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 22-25 25F | Looking for sweet lowkey connection and an escape from life!⊹ ࣪ ˖ ꒰ঌ ໒꒱

22 Upvotes

25 | F

haiii! ♡

I’m looking for a sweet, caring connection and a little anonymous escape from the busy world. Someone I can get cosy with, chat about anything and everything, and hopefully make each other’s days a little brighter ໒꒰ྀི ˶> ˕ <˶꒱ྀི১

I’m a little shy and can be quite awkward at first, so I’d love someone a bit more assertive who doesn’t mind taking the lead, asking questions, and helping me come out of my shell. A sweet, affectionate, caring person who genuinely wants to get to know me would be ideal! I've been under the weather recently so some cosy company would be lovely.♡

I’d love to keep things anonymous, just a little private corner of the internet where we can be ourselves without sharing personal details we aren't comfortable with! (this isn't me saying I won't share anything at all)

A tiny bit about me: I’m 25 and love reading, horror movies, cosy games, trashy reality television and falling down strange little rabbit holes about true crime and all things weird and wonderful.

Please tell me your age and gender in your first message!♡

If you’re a sweet soul who wouldn’t mind a shy little chatterbox taking a while to warm up, come say hiiii! ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა

Long-term Looking for longterm friends..

6 Upvotes

Hi! 👋 I'm a 30-year-old (F)who's looking to make some new friends and find people I actually vibe with. Life's better when you have people to geek out with, send random memes to, or just chat about absolutely nothing.

I'm a massive gamer, especially when it comes to retro games. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker will always have my heart, and Paper Mario is one of my all-time favorites. I also spend way too much time on Stardew Valley and The Witcher.

When I'm not gaming, I'm probably reading a crime or thriller novel, binging crime shows, or watching horror movies. Give me a good mystery or something creepy, and I'm happy.

I'm pretty laid-back, love laughing, and can be a little sarcastic once I get comfortable. I'm just looking for genuine people to talk to, game with, share recommendations, or just be complete nerds together. Bonus points if you can appreciate Zelda, have book recommendations that will keep me up all night, or can convince me to start another game even though my backlog is already out of control.

If you think we'd get along, don't be shy—come say hi! 😊

Age 30-39 [30M] I'm so lonely and dunno who to tell

• Upvotes

Title. I'm 30M, I have a decent job, good friends, and hobbies, but I'm just soul-crushingly lonely. I've been single for like 2.5 yrs now. I don't really have anyone to tell as despite having good friends that would feel bad and check in on me if I talked to them, I don't really want pity and I'm specifically missing companionship, not just friendship and they can't really help with that.

Hey, my spooky people. How have you been lately? Any good horror movies, creepy stories, or weird little obsessions keeping you entertained?

I’m looking for someone to have a nice conversation with tonight. We can talk horror, gothic stuff, the paranormal, dark fiction, or whatever random thing crosses our minds.

No pressure to become lifelong friends or talk every day. Just a nice conversation and some company for the night.

So, how’s your night going?

Hello party ppl! I'm here in hopes of making some online besties cuz I'm from a super small area with nothin' but cows and tumbleweeds!!!! It's crazy boring here so I spend most of my time online trying to make friends with little success so far. I love PC gaming even tho I'm kinda bad at it because of a hand disability (╥ ᴗ ╥). It would be awesome to meet more gamers cuz atm I have no one to play with! I love Minecraft, Project Zomboid, World of Warcraft, and Fortnite! I grew up with all brothers so I'm a bit of a tomboy and people always tell me I have unc taste lmao. I would love to expand my horizons w/ games but the trouble is finding ppl willing to play with me! It can take me a while to warm up to new people and I def prefer chatting before jumping into voice calls. Other stuff I enjoy is painting, anime, cosplay, and knitting. And I LOVE animals! I have so many little critters. I love seeing ppls pets! I'm taking a break from college rn due to some health issues so I deffff have time to chat with most anybody!

Long-term 30F | I am bored atm. Anyway, Here's a Potato 🥔

4 Upvotes

Hello/Salam 👋
How are you?

Introvert, positivity lover, video game enthusiast, bookworm, and cooking enthusiast. Calm, friendly, and funny (I think 😂). I can talk for hours once I’m comfortable, but making the first move is the hard part. Currently working on myself, learning Arabic, and exploring baking. 📚✨

Not entirely sure what I’m looking for, just genuine, honest people and good conversations. I trust my gut and go with the flow. 🤍 It is so hard to develop good connections with good people.

💌 Include your age, gender, location, and a little about yourself!

Age 26-29 27 M US - Looking for a long-term friendship

3 Upvotes

Hello person on the Internet!

I'm looking for more long-term friends. Emphasis on long-term. Please don't message me if you're the type that ghosts after 1-2 messages. Finding that here feels like finding a needle in a haystack.

Outside of work, I like to disconnect and ideally be away from screens. I enjoy going on a long walk, building a Lego set, taking a night drive, trying a new café, finding hidden gems in the city, or cranking the music on a night in.

It would be great if you were local to the northeast US but not required. Just please be within a few hours of my time zone. And please tell me about yourself in your message, don't just say "hey".

Age 22-25 25F | Europe - Slightly peculiar girl looking for a best friend!

16 Upvotes

Hello! :D

This might be kind of a long post, since I am looking for someone that I can really vibe with on a deeper level! I appreciate it if you actually read the whole thing and only respond if you truly can see us being long-term friends. I probably won’t respond if you send a very simple message, tell me about yourself!

I’m a 25 year old lady from Sweden. I’d say that I’m a pretty happy person and I like to live a fairly simple but whimsical life! Cozy living is important to me, I live with little bunnies, I have cute houseplants I care for, I love trying out different teas, I love stuffed animals, I own way too many blankets and I fucking love pastries. :]

I have also been cursed with anxiety, I think I pissed off some magical entity in a previous life or something. It was significantly worse when I was younger though, these days I’m mostly fine but sometimes I have trouble sleeping or get overwhelmed easily (I’m a bit of a crybaby lol). I refuse to yield to that dumb stuff though!!! I’ve decided that one day I will be free from it, that day might just be when I’m like 87 years old or something but I have patience. Due to anxiety stuff I’ve always had a very small social circle and I don’t think I have energy for much social stuff, so realistically I’m only looking for one friend to get close to. I usually feel like people don’t understand me very well and that people tend to assume things about me that are not accurate at all, which makes me awkward and distant.

My biggest hobby is video games, I play mainly on PC or Nintendo Switch. I play mostly single-player games, some of my favorites are Outer Wilds, Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3, Expedition 33 and Hollow Knight Silksong. Some multiplayer games I like are Nightreign, Project Zomboid, Necesse, Civ V, Factorio and sometimes Sea of Thieves. Hopefully you have a similar taste in games, I love nerding out and talking about games that are important to me but I don’t really have any friends that share my appreciation for a good story! With the right person I could also be down to watch you play a game that I love, but that really has to be with the right person or I won’t be able to resist backseat gaming lol.

I like reading a lot. I'm a big fan of The Hobbit and LOTR, Flowers for Algernon is also a favorite of mine! I also like making art, currently I’m very into oil pastels but I also like other mediums like digital art, watercolor and plain ol’ pencil. My dream is to get a good setup for oil painting!

Some more fun facts about me:

- I love the moon and the stars!

- For a very very long time I genuinely thought that Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven was only a soundtrack piece from a Hamtaro game.

- I looove Hunter x Hunter.

- I’m vegan for the animals, it’s an important part of me but not something I feel the need to discuss all the time.

- I tend to get obsessive about musicals, I haven’t seen/listened to many but I genuinely get obsessed with them one at a time for months on end! Currently I’m all about Hadestown. I’m very much a theatre kid at heart and I love singing. I have no one to share this interest with. D:

- I love being horizontal as much as possible.

- Forever traumatized by the walrus episode of Pingu. :[

My only real requirements are that you are 22+, not a mean person and enjoy both text and voice chats! I’m very LGBTQ+ friendly and your gender identity doesn’t matter to me. I don’t really mind if you are a decent bit older than me or if you live far away (as long as it’s still on earth, I think). I really like people that are good at texting, I think I’m able to bond with someone fairly quickly in good text conversations and it usually makes me excited to wait for a nice thought-out reply. :] I always say that I’d thrive if we still lived in times where people sent proper letters!

My hope is to find someone that feels like a safe place and can truly be a real friend. I’m fiercely loyal once I get comfortable with someone but of course it takes quite a bit of work to get there! :D

Age 22-25 22M Frenchie looking for goofy peps

4 Upvotes

Heyyyaaaa :) I’m 22M from France (yeah stinky country I know 😔✊). But I can actually speak proper English ! (unless I'm tired asf or my french just decide to randomly take over 🥹)

I’m currently away from home doing a Master degree in History, Medias and Mediation !

When I’m not busyyy with uni i mostly play video games like Overwatch or Hearts of Iron IV. On Overwatch I'm mostly a support main (Mercy wallet victim here 💅💅) but I also enjoy playing other roles ! Also I really like playing Winston!!! AND I ACTUALLY HAVE A WINTON OVERWAT TSHIRT AND A PLUSHIE (if you ever want to see 😎)

I don’t listen to a lot of music but when I do it’s usually metal or Queen or will wood (Brian May lover forever 🫦🫦). I also collect vinyls, mostly Queen but also Sparks, Franz Ferdinand, and Will Wood (what a hottie 🥹).

Outside of that I love baking and cooking (when I have timeeeeee) and if you ever want to see just ask me :) I’ll gladly share what I madeeeee

As for pets I’ve got two cats and a dog one of my cats has diabetes, but he’s still the bravest and moodiest kitty in the world c:

I’m pretty shy in real life but online I’m all in for chaotic energy and dumb jokes (whoopsie ? 🫣) OH ALSO my favorite shows are The Office (Kevin crushing the turtle lives rent-free in my head), Breaking Bad, and Better Call Saul !!! Also the new pluribus series is a masterpiece imo.

As of right now I'm starting to draw more and more and get busier in my life. I'm not the best at drawings but I wouldn't mind getting some tips ! also wish I could read more. I'm also going on walks more ! Feels good to feel the natureee

I’m mostly looking for people to chat with and ideally long-term. I really enjoy sarcastic, open conversations and I’m quite talkative at first c: I usually start chatting here on Reddit and slowly move to Discord if things go well (which I won't doubt if you've read this far 👉👈)

⚠️ Also just wanted to say that if you don’t make the effort to introduce yourself I won’t make the effort to reply or keep the convo going !

And last thing if you've read this far and decided to message me it'd be fun if you tell me your goofiest favorite word and why :)

Wishing y'all a wonderful day/evening :)

I’m Nick, a 24-year-old guy from Kentucky. I’m looking to make some friends.

I’m into music, tv & movies, sports, cars, cooking, gaming, hiking & more! Currently I’m watching Orange Is The New Black (almost finished with that). I play on PC, Xbox or PS, so if you want a below average gaming buddy to slow you down in whatever game you’re playing, I’m your guy for the job. 😎

I am the manager at my family’s pizzeria, live in a national forest near a huge man-made lake & my favorite flavor of Red Bull is the White Peach (see, I’m full of interesting things to talk about 😂).

Not really into chat-hookups (I want a real friend). Also, strictly SFW, please. 🙏

Reach out if you wanna chat! Bonus points if you’re in the same time zone and around the same age as me but all are welcome! Have an awesome night!
