Support Looking for a genuine female best friend to share life’s burdens and little joys with, every single day. 18M btw

1 Upvotes

Hey
I am just looking for a genuine female best friend Someone I can talk to every day without feeling like I am bothering them and someone who feels the same with me
Life gets heavy sometimes and I think it becomes a little easier when you have one person you can share everything with The random updates the late night conversations the overthinking the excitement over small things the endless yapping and just knowing someone is there
I really miss the kind of friendship you see in those wholesome Instagram reels where two people are always checking in on each other supporting each other and making each others day a little better I want something like that where we both can be ourselves without pretending to be someone else
A little about me i am pursuing BTech in CSE am from India 18M I am an ambivert I love peaceful vibes beaches music and simple conversations I am not expecting perfection just someone who genuinely wants to build a real friendship and is willing to put in the same effort
If you think we would get along feel free to send me a message Maybe this could turn into one of those friendships that lasts for years

I never had any real friends in real life I have always felt lonely.

In school I had some so called friends, have you listened that everyone's friend is no one's friend just like that I talk to people but i don't have anyone to get things off from my chest

When i was a kid my parents used to live in rented houses and they used to move a lot and the more a grew up the hard it became to make friends in new societies

Now after turning 18 it feels impossible to make friends everyone has a friend they have since a decade but i don't have anyone 😞.

Would anyone like to be my friend please be around 18 to 27.

Friendship Looking for a long term friendship. Would you be my friend?

1 Upvotes

Hello. I am looking for a long-lasting friendship. I am looking to have deep and intimate conversations with a friend like you. What I want, no, what I need, is to have a shoulder to lean on.

I am writing this post with you in mind. You, who are seeking to have deep and intimate conversations with someone. You, who are tired of the banality of everyday life, you whose nobody bothers to ask beyond the usual things you are tired of hearing and answering for so long. You, who spend sleepless nights answering the troubling questions of your life. You who would confide in me your world, dreams, and fears, freely and wholeheartedly, and would listen to mine with the same passion and interest. I am writing this post to you: a mature and dependable person who is imperfect just as I am.

Help me become a better person. I need to be pushed sometimes. Sometimes, leaving a pawn to a friend like you could help me go further. I want you to help me understand myself; I need an extra pair of everything to recognize myself. I need you to be patient and understanding with me because I am a profoundly flawed person. Help me dream and see possibilities I can't comprehend now. I want you to know that everything that I am asking of you, I am willing to do for you.

A word or two about me. I am quite an emotional being. I have very few social skills. I am a good listener. I love good books, movies, strange music, and poetry.

P.S. I am looking to befriend people from Europe, for time's reason, and older than 23. I take pride in being polite and kind to my friends, and we would never meet in person, under any circumstances. Thank you!

M22 | Heart: broken. Sense of humor: somehow still alive.

Hey! I'm just looking for some genuine people to talk to. Life's been a little rough lately, and after going through a heartbreak, I've realized how much I miss having meaningful conversations and good company. I'm not looking for therapy or pity—just real friends who enjoy talking about anything, whether it's random thoughts at 2 a.m., funny memes, music, movies, life, deep conversations, or just checking in on each other.🥹

I'm 22 (M), and I'm happy to chat with anyone who's 18+—age doesn't really matter to me as long as you're kind and enjoy good conversation. If you're looking for a friendship that lasts longer than a few messages, my DMs are open. Let's help make each other's days a little less lonely.🤗

18F It feels like everywhere i go ill never find people. People who literally chat shit abt eachother r close, they choose eachother over me i dont understand. Is there some social queues or anything im actualy missing out that everyone can see but me? Do i talk to much or talk at the wrong times? It seems like friendship comes so easy to everyone but me. People can literally be worse people and have people to defend their actions. I just feel so stupid i wish someone could just tell me whats wrong with me so i could fix it

1 Upvotes

Hi. I've been here for a long time and I'm looking for a long-term friend to chat with daily. We don't always have to chat; sometimes we can go weeks without chatting. There can be times when we just don't want to chat. But no friendship should end because of silence. Getting to know someone and becoming friends requires effort, and I'm ready to put in that effort. Don't hesitate to message me. Have a good day....

​​​I've always been intrigued of what life is like in other countries. And one of the things I've always dreamed of is having a real friend from other countries! I'm from the Philippines and I'M BEGGING FOR AN INTERNATIONAL FRIEND. ​I have no idea why I'm asking now when I'm currently buried in school works lol. Maybe because I feel bad for dumping messages on one of my friends haha.

I'm fine with any age n' gender as long as they are kind and can be friends with preferably ✨forever ✨👹.

I'm fine with any age cuz the more diversed they are from me the more I'm interested about their life experiences.

Interests: Writing, drawing, reading manga (sometimes manhwa), foreign stuff, photography.

Games: Honkai Star Rail. ​

Me love fluffy cats, that include tigers 🐅🐯.

I like looking at beautiful things from my phone may it be from art, flowers, scenery, and then sulk that I'm not experiencing it myself...​​

I'm the type of person that would want to stay hopeful no matter what. No matter how crushing life is 💪. Don't get me wrong tho, I always feel hopeless... It's like a cycle.

And I can't promise that I'll always respond 24/7 bc I've finally been focusing on my works and from acads. Though I'll still happily and gladly make sure to message you! I have my guilt and overthinkingness to make sure I don't let you go easily. But ofc it would be fun chatting someone who's not from my country. ​

And finally I believe I'm very bad at articulating hence the structure of my post Ahahaha.

Friendship How do you actually go from strangers to friends... and maybe something more?

1 Upvotes

I’m a 21-year-old Chinese immigrant who recently moved to the US. When I first came here, I thought the hardest part would be language. I didn’t realize the hardest part would be knowing who actually wants to know me.

I’ve always believed relationships should start as friendships, so I tried to meet people naturally. But since I didn’t have a social circle here, I started using dating apps to meet new people. The first few experiences honestly messed with my confidence. I met someone who seemed genuinely interested in being friends first. We talked a lot, shared personal stories, and I thought I finally found someone I could trust. But after a while, I realized they only contacted me when they needed attention or were bored. When I stopped initiating conversations, the friendship basically disappeared.

That experience made me question my own judgment. Maybe I was too eager to find connections that I ignored obvious signs. So I started using AI to help me filter people. I uploaded conversations and basic information into Accio Work (a tool I already use for work) and used its sourcing feature to create a “Friend/Date Scorecard” based on things like communication consistency, effort, lifestyle, and social circle. The weird part is… it actually pointed out patterns I missed. Some people sounded great, but their actions didn’t match.

Now I’m wondering: am I just using AI as a tool to avoid wasting time, or am I becoming someone who needs an algorithm to decide who is worth getting close to?

Friendship Anyone want to be friends?

2 Upvotes

21 F | I’m feeling quite bored these past few months. Anyone willing to be friends and do some things together?

I tend to play some games (Roblox, Minecraft, Sausage Man, Heartopia) before but not that much now. Roblox is the only thing left alive for me to play sometimes to pass some time, but it doesn’t last long cause it then gets boring. So right now, I’m trying to alternate watching some ytbers (specifically Kubz Scouts), series, movies, anime, etc, and playing, depending on what works on my boredom.

One thing about me would be I might be quite awkward to talk to. I don’t really talk to other people much, which is why I’m trying to learn and improve in that criteria. But one thing I’ve noticed about myself is if I feel comfortable enough, I will be talkative.

I’ve seen some people do these kind of things, so I decided to also try it out. No creeps pls… I hope to spend some time with you!

Advice How do people make friends on Discord?

1 Upvotes

I listen to a podcast that has a Patreon discord that I have access to. On the pod the host always talk about how great the discord is. I’ve never really interacted with discord before so I’m not that familiar with it.

My main concern is how do you make friends? From what I’ve seen discord seems like a twitch chat, so how do you get to know people? This podcast server I’m part of seems like the perfect place but I don’t know how. Any advice would be great!

Friendship Make a friend

2 Upvotes

Ok so I’ve tried this multiple times but kept deleting it due to my ocd. I haven’t had a friend in five years. I’m 16M. I find people my age to be walking peanuts and not worth my time. I’m rather intelligent for my age.

I’m trans and I have OCD and an extreme amount of anxiety. But I do have a personality and I find it irritating when people make their gender, sexuality, and mental illness their personality.

Part of me doesn’t want friends but I know it’s healthy to communicate and I also just want friends like the marauders.

I like to be silly and I also like be serious. I like having deep conversations about politics but I also like asking silly questions like “what dinosaur would win in a fight”. I can be moody and I have a low self esteem but also a god complex. I like painting and drawing seeing as it runs in my family and I connect with it.

List of likes:
Hannibal series
Sherlock bbc
One piece
M/M romance only
Supernatural
Good omens
Lotr
Harry Potter
Cryptids
Art
M/M books

Artists I like:
Marina
Michael Jackson
Queen
Marylin Manson
Insane clown posse
Cypress hill
Childish gambino
Elton John

Dislikes:
Racism
Homophobia
Transphobia
Misogyny
War
Dumb excuses

I’ve been feeling a little lonely lately. I live in Columbus OH and I’m 21M , I don’t really have anyone I could call a “friend” where I live. I moved here some time ago, but it’s been difficult finding someone who would actually stick around and become a close friend.
I like movies (I go to the theater a lot lol), gaming, and just hanging out. I’d really like to meet some people and hopefully make a genuine friendship.

Friendship How to make friends in your 20’s

1 Upvotes

I (20) have always struggled to make friends. In grade school I jumped from friend group to friend group trying to fit in, I made absolutely no friends in high school, and I struggle to keep a friendship going once a make a new one.

I have had the same friend group for a while, but we have grown apart significantly in the past few years, and we rarely see each other. I want to experience going to bars/clubs, traveling, trying new things, fully living my 20’s. They’re not so into that type of thing (which is totally understandable), but it has made it difficult to make group plans with our different ideas of fun.

Aside from our interests, we still enjoy each others company, but making plans is like pulling teeth. Someone works and can’t take it off, someone doesn’t have a ride, someone doesn’t have money, someone says yes and cancels 5 minutes before, stuff like that.

I don’t want to stop being friends with them, but it’s clear we have outgrown each other, like people do. And I need friends that I can see more than once every 2 months and friends that are willing to share my interests. I have one other friend who I get along great with (not in the friend group) but she has many other friends, and I feel embarrassed that she is the only consistent friend I have while she has plenty of friends to spare. She also is a busy person and is somewhat difficult to make plans with.

I know this post was a bit scattered, but I feel hopeless. I am the most socially awkward and anxious person in existence, and I feel like every person I meet thinks I’m weird or off. I just want a group of girls to have over for face masks and a movie, go shopping at the mall, spend the night getting ready and going to a bar, lunch at some cute restaurant, do feminine girly things with. I feel like I’m missing out on sooo much especially at this age.

Vent i can’t make friends

i’ve tried so hard. i’ve joined dozens of discord servers. answered dozens of DMs on reddit. and still i am here, all alone. a lot of men reach out and make me feel uncomfortable or my boundaries are not respected by them. a lot of people are dry. i cannot find people with some common hobbies/interests. maybe it’s me? maybe i’m too picky? but i feel like the bar is reasonable; act interested. we put in equal effort and time for each other. we share our lives with each other. and we try to do stuff with each other to bond.

i am so sad :C

It's been a long time I tried to make new friends but I always back away due to the fear of being rejected and abandoned again for being " too different " to the point I suffer in silence when my family ask me if I am fine and I hide my pain by lying so they wouldn't be worried about me and leave me alone.

I am usually very active on Discord even if I become completely silent with my rare close friends... I wanna express a lot of stuff don't share with some close friends because I am completely afraid they will abandon me like the old ones...

If you have the time and patience to read me, let me know. (Even if my english isn't so great honestly, I am still learning due to my native language being french)

Friendship 21M CA -daily-ish chats?

1 Upvotes

Hi, basically I remembered that I've been socially isolated for like almost 2 years and now I figure its time to try talking to people.

Let's see, I like manga, vtubers, recently watching jp vtubers and jp manga cause I'm studying Japanese. I play some video games (and watch steamers play them) got into baking recently but it's been super hot so I stopped for a bit。

ー Long story short, I just want to chat with someone on like an almost daily basis. I don't reallllly remember too much how chatting like this works but I've done it before with my old best friend so it'll work out. I might be awkward and anxious but I do want to talk with people for what that's worth. And I guess don't be afraid to reach out? Since I sort of don't know what I'm doing I can't really expect a 10/10 conversation always so just try to be genuine and I will too?

OH also timezone is pst so try to be close to mine if you could

Support 24 - I need a friend. So lonely and empty

2 Upvotes

Had a breakup recently and honestly haven't been feeling great. Everything feels a bit off lately. I'm also planning to move to Europe in the future, so it'd be nice to meet people from there too.

Lately everything feels a bit too quiet in the wrong ways. I keep catching myself staring at walls, scrolling aimlessly, wanting to talk but not knowing who to talk to. I'm just looking for someone real. Someone who actually shows up. Someone who doesn't disappear when things get quiet.

I'm 24, currently floating through life with way too much time to think. I love yapping. I talk nonsense, I overexplain, I ramble until it somehow turns into something deeper. I love when the effort is mutual, when replies don't feel like I'm begging for attention.

Please don't be dry. Try to talk. If you're always busy, please don't bother texting. I've done my time with people who only remember me when they're bored.

I like baking, movies, gaming, chess, reading, writing, guitar, long walks, voice calls, and pretending I'll ever finish half the things I start.

Mentally, I come with the ADHD + BPD expansion pack, clingy DLC included, but also a lot of warmth, honesty, and way too much empathy for my own good. I'll listen, I'll care, and I'll match your energy.

If your first message is just "hi", I'll assume you're not real. Give me a proper intro. Tell me about yourself, your favorite thing to do, your most irrational fear, the song that ruins you every time, or literally anything that feels genuine.

It could be deep conversations, intersting stories or anything as simple as talking about your day and what did you do in it or what did you eat.

I am interested in stuff related to gym and sports in general, video games, Manga and anime.

I enjoy talking about philosophical topics too.

I spend a lot of hours talking about my day and issues to chat gpt.. and im starting to feel that its unhealthy, so why not attempt to make real friends.
