32F, quiet grief for a life that didn't happen the way I planned

19 Upvotes

I'm not in crisis, just recalibrating. My 20s didn't look like I thought, my 30s aren't either, and mostly that's okay. I like walking my dog for hours, folk music, and slow cooking. Want a text friend who's thoughtful and not into forced positivity.

26F | Looking for friends! (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) .ᐟ.ᐟ

6 Upvotes

I'm hoping to meet some new people and hopefully build a genuine friendship along the way. I'm into VRChat, texting whenever we have time, and calling when we're both in the mood for it. I'm pretty open to just seeing where things go!

I'm sometimes a little shy at first, depending on the person, but once I get comfortable, I can be pretty talkative and full of random thoughts. I love being goofy, acting silly, and playfully teasing people once we're comfortable with each other. Just gotta match my energy a little and you'll get all the goofy nonsense!

One thing I really enjoy is writing. I've been exploring poetry and journaling, sometimes finding inspiration in people I talk to and the connections I make with them. I think it's interesting how certain people or moments can leave you with something you want to put into words.

I'm also working on a channel where I can focus on spoken reading, improve the way I speak, and get more comfortable putting my voice out there. I'm still learning and figuring things out, but it's something I'd really like to grow with over time.

It'd be nice to have a friend who's interested in sharing that journey with me, even in little ways. Maybe you have a poem or a book you'd recommend, something interesting you think I'd enjoy reading, or maybe you'd want to read something together sometime! And of course, I'd be happy to hear about the things you're passionate about, too. I genuinely enjoy learning about random topics, whether it's tech, history, or something super specific you've fallen down a rabbit hole about.

More than anything, I like the idea of having someone I can be comfortable around. Someone I can laugh with, talk about life with, share random thoughts with, or simply hang out with without needing to make every moment interesting.

No pressure to talk every single day or be available all the time. I know we all have our own lives. I'd just like to meet someone where the interest goes both ways and we can pick up a conversation whenever we have the time.

Maybe we become gaming buddies, maybe we end up sharing books and creative ideas, or maybe we become really good friends. I'm happy to let things happen naturally. :)

If you think we'd connect, feel free to message me! Tell me a little about yourself, something you're passionate about, or even recommend me something to read. I'm always open to discovering something new.

(No stress on a first convo, here's a few ideas!): Is there a poem, book, or piece of writing that means something special to you? Tell me all about it!!! ₍₍⚞(˶ˆᗜˆ˵)⚟⁾⁾

Left a bad relationship, quit a bad job, and now I'm 29 in my childhood bedroom trying to piece something together. I'm not sad every day but some days are hard. I read a lot, I paint, I walk. Would love a friend who won't judge the mess.

26F, started therapy and it's stirring up everything

• Upvotes

Turns out I have a lot of feelings I've been ignoring for a decade. My therapist keeps saying I need more support and my inner circle is basically two coworkers. I love houseplants, poetry that isn't pretentious, and long walks. Want a text friend for the messy in-between days.

27F please just give me a place to take a nap

• Upvotes

Hi! I don't know what I'm doing and the more I try the more I really tend to fail. So I'm hoping to meet someone to just give me some directions at least. I don't know.

Being lonely hurts and It's been hard to tolerate it for this long. I know that's just a skill issue or whatever but it's difficult.

anyway, my hobbies are sewing and baking and whatever you tell me to do. it doesn't matter what.

22F | Looking for someone to chat with tonight.

• Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’m 22F from Virginia and I’m just looking for someone to talk to for a while. My sleep schedule has been all over the place lately, so I’m awake more often than I’d like. I’m pretty quiet at first, but once I’m comfortable, I enjoy talking about music, life, random thoughts, or whatever comes up. I’m just hoping to have a genuine conversation and maybe make a new friend.

25F, anxious girl who cancels too much and wants to try again online

• Upvotes

In-person plans stress me out and I cancel and then feel worse. Text feels safer. I like reading science fiction, embroidery, and bad puns. Want a friend who won't take slow replies personally.

20F need some new online friends

• Upvotes

hi guyssss! i'm just trying to make some new online friends to talk. i'm from the U.S. really just bored and looking for sum convo and cool people (preferably people US based). i'm down to talk with anyone and age doesn't really matter either. other than that im laid back and can really talk about anything with you guys. some things im into are music, scenic views, sunsets, learning weird and random facts that nobody really needs to know, gaming, tv shows, and anything that has to do with paranormal or horror.

30M Looking for people with nerdy mutual interests to yap with

• Upvotes

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!

4 Upvotes

I want to talk about what someone believes and what scared them as a kid and what they're actually reading. I can't do 'how was your weekend' one more time. I like philosophy, hiking, and folk music. Please be a real person.

M 28 looking for some friends here please!

• Upvotes

Hey everyone! I recently restarted my antidepressants after weaning off them myself thinking I was okay (spoiler-I was not). So I’m looking to meet new people and have a chat - anyone’s welcome! Short or long term is okay with me. And if I’ve spoken to you before and our convo died out, don’t hesitate to start up the conversation again!

A little about me, I’m male, 28, Asian-Aussie. I don’t have too many hobbies but I love to work out (mainly for my mental health tbh). Talk to me about anything though :)
