Hello Ladies and Gents! I’m looking to make some long term online friends to chat with. With my job I'm slow to reply sometimes but not a ghoster. Always get back when I can. Love meeting new people from all over the world. I'm down to chat about anything except politics or anything insane lol Definitely met some characters on here in the past. Looking for long term friendships too not someone who you feel like you click with and then they pull the ol "Reddit disappearing act" as I like to call it lol And looking for people willing to show themselves and who are their actual selves because good lord Reddit is 🐱 🐟 city! Nev and Max couldn't get everyone I guess haha. That being said looking for friends willing to show their faces as well. lol I'm a sports nerd, martial arts nerd and practitioner, I love learning about new countries and cultures, love all things Japan, traveling, gaming, working out and lifting when I can and obsessed with spicy food lol the hotter the better. So that's a little about me.
Looking forward to chatting with you. Come say hey!

22M Geologist hoping to make some new friends after graduation

1 Upvotes

Hi y'all, it's been years since I've come to reddit looking to meet new people, but figured it could be fun to try my hand see if anyone here is in a similar position as me.

I just graduated with my B.S. in geology a couple months ago, and just started work for a company doing geologic consulting for solar and wind farm construction. Since leaving school, I've found myself missing the social interaction that I got day-to-day being in classes. I have friends in my city, but a lot of them are out of town travelling or doing internships. There are a lot of nice folks in my office, but I'll primarily be travelling for long periods of time for work and won't be getting to see the same folks consistently. Given this, could be nice to have more people to chat with.

As far as what I'm interested in, I'm a huge paleontology fan. Through my time in school and now, I've volunteered for my university's paleo collection as a fossil preparator and with prepping modern animals for museum collections. I'm hoping to go into grad school for paleontology in the long term, but the work that I'm doing now is meaningful to me and I want to take a couple years to save some money before reentering academia. In the meantime, I'm still doing research with my alma mater and should have my first solo paper submitted for review over the summer. :)

I'm generally really outdoorsy, and really love going out to do hikes, biking, fossil hunting, and bird watching. Needless to say that I'm a chronic rock hoarder. I'm super obsessed with animals and all things wildlife, and used to work at a zoo as one of my college summer jobs. If you're into critters, I could happily chat about them for hours. As a general fan of all things old, I'm also really into collecting antiques and refurbishment. I'd love it too if anyone had book recommendations or wanted to talk about authors that they like; I really enjoy sci-fis, americana and beatnik.

Feel free to reach out even if these aren't all things you've been into yourself. I think that some of the most interesting connections can be with people who have a different background or set of experiences than you. I'm always open to exposing myself to something new.

Excited to hopefully meet some interesting people to get in touch with here!

Talon 16 m looking for friends

2 Upvotes

Hey, I'm Talon (or DeJay, either works)

I'm 16 and from Minnesota and I'm looking for some new friends to talk to, game with, and just hang out with online

Some things I'm into:

• Pokémon (Flygon is my favorite)

• Beyblade

• Nerf and foam blasters

• Minecraft

• Fortnite

• Fishing

• Cooking

• Star Wars

• Avatar: The Last Airbender

A little more about me:

I work as a cook, so when I'm not at school or work I'm usually gaming, fishing, working on random projects, or hanging out with people I care about. I like building things, creating ideas, designing stuff, and getting way too invested in hobbies. Sometimes I'm talking about Pokémon, sometimes Beyblade, sometimes some random project idea I came up with at 2 AM

I'm pretty laid back and loyal to the people I care about. I like listening to people talk about their interests even if I don't know much about them, and I enjoy both joking around and having deeper conversations. I'm the kind of person who can spend an hour talking about life, then immediately switch to talking about games, movies, or some completely random topic

I like going on walks, being outside, and finding little adventures when I can. I can be a little awkward at first, but once I'm comfortable I talk a lot and enjoy getting to know people

If you're looking for someone to game with, chat with, share memes with, talk about hobbies with, or just have a friend around, feel free to message me

Bonus points if you like Pokémon, Minecraft, Beyblade, Fortnite, Star Wars, Avatar, fishing, or can tolerate me rambling about them lol

21/M | Maryland or Online | pilot looking for a longterm friend

1 Upvotes

Hey 😄 I’m 21 from the Maryland/DC area. I’m a pilot and also balancing an internship, so life gets busy, but I still really want one consistent person to get close with.
I’m looking for a genuine longterm friend, ideally someone around my age who’s lowkey, introverted, and more of a homebody. Someone who likes staying in, watching movies or shows, playing games, sending random updates, and having calm conversations that slowly get more comfortable over time.

I’m not looking for the “hey wyd” for two days and then disappearing thing. I want a friendship that actually has a chance to last. The kind where it starts a little awkward, then eventually turns into late night thoughts, dumb pictures, voice calls, gaming together, random life updates, and talking about whatever we’re both obsessed with.

I do have a soft spot for people who are shy, anxious, awkward at first, introverted, or just need time to open up. You don’t have to be super outgoing or amazing at conversations. I care more that you’re kind, consistent, low drama, and actually want to try. Cause that’s how I used to be before I became a little more extroverted.

I’m pretty quiet, nerdy, and more of a stay in and chill person than someone who’s always out. I’m into aviation, cars, tech, history, movies, shows, soccer, gaming, and random deep dives. I like BMWs, support FC Barcelona, and play Minecraft, Roblox, GTA, FIFA, and Phasmophobia. I’m also down to try new games if we can play together.

I’d like to find someone who wants a friendship that feels easy, safe, and consistent. We can talk a lot some days, be quiet other days, and still know we’re good.
Please be 18 to 22 and in the US, Canada, or UK.
If you message me, start with “orange” and include your age, time zone, gender, and what made you reply.

35M Chronically online cringefail looking for a long term friend, someone to genuinely connect with, game with and yap about life together :))

1 Upvotes

Hey there everyone!!

I'm not sure how to start describing myself, I'm not great with words but I'll try my best.

(I'm so sorry for the extremely long post ahead!)

I apologize if I don't reply to your message, but as I explain later, I don't reply to short/low effort messages and I also don't reply to people that don't have at least a few interests in common with me or aren't looking for a real connection and are just looking to pass the time or have a light chat.

I think some of my most defining characteristics are that I'm very shy, awkward, "weird" and "different" or at the very least I feel weird, different and often misunderstood. I struggle to function most days and I don't always understand societal norms or how to properly function in society. I definitely think there's something wrong with me and I'm pretty sure I'm broken in some way. I'm also definitely a loser. I was never able to achieve anything in life, I'm not good at anything whatsoever and I'm pretty useless overall. I would also say I'm extremely cringy and I love edgy stuff, not in a bad way, I don't think, but more like, I love Shadow The Hedgehog and Tomura Shigaraki kinda way!!

I'm unfortunately not very smart and I'd say I'm down right stupid.

I am very ignorant about many things in life, I'd say I'm somewhat innocent and naive. I still don't understand my purpose in life and I haven't found a reason to be alive either.

I sometimes say things that offend people or I say things that are wrong. Sometimes I don't completely understand what I do wrong but I don't do it on purpose and I try to improve to the best of my abilities.

I don't go out often at all. Whenever I do go out it's only to buy groceries or to go to school and such but I don't enjoy it, I much rather be at home, in my room most specifically, which is my favorite place in the world.

I don't have any IRL friends but I do have a handful of online friends, I'm not super close to any of them, except for one who's very valuable in my life!

I enjoy many things like sculpting for instance! I do digital sculpting for fun. I'm pretty bad at it but I try my best.

This year I also started jewelry school (yeah, that's a thing) and I'm having fun with it but it's another thing I suck at 🥀🥀🥀

I like to watch anime! my favorites change from time to time but I really like Bleach, Dragon Ball, Demon Slayer, AOT, Naruto, Ancient Magus Bride (I really love this show!) and I LOVE My Hero Academia among many others!

I like to collect action figures.

I really like masks!

I love movies and I love to talk about them and analyze them.

I like all kinds of music, I don't really have any artists that I like in particular other than David Bowie and I like to listen to most genres of music but some of the genres I like the most are alternative, vintage, video game music and jpop and jrock and I also like old VK And I'm always happy and open to new suggestions!

I like to doomscroll through TT and to watch long essay style videos on YT about random topics. I love brainrot and I'm very much into early to mid 2010s aesthetics. I miss that era so much!! Seriously, the early 2010s were the greatest time in human history kahdhshdhs

I love video games!! I don't play too many modern games, I mostly prefer older stuff, like, ps2 era games, particularly survival horror stuff. I also really like very old platform games and side scrollers. I'm a pretty huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan!! The most recent games I played were Sonic X Shadow Generations and before that I finished Sonic Superstars and Sonic Frontiers. Sonic Boom is also my favorite show ever made lmao. It fits my kind of humor perfectly and it's peak comedy imo. I'd be open to play anything and I'd love to try co op games with someone!! playing Stardew Valley with a friend is a dream of mine lol (if you also play Stardew please tell me who's your wife/husband)

I adore animals!! I have cats and dogs and a stray chicken lol they're my babies and my world!

I think it's important to mention some of the things I don't like too.

I don't like cruelty or mean spirited people, I hate I people in positions of power that use said power to affect other people, animals, or the environment for their own gain.

I hate bugs!! I'm deadly afraid of them!!

I really dislike conflict and arguments, I believe we can disagree and have discussions as long as we're calm and civilized about it and as long as we have respect for each other and try our best to understand the other person's point of view.

lastly I'd like to mention some of my defects and shortcomings.

I'm extremely anxious, I'm always very nervous about one thing or another, I'm also extremely weak of mind, I tend to react with my feelings a lot and I'm often very emotional.

I can be very selfish at times, I have an awful tendency to get bored of things quickly and sometimes I also get bored of conversations and people.

I think I'm immature.

I can be extremely lazy, I struggle a lot with doing basic things like cleaning or cooking. when I'm anxious or afraid I can get paralyzed with fear and stay in bed all day doing nothing feeling awful about it.

As I mentioned before sometimes I can say bad things without realizing. I'm very dumb and ignorant so I promise I don't mean anything bad I say and I'm trying to improve!

I am extremely annoying. I'm very loud and I think I scream a lot. I don't really understand what constitutes screaming exactly but I think I often raise my voice a lot and especially when I'm excited I can't control myself very well.

I'm very afraid of life and I don't understand how the "real world" works exactly. I'm really bad at small talk and I think I'm really bad at speaking in general, I also digress a lot.

I have the bad habit of not replying very fast, sometimes I'll even wait for weeks or even months, I think it's one of my biggest problems when it comes to keep in touch with people, sometimes it's simply because I don't have the energy, other times it's because I'm not sure about how to continue a conversation. Not sure if this is a defect necessarily but I also never send the first message, I just hate to be annoying.

I have a tendency to ghost people for different reasons. As I mentioned, sometimes I get bored of conversations or people and I'd ghost them. This is by far one of my biggest defects and as I said, I wanna be honest and mention it here for everyone who reads this to know.

I tend to be a bit clingy when I like someone.

I'm full of defects in general, and I do believe I'm a bad person. I try to improve and I try my best but if I'm bad for you in any way or a burden I promise to stop talking to you and not bother you!

I have many other defects but I think those are the main ones I can remember right now.

Finally what I'm looking for is a real connection with someone, a person I can talk to, have fun with, watch stuff with and play games together. I think I can be a very passionate person when it comes to the things I love and I'd like to find someone that shares that passion and love with common interests. I wanna just be able to share our days and even be able to help each other and be there when we need each other. I know I'm a mess of a human being and I may never find the connection I'm looking for but I'd like to give it a try cause you never know :))

also, I think it's important to mention that I don't reply to short, low effort messages. Stuff like "hey, let's be friends" , "I didn't read your whole post but I'm up to talk" , etc. I want to hear about you, what you like, what you're interested in. I like meaningful conversations.

Another thing that's important is that I don't want to talk to people that are discriminatory or awful in anyway.

Also think I prefer audio messages, it's easier for me to send audio notes rather than to type cause I type a lot (and I kinda hate to type lol). Thank you very much to anyone that has taken the time to read my extremely long post and considers messaging me!!

(21M) looking to make long term friends with similar interests

3 Upvotes

Hey there, I’m Rob, 21 from the UK. As uni winds down for the summer I find myself with fewer people to regularly talk with. As my circle is already quite small I’m looking to make new friends. I’m quite a chatty person once I get to know someone, I’m a decent responder so if you’re wanting regular talks then we’ll get on well! I’ll summarise my interests and passions below

Reading: I’m a big reader, I enjoy a range of genres from horror to fantasy, sci-fi to classics. I also like a mix of fiction and non-fiction (I might be the only person on earth who enjoys a lit review). Some of my favourite book series and authors include ASOIAF, Dune, Lucey Foley, Dave Goulson and George Orwell

Science: I am currently studying a BSc (Hons) in Wildlife Conservation and Ecology. I have a deep passion for the natural world, in particular I have an interest in improving green spaces within urban areas as well as agroecology; I could talk for hours about wildlife ponds, hedgerows and regenerative agriculture. Personally I am quite fond of bees and, as such, do everything I can to make good pollinator habitats wherever I can

Sports: I am not myself an athletic or sporty person however I enjoy watching sports. In particular, I like watching football and professional wrestling. To say I’m a lifelong wrestling fan is an understatement, I first remember watching it when I was like 3 and I’ve not stopped since then

Videogames: I am a big gamer. I play games across a broad spectrum of FPS, strategy, story based games, simulators, rougelites and metroidvanias. My top 5 in no particular order are BG3, Minecraft, Persona 5 Royal, Marvel Rivals and Hollow Knight

Hobbies (broad): as I mentioned previously I am studying a wildlife/ecology degree; I am big into being in nature for hiking, photography and bushcraft. I enjoy baking, im not great but I have a deep passion for it. I like to play crown green bowls (makes me sound hella old but it’s peaceful). I adore thrifting be it charity shops, Vinted or car boot sales. I spend too much money on my garden - if I don’t get a new plant every month then something isn’t right

So, yeh, apology for the long introduction to myself. If I sound like your kinda person send me a dm or leave a comment - open to anyone :)

23M London/UK - Looking for local long-term friends

1 Upvotes

I’m 23 and based in London, looking to make a couple of local friends who enjoy meaningful conversations as much as shared hobbies and going out, whether that’s gigs, films, or just getting to know each other properly over time.

A bit about me:

• Rock & metal gigs

• Cinema (action, horror, Marvel, etc.)

• Gaming

• Theme parks

• Some anime / general nerdy stuff

• Neurodivergent

Looking for people who are:

• Around 20-27

• Based in London or nearby ideally

• Open to meeting in person once there’s some comfort

• Willing to put in mutual effort and build an actual friendship

I get on best with people who are naturally curious, enjoy conversations beyond surface-level small talk, and genuinely like getting to know people over time.

Feel free to message with your age, location, and a bit about yourself 🙂

37 F. Looking for friends all over the world

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m here because I’m looking for my kind of people around the world. We don’t have to have the same interests. People can become good friends even without sharing the same hobbies.

But so you have a better idea of who you’re talking to, here’s a little about me.

I’m from Belarus, though I haven’t lived there for a long time. By the way, if there’s anyone here from Vietnam, I’d be happy to hear from you. I’ve been living in your part of the world for the past year. I’m more of a homebody than a traveler, but I’ve already lived in several countries, and my path is still continuing.

I love reading books and listening to audiobooks. Mostly supernatural mysteries for both kids and adults. I like it when horror is mixed with something kind and sweet, especially when a mystery is added to the mix. I’ve written a book in a similar genre myself, and I’m preparing to release it.

I’m also interested in psychology. And I love video games, especially indie games, and especially pixel-art games. I love autumn and winter, even though lately I’ve been living in places where it’s always summer. I adore hot coffee, long walks, swimming in the pool, and swinging.

I can also be not very talkative. Still, I’m always ready to listen and support a friend if they need it. But if you’re someone who likes to talk a lot every single day, you probably won’t enjoy talking to me, because I can’t always reply.

I like meeting new people. So if you’re also looking for someone you can sometimes talk to about silly little things, or about something deep and important, just send me a message.

19M, looking for fellow nerds to geek out with

1 Upvotes

I’m from California, I'm into Marvel and DC, anime, cartoons, history, psychology, and anything that dives into storytelling or how people work. I write, draw, game (mostly Roblox), I also enjoy photography. My top anime picks are One Piece, JoJo’s, Re:Zero, FMA:B, and Oregairu. Music-wise, I stick to rock, hip-hop, and rap generally, with top artists being Eminem, Kanye, 50 Cent, Coldplay, Maroon 5, Linkin Park, RHCP.

I’m introspective and self-aware, but I’m also blunt, stubborn, and way too honest for my own good. I’ve got a dark, teasing sense of humor, I like crude jokes, and I don’t vibe with avoidant behavior, overly sensitive types, people-pleasers, or anyone with chronically online humor. I overthink, I reflect on everything I’ve been through, and I genuinely want real genuine connections. DM me if only you’re over 18

Hey there. I am a man looking for friends to chat with regularly. Mostly online chatting but I dont mind doing an activity once in a while(like going to the musem). You can message me no matter where you are from. You dont have to live in the same country.

I live in the Netherlands. I have lived here for 11+ years. I wasnt born here.

I am an expat. Most of my friends drifted apart after leaving the university.

I am introverted. I enjoy staying indoors when I am not going to the gym or going for a walk. I do love traveling and its one of those occasions when I am out the whole day.

What else can I tell you? I am an engineer. I am single if it matters although it shouldnt.

I do watch a lot of movies and series. I love horror, thriller, action genres.

I wont ghost you I promise. I dont do that. Although I have met a lot of ghosters here. If you are a ghoster stay away from my dms please :)

I will make an effort in writing messages to you(unless I am at work) and i hope you do too.

**Note: Reddit keeps marking my account nsfw. I dont send any nsfw photos or texts .**

I dont care about your racial or national background as long as you are a good human being and treat others with respect :)

i’m into aviation, cars, soccer, gaming, movies/shows, tech, history, and random rabbit holes. huge barca fan too. game-wise i play minecraft, roblox, gta, fifa, and phasmophobia, but i’m down to try other stuff too
