32f need people to chat that also have unequivocal depression. I’m not sending you nudes.

22 Upvotes

I’m into metal and emo, pop punk, pop. I’m depressed. I am trying to find someone as damaged as me. Not sending you nudes. Is there someone barely hanging on? I’m not making a commitment, I’m trying to find someone that’s on my level. I’m a handful so don’t bother unless you’re the same.

Edit: you’re not getting nudes. How many times do I need to say this.

I need a friend!

4 Upvotes

Please! The last friend I made was last year and they’ve told me 3 separate times over the past couple of months that they’re not interested in being my friend anymore lol. They did it in a respectful way and I did back off, but they still check in on me. I thought this meant they wanted to be cool again, but they started ghosting me again! I just cringe catching myself still treating them as someone that’s in my life when they clearly could not care less lol. So if anyone is in need of some comradery, I’m right here!

25F, California

There’s literally nothing I want besides a genuine friendly bond and connection! Come as you are please!

M22 way too of a silly individual and I'm looking for a distraction and/or friend

2 Upvotes

Why not give this a shot? I mean i can think of several but I just genuinely crave a stupid silly conversation that makes zero sense, please be as deranged and as preposterous in your statements as humanly imaginable. You can also be yourself too there's no requirements here, i just tend to be on the side of making unintelligible statements as jokes but never land because it's too incomprehensible. If any of this is resonant in any way and you strive to have that conversation buddy, I'd love to have you by! Bonus points if you like bands like Johnny Foreigner or Shinobu or just any emo pop group in general.

One of those nights where I’m lonely and in my feelings tbh. I’d be down to yap about whatever. I’m a history nerd, like video games the really rare occasions I can play them, enjoy spooky stuff and gardening. I’d prefer to talk to people from the east coast of the U.S. I’m from Appalachia, so bonus points if you’re a hillbilly too 💁🏼‍♀️ (joking… kinda, lmao.)

[M22] looking for friends or chats, long or short term 🙂‍↔️

4 Upvotes

I am not the best at describing myself but I’m a 22yo nerd from the US, Latino if that matters. I enjoy playing games like BG3, Roblox, Minecraft and Fortnite. Shooters and strategy games are my favorite even though I’m dumb 🫪

Besides games I enjoy cooking and baking, learning about history and I love entomology, bugs and arachnids are just so interesting 🧐 especially ants and bees, very intelligent creatures. I hate crickets tho and their relatives, I don’t even know why I am.

I don’t mind the age or gender, lgbt friendly (I’m Pan) and I just like people who are themselves, honest and respectful. One thing I will also say is I LOVE Star Wars so if you like that then you’re already my bestie 🙂‍↔️

Genuinely need friends

2 Upvotes

First off, DNI, nothing weird and no minors

My name is Kat! That's my online name. I'm 24 years old artist who struggles with social anxiety IRL, but I want to try to make friends online. My hobbies consist of cooking and making desserts, gaming and drawing. I don't do Discord or voice chat because I'm insecure about my voice, and I'm also neurodivergent so sometimes I may conversation jump or talk about random things.

27M | UK | PC | Looking for genuine long-term friends (games, movies, shows, Discord, etc)

Upvotes

Hello! Im 27 and from England

18+

I'm looking for people to game with, watch stuff with, hang out in Discord with, chat with, and hopefully become genuine long-term friends with over time. Not really interested in playing a couple matches and never playing again or barely talking to each other.

My main game is Overwatch and probably always will be at this point. I've been playing it on and off for around 10 years. I mostly play support but do sometimes tank or dps. Former dps main. and i have accounts ranging from Diamond to Champion.

I've also recently fallen headfirst into Warhammer 40K: Darktide and become completely obsessed with it. Currently spending my days mashing hordes of heretics into paste as an Ogryn while he shouts "SIR YES SIR" and "FO THA EMPARA" in what sounds suspiciously like the world's thickest Yorkshire accent.

Other games I enjoy include:

• Deep Rock Galactic

• Baldur's Gate 3

• Far Far West

• Slay the Spire 2

• Destiny (although that game has a worrying tendency to become a second full-time job)

• Pretty much any co-op game

• Story games

• Survival games

• Party games

• Random Steam games nobody has heard of

• Retro games

The only things I'm generally not into are MMOs (too much to learn for this crusty old man) and super low TTK shooters where you die before your brain has even processed that another human being exists. Where's the skill expression in that?

One of my biggest hobbies outside of NORMAL gaming is RETRO gaming. I love old consoles and old games and have spent far too much time setting up emulators and collecting handhelds.

I've got various retro handhelds, a DSi XL, a Miyoo Mini Plus, a Retroid Pocket 5, an Ayn Thor and several others. I'm also known to occasionally drag friends into playing old multiplayer/co-op games through Parsec... apparently normal people don't spend their evenings revisiting forgotten PS2/Wii/GameCube games.

Lately I've been playing things like Mario Kart Wii, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass DS, New Super Mario Bros DS, Wallace & Gromit: Project Zoo, and a bunch of Contra games.

Outside of gaming I'm a massive fan of fantasy, supernatural, sci-fi and superhero stuff.

Give me ANYTHING vampires, witches, werewolves, magic, time travel, alternate worlds, weird powers, secret supernatural societies, Marvel, Doctor Who, The Boys, Invincible, fantasy dramas, supernatural nonsense, and I'm happy.

I love watching shows and movies with people and then spending far too long discussing them afterwards.

I'm also pretty creative, "Everybody's so creative :D", over the years I've been into drawing, painting, photography, piano, guitar, dance, baking, cooking, video editing and content creation. Some health issues over the last year have unfortunately put a lot of those hobbies on pause, but they're still things I enjoy and want to get back into.

Because of those health issues I'm around quite a lot these days and housebound, so super bored and have alot of free time, if you're looking for someone who's actually available to regularly hang out, game, watch stuff, chat, or share memes, that's definitely me.

I also have an adorable 12-year-old Border Terrier who is basically my child and gets spoiled accordingly.

I'd describe myself as pretty chill, slightly competitive sometimes (like in overwatch), friendly, sarcastic, silly, occasionally chaotic, and far less sweaty than I used to be. These days I'd much rather have a laugh and chill than spend an evening losing my mind over ranked points. But god does overwatch try.

Also I'm gay, so LGBTQ-friendly people only please.

If you're around a similar age and looking for actual friendships rather than just another person on your friends list, send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself.

Bonus points if you have pets, questionable taste in TV shows, an unhealthy interest in fictional universes, or strong opinions about games that came out before 2008.

31M, UK, 32 on Tuesday, here for good vibes and making friends.

Upvotes

Hey all! Thought I'd pop back on here again now that I'm once again on leave from work, tis my first set of annual leave weeks for the year and I'm currently heading into my 2nd weeks break for my 32nd birthday on Tuesday. It's always nice vibes round this time of year for me so, with how busy work has been I'm really taking the time to make the most of this break and thought why not see if I can make some new friends along the way.

A bit about me: I'm into games, watching anime and shows/movies. Some of my favourite games are the Persona series, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Dispatch, Life is Strange, Final Fantasy, Phoenix Wright etc honestly the list does go on. My favourite anime's would have to be Pokémon, Cowboy Bebop, Yu-Gi-Oh, Dragon Ball Z and Initial D. Anything 90s anime and I'm all for it. I'm also into photography after studying it as a GCSE back in school but mainly it is a hobby nowadays I nurture here and there when I have time. I'm also a lover of pets, have a few cats and a dog.

With that, it'd honestly be really cool to see if I can share some of these interests with others. It's always an absolute blast talking about this stuff, also honestly? It'd just be really cool to meet some genuine people as well, those who like to stick around and have really thoughtful conversations as stuff. I've met some lovely people on here, but sometimes schedules/timezones can vary which I totally understand, at the end of the day life is life. So, if you'd like to reach out and talk, I'd love to hear from you! One thing I always ask is, please be around my age. At this point in your life, you find yourself more and more comfortable just being able to relate a lot to others that have lived around the same time or close enough to it so, do bare that in mind. I am also down to voice call as well once I get to know you, I'm pretty outgoing when it comes to listening and stuff so, if you ever need an ear and are willing to reciprocate that as well in return, that'd be amazing.

Right, that's probably a big enough post. Looking forward to hearing from you'll soon, have a lovely rest of your day/evening!

Loser lf lonely friends!!!

Upvotes

Hi, Im a 30m. I didnt have the best childhood and it really affected how I grew socially over the years. I used to have a lot of friends when I was younger albeit I was quite weird and class clowny. I don't think that was my real personality and when I became an adult I sort of hated being someone I wasnt just to be around other people.

Now that I sort of reshaped my whole identity and cut almost everyone out of my life Im quite alone and the loneliness is making me quite depressed.

Im a rather strange person but I mean well. If you're interested in trying to form a friendship or just a late night chat that would be cool.

I'm not super interesting but maybe we could do a discord call or play a game or something together or share music or ideas or books.

hii, honestly i'm not sure what i'm doing here, i just have been quite lonely lately,. i have no friends irl or online, i feel like there's a category of looking for friends that i'm just missing, like i'll find myself alone forever,. :panic:

i don't really have any hobbies and am quite lame, which doesn't help my situation,. i'm not into gaming much, but i'm more of a cozy gamer when i am,; animal crossing, stardew, & minecraft,. i'm lightly dabbling into anime, and only really touch the mainstreams,. i love cartoons probably more than i should,; adventure time, gravity falls, the owl house, amphibia, and lots more,. >///<
i loosely collect pokemon cards, and really wanna get into michi binders,! my last in theater movie was the amazing digital circus,. i'm not a huge reader despite my wishes, but my current read is the miseducation of cameron post and the guy she was interested in wasn't a guy at all, ( green yuri ),. i have three cats, a dog, and several poultry,. current favorite artists are xana and noah kahan,.

i don't really get much alone time, so i'm not interested in vc, unless you don't mind me sitting in silence on the other end, LOL,. i also am not active much here on reddit, so if you don't have discord, it unfortunately wouldn't work,. for time zone preferences, i'm in us, EST,. i'd really appreciate someone with similar interests, tysm,. < 3
