I’m quite shy and am a homebody so I struggle making friends in person and have become a bit of a loner. I really like to game so I’m always down to do that with friends! I also love Star Wars so I can always happily yap about that when I’m comfortable. I also enjoy horror movies, some animes, comic cons, baking, art journaling, and scrapbooking. I’m also the friend to send a bunch of TikToks so pls be willing to accept that lmao. I’m really just looking for a genuine connection and close friend. I’m in a weird spot in my life right now and it would be great to have support. And fair warning my humor is v dry, sarcastic and lots of dad jokes..

I try posting in make friend communities and I get a few messages at first but then people either are dry, lose interest after a couple messages, or get really weird. I just want one friend that I can actually talk to on a daily basis and not just be stuck talking to on Reddit messages bc anytime I’m like we could talk on something else (bc I don’t want to always be opening Reddit in public) I’m either ghosted or get some excuse as to why they don’t want to. And that’s fine if you’re not comfortable with it but my main posts always say I’d like to move off Reddit eventually bc I want an actual friendship, where we can send tiktoks to each other, snaps, and game (I hate gaming alone but always am). I think I’m a good friend or at least decent so idk why I struggle keeping them. Maybe it is me? I’ve just always struggled making and keeping friends since I was a kid. I’m 27 now and see no change. I thought once I was an adult it would be easier but I was wrong I guess. I’m also in just a very odd spot in my life right now and I’d appreciate a friend who could distract me. Am I asking for too much? Maybe.

I’ve tried a couple shops out here and around Champaign but I’m never fully satisfied with the work, shops are just not doing it anymore. I used to see a nail tech in Peoria but I can’t justify that far of a commute that often. I’ve tried looking on facebook and tiktok but have come up short so if anyone has any recommendations I’d greatly appreciate it!! Thank you in advance:)
