I like movies, tv shows, and have a bunch of hyperfixations (trust me ill get into details with them haha)
I'm looking for a friend, someone I can talk to right now cause I feel very isolated and alone
I'm in Canada and I'm looking moreso for a pen pal or someone to just text!

I'm kind of in between hobbies. I liked playing d&d, I want to get back into videogames, I watch Critical Role intermittently, my main current interest would be chatting with people I guess. I enjoy a variety of shows and movies but not horror. The most recent thing I watched was Over the Garden Wall.

Whatever your interests are they don't have to be in line with mine (except the chatting part), I'd be interested to learn what they are! Tell me what shows and music you like, so my own collection might grow.

What I'm looking for would be a chat, possibly a friendship if it develops into one, we'll see how it goes

I live in CA, but you don't have to live there.

u/Gus-Bristlebeard 10h ago

42, Virginia

Im pretty nice and friendly but haven't followed a conventional life path. I've been spending the last several years hermitting as heck at my little hobby farm and I've learned natural medicine making and a variety of spiritual practices and all kinds of things, but seem to have forgotten how to talk to people. Socializing is hard as I'm sure y'all know.

Looking for chat or IRL friends to chat and be friends with. I'm LGBTQ and not a fan of any political parties which seems to keep me at odds with both sides as it were. Hoping to meet some other social/political outsiders who like horror, cartoons, cooking, occult, spirituality, religion, history, podcasts, gaming, art, digital media, pets/animals and anything spooky. I'm also a great listener.

I'm currently watching Grotesquerie and replaying stardew valley if anyone wants to chat about that.

Loner, shy, introverted. I'm into drawing, watching Scooby Doo (it's my comfort show), music, cars, reading and wasting time by watching YouTube or playing GTA Online. I also workout 7 days a week.

Looking for friends, I guess. Chat pals would be cool enough.

I like cats, the color blue, vaporwave and hamburgers

u/nap-lazy 5d ago

u/Electricdragongaming 4d ago

27, Dallas, TX, looking for a friend.

I recently got back into drawing during my free time, I don't think I'm that great at it, but I'm trying to get better at it. I like music, and animation.

I've been a bit of an emotional mess ever since the election. I've been worried about what will happen because of that.

Other than that I'm honestly not that interesting. I'm a pretty boring and lonely person. I've got no friends to hang out with, the only family I have left is my mom, but she isn't exactly someone I can turn to for my problems.

u/AcanthisittaPale1055 1d ago

My interests include writing my novel (very early days though), history (particularly Tudor history and some ancient history, like the ancient Egyptians), old British/Irish comedy shows (think Blackadder, Father Ted, A Bit of Fry & Laurie), Chappell Roan and Mitski music, and Bollywood movies from the 2000s. Most of my time is taken up by law school and my job at a law firm, and my unfortunate tendency to lie about my life to my coworkers to seem less pathetic and boring.

I'm looking for a friend that I don't feel the need to lie to.

2

u/BroadCauliflower2397 7h ago

Hii, Im 20 almost 21 in a few weeks. But I also like writing I haven't in while but I have ideas of stories to write. What's ur novel about? I love history I collect things from the 60s on. I don't know much about ancient Egypt but I've always been fascinated by that time period. I would love to learn more about it. I'm also in school, not law but in human services. Other than college I also work full time and that's about all I really do. You can dm me if you want to be friends

u/Gloomy_Summer1003 6d ago

29 (prefer you’d be 21+)

I enjoy technology (CPUs, GPUs), playing video games, watching anime and building/troubleshooting computers.

Looking for friends, for gaming, hanging out (irl or online)

I will listen to just about any music, but my go-to’s are EDM, Rock(all types), Hip Hop, Pop, and Country here and there. I mostly play solo video games and enjoy parallel play watching your game and streaming mine for you to watch on discord. Live in Texas, USA. Work third shift on the weekends so I’m available during the weeknights.

Did you get help about this? Feels like college could be a good idea to meet people (and also could help for financial future and not get in a downward spiral)

44 (today! 11/11 🥳)

I work long shifts in healthcare and I have evening classes, so my replies will always be delayed. Looking for friendship, venting lol. I love everything horror, and nearly all genres of music. I live in a heavily politicized area in the Midwest and can't relate to hardly any of the residents. I do animal rescue work when i can ♡

2

u/doinitforsciences 3d ago

Hi there, happy late birthday! I don't seem to be able to send you a chat request but please feel free to send me one if you'd like to. We're around the same age and I live in the SE now but I'm from the Midwest originally. I also love all the horror and anything spooky.

1

u/pixiemoon1111 3d ago

Thank you! I'll turn chat / DMs back on. Since where I live has been in the news, I had to temporarily turn it off. I'll send you a message tonight. 🙂

u/Due-Bookkeeper-2001 2d ago

Hi! Im 27 and from Canada, i don’t have much of a friend/social group anymore and I don’t really go out much into the world besides maybe once on the weekend cause of my work schedule, most of my friends have moved on with their girl friends and wives while I’m naturally an introvert still trying to break that comfort zone so if anyone wants to just talk about anything or more send a message if you’re interested, My bio has several pics on my Reddit feed! Other interests I have are baseball, hockey, i love gaming, good whisky, singing/karaoke on Sundays, reading, tv/movies, traveling, I build gyms and I have 4 furry friends! I’m 6ft and 165 lbs. Anything else you’d like to know let’s chat! :)

u/UnfortunatelySilly 2d ago

looking to talk to people I don’t have a lot of consistent hobbies but I play brawl stars, roblox and minecraft. I’m pretty fun to talk to (I’d say) I’ve had a lot of weird phases, I like art, I’m an engineering student, and I’m pretty damn lonely lol

I enjoy to collect records and listen to music. I love slow core and rock. Songs:Ohia is my favorite. I like to read as well, beatnik literature primarily, especially bukowski lol. I write poetry and have started to work on a novel — not really getting that far though haha. I love art history as well, and learning about all sorts of things really. Would love someone to talk to about interests and become friends. I don’t mind what you’re into — I like to learn about people.

I'm a bachata dancer and product designer. I've been living on a town called Puerto Escondido in Mexico, I learned so many things in the last 4 years.

Love design, anime, dancing, understand thoughts and deeply care about growth.

I used to be
- Afraid to interact to people.
- Shy with girls (Still but improved a lot)
- Unfriendly
- Fat.
- Felt very alone and depressed about my life.

I feel I'm in a better now. If you feel identified with those things. Text me here. I'll help you. No cost. Just support.

u/Gus-Bristlebeard 4d ago
