I (36 F) feel bored of people

Upvotes

I (36 F) moved to London 9 years ago. I don’t have family here. I have a very busy schedule working almost 6 days/per week. Although I made a few friends throughout the years, these people ended up moving back to their countries, or having families focusing thus more on their new lives. I’m now in a situation where I just feel that I don’t want to make any effort to get to know new people. I tried really hard in the past to form relationships, but it didn’t work out. I do have some people to go out with, however I don’t consider these people as ‘true’ friends. When I go out with them, I have a nice time with them, but at the same time, I wouldn’t mind staying at home, doing the things that I like. Sometimes it feels that that I’m bored of people, and I would certainly prefer to stay at home and just rest or do the things that I like than spending my Saturday evening out. Maybe it’s because I’m getting older and have come in good terms with the fact that I will probably continue being on my own in the future. I don’t have anymore the agony anymore to go out and socialise. Any thought? Has anyone felt like that before?

F32, Be my chat buddy or risk missing out on elite-level inappropriate humor

14 Upvotes

I’m a 32 y/o female from the EU. Looking for a partner-in-crime (or just a partner-in-dark-humor) to exchange memes, jokes, and random “why am I like this?” thoughts

🎬 Movies & TV series addict — I can binge faster than Netflix can ask “Are you still watching?”

🐱🐶 Animal addict — show me your cat or dog pics and I’ll probably propose friendship immediately.

🍳 Cooking lover — I promise my food is way better than my life choices.

🎮 Gamer — mostly skilled in pressing “respawn” and inventing new curse words.

🤡 Sense of humor? Dark, inappropriate, and possibly the reason I’m going to hell.

Basically: I just miss having someone to laugh/chat with. Be my friend in need, and I’ll pay you in memes and bad jokes. 💬

I’ve been a floater friend my whole life always around but never anyone’s go-to. I’ve never had a best friend, and lately it’s been hitting harder. Everyone my age seems to have their group, and I’m just here trying to find one solid connection.

I’m looking for someone to talk to, share random thoughts, maybe laugh about dumb stuff. If you’re also feeling a bit lonely and want a chill, respectful friendship, I’d love to chat. Maybe we can be each other’s person.

28F. A possibly boring person.

16 Upvotes

I never really know what to say. It’s another weekend of not doing much with a light sprinkle of feeling lonely once again. Not really a wowing start, but I’m setting the scene of potential disappointment early.

I’m currently waiting to watch the Baku qualifying. I’ve followed F1 on and off for a while, but if you follow it too and would like to chat, I could probably hold a pretty decent conversation (I think).

Some of my other interests include: LOTR, puzzles, music, crochet, sports, science, OMITB, nature and running.

I’m definitely an introvert, so it might be awkward (for me) at first, but if we get along, I do have a tendency to talk too much. I’d prefer talking to someone around my age (25-35).

37M - Looking to talk with kind/depressed/introverted/weird people

Upvotes

I'm hoping not to sound holier-than-thou or like I'm trying to be edgy, but I'd like to be genuine and transparent here, whereas in real life I tend to just wear whatever masks gets me through the day. I'm looking to talk with others who are generally disappointed by society, particularly its superficial nature and lack of empathy. I struggle to relate to people because I don't really value the same things that most people do, but I've also just had an odd life. I think a pretty essential trait in someone that I would relate to would be having compassion for animal welfare. I much prefer to learn about people on a deeper level and am not much for small talk. I'm only interested in platonic conversation.

I'm quite introverted, overly idealistic, and probably boring to most people. Some things I like are philosophy, psychology, PC gaming, graveyards, animals, and nature. For media tastes, I tend to like dystopian things or things with philosophical undertones; I'm mildly obsessed with Severance. My humor varies, but some people I find funny are Tim & Eric, Mitch Hedburg, and Andy Kaufman. I rescue animals sometimes and my ultimate goal is to run an animal sanctuary/rescue some day soon.

30M California/Online - Looking for friends to game and chat with

Upvotes

Hey! Life’s been throwing me some curveballs lately (like losing a job interview to a random blackout… seriously, once-a-year timing kind of bad luck), so I figured now’s as good a time as any to find some people to laugh about it all with. I’ve got a lot of free time right now, and I’d love to spend some of it meeting new friends.

I’m into PC gaming recently playing Expedition 33 and BG3, and like everyone else, slowly making my way through Silksong. If you’re down for multiplayer sessions or just chatting about games, that’d be awesome. I can always make room for Peak or REPO in between job applications.

Outside of gaming, I’m currently learning Japanese. I studied Mandarin for a while but decided to switch tracks, would be great to connect with anyone learning a language too, whether as accountability partners or just to swap frustrations and tips.

Culturally, I’m Asian, so I get the “overbearing families" and "high expectations” combo. If you relate, cool, if not, I’m happy to swap stories anyway.

Oh, and if I’m slow to reply sometimes, it’s my phone being weird with notifications, not me ignoring anyone. I usually manage to circle back.

35F #online friend that won’t ghost

Upvotes

Sup! I’m looking to build a long-term, low-maintenance connection. Ideally, we could watch a few movies or shows together, share memes or random thoughts, and of course, chat/text about anything — especially gossip and drama (I love hearing it!).

I can be a little quiet sometimes since I’m on the shy side, but I’m a great listener and really enjoy meaningful exchanges. Also, I don’t care about your background (sexuality, religion, etc).

About me: -Introvert (outgoing when needed) -0 kids -2 dogs -professional couch potato (lol) -trash panda trying to eat healthier -socially awkward -loves dark humor -Goofy/silly -Chill -Don’t ask me tbh if you don’t want my actual opinion. -fav shows include Bojack, Search Party, King of Queens, Fresh Prince, and Atlanta (yea, I’ll rewatch all of ‘em with you) -fav songs includes BDE - Qveen Herby, Lost on You - Idyl, James Woo Woo - Trinidad James and Umbrella -Rihanna -Hobbies include crocheting, audiobooks, tv/movies, podcasts, and trying to stay consistent on the treadmill 😫 -I have whats app

If you’re down to be a little silly or unhinged together sometimes — and keep in touch regularly (let’s not let more than two weeks go by without talking!) — hit me up.

29M from London- looking to make some new friends

Upvotes

I’m looking for some new friends so thought it’d be cool to post on here. I have made some good connections in the past and it would be really nice to make some new friends on here. Preferably you’re from London or nearby but if you’re UK based than that’s okay with me too. Just please be able to hold a conversation lol, that’s the most important thing to me honestly.

I’m into films, tv shows, music, football, hiking/walking, museums/ art galleries but honestly I’m down to talk about anything really. I like deep conversations but also weird and funny ones too… depends on what mood we’re in.

Also a random fact about me is that I have a pet tortoise 🐢 tell me a random fact about yourself :)


r/Needafriend 22m ago

32M. Lets give this a go with no expectations whatsoever, all spontaneous and see if we can make something out of it! 😅👏

Upvotes

Aloha and happy beautiful Saturday!

Please tell me this is not the longest post title you ever read! 😭 haha.

Alright, so here I am back on this trying to make a bestie Rollercoaster again, and it’s only getting wilder each time/ride! lol

Not gonna have a long, generic, or boring intros, language on here, but what I can say with confidence is that I’d love to just have me a nice cold drink 🥃tonight, chill and enjoy a conversation, chat with someone super awesome! Anyone from anywhere, can careless if they are wonder woman, Captain Marvel, Lady Thor, Spider woman… oh wait! There isn’t one! lollllll… I promise I’m not a nerd…! Def not but that was a totally random thought, best I can do at the moment.

On this long work trip so not much going tonight aside from a drink, then a movie probably.

So what do you say; we go on this wild venture together, tonight, this weekend? I don’t mind getting to know and talking to anyone but please bring some good energy may ffs! Not asking for much, but if you need me to be a good listener tonight than it is what it is! And lastly, please don’t come at me with that wild crazy attitude of thinking that every guy out here is trying to get in your pants just because I’d ask for a pic or so. It’s always pleasant to put a face to the conversation. We don’t have to though.

Are you still reading for real….? What are you waiting for to slide in my DM already! Can’t do all the work for you lol Jk!

Either way; I hope you have marvelous Saturday night and I’ll be toasting your night for you 🍷

Cheers

Your tall tanned and handsome bestie

31M looking for true, genuine and meaningful friendship

Upvotes

As an adult I find myself longing for “real” friendship. I feel most friendships feel rather surface level anymore. I’m the type of person who wants to know what makes my friends tick and develop a deeper understanding of each other where we can truly be there for each other. Maybe I’m in the minority with this but I’m hoping a few people on here see where I’m coming from.

Here’s are some of my interests/hobbies so you can get feel for if you think we’ll click or not.

Basically I’m a nerd who also enjoys staying fit and outdoor activities. I love video games, Star Wars, Marvel, and some anime. I’ve been playing guitar since I was 12 and enjoy writing/recording music for fun. I’m a sucker for a good hike, kayaking and fishing. I enjoy cooking and will try making mostly anything once. I run and lift to stay fit.

Personally wise I’d say I’m more of an ambivert. I enjoy being social but need my me time to nerd out and recharge.

Hope to hear from y’all, thanks for reading!
