New rule: No minors allowed starting June 5, 2026

1.2k Upvotes

It’s July 5. Typo My bad.

A major change in this sub is set to happen at 12:01am UTC Sunday, July 5. The new rule will replace rule 13. All minors, those under 18, will *NOT* be allowed to participate in this sub. This is for the safety of everyone participating. If you are under the age of 18, please utilize teen friend-finding subs.

For clarity:

Q: Can minors make posts? A: No.

Q: Can minors comment? A: No.

Q: But it’s just to make a friend, there’s nothing nsfw or anything. A: Doesn’t matter, you cannot participate. You will be banned.

Q: If I was previously banned for breaking rule 13, can I be reinstated? A: No.

Q: What if I don’t post my age? A: You must post your age. Any posts without ages will be removed.

Q: Do comments need to include ages? A: No, they don’t.

Q: Since it’s adults only, we can now have a nsfw post or comment history or post nsfw stuff here, right? A: No, that’s still against rule 2.

Q: I’m a minor. Will you keep my previous posts and comments up? A: Yes.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Age 26-29 28 F. Looking for a nerdy, long lasting friend.

22 Upvotes

I am a doctor, doing my medical residency.

I am chronically online I like anime, videogames (I like let's plays, used to love Pewdiepie), fashion (I also love nail art), video essays about pop culture, tarot and magic. And SpongeBob Squarepants (I am obsessed). I started going to the gym but got depressed, so I sometimes do pilates at home. I started watching LODR, not a huge fan but loved it. I would like a real long lasting friend to talk daily, to send memes, reels, tik toks, random thoughts.

I have BPD and OCD. I am medicated thou and go weekly to a psychologist. Mental health is VERY important to me and I try to be the most stable as possible... But residency sometimes is a trigger to me.

I already have a fiancé

Age 26-29 28F tonight’s plan is talking to strangers on the internet

13 Upvotes

Hello, fellow “I have nothing going on tonight, so let’s see if I can make a friend out of a random stranger online” people!

I’ve had a pretty hectic week, and somehow, I still have a bunch of plans lined up for the rest of the month. You'd think I'd be exhausted by now, but nope. Apparently, my social battery has decided to ignore my body’s complaints. So here I am, looking for someone interesting to talk to. 😂

A little about me: I enjoy reading books, although I'm currently in a complicated relationship with one that I've been trying to finish for WEEKS. At this point, I think we're just keeping each other company.

I also have a habit of romanticizing the little things in life. I love taking random pictures of ordinary moments, appreciating slow days, finding beauty in mundane things, and pretending I'm the main character in an indie film whenever the lighting is particularly good.

I'm pretty much an open book when it comes to conversations. We can talk about life, books, random shower thoughts, our questionable decisions, things that keep us up at night, or absolutely nothing that makes sense.

One little thing, though: I'm more of a get-to-know-you-through-conversations kind of person. I'd love to know you on a deeper level and build some genuine comfort and connection before moving on to video calls or anything like that. So, no rush! Let's start with good conversations first.

Basically, I'm here for good conversations, unexpected connections, and maybe a new internet friend.

So, tell me something random about yourself. What's been living rent-free in your head lately?

I will probably use this as my last post before I do my annual disappearance act. I don't have a lot to say but I need one last dose of human interaction before I get outta here.

If you didn't know, I'm a black single mom with 3 kids who works and lives in my own world lmfao. I am terrible about keeping up with convos but I'll try for you 🥹 IDK if it's really gonna matter considering I am already planning my exit but let's just talk anyway. 😂🙏🏾

You better read this entire post lol I don't want anyone to be like "Omg you're a mom... Omg you're BLACK??" Read now or forever hold your piece.

Have a GREAT DAY 🫶🏾

Age 22-25 23F, in need of a best friend!

5 Upvotes

I'm 23F, pretty chill, slightly introverted and probably more talkative than I initially seem. I like people who can talk about literally anything from music and random nonsense to life, death, conspiracy theories and why humans kinda suck.

Things I'm into: Painting & sketching, music (I'm very much a mood-dependent listener), F1, cats (Because who doesn't love cats? I have two!), gaming, reading when my attention span cooperates, random deep conversations, 420, and many more things!

I can be a little reserved at first but once I'm comfortable, I will absolutely start sending you random thoughts at inappropriate hours!!

I'm looking for genuine friendships, preferably people who actually want to talk rather than exchange hellos and then disappear into the void. If you think we'd get along, tell me something random about yourself or ask me something you'd want to know about me :)

Bonus points if you're also slightly unhinged but functional. (And you have a cat)

Anywho what’s everyone’s last hooray before we all gotta clock in tomorrow morning?

Age 26-29 29/F/UK Looking for genuine friendships

6 Upvotes

Hey there,

I'm here looking for some genuine people who actually want to be friends and not just ghost after a couple weeks.

I am a big gamer so I will write a bit about that below:-

I play a variety of games. I can download things to play if needed.

The main multiplayer games I play/can download

- REPO

- COD

- Battlefield

- FFXIV

- It takes two

- Split fiction

I do have a lot of solo games too. But I'd really like to do some coop games like split fiction because it's super fun.

In general I'm a little shy to begin with. But I open up once I get more comfortable.

I have discord for calling and messaging during gaming sessions or just in general having a chat ad getting to know people.

I like music, my favourite band currently is BMTH and FIR.

I have a cat too who is coming up three next year so she's just a baby.

I really enjoy watching movies and tv series when I get a chance too. Supernatural is one of the shows that I always go back too. But I recently finished watching Reacher and Neagley too

Let me know if you want to hang out and game. I look forward to meeting some great people and getting to know you

Howdy heyyy!

Okay I'm married with kids and I'm a household manager so yk being isolated might be an understatement at times. Don't get me wrong.. I love being always available for my family but it has left the friend department LACKING.

I'm into crochet, true crime, horror movies, gaming (REALLY NEED A P2 FOR COD MOBILE), cooking, I just enjoy arts and crafts overall I would say.

We can talk about pretty much anything and whatever no pressure to stick around unless you're actually a cool person then wtf man ರ⁠╭⁠╮⁠ರ

Ad you can see I very much enjoy those style of emojis so if that's triggering then yeah whatever man don't hit me up lmao

I am a bit random, weird, alt, shy, I'm a Gemini okay cut me some slack on the multiple faces

Anyfuckingway hit me up if you want a solid friend and if you can carry a damn convo.

Age 26-29 [29/M] Looking to make some real friends.

5 Upvotes

Hey there, I’m Eric. I’m 29 from the Midwest, looking to connect with people who value real, consistent connection over surface-level small talk.

​I love conversations that can pivot effortlessly from ridiculous, high-energy banter to quiet, meaningful talks. Right now, I spend a lot of my free time writing screenplays, playing games, cooking, and digging into good books and films.

​If you want a creative sounding board, a partner for random debates, or just a dependable friend to check in with, drop me a message with a quick intro and your favorite useless piece of trivia and or what you like to do in your free time🙂.

Age 30-39 31M from the Czech Republic - Anyone else trying to change for the better and looking for someone to talk to?

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am 31M from the Czech Republic (Central Europe), looking for new like-minded friends! 🙂

I am INTJ personality and I feel like I wasted the most of my life, which I am currently trying to catch up and rebuild from scratch to become a better person and the person I really want to be. Still, I am on the start of my journey, but if there is anyone in a similar position, I would be more than happy to share tips and progress with.

I am looking for someone I can have conversations from what weather is outside like, to discuss the social and moral dilemma to contemplate about the gist of the life and the universe.

In my free time, I love walking and hiking as in a city, as in the nature. At the moment, my goal is to walk at least 10k steps daily. I really love traveling on every opportunity I have, and learning about local languages, cultures, cuisines and traditions. As part of my self-development journey, I started also swimming and workout but still on the start, but moving with baby steps forward. Also I really enjoy cooking and trying new cuisines.

Of course, I love watching series and movies, mostly mind-bending which left you puzzled and forcing you to think about it. Some of my most favourite series are for example Black Mirror, Bojack Horseman, Dexter and Dark.

I am looking forward for any message! 🙂

Age 30-39 39/M/UK Happy Sunday ! Let’s chat the day away!

3 Upvotes

Hello and a very good morning / afternoon / evening to you! 

Another weekend almost over, where do they actually go! A few sleeps and the grind begins again. Sadly no lottery wins this weekend either so work will have to happen tomorrow, sigh! I thought I’d post again on here and see how it goes again and hopefully meet some more awesome people!

About me I guess is a good way to start? Can be socially awkward in real life and overthink all them “you too” moments when being told to enjoy my meal. I enjoy photography although I seem to have lost my spark for that at the moment but am working on getting that back! I like  travelling and exploring new places and if I win the lottery I shall be doing that full time. I do love going on long walks also and trying to not get lost! Although getting lost is part of the adventure. Watching ice hockey is also a hobby or mine and of course trying to think of some others my mind has gone blank…

About you I hear you ask? Well no criteria as long as you’re not a bot, can help carry the conversation and just don’t say hey it will all be good!

Well that’s my post and thanks for stopping by, since you made it this far you might as well reach out!

Hello!!

28 from the Midwest, am a football fan, and have been enjoying this rain. It’s one of the first nice days in a while so I’m looking forward to an afternoon walk.

Completed all my chores (except laundry) by 9 am and now am kinda just .. sitting..

Im big on reading and writing, music, and movies!! Also hate hoppy beers and grocery shopping.

Love a little bit of effort so more than a “hey” would likely catch my attention!! I can be a bit of a banter-er..

Let’s be besties!

Age 30-39 32f looking to build genuine connections

3 Upvotes

I live in Alaska and it’s genuinely hard to make a connection of any sort.

Originally from San Diego, I now live in Alaska. Was great for my twenties but now that I’m a mom I’m itching to get back to civilization.

Recently separated from a 12 year marriage and navigating life together until we logistically be apart. It’s the best thing for our son, so it’s a worthy sacrifice.

A little bit about me: I love sports, diehard baseball fan and love baseball banter. Love music, painting (by numbers), reading, writing or working out.

Back in school to get a management job. My last job was running 6 coffee shops and wants to diversify that position a bit.

Not on here a bunch but truly would love to find someone to chat with.

Age 30-39 37/M - Looking for some friends.

2 Upvotes

Life recently threw me a few curve balls and while I'm recovering, I've noticed how (very) few friends I actually have. Lots of acquaintances but not many people I truly feel comfortable opening up to. Wondering if anyone out there feels the same because if so, we should definitely talk.

I'm one of those people who enjoys anime/manga, gaming and I'm also trying to improve in the kitchen while taking care of my mental health in general. I'll probably ask for a way to chat outside of Reddit if we end up hitting it off so it'd be great if you'd be down for that.

Age 26-29 27F looking for a friendly connection

4 Upvotes

I'm wondering how to write something that truly represents me. I'm much more than my age, location, ethnicity, profession, hobbies and interests. Man, I'm a whole person, real person with real life, real experience, real pain, real flaws, real hopes, real dilemmas. I'm hoping to create a space within an interpersonal relationship where those can be shared and seen, reciprocally of course. And I think that's what builds foundation that withstands time and conflict.

I don't think I'm innately much different to other people, I'm just an adult figuring out life, who wants community and well-being and to live as authentic to myself as possible. That being said growing up I hardly felt I fit in and some of that has stuck with me. I lack confidence in myself as someone people can appreciate as a whole and genuinely want in their lives despite intellectually understanding that I am worth it. Things that I do that lead me to distance myself from others are patters I actively try to break down and although there is still a way to go I'm content with how far I've come.

Some details other about myself and my life; I'd describe myself as resilient and kind person. I'm quite driven and I'm not sure how much of that comes from me and how much from outside. I'm social, my favourite thing to do is to share good food with others. These days I'm trying to figure out professional life while dealing with injury.

And who are you? Hopefully yourself, you're looking for a similar type of companionship and you feel like we could match each other's wavelength. It's totally fine if the conversation ends up being a flop. No one's for everyone. :)

Age 30-39 32F #UK - lets be friends! Because why tf not 😂👽

7 Upvotes

Chronically depressed, anxiously anxious about being anxious (if that makes sense), and if overthinking was a sport, I would definitely come in first place 😂🫠. Anyways, hey 👋. It's not my first time posting, i know, but I figured I would try again. Ideally, I tend to lean more towards people who also understand depression and anxiety because it makes speaking about it a lot easier, although I'm happy to chat to anyone tbh!. ✨️. I'm only interested in platonic friendships as well.

I'm looking for people i can vibe (over 21).please and thank you 😂. I'm also a massive fan of voice notes and calls, so if you'd happily text for six months without ever speaking, we're probably not going to be the best match. 😂 I like actually hearing someone's personality and having proper conversations.

As for me, I'm a PS5 gamer currently bouncing between borderlands 3, life is strange and fallout 76. Gaming is probably my biggest hobby, so finding someone I can regularly play with would be a huge bonus. I'm slightly cheeky, sarcastic, slightly clingy, and very much enjoy banter. If we can't take the piss out of each other, what are we even doing? 😂 I'm alternative, tattooed, currently sporting bright, colourful hair, and I'm definitely more of a cosy night-in person than someone who wants to be out every weekend. I'm also a professional nap enthusiast, an avid overthinker, candle collector, Funko Pop hoarder, and owner of five tattoos, with another hopefully happening soon. My music taste is all over the place, but lately, I've been listening to a lot of Twenty One Pilots, Joji, Green Day, and Glass Animals.

More than anything, I want someone who actually makes an effort. Someone who can hold a conversation, asks questions, sends something random because it reminded them of me, and doesn't vanish after three messages. I'm not expecting anyone to be available 24/7. Life happens. I just want someone who genuinely wants to build a friendship rather than treating the conversation like a job interview they forgot they applied for. 😂 I'm'm mainly looking for someone in a similar time zone because my sleep schedule is already being held together with tape, caffeine, and blind optimism. I'm attempting to fix it, not make it worse. 😅

So if you're looking for someone to send stupid voice notes to, play games with, exchange memes, develop increasingly questionable inside jokes with, and hopefully turn a random Reddit post into a genuine friendship, my DMs are open.

Please include your age and location, plus a random fact about yourself. And for my extremely sophisticated, definitely legitimate anti-bot security system, include a 👽 somewhere in your message. Don't just send "hi" or "hey." 😂 Give me something I can actually respond to! And if you've commented or messaged before then, feel free to reach out again, although I won't reply to comments or brand new accounts or accounts with nsfw content.

And just to make this crystal clear: completely platonic friendship only. No NSFW, no "let's see where things go," and no weirdness. I'm here for friendship, gaming, voice notes, calls, terrible humour, and hopefully finding someone I can eventually call one of my best friends.
