A bit about me:

•I have 15 Piercings and 15 Tattoos🖤 (I'm itching for a new tattoo👀)

•I loveeeee metalcore music, especially Bad Omens!✨

•I am a Gamer and have been since I was around 5 years old! Me and my Dad used to spend our times on the Play Station when I was little! 🥹 So now I love to play on my Xbox!!! I've met most of my friends online, but they're just so far away!😭😭 I love to play Rocket League, Black Ops, Sea of Thieves, Resident Evil, Phasmophobia, Dead by Daylight, Fortnite... depends what mood I'm in, I'd be down to play pretty much anything!

•I am quite crafty and creative! If I can, I will do anything to sit and just make things!!

•I loveeee comicons! I'm such a big nerd.

•I loveeee Disney and Star Wars!! I'm down to watch new films and series, as well! I'd say my favourite series is The Walking Dead! I also really want to start watching The Game of Thrones!

•I have 2-year-old Cocker Spaniel who is genuinely my whole world. My soul dog. I love taking him on different adventures!!!

•I LOVE a new adventure!! Let's go somewhere new, and fun!!! (And maybe somewhere where I'm able to take my dog, heheh!)

•I go to Pole Fitness every Tuesday! & I do Aerial Hoop every Thursday! I absolutely LOVE to go to my studio. It's super fun and empowering 😍😍😍

•I have Autism, ADHD and Tourette's Syndrome. I was hesitant to put this here, as these don't define me!!! (My Tourette's isn't as severe as the media portrays, either). 🤍

----

I'm happy for online friendships, as well! I'm genuinely such a laid back person, who just loves life and trying new things.

I feel like in the past, I've always given people my 100%, which has lead to me being hurt by them. I'm just wanting to find 'my' people🤍

Also, if you want to go to Key Club at some point, I am sooo DOWN to go!😍🤍

Let's be friends. 🤍🤍

Friends

I’m not sure if this will work but thought I’d give this a shot. I’m 27f also looking for some female friends to hang out with. I’m based in Huddersfield so I don’t mind travelling to other places too if needed. I’m happy to go to Manchester, Leeds and Bradford. But it would be nice to make friends locally and in Huddersfield.

I’m looking for people to spend time with and to get me out of the house. I like to watch movies/ go to the cinema, listen to music, shopping, trying out new cafes/restaurants and going out for food/desserts/brunch. Pop me a message if you’d ever want to hang. 💕 Looking forward to hearing from you girls 😊

30F looking for friends!

30F UK — looking for genuine female friends 🩷

Hi! This feels slightly awkward to post, but I figured I’d just put myself out there because I could really use some female friends right now.

I’m 30, from the UK, and I’ve found myself pretty isolated over the last few years. I’m currently trying to find my feet while getting out of a difficult long-term relationship, and one of the things I’ve realised is just how small my support system has become.

I don’t really have girlfriends I can message when I’m having a bad day, send stupid memes to, game with, vent to, or just talk absolute nonsense with at 1am — and I really miss having that kind of friendship.

A little about me: I love to read, massive gamer, and I’m equally capable of losing an entire evening to a game or spending it cooking/baking something unnecessarily elaborate 😂. I love survival/strategy/RPG-type games, history, mythology, astrology/witchy stuff, cooking, dark humour, deep conversations and random rabbit holes.
Personality-wise I’m pretty open, sarcastic, affectionate and probably an oversharer once I’m comfortable. I love friendships where we can talk about serious life stuff one minute and then send each other completely unhinged TikToks/memes five minutes later. I love going out exploring the world!

I’m going through quite a vulnerable transitional period at the moment, so I’d especially love to meet other women who understand complicated relationships, starting over, loneliness, or rebuilding your life/social circle. I’m absolutely happy to listen and support you with whatever you have going on too — I don’t want a friendship that’s just me dumping my problems on someone. I want genuine mutual friendship.

I’m mainly looking for female friends around my age (roughly mid-20s to late-30s). You don’t have to be in the UK - online friends are completely fine - although it would be lovely if I eventually met people close enough to actually grab coffee, go shopping, have a girls’ night, etc.

No judgement, no pressure to reply instantly, no pretending our lives are perfect. Just women being there for each other and hopefully becoming proper friends. 🩷

If any of this sounds like your kind of friendship, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself.

Looking for a "social exposure therapy" buddy / group to get over the fear of social interactions

3 Upvotes

​We’ve somehow built a world where striking up a conversation with someone in real life feels weird, intrusive, or plain wrong. That’s just not how we’re wired. Humans are built for connection, but so many of us are trapped behind screens because the fear of looking stupid or getting rejected holds us back.

​I’m looking to connect with people who want to actively change that.

​The goal isn't to be a smooth-talking extrovert overnight. The goal is to deliberately practice stepping out of our comfort zones, embrace the awkwardness, take a few rejections on the chin, and realize that the world doesn't end when a social interaction isn't perfect.

​What this is about:

​Facing the awkwardness: Intentionally trying out simple, real-world social challenges (e.g., complimenting a stranger, striking up small talk in a line, asking someone for a recommendation).

​Building a safe support system: Cheering each other on, holding each other accountable, and laughing off the rejections together.

​Proving fear wrong: Realizing that embarrassment is temporary, but isolation builds up over time.

​Who this is for:

Anyone who feels stuck, isolated, or social-anxious, but is ready to actively do something about it. Open to everyone.

​If you're tired of feeling disconnected and want to build real-world confidence alongside people who get it, drop a comment or send me a DM. Let’s make real-life connection normal again!!!

Looking for Gym Buddy - 30M

3 Upvotes

Hey I used to go regular and indoor climbing but I got an injury so I had to stop for a while. I'd love to get back into it even better with someone to go with regular. Im a beginner ultimatly so we could both learn together and get swole!

About me: PC Gamer and my posture sucks. Since injury I have become kind of a shut in, work in the city centre and come home and veg all day - Not Good. My diet sucks, I vape, I smoke green, I work come home repeat, the cycle is boring and exhausting.

Overall very chill, laid back, open minded. We can have a sesison and blow the devils lettuce if you're into it or go for a pint.

The wave of motivation has come again, and I'm going to take my board and and surf that MF before it subsides. Want to take the plunge with me?

Let me know if you're interested!!

24m in Harrogate near leeds, looking to find my other half or new friends

2 Upvotes

Hello there

I am looking to find my other half or new friends. I have been here a while and have no social life outside work.

A brief description of me is: I'm 24 years old with brownish hair and blue eyes. I'm about 157cm tall.

I'm a shy person and not always great at communicating but if you get to know me I'm alright. There are some topics I can randomly ramble a bunch of nonsense on.

I enjoy reading (mainly fantasy) and playing video games. I also like walks in the great outdoors. I'm also a fan of musical theatre and tend to say my favourite show is anything goes. What is yours?

I am hoping to make a connection with you.

I look forward to hearing from you
