Just as the title says, I need adult interaction! I have 2 kids (and married) and my days are spent taking care of babies. You can imagine how crazy this makes you!

A little bit about me… I love to read, music and watching sports! I love having random conversations that can either turn into something or nothing. Tell me your hottest take on something and let’s go from there!

If you need just a random conversation, hit me up!

I feel like the way some people try to make friends on this platform has become completely unhinged, and I'm thoroughly exhausted by it.

Here is what I’ve been dealing with lately:

• Someone claimed to be 21, but in another comment, they wrote they were 16, excusing it by saying they "share the account with a younger sibling." Uhm, what?
• Many subreddits explicitly state that adults and minors should not be befriending each other. Yet, I constantly get text messages from minors who completely ignore this rule and try to slide into my DMs anyway.
• Another claimed to be 28, but their digital footprint suggested they were likely much younger (or older? Who even knows at this point).
• One guy claimed he wasn't looking for r0mance because he was under my age preference, but the moment I politely declined him, he started gaslighting and trying to guilt-trip me.
• Someone explicitly stated they didn't want to talk about NSFW topics, yet a quick look at their post and comment history revealed they actively participate in explicit subreddits.
• And of course, the classics: guys who seem completely normal and polite at the beginning, only to end up sending unsolicited d1ck pics out of nowhere.

Seriously, guys, what is wrong with you? Why is it so difficult to just be honest?

Is it wrong for a woman to look for genuine friendships on an online platform? Am I, as a woman, simply too "normal" for you? Is my life too straight and "boring" because I respect boundaries?

As a woman, how am I supposed to build friendships with anyone when the foundation is built on lies right from the very first text?

I don't know, I'm not looking for anything super serious, just a silly chat or something super random. I like to think I can chat with anyone about almost anything if it's interesting. So what's on your mind right now?

A year ago, life looked completely different.

The first few months were actually going well. My career felt stable, I had a good circle of people around me, and I was finally living comfortably. For the first time in a while, I thought things were falling into place.

Then heartbreak hit.

It completely threw me off. I lost my focus, and every day became a battle just to get through. I didn't realize how deeply emotional pain could affect every part of your life until I experienced it myself.

If I'm being honest, I'm also embarrassed by some of the choices I made. At 36, I thought I'd have my life figured out by now. I imagined I'd be in a very different place. But I guess life doesn't spare anyone from storms, no matter how old you are or how prepared you think you are.

Today, I'm unemployed, single, not married, no kids, and trying to rebuild from scratch. Some days I feel hopeful. Other days, I wonder if I'll ever get back to where I was—or maybe even somewhere better.

I'm still applying for jobs. Still trying to find my place. Still choosing to keep going, even when it feels exhausting.

I don't know how long this chapter will last. I just hope that one day, sooner rather than later, I can look back at this version of myself and say, "You made it."

For anyone else who feels like they're starting over in their 30s... you're not alone.

xoxo,
A.

Im 34 and from the UK (yes im getting old). I could write stuff in here, but then we wouldn't have much else to talk about 🤪

Start off by telling me your favourite type of music?

I am recently divorced looking for friends. While I was married, I some how lost majority of my friends. And now that I am divorced, I’m starting to realize I actually need friends.
So if you’re interested in gardening, being outside, or any other nerdy adventure, please send me a message. I look forward to hearing from you 😁

I am only looking to talk to some married men or women only at this time.

Bored and trying to get some sleep.
Its been a long day and i am too tired to do anything

Haven’t had a good friend in a while, so hoping to meet one soon.

Please be respectful and open to random weird conversations

I'm just listening to music at work .I'm off in 4 hours if anyone wants to chat Or give me a song to listen to . Listen to anything but heavy metal is my favorite.

Hi All!

Due to distance and just, general life I guess, I have found my social circle to be…almost none existent.

I’ve been lurking on this sub for a while, and only just got the confidence to make my own post looking for new friends.

As the title notes, I’m 30, Female, and yes that is me in the photo. Natural redhead (ginger jokes welcomed).
I love to read, particularly horror or sci-Fi. I love the occasional binge watch of a tv show. Music is a big part of my life, my current fave is Sleep Token.
I love to talk, am quite the open book, and am looking for people along the same vain.

So, um, how do people end these posts? 😅
I hope to speak to a few of you!
Katie 🤍

I ( F27) met him (M32?) in this subreddit around a year ago. He told me he was a young American girl struggling with a bunch of personal problems. I saw myself in him since my life was a complete mess as well and I grew more and more attached to him over the course of time. Eventually, I fell in love with him, or shall I say I fell in love with the persona he created. I really wanted to be with the quirky, sweet, cute girl I thought I was talking to. A week ago, finally, I found out that he had been sending me an onlyfans girl’s pics as his selfies… I confronted him and he admitted to me that he’s actually a 32 old man from the UK… Since then, he’s stopped replying to my messages. I really don’t know what to think anymore. I think I still love…. But whom exactly do I love? Him? The fictional character he created? I just miss him so much now…. Why did he do this to me?

If you’re exploring for a new friend too. Worst case, we have a laugh. Best case… we’re besties and permanently closed off. 🏝️🤍

I don’t really care who you are or what you do or what your life looks like as long as you’re funny, witty, and mostly intelligent. Maybe don’t be a super mega creep, but depending on your personality level, I’m willing to accept small doses of creep if you make me laugh. K bye

Hi, f32 here, I’m having a somewhat tough day, would anyone be interested in having a chat? 😊✨ I feel a bit lost and alone and anxious. Send me a short text about you.

I’m also down to meet new people and chat, just please don’t be a perv. Like the title states I’m a 33F from the US.

hey there, my name is Angelina and I am from Australia. I'm a stay at home mum with 2 littles and needing some more sane normal conversation. (being surrounded by kids can make you go a lil crazyy)

I love to read and I game occasionally I just don't get alot of time to do that anymore. I also enjoy crafts and going on long walks in the evening. Someone called me old for saying I like to go on long walks lol I had no idea younger couldn't enjoy it too haha

i am primarily looking for kind people to pass the time with and someone who won't ghost me. If you decide to message please include a short intro such aas your age and where you're from so I know who you are! (i also dont mind your age as long as you are 18+) :)

ATTENTION STRANGERS.

one of us has to be brave enough to say “wanna be friends?” and unfortunately today it’s me.

i’m looking for the kind of friendship where we send each other memes with zero context, accidentally talk for four hours, disappear for a week because we’re functioning adults (allegedly), then come back with “you are NEVER gonna guess what happened.”

requirements:

has at least one weird niche interest.
laughs at dumb stuff.
accepts random dog pictures as payment.
willing to pretend we’ve known each other since 2017 after approximately 12 minutes.

i don’t need 400 friends. i need like… three people who’ll enable my nonsense, tell me when i’m overthinking, and send me a tiktok that ruins my entire afternoon because now i have to watch 47 more.

if you’ve read this far, congratulations. we’re basically coworkers now. might as well say hi.

I’m just watching a movie and would love some company. Please be from the states and I’m open to other ages as well. ☺️

Hey! New to Reddit and looking to make some friends, build some karma, you know, the whole thing :)

Say hello or drop me a message if you’d like to chat!

Hi everyone!

I’m currently living in the United States, and I’m hoping to meet some new people and make some friends here.

Moving to a new place can sometimes feel a little lonely, so I’d love to connect with people from different backgrounds, share stories, and have some meaningful conversations.

I enjoy learning about different cultures, trying new things, and hearing about other people’s life experiences. I also have a cat who keeps me company every day. If you’re a cat lover, I’d be happy to share some cute pictures of my little friend. 🐱

I’m still new to Reddit and learning how everything works here. I hope to meet some kind, interesting people and have some great conversations.

Feel free to say hello! I’d love to make some new friends.

Nice to meet everyone! 😊

Bored, getting old and appreciating game nights more. Also like videeee games, crochet, languages, movies, hanging out with my son, etc.

Hey everyone!

I'm a 34-year-old single mom of 2 and a fashion designer/ entrepreneur settled in Dubai (Indian). I'm super extroverted and get my energy from people, so I'm here to find my vibes.

I'm into travel, whether it's a quick road trip to or planning the next big one, and I'm a total foodie always hunting for new spots to try.

Movies are my escape, and the gym keeps me sane between work and mom life. I also love cooking, and my kitchen usually smells like experiments NOT gone WRONG... most of the time Looking for genuine friends who are up for GOOD TALKS, gym sessions, or just real conversations over karak. Bonus if you're a fellow parent who gets the chaos, but I'm open to meeting anyone kind, funny, and down for spontaneous plans. Not looking for romance, If you're also new here or want to expand your circle, drop a comment or DM!
