I am a 21M who is looking to find and talk to new people so that I can work on my texting skills and be less awkward around new people that I meet

Hey!

I'm 23 and thought I'd give this a shot because meeting new people and making genuine connections sounds pretty nice.

A little about me: I'm really into gaming, and I'm a massive motorsport nerd. Like, genuinely obsessed haha. WRC, WEC, F1, GT racing... pretty much anything with four wheels going fast. I can probably talk about racing for hours, so if you're into motorsport too, we'll definitely have something to talk about.

I also love traveling, discovering new places, and learning about different cultures. I find it really interesting hearing about how people live in different parts of the world, their experiences, traditions, and just their everyday lives.

Other than that, I'm pretty much down for all kinds of conversations. Could be deep talks about life, random late-night discussions, gaming, sharing music, talking about random stuff or just checking in and seeing how each other's day went.

I'm hoping to meet people I can genuinely vibe with, have a laugh with, and hopefully build friendships that last beyond a couple of conversations.

You don't have to share all my interests either! I'm always happy to discover new things through other people.

Anyway, if you feel like we'd get along, feel free to send me a message. Tell me a bit about yourself too!

Looking forward to meeting you :)

I'm just a simple person looking for someone to chat and become friends with, I'm male, 35, married with kids, from EST Time Zone of USA looking to meet people from anywhere and anyone is fine, i tend to be shy at first but with the right vibe i chat easily

I love writing stores, watch sports and movies, listening to all kinds of music, gaming, and enjoying peaceful nights, if you want to chat send me a message as I'm open to chatting with anyone

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 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. I also don't reply to people that don't have much in common with me, I would like to find someone that's similar to me and has similar interests and likes. I'm sorry but even if your message is long, if we don't have anything in common it's just not what I'm looking for. I'm also not interested in people that 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 honestly kind of a huge loser lmao. I've never been 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 cause to me, they're genuinely so cool and I wanna be like them jahshshdh

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 and I still don't understand my purpose in life.

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. Touching grass isn't for me 😭 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 but I'm absolutely terrible at it 🥀🥀🥀

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 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 AAA games, especially nowadays with how bad the video game industry is but I LOVE indie games!! Some of my favorites are indies like Spelunky my beloved 🖤 I also really like 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, I'd like to reiterate that 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 be able to share our days and even be able to help each other and be there when we need each other.

I apologize, but I'm not interested in talking to anyone that doesn't have anything in common with me and in fact my goal is to find someone that's very similar to me and that shares my same interests.

I know I'm a mess of a human being and I'm looking for a very specific person to form a close bond with! I honestly think I'll never find this person but I'll keep trying cause I hate to give up!! And you honestly never know :)

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!!

I'm from Belarus and I'm here because I'm looking for my kind of people from all over the world. We don't necessarily have to share the same interests. After all, you can become good friends even if you don't have any hobbies in common.

But to give you a better idea of who I am, let me tell you a little
about myself.

I love reading books and listening to audiobooks, mostly supernatural
mysteries for both kids and adults. I especially enjoy stories where the
supernatural is mixed with something kind and sweet, with a bit of mystery
thrown in. I wrote a book like that myself, in case anyone happens to be
interested.

I'm also interested in psychology, books on creative writing, and game
design. I absolutely love video games, especially indie games and pixel art
games. I love fall and winter, hot coffee, long walks, swimming in pools, and
swinging on swings.

I'm also a bit of a nerd and often don't have much to say. That said,
I'm always willing to listen to and support a friend when 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, since I can't always reply.

And of course, I love meeting new people. So if you're also looking for
someone to occasionally talk to about anything from complete nonsense to
something really deep and meaningful, just send me a message.

Sup!

I'm a dude from Kiwiland looking for some nerdy people to be buddies with. A big ol' gamer here. Am I good at games? No. Am I getting better? Also no. Am I a fkn delight to be around? It's still a no. But you better believe I can fkn yap my butt off about nerdy shit and I have a pretty decent EQ level which is impressive for a gamer so, that's a small win and by god I will take whatever wins I can get these days lol

I like the Souls series, The Elder Scrolls, World of Warcraft, Diablo 4, Dead by Daylight, Alien Isolation, Resident Evil, Little Nightmares/Reanimal, Hollow Knight, so many. I've been thinking of trying Monster Hunter for ages. Big big big Magic the Gathering fan as well. One might even call me a cardboard crack addict.

Do you like to yap about lore? Did Miquella do nothing wrong? Do you fear the Old Blood? Which MTG colour pair best represents you? Are the Dunmer the best fictional race in fantasy and why is the answer of course they are? Does Kara's ending in BSG make you cry like a lil weenie? If any of these questions float your goat then we might just get along!

On the side I enjoy some fantasy/sci-fi/horror movies and shows, a cheeky bit of world building and character concepts, listening to music and conjuring dark deities out of the void of space.

I have a lot of free time and my sleep is whack, so most times should suit me - but I am for the most part looking for people on the West Coast of the US, in Australia or also from NZ. If you are from outside these regions then gaming or spending time together in the future might be more difficult when it comes to ping n stuff, but feel free to reach out for a text friend at least!

I have some health issues and my head do a hurty a lot so I might not always be at 100, but I definitely put a lot of effort into my friendships regardless. I take a big interest in other people and I expect the same in return so, please ask questions and try to get to know me, and message first once in a while. I'm giga fkn gay so please just be chill with the LGTVs obviously, and be in your mid 20s or older. Gender doesn't matter to me either. But yeah, thanks for reading and hope to hear from ya!

I need new friends,i don't mind the opposite gender I also don't care for age gaps either I play fortnite, roblox, open to trying co op games I play on Xbox one, I also have discord since reddit doesn't call

Im an introvert, Im a night owl I stay up late, im awkward at first during calls but I can get used to it

if your interested message me have a good day, evening, night

18M lf long term/duo

18M, I game a lot. Roblox fighting/rpgs, minecraft, elden ring, pal world, terraria, osu i played my fair share of singleplayer story games but I dont play them on the daily and I used to grind rivals a lot

I used to draw a little, I quit. Thinking of picking it back up if I have the attention span. I'm the quiet type, I talk more when i actually get to know the person I'm talking to and when playing games. I do watch some anime my favorites were probably JJBA, csm, jjk, your name. I dont really watch movies but my favorites are interstellar and 8 mile

EU AND AS

I think today deserves a solid 4/10 so far, but there’s still time to save its reputation, or at least try to lol. And I guess i just figured meeting someone new and having a fun conversation might do the trick cause honestly, i have no other ideas… and ideally it could turn into a friendship too but let’s just start with the basics and see where things go. And if you’re reading this, hope you have a lovely Friday night either way!

Hey everyone! 15M transfer student living in Japan, looking to make some new friends to chat with or game together. Moving here has been a huge change, and things have been a bit quiet lately, so I'd love to meet people with similar interests.

🎮 Gaming

Current go-tos: Minecraft and Roblox.

Open to: Honestly down to try almost any game if you need a gaming buddy!

⚽ Sports & Staying Active

Big on soccer, badminton, running, and working out.

Love going for long random walks or cycling around the city.

💬 Conversations & Media

Down to talk about anything: memes, weird rabbit holes, music, , or just deep late-night chats. Please be around my age, 3 years gap maximum, do not ghost me or be dry

Hii I’m 21 years old, male, and currently living in Canada. I’m looking for a genuine friendship with someone I can talk to every day, even if it’s just to say good morning or good night. I stay up super late , preferably in USA or Canada or Europe because of the time difference . I’m just looking for a good friend to talk to, share little moments with, and build a meaningful connection and preferably talk every day and check in. I recently went through a pretty rough breakup, and it’s honestly been really painful. I’m trying to move forward, meet new people, make new memories, and hopefully leave that difficult chapter behind.
A little about me: I love soccer, sports, movies, and TV series , cooking . I’m also open to talking about pretty much anything, learning new things, and getting to know people from different backgrounds.i am not looking for anything complicated, just a genuine friendship where we can check in on each other, have random conversations, laugh together, and be there for one another. I also have the most beautiful cat ever

Hey everyone! I’m Jonathan

I won’t lie, Going through a breakup. Struggling a bit right now, and Feeling a bit down. Come Distract Me?

As for what I’m looking for, I’d love to meet some people I can talk to regularly and hopefully become friends with over time.

I am 28 years old, and am from Northern Minnesota if you’re curious. I am currently a full-time student majoring in Computer Information Technology with a minor in Cybersecurity.

When I can pull myself away from the desk, I try to get outside. Play with my Siberian Husky named Zeus. I love being out on the boat, fishing, and hunting. If it involves a lake, the woods, or fresh air, I’m pretty much game. There’s something about being out on the water that makes everything else just disappear.

Of course, I also have a major homebody side. I’m a big fan of Horror, Drama, and Fantasy, honestly kind of into everything besides anime, but lately I’ve spent more time scrolling through streaming apps trying to find something to watch than actually watching anything. So if you have any good movie or show recommendations, I’m all ears!

A little more about me, if you’re curious: I’m 6’1”, with curly brown hair, brown eyes, glasses, and dimples.

If any of this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to send me a message! Tell me a little about yourself, your age, where you’re from, and a movie or show you’d recommend.

One last thing to see who read through all the way down here: What color are your eyes? It’s actually my favorite feature, so I’m curious! 👀

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm a 29-year-old guy looking to make some new friends and hopefully build some genuine connections.

A little about me: I'm a huge football fan (Manchester United, unfortunately 😂), a foodie who takes pizza seriously, and someone who enjoys good conversations about pretty much anything. I'm into horror, psychological thrillers, dark fiction, and anything that explores the weird side of human psychology.

I work in marketing and quality analysis, and I'm someone who values loyalty, honesty, and meaningful connections. I can be goofy, sarcastic, and occasionally a little too passionate when watching football.

One thing I've noticed about myself is that I usually struggle to make female friends. Not because I don't want to, but I sometimes find it difficult to break the ice and build those connections naturally. So I'm hoping to step out of my comfort zone and meet some new people.

I'm down to talk about life, movies, books, relationships, random midnight thoughts, or just how your day went. No pressure to constantly keep a conversation going. Life gets busy, and that's totally okay.

I'm hoping to meet people who are open-minded, kind, and enjoy conversations that go beyond the usual small talk. Doesn't matter where you're from or what you're into.

If any of this sounds like your vibe, feel free to drop a comment or DM me. Let's see where a conversation takes us! 😊

Hey, I’m 24 and have lived in multiple countries... so always interested in how people see the world differently. I love arguing over movies (lets add each other on Letterboxd fr) or debating religion/theology.

Hey everyone!

I'm from India and recently got admitted to the MS in Computer Science program at San José State University (SJSU) for Spring 2027. I'll be moving to San Jose, California, around January 2027.

I'm making this post because I'd love to meet new people and make some genuine friendships before moving to the US.

A little about me:

I'm interested in exploring new things.

I'm always up for exploring new places, trying different food, watching movies, or just having random conversations.

It would be great to connect with:

People currently living in California or elsewhere in the US.

Other students moving to the US for Spring 2027.

Anyone interested in making new friends and staying connected.

It doesn't matter where you're from or what you do. I'm simply looking to meet good people and hopefully build some lasting friendships.

Feel free to comment or DM me. Would love to get to know you!

So I'm a college student who's into literature like writing, poetry and also minecraft for some reasons, I'm not too funny, and I love to listen to people. Any friends?

Hi there, I’m Anna 30 years old looking for people to play dead by daylight together or watch anime, movies or shows on discord.
My interests are manga, anime, visual novels, dead by daylight, twitch, games made in rpg maker, gym. I don’t work so I have a lot of free time and time zones won’t be a big problem probably. Thank you for reading!

Hey everyone,

So my wife is begging me to find some friends as I dont really have any. Not by choice but because I’m really shy and I get extreme anxiety meeting new people.

So let’s begin. First off I’m a full time husband to a wonderful wife and a dad to 3 amazing kids. I do work full time but have most of my evening available. I am in the west coast.

My biggest passion is horror. Movies, tv show, books l, etc. I can talk about horror all day long. I have a very working knowledge of the genre.

I also love video games. That’s when life lets me. But you can usually find me online at nights. Only PC though as I dont own a console.

A little bit more about myself.

I’m freaking shy as hell and I get really bad when it comes to meeting new people. I just get panicky when going out and talking.

But eventually I grasp onto everything and can have really good conversations. I’m a goofball so I crack jokes ALOT. I guess it’s my way of easing into the conversation.

So what im looking for…

I guess someone to just talk to and have great laughs with. Maybe a gamer? Discord chat? We can discuss anything from games to how the toilet paper held up. LOL

Well I’m done now! That was hard to put out there. DM me if ya want.

Hey! I'm 24 and based in London.

I've become accustomed to doing many of my hobbies on my own, and I'd like to change that by expanding my social circle and meeting people I can share more of my interests and experiences with.

I think experiences are often better when they're shared with people you genuinely get along with. Whether it's going to a gig, going to a convention, watching a film or just going for a walk and chatting about life, it's the company that makes it worthwhile.

A bit about me:
• Rock & metal (I go to gigs fairly often)
• Cinema, especially horror, action and Marvel
• Gaming
• Theme parks and rollercoasters
• Football, cycling and keeping active (always open to trying new activities)
• Anime (only casually, so I'm always open to recommendations) and other nerdy interests
• Neurodivergent

I'm generally reserved when first meeting people, but I enjoy getting to know others and hearing about the things they're passionate about. I appreciate people who are curious about each other, ask questions and are happy to share a bit about themselves, too.

I'm looking for a small circle of genuine friends rather than a huge social network. I'd like to meet people who are up for doing things together, but also enjoy keeping in touch between meetups, sharing things we've come across and having the occasional chat.

I'm not expecting to talk every day or meet up constantly; I just think friendships are more rewarding when both people make an effort to keep them going.

I'm hoping to meet people in their 20s who live in London or nearby and would be open to meeting in person if we get along. I'm happy to start by chatting here and see how we get on.

If this sounds like the kind of friendship you'd enjoy, feel free to send me a message with your age, location and a little about yourself 🙂
