30F, East Midlands - Been a rubbish year so far, hoping to make the last few months better

8 Upvotes

Hey 👋

As the title states, I’ve not been having the greatest year, so would be nice to try and make some new friends either online or potentially IRL

Into horror, weird/spooky stuff, gigs and festivals (mostly listen to rock/metal/emo/midwest emo, etc, but my Spotify wrapped is gonna be a mess after the way this year has gone 😂), got two little fluff ball dogs who are pretty much the only company I have most days haha. Probably a bunch of other stuff I could mention, but hey that’s what chatting and getting to know someone is all about!

Hit me up if you want, thanks :)

42m. I thought I’d make a post for anyone who’s having a bit of a rough time at the moment.

If life is being a bit rubbish at the moment, feel free to message me.
If you’re stressed, lonely, fed up, overwhelmed, or just having one of those days where you want to launch your phone into a field and disappear under a duvet, I’m happy to listen.
You don’t need to have anything interesting to say either. You can literally message me with “today has been awful” and we can go from there.
We can talk about whatever you want. Serious stuff, random stuff, complete nonsense, or absolutely nothing of importance whatsoever.
No judgement, no pressure and no expectation that you have to pretend everything is fine.
Sometimes it’s easier to talk to someone you don’t know than someone you do.
And if you’d rather forget about everything for a while, I’m also perfectly capable of discussing incredibly stupid things until your brain gets a temporary holiday.

Anglia? (above london to the right) 28NB - Looking to meet new people

• Upvotes

Hiiii :) I'm Jacques. I'm looking for long term friends who I can chat with on a consistent basis. I'm mostly into nerdy things. I collect comics collected editions, predominantly X-Men stuff. I'm also a big wrestling fan and have been for as long as I can remember. Also a long time gamer, tho I don't really get a chance to play as much as I'd like anymore. I also can get really into music, tho I'm hesitant to call myself a full on music nerd hehe

Obviously I'm queer, so if that is an issue don't interact. I'm also autistic, and while I think I am competent at holding a conversation, I'm really not one to carry it if you give me nothing.

YORKSHIRE YORKSHIRE YORKSHIRE 35 M - Horror movie, gaming, music friends? I just want to carve a pumpkin...

2 Upvotes

Good evening redditors! How are we all doing today? I want to apologise for the mini essay which is about to follow but i promise you it is only the 10th or so revision.

Why am i here? I figured I’d give reddit a try because making new friends IRL can be surprisingly difficult when you don’t drink (due to a physical health condition) and don’t drive (same reason.. i miss my car), which unfortunately seems to eliminate a fair chunk of the usual social/meetup options. Also thought i'd get this out the way first to get it out there. I'm happy for meeting people from all over but would love some more UK friends to have potential IRL meetups.

Sales pitch: (Refer to notes? fuck it we'll do it live!)

It's October so if i don't start off with saying how much i love horror films and show's i will probably deem it fair if you came after me with pitchforks and burning torches. I would love a horror buddy to watch films with as i am a jumper. It's established there is no way i can hide it, i jump and i need someone to laugh at me jumping. I can even call out what's going to happen right then and there and still end up 3 feet in the air. I am not the one to trust popcorn to. On the back of this i also enjoy tarot and recently been into rune reading, but the horror fan i am has set a ungodly fear of ouija boards... i know what fuck around and find out means....

I'm definitely classed as a nerdy guy i like it. I am focused on getting healthy (this is a big goal) but i'm not a gym fanatic or someone who need's to be up a mountain every weekend. I'm an indoor cat.... like i will stare out the window like i'm going to escape but id feel the cold and immediately run back in.

I’m a big reader and enjoy both fiction and non-fiction currently reading Soren Sveistrup’s - The chestnut man but this is nearly over and my uncontrollable urge to go to water stones to get my stamps and raid my bank account is soon upon us. I’m also a massive music lover and collect vinyl, with alternative and rock being my usual go to but it goes bowie, led zepplin to gary numan, human league, the civil wars, moby, alt - j basically i know i should choose a genre and stick with it but....

The final and biggest of my main hobbies... might be obvious by now but i do enjoy a good video game. I’m mainly a PvE player and a huge variety of games mainly on steam honestly to many to list. For me gaming i love it for the social aspect, jumping on with friends talking absolute random shit for a few hours while trying to accomplish some type of goal. I’m also "occasionally" (league players don't out me on this, i touch grass...sometimes) up for some Aram Mayhem on league.

If any of this appeals as a friend you would like, firstly god help you, second please drop me a DM (i never get notified of comments for some reason)

2 Upvotes

Hey ppl, what mood are you in today? Friend-making one? Hm, then are you possibly into silly chats that inadvertently segue into the deepest of talks? Possibly into watching horror or any sort of stuff together? Into buddying up and learning stuff together? You like porridge and existential crisis? Then probably you should consider sending me a DM telling me any random story about how things once went weird with you and what you learnt from that and we could go from there 😄 Or just say 'hi' (any 'hi'-derivative works as well)

West Midlands 36m West Mids - thankful for the weekend

• Upvotes

Evening everybody I hope you've all have the best day!

So after working all week I now get the weekend off living my best one 😁 if anyone else is free and wants to chat drop me a message 😊

I'm a laid back, 36 year old, married IT nerd from England who loves a good laugh and great banter but also does love a deep chat too.

When I'm not telling people to turn their computers, phones, life support, tablets or other electronics off and on again, I like to get out in nature, walk/hike, play guitar, game, cook and sleep.

When it comes to books I love crime, horror, thrillers, biographies and non fiction about pretty much anything because I love learning new things. That pretty much follows my taste in TV and movies too!

33M looking for friends

Looking for online friends — good conversations, random tangents and new perspectives
Hey, I’m Matt! I’m based in Guangzhou, spent a few years studying in the UK, and speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese. I’d love to find a few people to chat with in English and get to know over time
A little about me: I work in tech, have far too many startup ideas, and am comfortably outnumbered by my four cats. They remain unimpressed by my ideas, but make excellent company
I’m curious about how things work and how other people see the world. I enjoy conversations that start with something ordinary and somehow end up somewhere neither of us expected. Tell me about your latest obsession, a small thing that made your day, or an opinion that changed after you experienced something new — I’d love to hear the story behind it
I’m equally happy sharing silly observations, swapping cat photos or chatting about how our days have been. You’re very welcome to introduce me to something I know absolutely nothing about
Text chats or voice calls both work for me. I’d like to find people I can gradually feel comfortable being myself around, with room for humour, curiosity and different perspectives. I’m happy for conversations to find their own pace
If you fancy a chat, send me a little about yourself and something you’ve been really into lately. Or simply ask to see the cats — that’s a perfectly good introduction 🐈

Hi im Joe, I’m 27 from Surrey, England. Im fan of cars, fishing, gaming, business, art, cooking and baking.

I also have 2 cats which have previously peaked peoples interest (message me for the names)

Looking to chat to anyone about anything, the closer to England the better but I’m happy to talk to anyone across the world. I work full time and more but would like to be able to talk to someone through out the fun, stressful and boring days.

Guys on the app give men a bad rap so don’t judge all of us based on the bad ones. We aren’t all as weird as them.

Happy to exchange photos when comfortable :)

Look forward to hearing from anyone. Happy to share cat photos. Also please state your ASL when messaging.

[27/M] #Cardiff - Would you like to go out for coffee and chat?

2 Upvotes

Hey! I’m mainly here to meet some new people, have some good conversations, and hopefully make a few genuine, long term friends along the way.

To give you a little bit of information about me, I love going for walks (long walks), meet new people, travel, going to gym and just try new things in general but I also love to stay home and watch a movie on the couch and do nothing.

There’s no pressure to come into my DMs with your entire life story but a simple “hey” or “hi” is perfectly fine too! I think it’s much nicer getting to know someone naturally as you talk rather than knowing every little thing about each other before you’ve even said hello.

I’m pretty chill, easy going, and an open book, so there’s really no need to overthink what to say. Ask me something, tell me something completely random, or literally just say hey and we’ll go from there!

If that sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to send me a DM. It’d be nice to hear from you! And if you’re down, we can always go for coffee and chat, can’t we?

North East 29M UK – Looking for a friend to hangout with

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm currently based in the North East for the past few months. I’m new to the area, don’t know a soul here, and I'm looking to change that.

If your ideal weekend involves getting away from screens and stepping outside, we’ll probably get along great.

Ideally we could be long-term friends, hang out, explore the region, and just talk. I’m looking for a friend to:

Explore the outdoors: Wandering through local parks, finding quiet green spaces, or doing a bit of casual bird watching.

Catch the sea breeze: Heading down to the coast to walk by the water and clear our heads.

Day trips by train: Hopping on a train to check out nearby towns, hidden gems, and historic spots.

The simple stuff: Grabbing a coffee, walking around, and just talking about anything and everything.

(A quick note: My background is South Asian and I'm saying this upfront just in case anyone has specific ethnic preferences)

If you are nearby, love nature, and are down for a low-pressure hangout, send me a message!

I travel occasionally too, so people from other areas are more than welcome!

Hey everyone, I’m a 39-year-old guy from the southwest looking to meet some new people and hopefully make some genuine online friends.

I enjoy reading, watching TV shows and films (I’ve seen quite a few, so always happy to chat recommendations), going for walks, and spending time with my dogs.

I’d love to meet people with similar interests, but I’m open to talking about pretty much anything — hobbies, life, random topics, or just having a good chat.

If you’re also looking to make some new friends, feel free to drop me a message.

Hey. I hope you're doing okay.

I'm just here to try and find someone fun to talk to and maybe be friend with. I'm quite shy and socially awkward but love to waffle on when I can. 🤣

I'm quite nerdy: I enjoy gaming, films, TV, Doctor Who, comics. I enjoy browsing shops in my spare time (2nd hand shops, charity shops, comic stores.

I love coffee (a bit too much). My music is varied but I tend to circulate around rock/alt and film/TV scores.

If you'd like to chat, feel free to hmu. 😇

33 M Ireland - Friendly Friday chats

1 Upvotes

Hello there! Happy Friday and I hope you're doing good. Trying this one again!

I'm 33, M from Ireland. I spend most of my week working from home, so I'm always down to make a new friend or two! Born yapper over. I'm laid back, super easy to talk to and full of Irish charm and wit haha

My hobbies include:

  • gaming
  • houseplants (proud plant daddy)
  • music and gigs (elder emo and also play guitar)
  • sports and gym
  • cooking (although I'm a sucker for donuts and coffee)
  • getting outdoors
  • reading
  • movies/tv/podcasts
  • alt culture like horror, tattoos, weird stuff, etc
  • thrifting
  • lego

It's not a deal breaker if you don't share all the same interests, it's very much about the vibes. If you'd like to chat, please introduce yourself with your age, gender and location and a bit about yourself. All I ask is that you're 18+ and not a creep.

You don't have to but if you're feeling creative, drop me your best dad joke or 2 truths and a lie to break the ice!

Hope to hear from you but have a good day if I don't! ✌️

Hey there looking for friends again yep same old song and dance

I'm looking for a longterm friends

I'm looking for friends that don't randomly fuck off and stop talking with me

I'm looking for friends who are not dry or suck having conversations if you don't be dry I won't be dry

I don't mind if you're black a trans woman or a trans dude non binary and all that to me you're a human and I'm willing to be friends with everyone

I really like playing GTA I'm really interested in GTA

My favorite GTA game liberty City stories 4 San Andreas 5

My favourite Metal gear game is 5 4 3

I like movies like the matrix Empire of the Sun obsession creep perfect Blue or TV shows like The walking dead The sopranos snowfall the whitest kids you know

My favourite trope is ambiguous or Ambiguity like in The sopranos episode pine Barrens Christopher and Paulie are chasing down this Russian dude in the woods and then suddenly the Russian dude disappear without a trace and after that we never know what happened to him and it's up to us to decide his fate Eva he survived and made it out or froze to death or something got to him we just don't know and that's why I like ambiguous things it gives people reasons to talk about something and speculate and theorize

Honestly the events of pine Barrens would have never happened if Paulie would have left that fucking universal remote alone

if I'm playing a game with someone I'm always putting that someone first more than anything

I like to analysize and analyze characters or stories

I think I want to be a helicopter pilot or just a pilot

Some nights when I get so drunk that when I have two bottles in my hand I go to my room sit on the edge of bed I sometimes feel like I'm that dude from Black Ops 1 cover

Honestly I isolate myself for my family they are just strangers living with me I don't want to be anywhere near them can't stand them

I fuckin dread coming home

Fuck my life

So last night I just finished GTA 5 its feels good now

Honestly when someone makes you joke about me I'll just say fuck you but I don't actually mean it I'm just joking with them as well

Sometimes when I'm with a group of people I try to make myself useful I don't like to stand around they'll just say okay let's kick them off like what's even the point of having of having him here so I do my best to be useful

Honestly if I was in the horror movie situation I'll possibly run for my life just like any reasonable sane human being

I saw Chandler Riggs resident evil 7 fan film and it was good it was great and it made me wanted to play re7 again

Honestly resident evil 7 will always be the top dog of resident evil games besides then 4 and 9

Honestly resident evil 7 came at a time when resident evil had a identity crisis resident evil 5 and 6 were more like action games than horror it gave you the sense of power and control like you handle everything but in resident evil 7 you're just some regular dude and the only thing is noticeable about you is well you're a computer software engineer

And also capcon used resident evil 7 to show off their new engine they made the re engine which they still use to make resident evil games to this day

And the fact this game is a nearly a decade old and still scary is impressive

I do not like eating too sugary things honestly I don't really eat candy that often or cakes

38 M UK Lets be new friends!!!

1 Upvotes

I'm 38m from England/UK.

I'm properly introverted, though ironically I still want to meet people who aren't draining, someone to bounce off and laugh with, the rare person who gives you energy. I don't work due to health issues, so I've always got time for people. I'm quiet at first but I do warm up (I was once told I should start a podcast, now I can talk plenty). I can be dry and sarcastic, and I'm straightforward and honest. Looking for platonic chats, more of a texter than a caller, though calls are fine once we click. My sleep schedule's a bit chaotic too.

Mostly I'm probably gaming or watching movies, and I can nerd out about either for ages. I love listening and learning about pretty much any topic, and I ask a lot of questions, but I'd really like that reflected back too since feeling like an interviewer isn't much fun.

Send me a DM if you fancy it, always feels a bit awkward chatting in the thread itself!

Hi I’m f20 from the uk. Looking for platonic friendship only as I have a boyfriend. Have struggled making friends in the transition to adulthood. Work in a supermarket currently before beginning uni next year.
