not ai 26f looking for nerdy friends

• Upvotes

not looking to edate! i just don't have irl friends anymore and am starting from scratch with online friends first.

i think it's very hard to make online friends without a common interest, so i'll share some of mine incase anyone here is into the same things: drawing, music specifically black metal, reading, old movies, and video games (league aram, path of titans, don't starve, and when it comes to singleplayer games mostly pokemon and dark souls, sometimes indie games as well). hmu!


r/Needafriend • • 2h ago

Feeling a little affection starved right now, anyone wanna yap?

4 Upvotes

Gonna say, my luck on this subreddit has not been the greatest. I get maybe 1 or 2 DMs. Kinda sucky if you ask me. I don’t like to seem desperate or anything like that, but is anyone willing to talk? I don’t care about age or gender. I honestly like talking to people older than me sometimes, adults have always loved me for some reason. I’m 18 btw, a boy of course lol. Come get to know me, I’m a worthwhile guy!

Is anyone else just tired of small talk

15 Upvotes

I feel like every new interaction just stops at the surface level. People ask about work or the weather and that's it. I miss having deep conversations about anything and everything. It's like no one wants to go past the polite pleasantries anymore.

M21 - Talking to prople is hard... Let's change that!

• Upvotes

​

Hey!

Do only I get the feeling that maintaining online conversations is harder than it seems?

Well, night's still Young, why not tell some random online stranger what's on Your mind, eh?

When it comes to me, I'm much into sports, I like cycling, running, swimming, ice skating, rollerblading, airsoft and probably more. Not like I am pro at any of those things, I just like trying out new stuff and staying active. Ngl finding people with similar mindset is not easy, especially in real life...

Bonus points if You like hiking, I love doing that, show me some of Your photos from the trail

Also I'm more of a listiner, so if You're a yapper that's apperciated. I swear, just don't, please don't be a dry texter. Don't just leave 'hi' in my DMs. Short introduction goes a long way, I'd love to get to know You better!

Thx for reading my post, carry on XX

[M30] If the silence is a little too loud this Saturday night, my door is open

• Upvotes

The French writer Jacques Attali once said that the true sickness of our time isn't a lack of resources, but the explosion of loneliness right in the middle of all the noise.

Saturday nights have a strange way of amplifying that contrast. Between the people going out and the quiet of a living room, a heavy day or a drop in mood can quickly feel overwhelming when you don't have anyone to talk to without a filter.

I’m 30, living in France, and I work in healthcare, having spent some of my most formative years in the ER. Working in a hospital taught me one essential thing: behind every face is a story, invisible wounds, and often, just a fundamental need to be heard without judgment or pretending.

I’m not selling anything, I’m not trying to play internet therapist, and there are zero hidden motives here.

If you’re going through a rough patch, if you need to get something off your chest, talk about your day, or just chat about nothing in particular with someone who genuinely cares, my DMs are open.

Take care of yourselves tonight ☀️

Looking for a genuine friendship that feels like family ❤️

• Upvotes

Hi everyone! ❤️

I'm a 26-year-old woman from Tunisia and I'd love to meet some kind people from different parts of the world.

I'd really like to find someone I can talk to comfortably about pretty much anything, from how our day went to our interests, dreams, cultures, or even the most random things that make us laugh. 😊

I'm hoping to find a friendship that grows naturally over time, maybe even one that feels like having a brother or sister on the other side of the world, someone who's kind, honest and interested in getting to know each other beyond just a few conversations.

I'm not looking for anything romantic, just a genuine friendship where we can be ourselves, share life's little moments and support each other when we need it.

I know lasting friendships take time to build and I'm happy to let things develop naturally, if this sounds like the kind of friendship you'd enjoy too, feel free to message me! ❤️

M31 UK - Do you seek the company of others so you don't have to be alone with your thoughts?

2 Upvotes

I'm curious how many others do this.  And I'm not just implying bad thoughts either, far from it.  Perhaps you're just loud brained.  Maybe you're always mulling something over?  Do cringeworthy memories of your youth return at random?  Maybe you think about people you used to know, or things you said or did or that you wished you said or did.  Lives you could have led or that you want to lead.

A bit about me:

  • British, married, straight
  • Kind, stoic, curious and non-judgemental
  • Unapologetically geeky
  • Mediocre blues guitarist
  • My garden is my kingdom
  • Something of a scientist myself
  • Watcher of snooker
  • Reluctant gym goer
  • J'apprend le francais tres lentement
  • Chronically on Reddit 
  • I hate fascists

I'm open to people from all over the world, and for those of you lucky enough to share an island with me I'm even open to meeting if we're close enough and we make good friends (though this is by no means a requirement, I have done it before and made a couple of lasting friends).  

All I ask is that you are also kind, curious and willing to put a little effort in.  If you ghost me, I'm not going to chase you - I have too much self-respect for that.  

If you think we could get on then please reach out and introduce yourself by answering the question: what's your toxic trait?

25f, looking for a best friend or two

3 Upvotes

aaaa this is a long shot but here it goes.

well, about me, i’m an introvert person who has no time to socialize due to work and studies, and my other friends are busy. and even if i do have time, i feel anxious T-T (anxiety people tingz)

i’d love to find someone here who wants to talk about anything and everything. honestly, it doesn’t even matter whether we have something in common or not. i just want us both to talk about our days, be humorous and lame, have profound convos, talk about our interests, etc.

as for my interests… i love reaction images and brainrot memes. i'm into 373839 stuff like science, space, kpop, anime, webcomics, movies and shows, cooking/baking, music, animals, video games, drawing, mcu, pop culture, and anything that's quirky or humorous. currently, the only fixation i have is genshin impact and i'd love to discuss it. oh and i’m south asian, if that even matters.

i loveee hearing stories. maybe we can bond over your lore? tell me about the time you saw a bug that scared the hell outta you, something that caught your attention or made you smile, or about your downright dumb decisions. (they're not rhetorical questions, you can answer them if you feel like it). i will share my stupidest stories too.

random question:

something random that happened to you this week that you'd love to share?

oh and i want to add one thing. i want a platonic friend. nothing nsfw or fwb type of situation. nor do i want someone to approach me while hoping that things may develop into something more, it won’t. i genuinely just want a friend.

i hope things are well on the other side, stranger. i'll be looking forward to whatever you want to say :]

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.
