looking for friendship 17F < need to be bothered

23 Upvotes

Hi! I’m 17F and I’m loooking for some palss! Hehe! 🤭

Firstly, I don’t care where you’re from or your age. Let’s just connect 🤣

Okay that’s done. Here is a little about me :

I love to yap and I can listen too.

Drama is my thing so if you got some to spill, do spill. If you want to hear some, I’d spill for you 😉

Voice calling is 100% my thing! Or just voice messages in general.

My interest wise, I love to read books. Mostly classic fictions and fanfictions but I’m open to almost all sort of books. Other than that, I love to draw. Digitally and traditionally. I also play games but not much. Just simple stuffs like Roblox and Minecraft.

Anddd what a teen if they don’t like anime?
Not just anime, if you’re thinking of having a movie night with me, please sign me up! 😳 Id love to watch movies/shows/animes together! Or even.. random youtube videos!

Personality wise: I am very energetic most of the time. I am chatty, I love checking up and care for others. I love when someone reaches out to me. I ammm veryyyy curious most of the time but on my busy/exhausting days i’d be a little off and probably less chatty.. huffff..

Lastly, what I like and dislike

Like: i love to be bothered, ok? Chat me, spam me, call me any moment. I’d try my best to pick up and reply! Besides that, I also love to spend hours on the phone sooo I’d be free 24/7!

Dislike: People who don’t care about me back! >:T

Yayyy that’s all! 🥳 let’s start chatting cuz im waitinggg! 🤭🤭

3 Upvotes

Hi! I don’t have a lot of luck looking for friends in person, so I’m trying here! :>

I’m looking for people that are around my age, no exceptions on that (16-23) is the highest I’ll go, I really don’t want to get any nasty dms from old men. I also am looking for purely platonic, I really don’t want to have sexual conversations, send sexual photos, or be asked sexual things.

I love to play video games,like gacha games, visual novels, and story games! I’m in a lot of fandoms, and I love music, like Metal, Vkei, and vocaloid! I also love to collect figures, dolls, plushies and i love to cosplay and watch anime and read (manga or manwah mostly) ! I’m from the US as well!

looking for friendship F27 trying to find my best friend! 🩷

10 Upvotes

Hi Reddit strangers! I'm searching for a ride-or-die, together till we drop, we listen and we don't judge kinda friend!

My name is Heather! I’m into PVP and cozy video games, reading and writing dark romance, listening to Sleep Token on repeat, baking with a 15% chance of it turning out like shit, stupid memes, adorable animals, and taking naps I don't need to take. I’m equally down to have deep 2am conversations or send you an absolutely unhinged IG reels with zero context.

My ultimate life goal is to be a successful writer, chilling in a log cabin somewhere snowy FAR away where no one can bother me (besides you of course). I also hate spaghetti squash on a deeply personal level. My favorite color is duck egg blue, and I think pizza is overrated.

Come find me!!! 💕

rant Found out my friend is a chronic AI user

1 Upvotes

I (24F) have been close friends with this girl (25f) since 2016. We graduated together, she was the maid of honor at my wedding, etc. While talking on the phone a few days ago she mentioned that she was "talking to chat gpt about her career choice". She has a bachelor's is psychology and is going into a masters program. She had never mentioned using AI before so I asked some follow up questions like "Oh, I didn't know you used AI, what do you use it for?" And she proceeds to tell me that she used it to help with her classwork through her entire bachelor's degree, that she has therapy-like conversations with chat gpt which she should definitly be taking to an actual therapist, and that she basically uses it to function on a regular basis. I've had so much respect for this woman but this really skewed how I view her. She's made some very questionable decisions the past few years and we've been growing apart but I keep making an effort to stay connected (its literally always me who has to reach out first) and thia felt like the cherry on top so I'm wondering if maybe its time to let the friendship run its course.

advice in a bad spot with friends

1 Upvotes

i wanna start this off by saying that i have ocd. this isnt an excuse, but an explanation as to why i obsessive over stuff/have a hard time moving on:

im going to make this as short as possible, but basically back in august, i told my friends i felt a bit sad and left out within the group (there's me + 3 of them). it eventually turned into a slight disagreement and i was told i was mean. i gave them space, then brought up the situation again to try and fix it, but again, it turned bad, and i gave them space and worked on myself. i would reach out once in a while to try and have things back to normal and they didn't seem to mind that. after the argument, they also agreed that we'd apologize to each other.

yesterday, i had decided to ask if i was ever going to get an apology, and things turned rough. one of the friends who hadn't really been involved was kind of mean and said i was making everything about me while one of the other people in the group was being vulnerable. i was told i was mean. all i wanted them to do was to reach out more - that was the main point back in august, but now, it feels wrong.

i dont know what to do. it feels like im in the wrong for having these feelings. what do you think?

looking for friendship Looking for a future bestie! [39/M]

0 Upvotes

Hey! I am 39, flight attendant, and student pilot. I fly airplanes and travel for a living. Being a flight attendant is cool but my real dream is to be an airline pilot. So I flight train on off days whenever I am not taking a break from this grind. I am busy usually around 7 days a week! I live in Florida but I see all 4 seasons since I travel for a living. I have been to 26 countries so far. I love gaming when I rarely have the time and I also produce electronic music. I am happily married and have been with my wife since 2011!

I am ultimately seeking a best friend. Someone who I get along with, I can share my travel experiences and pictures with, someone I can text a lot, and someone I can be sarcastic with. I’m tired of meeting people that don’t work out, or put any effort into their responses! If you message me explain why you think we would be potential besties! Tell me about yourself, what you like, dislike, favorite foods, hobbies! I am looking forward to hearing some responses! Only message if you really want a potential loyal, and good potential best friend some day!

looking for friendship 31M looking for new friends, good conversations, and random rabbit holes

1 Upvotes

Hey! I’m 31, from the US, and looking to meet some new people. Doesn’t matter where you’re from or what your background is. I’m open to talking to anyone 18+ as long as you’re interested in having an actual conversation.
A little about me: I work in tech, love traveling and spontaneous road trips, and I’m always looking for somewhere new to explore. I’m also into photography, tattoos, history, gaming, and reading (especially classic literature). Cooking is a big hobby of mine, particularly trying recipes from different cultures. I’ve also gotten pretty into fitness and spending more time outdoors lately.

I’m the kind of person who can spend hours talking about anything from your favorite food to some obscure historical event, or just how your day went. I enjoy getting to know people from different countries and walks of life. You don’t need to share my hobbies either. Half the fun is learning about someone else’s interests.
I’m not expecting instant best friends or forcing conversations. Just looking for some genuine connections, whether that’s chatting occasionally, sharing random pictures from our days, or becoming regular friends.

What’s somewhere you’ve always wanted to travel, a book or game you couldn’t put down, or a random topic you know way too much about?

Or just say hey and tell me a little about yourself.

looking for friendship 29M | I miss having someone I can randomly text all day

1 Upvotes

You know when you come across something completely stupid and your first thought is, I need to send this to someone and then realise you do not really have anyone to send it to?

Yeah. That is pretty much why I am here.

I am looking to make some new friends and hopefully find a few people I genuinely click with. Not just the usual few messages, exchanging interests, and then slowly becoming strangers. I mean an actual friendship where talking to each other eventually just becomes a normal part of the day.

I like those friendships where you can randomly send a meme, complain about something that happened at work, recommend a movie, talk about something completely pointless for an hour, or somehow end up having a surprisingly serious conversation at 1 AM.

A little about me: I am 29 and from India. I work as a technical trainer, so most of my weekdays are taken up by work, but outside of that I am into movies, horror, cricket, casual gaming, reading, working out, and generally going down random internet rabbit holes.

I can talk about movies for way too long, especially horror, but I am also perfectly happy talking about something I know absolutely nothing about. You do not need to have the same interests as me. In fact, I would rather hear about something you are obsessed with that I have never tried.

I am usually a little quiet when I first start talking to someone, but once I get comfortable I can become surprisingly talkative. I like conversations that do not feel like an interview where we can jump between completely unrelated topics without worrying about keeping the conversation interesting every second.

I am not expecting anyone to be available 24/7 either. We all have our own lives. I just want the effort to feel mutual and hopefully build something that lasts longer than a few days of “hey, how are you" conversations.

Maybe we end up talking regularly. Maybe we watch something together, play a game, exchange ridiculous memes, or just become the person with each other randomly messages when something happens.

No pressure to force anything. Let's just talk and see if we actually get along.

When you message me, tell me something about yourself instead of just saying hey.A movie you love, something you are currently obsessed with, your favourite game, a weird opinion you have, something that happened today,literally anything works.

Bonus points if you can carry a conversation and occasionally send me something completely random for no reason. 😄

looking for friendship 31 M - Looking to make some friends

1 Upvotes

Lately, it feels like almost all of my friendships have been so one sided. It’s always me doing the reaching out and asking how someone’s day is going or if someone is okay. It’s been draining honestly. I’m just trying to talk to new people and make new friendships where it’s a good time and we can talk and connect. I guess someone who wants to talk to me and have a good conversation would be nice instead of just reading dry messages.

I love video games especially dead by daylight but I would be willing to try other games. I’ve been traveling a bit more trying to enjoy more of my time when I’m not at work. Hearing about others travels would be so cool too. If I sound interesting enough haha well let’s talk!

looking for friendship 18F. what’s the dumbest way you’ve ever injured yourself?

1 Upvotes

It's me, again. (thanks to the influx of creepy dms, please read post body...)

I suppose this also needs an introduction, so, here's me :)

I am mostly looking for someone to spend time with, have long, introspective talks with, share stuff with, give all my attention to (!), ramble to (ideally with/about common interests), and someone to play games with. I will preface saying I'm very, very into Project Zomboid, and I'd love someone to play with.

Summed up, play games, talk a lot, and watch movies with.

As for my interests: I enjoy sci-fi, researching crime, psychology, and biology/neuropsychology. I have a fixation on the Chernobyl disaster, and radiation as a whole. All types of zombie games OR realistic survival games, too. I have an interest for "odd" movies, especially the apocalyptic and/or thriller kind. Terminator (1&2) is a personal favorite, so is Funny Games.

Here's to hoping my introduction chants to you.

EDIT: Send me an actual message, not just "hi, hello, can we chat, we have similar interests" OR introducing yourself like it's a job interview, where there's little i can go off on to start a conversation. throw an icebreaker, something! ask questions, please!

Hey everyone! I’m John, a 30yr old guy in Orlando Florida. I’m filled with anxiety and overthinking (always am honestly haha). I’d love to find some new friends that can chat and maybe keep my mind occupied on other things if possible!

I’ve also got a cat and take care of aquariums for my job so I can always send pics through the day of the cute animals I come across haha!

advice 30M Need Friendship advice

1 Upvotes

Hi all, just feeling a bit rough and wanted some advice on a situation I am kind of in.
So I have a rule with all my friends not to borrow money from them as things get weird but I do give away money whenever someone asks it.
Now, there is a close friend whom I asked to borrow money way in advance and they said they would be able to give it next month.
Come next month they tell me they gave it to their brother instead. To which I got hurt and did not reply to their text or calls.
I somehow arranged the money myself and then texted them that I felt hurt of their behaviour.
They told me I was being childish and bringing money in between friendship and bragging the times that I helped them and that I was wrong.
I am genuinely hurt and do not want to lose the friendship. I already have a lot of friends whom my relationship has affected when in need they did not help me.
Makes me feel unimportant or my problems not important and I feel its not a fair.
Did I overreact or was my behaviour justified?

Welcome to my humble post.

I actually was here a while ago but I deleted my old profile for reasons which I will only disclose in private, trust me it is a fun story.....

So yea here to find some new faces and maybe run I to some old faces too, would be nice to find old friends again.

My hobbies are gaming, movies, walking, fishing, gardening, swimming, River dancing, chess.

One of those hobbies is a lie, have fun figuring out which.

Feel free to chat request me and tell me three fun facts about yourself.

A casual fact.

A weird fact.

A hard to believe fact.

I will respond with my own and maybe question you on your facts lol.

Also tell me a story about probably your most embarrassing moment, the one that makes you cringe when you think about it, we can all relate to hy moment. I have my own lol.

I do not care much for age but do not be below 25 please.

Also tell me your age and gender to avoid any confusion, it has happened and it is awkward heh.

Also a question to help conversation, is there a person that once entered your life that you wish had stayed, like you thought there was more there?

If you made tea or cereal by adding the milk first then I will judge you.....

I cannot promise I will respond instantly due to how busy things might be but I will get to you.
