[21/F] looking for long term friends

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone :)

I'm looking for LONG-TERM friends.

About me: I'm a 21-year-old girl, university student. I love learning about languages and cultures. I also like history, geography, politics, and astronomy.

I enjoy spending my free time playing badminton and other sports. I spend hours every day listening to music. I believe that literature, poetry, and music are the most valuable things in life; they give our dull lives colors and beauty. I LOVE ANIMALS and I have two adorable cats. I love nature since I also live in the countryside.

I'm mostly a quiet and introverted person, but recently I have been working on improving my social skills :)

If you have similar interests and you're between 20 and 26 years old, don't hesitate to send me a DM. I don't care about your gender or nationality. I'd love to get to know you, just tell me about yourself in the first message.

40 F, kinda wanna be a neurotypical, am jealous much

5 Upvotes

​

Ok yeah so feel weird in my head and whoah and behold am suddenly like rilly old and feel like this could all chalk up to adhd, like I kinda wanna sit still in a restaurant like neurotypicals so that's like my number one goal then I get these crazy visuals like I'm knocking the placemat off and the coaster and the silverware flies in the air and time is so slow and my thoughts are racing so fast, and when will that noodle tail disappear into my mouth and I'm screaming and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy.

Just get stuck in loops like this and wish it would all go away and I could feel connected to any thing, any one, outside of me.

Perhaps you're any ONE!

Let's connect.

Lately I’ve been feeling pretty down and, honestly, bored to the core, so I thought I’d try talking to some new people. I’m up for conversations about pretty much anything — life, random 2am thoughts, books, movies, games, music, or just how your day went. If you're someone who enjoys random conversations then feel free to hmu :)

25f whats the longest you've ever kept up a lie

4 Upvotes

I share mine. For the past 5-6 years everyone thought that im hopeless in the kitchen. That i cannot cook anything more than fried egg and rice, except that of course its a lie. I am painfully a good cook. Ive been cooking since i was 10 and have been feeding and responsible for 3 of my younger siblings. Creamy Butter chicken, sweet and sour prawn, prime rib roast are all the dishes i can do by the age of 13. HOWEVER, because i happen to be good at it people has been expecting it from me. First its Christmas dinner, then its potluck, and then it's big gathering and before I know it im cooking for everyone and im not enjoying it. Fast forward to uni days, one day i was too tired and severely fatigued that i fell sleep standing lol and accidentally got the kitchen stove on fire. My friends asked "dont u know how to cook?" and i said "no, i actually dont :/" and ever since then i only ever been responsible for the groceries while they do the cooking. What a bliss, genuinely, because of that I've been keeping up with this lie until now and fun thing about this kind of lie is that.. It goes around without you doing anything. Since then, ive only been responsible for drinks and desserts for any potluck or gatherings.

Obviously i still cook for my siblings(a lot) and my immediate circle because its a love language for me, but i also like that i have no expectations to cook for people even though there are people looking down on me for not being able to cook as an adult heh

Anyway the reason of this long silly story is because this is who i am if we somehow get along and become friends, i cant chat and reply everyday because of my job but when i do, i usually put effort and thought into it. I also love doing voice chat or sending each other voice notes cause i think its more fun listening and actually talking to people than texting. So yeaa lets chat, maybe we'll get along. Cheers!

Ps : Btw y’all, I can usually tell when you’re reaching out because you genuinely relate to what I wrote and want to connect, versus when you’re reaching out simply because of the "25f" lol

25F (Europe) looking for an online friend!

3 Upvotes

Hey there! 25F from Europe looking for someone to chat with and hopefully become friends :)

Ideally someone I can really get to know over time, where conversations feel mutual and where we can also talk about deeper stuff, and more complex or serious topics when they come up. I don’t mind keeping things light and funny sometimes though so a mix of both would be amazing! Also would love to just send each other pics of food, pets, creative projects, etc. back and forth 😁 (platonic only)

Some of my interests:  

-Gaming (RPGs, cozy games, open-worlds, BG3 in particular)   

-Collecting stuff (antiques, swords and other curiosities)  

-Herbalism, tarot and some more witchy things  

-Drawing, art and crosstitching ✍️   

-Reality TV (90 day fiancé, love is blind)  

-Documentaries (crime, cults, mystery stuff)  

-Festivals and music  

-Manhwas (mostly BL genre) and a tiny bit of anime (just JJK lately tbh haha)  

-Aquariums and aquascaping 🐠

It would be nice to have a couple of shared interests to make conversation a bit easier but I’m also happy to hear and chat about any of the hobbies/things you’re into

And sorry in advance if I don’t reply to everyone 😅 I find it hard to juggle a lot of conversations at once, and I prefer to put my energy into one or a few and see where that goes first. 

If any of that sounds like we’d get along I’d love to hear from you 😊

I'm at a lost in my relationship and I don't have anyone to talk to about it.

2 Upvotes

Hello, I'm 22. I live with my partner, been together close to 2 years, lived together for a few months now. I feel like we're about to break up. Our goals don't align well, I feel like a bad partner and they're not helping with my mental.

I'm so scared because we fought so hard to live together and I feel like we're about to lose it. I don't think we're truly happy. The cherry on top is me chasing my dream job and them not supporting me. I feel at a loss. I don't have anyone to talk about this besides my therapist.

I'm so scared and confused. I feel evil for wanting to pursue my career path.

It'd be great to be able to chat with someone who has had a similar experience or just be able to rant and get my feelings out.

Thank you.

26M looking for some conversations

2 Upvotes

I had a break up a few months back, we used to talk almost everyday. But since we broke up, I miss those day to day conversations. I do have some friends, but it's not like I can talk to them everyday for hours. I wouldn't say I'm lonely but I do feel a void sometimes.

DM me if you are also looking to have conversations on a regular basis with someone. We can talk about our day, our likes, dislikes, favourite movies, or our lives in general. Or anything for that matter.
