I could really use a friend right now. It’s currently a little past midnight and I’m staring at the ceiling trying to will myself to sleep ( it’s not working).

I’m in a spot in life where everything feels so exhausting and I’m going through it, but I’m trying. I feel like my friends aren’t very responsive when I stop replying because I’ve always been the “strong” friend, the let me drop everything and help you out, friend.

Anyways, if someone could dm me, I’d appreciate it!
Have a good night yall

FYI; I’m 27F

37F, going through a slow-motion divorce and holding it together

9 Upvotes

Amicable but sad. Two decades of my life is ending gently. I love and hate that it's not dramatic. I like gardening, oil painting, and my two big dogs. Want a friend who can hold complicated things without needing to solve them.

Just looking for someone to talk to.

Honestly, I’ve been wanting to make some genuine friendships lately. Just looking for someone to talk to and Someone I can laugh with, share random thoughts with, and talk about life with.

Adult friendships are hard to make, and sometimes you just need a friend. If you’re also looking for a genuine friendship, my messages are open.

How do you start a friend group?

• Upvotes

I’m looking for like friends that hang out at a house (mine, there’s, doesn’t matter), park, get adventures, do things together that kind of thing. I’m 25F and would ideally like to have friends around my age but I also know jobs and school is a thing. I’m no longer in school, even when I was no one was my age. Any tips?

I also know this is very idealistic, can you blame me?

Hello! Im a 24yo woman looking for some sincere and caring friends! I have a long term boyfriend, so i am not interested in you flirting or trying to get some naughty stuff from me.

She's living her dream and I'm so happy for her and also I miss her constantly. The time difference makes real conversation almost impossible. I need someone in a friendlier timezone. I like tarot, tea, and true crime podcasts. Want someone who values consistency.

Gamers? A bestie? 24F EST

• Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m 24F, located in EST, and honestly... I’m so sick of dry texters.

If I’m the only one asking questions, leading the conversation, or getting back low-effort "I'm good hbu" responses, I’m out. I’m looking for real, genuine connections with people who actually want to get to know each other and match my energy. I want a bestie I can send random daily updates to, yap with, and eventually hop on calls with once we click!
I’m also a big gamer and would love someone to play with regularly!

My main games right now are:
Marvel Rivals
Overwatch
COD (I have them all!)
Rocket League
Overall, I just want a genuine friend to game with, vent to, and be actual besties with. Being in EST or a similar time zone is a huge plus so our schedules actually line up!
If you’re engaged, non-dry, and think we’d vibe, drop a comment or send me a DM with a little bit about yourself (and what games you're currently into)!

49M - Looking for horror movie recommendations to celebrate halloween season

2 Upvotes

So to get into the Hallow's eve spirit I'd like some horror movie recommendations. I don't see horror films as often as I would like and maybe it's time I do something about that. The last few I've seen were vampire related (Nosferatu classic and remake and Abigail). I'm thinking of maybe visiting the Predator franchise and rewatch the first 2 (been ages since I last saw them. 90's i think), but maybe there are other more enticing options.

Drop me some suggestions 😁

I'm often up late at night with my thoughts and would love to either share them with someone or just about anything that comes to mind, whether it being what you're into, what you do to become a better version of yourself, existential questions, your pick. I'm a bit shy so if you lead I have no issue with that..let me know what you're thinking of, where you're from and how old you are

It's been three months and I still reach for the phone. She was the person I called when I needed to feel safe. I love baking her recipes, gardening, and reading. Want a friend to fill some of the quiet, not replace her.

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

7 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!

35F Can't Sleep, Even Though I Have Work Tomorrow

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

It’s one of those nights when I can’t seem to fall asleep, even though I have work tomorrow. So I thought I’d stop by and see if I might meet some kind people here.

I’m 35F, living in the US. I’m someone who truly appreciates the little things in life. A good cup of coffee, a delicious homemade meal, a beautiful sunset, or a conversation that makes me smile can turn an ordinary day into something special.

I might be a little quiet at first, but once I feel comfortable with someone, I really enjoy getting to know them and sharing stories about everyday life.

I’d love to meet genuine, kind-hearted people who enjoy chatting about their day, sharing funny stories, exchanging cultural experiences, or simply checking in on each other after a long day. I believe the best connections happen naturally, without pressure or expectations.

Sometimes, even a simple conversation with the right person can make a long day feel a little lighter. 🤍

If you're also looking for a genuine connection and enjoy the little things in life, feel free to say hi! I'd love to hear a little about you.
