Looking for friends preferably female friends coz i got 50 dms just from guys 😭 not a single female dm like wtf bro 😭

hey everyone anyone from Europe?

Lately everything feels a bit too quiet in the wrong ways. I keep catching myself staring at walls, scrolling aimlessly, wanting to talk but not knowing who to talk to. I’m just looking for someone real. Someone who actually shows up. Someone who doesn’t disappear when things get quiet.

I’m 24, currently floating through life with way too much time to think. I love yapping, I talk nonsense, I overexplain, I ramble until it somehow turns into something deeper. I love when the effort is mutual, when replies don’t feel like I’m begging for attention. Please don’t be dry. Try to talk. Respond faster. If you’re always busy, please don’t bother texting. I’ve done my time with people who only remember me when they’re bored.

I like baking, movies, gaming, chess, reading, writing, guitar, long walks, voice calls and pretending I’ll ever finish half the things I start.

Mentally, I come with the ADHD + BPD expansion pack, clingy DLC included, but also a lot of warmth, honesty, and way too much empathy for my own good. I’ll listen, I’ll care, I’ll match your energy.

If your first message is just “hi,” I’ll assume you’re not real. Say something weird. Tell me your favorite thing to do, your most irrational fear, or the song that ruins you every time. Just say something that feels like you mean it give a nice intro pls

As I get older, I find it more difficult for me to make friends nowhere I am; whether it's in person or online. I'll be talking to someone for a few days and then all of a sudden, they become a ghost. Honestly I should accept and acknowledge that it's life, however I'm sometimes a bit stubborn. Anyways, does anyone want to just talk about whatever?

(important note)

Reposting old profile

I’m posting again because I haven’t met anyone who truly understands my life or wants something real.

I’ve had a few conversations before, but people often disappeared after a message or two, and honestly, that gets exhausting.

I understand not every connection works, but I’m only looking for something genuine now

so please reach out only if you’re serious, honest, and willing to communicate with respect, even if things don’t work out

If you’re sincere, you’re welcome if not, please respect both our time

second important talk about children

I’d like to have children, but I’m willing to compromise if my partner feels differently

Assalamualaikum. My name is Arsalan Ahmed.

This is my third time posting here, and I've decided something if I'm going to do this, I'm not going to flatten myself into a list of qualifications. Because the truth is, I've spent 31 years learning that life isn't a resume it's a story And mine doesn't fit neatly into categories.

(Am not disable by birth)

I used to walk and now I use a wheelchair.

The facts, since we need them

I'm 5'9", average build, and I use a wheelchair. I live in Azad Kashmir with my parents and two sisters in a house that smells like my mother's cooking and sounds like my sisters' laughter. I completed Intermediate, and I run a small business nothing that'll make headlines, but it's mine, it's halal, and it keeps me rooted in something real.

But here's what I actually want to tell you:

There's a certain loneliness that comes with being seen as "less than" before anyone knows your name. The wheelchair arrives before I do

It sits in the room like a verdict. And I've watched women kind women, good women hesitate, not because they're cruel, but because they've been taught that love is supposed to look a certain way.

Strong ,Tall ,Able-bodied. Successful in all the visible ways.

And I get it ,I do

We're all products of stories we didn't write

But here's the thing I've had time to think Years of it. Time to sit with the uncomfortable questions most people spend their lives running from: \\\*What am I worth if I can't perform strength? What does it mean to be a man when the world measures manhood in things I can't provide? What is love if it's not transactional

And somewhere in all that sitting, all that silence, I found something. Not answers exactly, but a kind of clarity.

I know what matters.

Not because I read it in a book or heard it in a khutbah, but because life stripped away everything decorative and left me with the bones of things Faith, Honesty and Loyalty. The way my mother's hand feels when she prays for me. The weight of a promise kept. The sacred, terrifying vulnerability of letting someone see you all of you and trusting they won't turn away.

I pray. Not perfectly, but sincerely. I think about Allah, about mercy, about the fact that every single human body is temporary and fragile, and somehow we've built entire hierarchies around pretending otherwise.

What my life looks like:

Quiet, mostly I wake up, I manage my business, I joke with my sisters, I think too much, I pray, I hope. I have conversations that matter about faith, about meaning, about the small dignities that make life worth living. I'm not interested in surface-level anything. I've spent too long underneath surfaces to waste time on them now.

My family is simple. Religious without being rigid. Warm without being overbearing. My father works, my mother runs the home like a gentle commander, and my sisters Allah bless them treat me like a person, not a project.

What I'm looking for and here's where I need you to really hear me

I'm not looking for a savior. I'm not looking for someone to "overlook" my disability like it's a flaw they're graciously ignoring. I'm not looking for pity dressed up as love.

I'm looking for a woman 20 to 35, though age is just a number compared to what actually matters who understands that strength isn't about what your body can do. It's about what your heart can hold.

Maybe you're someone who's been told you're too much or not enough Too religious. Too serious. Too quiet. Not ambitious enough , Not modern enough. Maybe you've felt invisible in a world that only sees women one way.

Maybe you've wondered if there's a man out there who'd value your sincerity over your degree. Your loyalty over your looks. Your faith over your career trajectory.

Here's what I can offer:

Not a fairytale. Not a life without struggle. But a partnership built on something that won't crumble when life gets hard—because life is already hard, and I'm still here, still whole, still hoping.

I will never lie to you. I will never make you feel small to make myself feel big. I will never treat you like an accessory or a caretaker or anything other than my equal, my companion, my partner in this strange, sacred journey.

I want children

insha'Allah not because it's expected, but because I believe in building something that outlasts us. I want a nuclear family where we create our own rhythms, our own traditions, our own little world of meaning.

(but I’m willing to compromise if my partner feels differently)

I'm hoping to marry within 6 to 12 months, but only if it's right. Only if it's real.

Here's my question not rhetorical, genuinely

What if the man you're supposed to be with isn't the one who looks strongest, but the one who's learned what strength actually means?

What if love isn't about finding someone who's never been broken, but someone who's been broken and chose to remain kind anyway?

What if the most radical thing you could do is choose connection over convention?

I'm not saying I'm perfect. I'm not even saying I'm easy. I'm saying I'm real, and I'm here, and I'm asking with as much courage as I can gather if there's a woman out there who's been waiting for someone to ask her to be real too.

If that's you or if you know a sister whose heart beats to this same strange, stubborn rhythm of hope please, reach out.

Not because you feel sorry for me. Because you feel something shift when you read this. Because you're tired of pretending that what the world values is what you value. Because you believe, even just a little, that maybe love is bigger than we've been told.

May Allah guide us to what's written for us, even when it doesn't look like what we expected.

JazakAllah Khair.

Im bored and would love some conversation to help fill my day! I love videos games, I play the ukulele, I love to make perler beads, and I love horror movies! But im down to talk about anything as long as we keep it platonic!

what moment do you remember most with them?

I wanna find open minded friends

I've been on reddit for over a month now but I struggle to make good friends who are not just looking to flirt. some things about me; I love watching movies and anime. I do cosplay sometimes and In general I love fashion! I'm waiting for ur dms 😇

As a night owl It’s difficult making & maintaining friends ! Im a 23f who likes to listen to metal and make art! I dabble in stained glass work and other jewelry making.

Tend to anime sometimes (dorohedoro, onepiece, jjk, spyxfamily..) list can go on

Currently have two kitties who chill with me all day 🐈🐈. If any of this interests you message me!

Just looking for random chats. I’m into movies and series (huge thriller fan). I love scrolling through social media and YouTube. Huge true crime fan. I’m more of a homebody and introverted. I’m also an episode girlie so if you read stuffs on it that’s so cool.

I am 22F and I want a girlie who is really good at dating-related stuff. Please comment so i can dm u. Thank u😊

Is it just me, or is it time for some new energy? I’m 20yo and looking for someone special to chat with! I love meeting new people and seeing who I really vibe with. If you’re looking for a consistent chat buddy and a meaningful connection, I’d love to hear from you!

Hello everyone, I’m Cookie! I like gaming, reading, and occasionally watching shows or movies, anime included. I like idol anime! And I love rodents, I had a smol angry hamster ☺️ looking forward to meeting some nice people and making new friends. Anything more you want to know, you can ask in DMs.

My favorite game genre is RPG. As of recently I’ve been getting into the entirety of the elder scroll game series. I’m in love with oblivion by now. I generally love story-driven games and ones with fantasy aspects. My favorite game is BG3!

I like shows and movies that are lighthearted and fun. I’m usually not into tragedy. But hey, I like Madoka Magica.

Anyone can dm me! But I’ll appreciate a little intro and do tell me your gender and age!

This has happened to me many times. I don’t want to generalize, because I have also met some really great people here and became good friends with them. But usually, when I start talking to someone, the conversation goes really well at first. I try my best to listen, be understanding, and I even tell them that if they ever want to vent or feel lonely, they can always message me.

I try to give my 100% but then once they ask where I’m from and I say India, they just stop replying or block me.

I’ve been quite lonely, depressed, and isolated for a long time, and I genuinely enjoy making international friends. But it’s been hard lately. I know Indians don’t always have the best reputation online, and maybe that plays a role. I try not to take it personally, but it still makes me feel sad sometimes, because all I really want is a genuine connection and to talk to new people around the world.

That being said, I know there are still a lot of good people out there. Your gender, age, or nationality doesn’t matter to me.

If anyone wants to talk about anything, feel free to message me. I’m someone who will actually put in the effort.

TLDR:
- 18m
- 5’8
- Hoping to find someone to chat and click with (maybe someone tall?)

Hey,

Just looking to meet some new people and see who I click with. Also on the look out for convos or interesting stories to listen to. If it turns into something more, cool 👍

About me:
- PC (gaming laptop) gaming, board games, TTRPGs
- Anime, manga, manhwa, manhua
- Watch a lot of yt essays + random documentaries
- Music is mostly rock/hiphop
- Working on my own ttrpg thing
- Kinda into aerospace + history

I’m pretty chill and a bit quiet at first but I open up fast if the convo’s good. I can do deeper talks or just random stuff.

One small thing, I do have a preference and feel as if I click better with taller girls (just a comfort, ease of mind, or feeling of openness thing).

If you drop a message, say a bit about yourself or I guess a simple “hi” works :)

Hey. This might need a little backstory. Ive always tried to make friends online. And met some decent people too. I dont look for just short term fun friends. I want friends you genuinely care about. Even if you only talk once a month about each others lives and share experiences.

I found one similar girl. We talked a lot. For months. We genuinely felt connected. Like we were enjoying talking to each other and knowing about other person. Tbh I really started caring about her life. Her problems and stresses. And we never had a bad interaction.

But about after a year. She just started replying with 1 or 2 words. The bare minimum she could do to answer a question. She never asks me anything anymore. Just reply to what I say with a word. And if I dont message her for months, She never messages me first.

She has never ghosted me. Which feels almost worst. Like shes not ignoring me. Its like I dont matter anymore.

Honestly sometimes I wish I had this ability. Just stop caring about people youve talked to for years. Atleast life would be less painful.

Hello all!!! I am a 30F from the USA looking for longterm friends online!!

A little about me is I live in the Midwest, I love video games, being outdoors (did I mention I'm kind of a contradiction? 😂), driving, taking photos of nature. I am a collector or frog items and natures treasures (such as stones, shells, etc). I would absolutely live to meet some people to chat with about anything. I love deep conversations, dark humor, and playing around! Females and males both welcome! I hope my post reaches the right people. 😊

I am bored at work today and looking to meet some ppl to talk to maybe for daily chats if we click

Location doesn't matter as I really enjoy meeting ppl from outside of Aus. Just be prepared for the time difference :P

I won't reply to one word msgs, please say something about yourself

I dress a bit alternative and have coloured hair and tattoos, love horror movies, fitness, finding new places to go walking or taking photos of absolutely random stuff, varied music but lots of edm

Done the things. Meetup events, coworker happy hours, saying yes to stuff just to be around people. None of it converted into actual friendship until the approach changed completely.

The thing nobody says clearly enough is that variety kills it. Going to a different event every week means you're always a stranger. What actually works is repetition in the same place with the same people until you become someone they recognize and look for. That shift, from new face to expected presence, is the actual threshold and it only happens through consistent return, not through trying more things.

The other piece is contact volume. In-person recurring stuff builds slow, maybe one night a week if you're lucky. Filling the gaps with weeknight online stuff like game nights helps a lot because friendship needs frequency not just occasional meetups, and most in-person formats don't give you enough of it alone.

Last one: someone has to move first and it's almost never anyone else. Messaging "that was fun, want to grab coffee?" after an event works more often than expected because everyone wants the same thing and nobody wants to be the one who reaches first.
