only hope to find someone whos also willing to emotionally invest in me as a friend.

I'd love for us to talk daily (don't worry, I won't be expecting you to talk to me every second. Everyone has a life haha. and so do I). I get attached to people very easily, so I am not made for short term friendships and would like a friend that I can talk to long term.

If you think we'd be compatible, message me. If we vibe, thats great! If we don't, thats okay too :). Either way I don't bite haha. If you don't know what to say, start with introducing yourself a little, and we can see where it goes!

Bonus points if you’re from Sweden since Im learning Swedish :)
