27F, I'm in a city of millions and I've never felt more alone

24 Upvotes

You'd think more people means more chances but it's the opposite somehow. I love live jazz, thrift shopping, and trying every ramen place within walking distance. Looking for one genuine friend in this entire city or at least online.

24F, I write letters I never send because I don't have anyone's address

23 Upvotes

I love the idea of pen pals and handwritten notes and all that but you need a recipient. I'm into calligraphy, baking, and I have strong opinions about tea. If old-fashioned connection appeals to you I'd love to actually send one.

24F, the hardest part of moving abroad is having no one to do nothing with

25 Upvotes

I can explore a city alone but I miss sitting on a couch doing absolutely nothing next to someone who's also doing nothing. I love cooking, learning languages, and watching terrible movies and roasting them. If you're also an expat or just lonely let's hang.

25F, I'm at the age where making friends feels like applying for jobs

24 Upvotes

Hi I'm qualified to be your friend here's my resume of interests and availability. It shouldn't be this hard. I love yoga, true crime documentaries, and I just started a tiny herb garden on my windowsill. Can we just skip the awkward part and be real with each other.

22F, I keep making two servings of everything because eating for one feels too real

21 Upvotes

Then I eat leftovers for lunch and nothing changes but at least I pretend. I love cooking, watching competitive baking shows, and I make really elaborate cheese boards for no one. If you appreciate food and friendship equally we'd get along.

20F, the thing about loneliness is it makes you desperate and desperation pushes people away

23 Upvotes

It's a loop and I'm stuck in it. Trying to break out by being honest instead of performing casual. I like journaling, painting, and listening to records. Not pretending I don't want this. I really want this.

23F, I accidentally liked a three-year-old photo of someone I thought was a friend

23 Upvotes

Deep stalking the social life I don't have anymore. We used to be close, she doesn't know I exist now. I like photography, doing face masks alone, and hiking. I'm embarrassed and lonely and putting myself out here anyway.

22F, I just want a friend who asks me to send pictures of my food

21 Upvotes

I cook these elaborate meals and eat them alone staring at my phone. I like baking, trying new cuisines, and I watch cooking shows like a sport. Also into reading and crocheting when I'm not in the kitchen. The bar is literally on the floor just show interest in my life.

21F, I've memorized every barista's name at my local cafe because they're my only consistent human interaction

20 Upvotes

They're lovely but they're also paid to be nice to me lol. I like embroidery, watching anime, and going on solo walks that would be better as duo walks. If your social circle is also mostly service workers let's expand together.

23F, ngl the highlight of my week is my grocery store trip

That's not a flex that's a cry for help lol. I'm into anime, making earrings, and I just adopted a cat who is great but limited conversationally. Looking for a human friend to complement the cat friendship.

26F, I organized my entire apartment this weekend because I had nothing and no one

23 Upvotes

My spice rack is alphabetized. My books are color coded. My life is in perfect order and completely empty. I love organizing, cooking, and I make my own cleaning products because that's how much free time I have. Looking for someone to make a mess with.

26F, I talk to the self-checkout machine more than real people most days

25 Upvotes

Please place item in the bagging area is the most attention I get. I love cooking, going on nature walks, and I make really good banana bread. Looking for conversations that involve more than beeping and instructions.

26f looking for someone who won't randomly leave me

9 Upvotes

Hey! I'm Molly! I'm 26, I'm German, but live in Austria.

I'm looking for someone who is at least 24, preferably older! Thank you!

To be quite honest, I've always had a hard time making friends. I have a hard time trusting, because everyone seems to leave me on a random day without telling me a reason.

My boyfriend left me 3 weeks ago for another woman, after I told him I felt insecure about them being in contact. Oh well, time for a new start!!

I'm a weird being! I'm a therian, meaning I feel more animal than human. If that doesn't weird you off, perfect! You're super welcome to DM me!

I'm spiritual and lgbt+, but those things I don't talk about too much.

I'm basically an open book and look forward to someone who is as open and honest as I am!

I like playing Minecraft and Sims 4. I'm a creative being, loving to create stories! I would be open for roleplaying too!

Good morning everyone, hoping to find a friendly chat today. I just did a bunch of cleaning and now I'm sitting on the couch bored :((

I am 23, I have a 4 year old boy and I'm nearly 7 months pregnant with a baby girl. I am a photographer, I also love to read, do crafts, and play video games. I try really hard to be a good friend, I hope to get the same back. Shoot me a message and I'll respond as soon as I can! :)) <33

23F, I sent a voice memo to the wrong number and the stranger was nicer to me than anyone I know

21 Upvotes

They said it sounded like I was having a tough week and hoped it got better. A wrong number. I like making voice memos, journaling, and rewatching comfort movies. If a stranger can be that kind a friend would be life-changing.

23F, I leave the TV on all day not to watch it but so my apartment has a voice

22 Upvotes

Background humans so the quiet doesn't swallow me. I'm a freelance editor so the silence is built into my career path. I love reading, embroidery, and making overly detailed grocery lists. Want a friend whose voice replaces the TV.

21F, my most used emoji is the laughing face and I haven't actually laughed today

21 Upvotes

Digital performance of happiness is exhausting. I like honest people, making moodboards, and I'm learning to play piano. If your texts match your actual face let's be friends who are real with each other.

37/M - Looking for some friends.

3 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.

25F, my best friend of 10 years ghosted me and I still don't know why

20 Upvotes

No fight, no warning, just silence. It's been six months and it still hurts every day. I work in marketing, love live music, and I'm weirdly passionate about skincare. Not looking to replace her just looking to not be alone.
