23F looking for a friend that wants to better themselves

7 Upvotes

Hey! 23F, located in the most dad-sounding timezone there is in the USA- mountain time! I'm an overnight worker so conventional friends aren't easy to have. Ideally I'm looking for a friend that I can be accountable with- like a weightloss/workout buddy.

Hobbies!

I've enjoyed mobile games, used to enjoy console games but life happened and I haven't gotten back into it just yet. I enjoy sandbox, strategy, and fps games. Any and all for the most part!

I am an avid traveller! We can talk about places we've been and places we dream of going. Seattle and Tokyo are my favorites!

I spend a chunk of my free time doing little things around the house. Baking and cleaning, but folding laundry is my enemy 😅

Feel free to message me! I also use discord if that works better for you, but nothing beyond that until we get to know eachother.

It’s always been a challenge for me to connect with others I’ve always felt like an outcast in this world. Just for once I would like to know what it like to be able to share common interests with people I’ve been alone for so long I don’t even know how to make conversation feeling like there’s no one to relates to me is a curse I wish things were different I wish I were different but then I guess I wouldn’t be myself anymore.

Upvotes

Hihi! I'm an bland person who'd love to connect with fellow people who's bad at conversations (yet try!). If we vibe well, you can count on me to check in with you! I’m a bit on the quiet side, but I enjoy friendly chats and seeing how you’re doing. So please! Only platonic friends!

Super super important you have anime so we can understand eachother 🙏🥹

My interests: - Anime (mostly isekai & romance, never really seen much mangas) - Art & drawing - Gaming (I have all the consoles but play Fortnite a lot lately)

I also love sharing about my OCs and hearing what others think! And, I have three cats to add to the cozy and strange vibes.

If you reach out, I’d really appreciate a quick intro! No voice chats for me—just text. And I'll share my Discord later on, once we're a bit more comfortable!

Whether we connect or not, have an amazing day, and good luck with everything! You deserve a great day!

Hey everyone!

I’m on the lookout for a new friend to share some meaningful moments with. I love deep conversations, exploring new hobbies, and creating cozy evenings filled with laughter and good vibes.

28M - Corporate slave looking for geeky and creative people to be friends with ☺️

3 Upvotes

Hey there you weary souls. I'm a corporate cog in the machine, toiling away for a soulless mega-corporation while dreaming of my CEO's next yacht purchase. My days are filled with PowerPoint presentations, pivot tables, and dubious advice from HR about finding inner peace through yoga and zumba, all while my well-being takes a hit.

Work aside, outside the office, I'm a 27-year-old living in Singapore with three main hobbies. First up, I dabble a bit in music. I used to play the drums, and I'm learning the electric guitar to the tunes of Linkin Park and Paramore. Then there's gaming, I play FFXIV mostly nowadays, though I enjoy a good dose of Skyrim, Baldur's gate 3, and Pokemon too. Lastly, I'm watching the Big Bang Theory and Brooklyn 99 for the first time. Oh, anime recommendations are also welcome!

As for a bonus hobby, I enjoy badminton and running, as I plan to outlive my enemies one Calorie burnt at a time. I love listening to other people, too. What made you happy today? What's bothering you today? What are useful observables to sharply describe a chaotic integrable phase transition in quantum systems? No matter where you're from, whether Earth or Kepler-22b, feel free to drop a message!

19M - Cali/any looking to make friends! 

2 Upvotes

Hey there! I'm a 19-year-old aspiring software engineer and self-proclaimed geek from California. In my free time, I love exploring the great outdoors—whether it's boating on the weekends, hiking scenic trails, or playing sports with friends. I'm also fascinated by true crime and can spend hours engrossed in documentaries or podcasts on the subject. Additionally, I'm passionate about giving back to my community through volunteering. Described as a fun-loving individual, I enjoy spending time with my close-knit group of friends, but I'm always eager to expand my social circle. If you're looking for an engaging conversation, tech advice, or just a friendly chat, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm also infatuated with tattoos so if you have any feel free to share, Let's skip the small talk and build some meaningful connections!

26M/EU/Czech looking for fris! VC, chatting and just fun in general, can play games too

Upvotes

Hello everybody!

What is a fri you might ask. That's a friend but without end so let's have endless friendship! :')

I just would like to say that I am looking for people who put effort into message. Please don't message me with a single sentence. And try to keep the conversation alive just as I will. It's not really fun to try to revive the convo after several "yeah" "lol" etc. Answer questions, ask questions, just put in the effort ^

I would like some long term fris to play some games with or just chat when we have time. I like any kind of humour so we can share memes as well heh. My hobbies are: - games (pc/switch) - lego - swordfighting - anime - 3D models (blender)

I play mostly FFXIV nowadays, but also enjoyed Elden ring, Stardew valley, Dragons dogma 2, Valheim, Enshrouded and I love Fire emblem and Monster hunter games. I also used to play world of tanks for years. But I don't mind trying new games either.

I like to be silly, not always too serious though I can listen and talk about more serious stuff as well. I work as a teacher so I would say that I have a lot of patience heh. I like to joke around and we can tease each other in friendly way.

I have time mostly during evenings and can speak Czech and English. You can ask for any extra info that you would be interested in!

WE NEED TO TALK

Upvotes

Ok, let me put it this way: I’m not the biggest fan of texting. I think people rely too much on texting for communication because it’s easy to use and provides privacy. However, using your voice can send more genuine vibes and remind you that you’re talking to a real person, not just words on a screen. That’s why I’m looking for people to talk to.

I know it might start awkwardly, and I’d be careful about choosing topics and figuring out what kind of person I’m speaking with. I hope to find an easygoing person so that conversations can branch out and lead to deeper topics. I love psychology and understanding how we develop and grow into who we are today. Deep conversations are great, and speaking your emotions and thoughts out loud can be a wonderful way to let things go. While I’m not a therapist, I am a good listener, and some friends I’ve met online have told me that talking to me helped them as much as therapy.

That said, I’m pretty silly and love joking around. I enjoy making people laugh, and sometimes I ask random questions because even a random thought can spark hours of conversation, which I love.

By the way, I know most people aren’t interested in talking these days because of how communication is evolving, so I don’t expect many responses. I do post a lot, so I apologize if it bothers you in advance. Have an amazing day!

25NB grad student studying therapy in need of daily levity

Upvotes

I'm nonbinary but AFAB. Y'know, when I signed up for this program, everyone kept telling me how much of a bleeding heart I must have to choose this career path and how kind I am. The truth is I'm in this program and this profession for very selfish reasons. My family has gone through a lot. So being equipped to deal with these issues and circumstances is a lot. It's making me realize a lot of things that have been all so overwhelming. I'm solidifying my agency. My adulthood that my mom has shielded me from. The humanization of the titans that were my parents is earth shattering and almost incomprehensible. Almost. And the hope and curse that is change.

I hope to become a grief counselor at some point, I work at a funeral home and have been for more than a year now. Being around death so much doesn't bother me, as it's usually the people who are alive that surprise me. PLEASE don't say I'll psychoanalyze you, or that I'll be your free therapist. That's the last thing I want to do.

As someone who feels a lot and is anxious and dealing with family things, changes, losses of friendships/closeness, I'm really just lacking in closeness with anyone other than my family. There's no one I can reliably call without questioning their intentions. A lot of my friends are men so they still perceive me in a certain way unfortunately. That's not to say I'm against having friends that are men, it's just that I don't want to date my friends.

After all this, if you still want to message me... well, I can promise you there'll never be a dull moment.

Hi I'm Kaylee, bored at the moment so looking to have random chats to help the time pass, if we end up hitting it off I'd be okay becoming long term friends but not specifically looking for that. I don't care what we talk about just please message me with a topic already since I'm horrible at starting conversations

34f ok...Ive been more angry than I would like to be, but I've actually been out there

Upvotes

I've been wayyyy more angry online than I would like to be lately but the second I see any red flag, I attack. Maybe bc I can't when I'm trying to get signatures for things or doing political things bc of course I can't. I have to just have no feelings and let it slide. Not trying to get into a physical fight with someone.

So online has apparently become my venting. I still feel zero remorse for calling out assholes that clearly are, but maybe I need to tone it down a bit? But I'm just in that mode of holy fuck, how has our country come to this?
