Hey guy I'm 25M looking for someone to talk and share about stuffs I'm curious about. Im quite introvert but I'm very passionate about gaming and I don't have friends. Thank you
I’ve been noticing this pattern a lot (including in myself sometimes).
There are moments when you want to talk to someone not even about anything serious just normal conversation, but you still don’t. Either because:
- it feels awkward to initiate
- you don’t know what to say
- or it just feels like too much effort
And even when opportunities are there (college, online, etc.), it doesn’t always translate into actually talking.
I’m trying to understand this better:
- Do you feel this too?
- What usually stops you?
- If there was a way to make conversations feel more “low pressure”, what would that look like for you?
Not trying to promote anything just genuinely curious how others experience this.

Looking to make new friends. I'm a reserved person with limited replies at start but a lot of conversation when it's been a while talking( idk if this is reserved or introverted). Looking for genuine connections. Out of context of some genz slang as i just hv ideology of the millennials but curious to learn.
i'll read a thread. Something in it bothers me. I sit there trying to figure out what i actually think and then just close it.
Two hours later i know exactly what my problem was with it. By then it's useless. Is this and introvert thing specially or does everyone experience this?
So, I have been working at H&R block during tax season, and during the last few weeks, I haven't had a single day off in weeks, and its been especially awful during the last week, with me working overtime the past few days, 12 hours for the past 2. The worst part is that it feels like I'm getting used to it, not in the sense that the noise bothers me, but the fact that I feel compelled to talk more. Am i becoming less of an introvert due to this environment?
This is Pluto from India. 19 yo. I'm extremely introverted. i spend most of my time alone, inside my room listening to music with my headphones on 🎧 Lo-fi boy.
in my free time i like to watch the clouds or the surroundings.. I hate social media , I've never used social media in my entire life ( sounds crazy i know ) but that's the truth..I use WhatsApp ( to talk with family ) and YouTube ( for skills and learning )
i barely step outside my home,
i don't know, what I'm doing here on this reddit, I download reddit once or twice a month.
i guess my personality is totally different from a lot of introverts, I'm not an attention sneeker, i avoid girls ( no offense ) , i barely talk to girls since junior school ( I'm straight male, never had a girlfriend in my entire life ) i ain't got no friends, ( only one in university - cuz he understands me ) ..
in my university - my teachers and the classmates call me - the quiet One
alot of people think I'm awkward, rude or pathetic... always get blamed even when it's not mine. i hate my classmates, I'm lowkey . people go ghosting after talking to me , no clue '
powfu is my favourite artist ( I'm addicted to his songs ) ,
you'll always see me with my headphones on and it's too tough for me to make friends.. i hate people who use social medias cuz they just scroll all the time surfing thier phone's, this ain't a productive work !! I Admire David goggins since very young age, i do calisthenics, martial arts, and hit the gym..
I hate crowded places, in my entire life I've never attended a marriage ( my family was invited but, only my parents visited )
the silence is what I'm good at , i feel good when I'm quite!! that's where people misunderstood me .
i wrote this to see if I'm the only person with this personality or if there's someone else? if yes - lemme know.. i don't wanna get up votes or to impress someone, i just shared my personality
please ignore my english, english isn't my first language ( I'm upper intermediate )
peace!
So I am almost in my mid twenties, in my 25 years of life I had 2 majors crushes , the first one was in school. We used to talk a lot initially but then something happened and we almost stopped talking. I had always liked her and wondered what happened to her till recently I got to know she is getting married to someone , though I don't have any feelings for her now but I still felt bad , don't know what it is called . The same thing happened a few months ago, I had a crush on this girl for past 1 year , we were friends she didn't knew about this and I also never over stepped any boundaries ( in hindsight I believe I should have ). I knew she liked some one but got the hint that nothing is going on between them, I also had some shit going on in my personal life so never really tried to do anything. In last few months life was getting better, all personal problems were gone and though I was not going to try or confess anything because I lately realised that we are very different people but then I go go know she is talking to the person she liked and that is making me feel ...... , I don't even know what word to use ( poor vocab or there is no word).
The thing is I am an introvert guy ( you already know this since I am posting it here) and I know no matter how much I try it is very difficult confess my love , what I want to know is do things better? Do we get people in life with whom we don't have to crave for attention every moment of everyday of have to articulate every single word to send the message. I might sound desperate but I am not it is just that why this happens, why do we fall for people with nothing can happen. Just want to know how you guys came out.
P.S. Probably I have not been able to summarise what I feel but I hope you can understand.

im in secondary school right now, (to anyone who goes to a middle school or high school it’s basically just the 2 combined into 1 big school) and during the earlier days of secondary school I was a pretty outspoken person, which isnt inherently bad but I talked to all the wrong people, people who treat others like trash, bullies, yknow what I mean? 4 years later and im now dealing with the consequences of trying to befriend these people, I was pretty stupid then, those people treated and talked to me like I was the scum of the earth, yet I still tried to fit in with them. I hate them all, yet they try talk to me still even though I don’t talk to them at all, these people know a LOT of people, basically like “the popular kids” of my grade, so naturally whenever they try talk to me, a bunch of people who I’d rather not talk to ever start talking to me, those people arent even bad people just annoying tbh. Im a shell of who I once was thankfully, but the affects of my past actions are still lingering after all this time and I’m not good at telling people I don’t want to talk to them. How can I get these people away from me, it’s probably like 50 people that have tried to befriend me because of the friend group I was a part of, and only like 2-3 of them I actually want to be friends with because they are actually decent people.
Introverts living with family, how do you deal with people getting annoyed that you stay in your room a lot? I live with my brother and his wife, and she recently got upset about how much time I spend alone. For me, it’s completely normal and not personal, but I guess it comes off differently to others. Do you adjust your behavior or just let people deal with it?
I have hard time to go funeral home and wedding home social gether im crying every day because of my anxiety how to overcome almost 6 years no life
Ill go first i would either take teleportation but more in the Dr Strange direction so i can actually see where i go lol OR shapeshifting because it would be fun to be a cat for a day or other animals just to see how they see things
If there's an app that allows you to connect with other introverts, but with rooms with topics or theme, Less noise than discord, is this something you'd be interested in trying? and do you expect to be free? and what do you think want to see in it?
Hope this will be approved.
Hello i am 23M from india, my dear introvert friends. I really need a favor from you all. A `puja‘(religious ceremony) is being hosted at some relatives' place tomorrow; they have invited my family, but I really do not want to attend it. My father, mother, and grandmother all three of them are pressuring me heavily to go. Please, someone help me come up with an excuse so that they will agree to leave me alone at home and I won't have to go. I absolutely detest attending family gatherings and *pujas* because seeing such large crowds of people triggers my social anxiety. I actually suffer from social anxiety disorder. Being amidst so many people makes me feel terrible, awkward, and extremely self-conscious. Furthermore, I absolutely hate talking to any of my relatives; they just constantly keep asking the same things: "What happened? Why haven't you landed a job yet? Should we find a girl for your marriage? Honestly, it drives me up the wall, makes me incredibly nervous, and leaves me feeling utterly miserable and awkward in their company. Please, someone save me from this ordeal.
So I’m being offered a promotion to a new position at work. It should pay more which would be awesome ofc, BUT I’ll be working closely with student employees. They’re younger and I feel like they’ve crossed some of my boundaries. They’ve treated me like I’m also a student, disrespected my title, and just are too chatty! I feel guilty because they’re trying to be nice but in general I’m just annoyed by them. One of them is really nice and kept being friendly even when I started pushing them away, but the other two are now in a weird spot with me. I WANT this position, but I’m literally sitting here sleepless because I’m frustrated over these past interactions. Can someone help me out, introvert to introvert?
I developed a habit over the years, actually since my teenage years. I avoid making eye contact with people. Some notice it, others don't.
The reason is simple. I've always struggled with breakouts, and even when they're small, I still feel very insecure about them.
Back then I tried everything to distract people from noticing my face. I wore shades, caps, and bucket hats almost all the time. I would also let my hair fall around the sides of my face to cover as much as possible. It became a routine for me.
Over time something unexpected happened. I started growing a page online where I post pictures of my outfits. Most of my photos show my head facing slightly downward so my face isn't really visible. People began commenting on my fashion style and the mysterious vibe of the photos.
That slowly became my content.
I put a lot of effort into keeping up with fashion trends. Spend time going through everything from designer lookbooks to random Alibaba listings just to stay ahead of what's coming before it hits mainstream stores. It matters to me that the outfits feel current and intentional even if nobody sees my face in them.
Many people now call me a faceless model. They compliment my outfits and the mood of the pictures.
Sometimes I read those comments and smile.
Little do they know it's just an insecure girl trying to hide from the reality she sees in the mirror.
hey 22m this side physio student, anyone for talk?
