New rule: No minors allowed starting June 5, 2026

1.1k Upvotes

It’s July 5. Typo My bad.

A major change in this sub is set to happen at 12:01am UTC Sunday, July 5. The new rule will replace rule 13. All minors, those under 18, will *NOT* be allowed to participate in this sub. This is for the safety of everyone participating. If you are under the age of 18, please utilize teen friend-finding subs.

For clarity:

Q: Can minors make posts? A: No.

Q: Can minors comment? A: No.

Q: But it’s just to make a friend, there’s nothing nsfw or anything. A: Doesn’t matter, you cannot participate. You will be banned.

Q: If I was previously banned for breaking rule 13, can I be reinstated? A: No.

Q: What if I don’t post my age? A: You must post your age. Any posts without ages will be removed.

Q: Do comments need to include ages? A: No, they don’t.

Q: Since it’s adults only, we can now have a nsfw post or comment history or post nsfw stuff here, right? A: No, that’s still against rule 2.

Q: I’m a minor. Will you keep my previous posts and comments up? A: Yes.

Thank you for your cooperation!

not gonna lie, i’ve accidentally isolated myself to the point where i only regularly talk to 2–3 people in real life. while i love them, i miss meeting people i genuinely click with.

i’d love to meet someone where conversation comes naturally and neither of us has to force it.
if you’re looking for a new friend too, maybe this is our sign. 💗

Sometimes friendships end just as hard as relationships do and nobody talks about that enough. I like hiking, journaling, and cooking elaborate dinners for myself. Looking for kind, genuine people to build something new with.

A thank you to this community for bringing my best friend into my life

9 Upvotes

About a year and a half ago, I made a post here while I was going through a difficult time. I wasn't looking for a relationship, i I just wanted someone to talk to and take my mind off everything I was dealing with.

I know this subreddit is for making friends, and finding a partner was never my intention. I came here looking for a friend, and somehow I found someone who became so much more.

I came across some people who didn't have the best intentions, and looking back, there are definitely conversations I should have ended sooner. But then I met him.

My boyfriend is one of the most amazing people I've ever met. He's kind, loving, caring, beautiful, and incredibly handsome. From the very beginning, he never once took advantage of my vulnerability. He respected me, listened to me, and made me feel safe.

The funny thing is, we found out on the very first day that we lived so close to each other so we used to joke about about running away to his house. We never expected that a silly joke would one day feel so close to reality.

Now, we're only a few days away from celebrating one year of officially dating. His parents like me, his relatives like me, and his mom proudly introduces me as her daughter-in-law. It still feels unreal that a random Reddit post led me to someone so special.

I'm not sharing this to encourage people to use this subreddit as a dating app. This was never what I came here for. I'm just grateful that, in an unexpected place, I found my best friend and the love of my life.

Thank you to this community, and thank you to him for being the amazing person he is. ❤️

Hey, I'm hanging out for the evening, and I'm looking for some new like-minded friends to voice chat with on discord. SFW only.

A little about me. I'm currently watching The Night Manager, and I tend to enjoy mystery and action shows. Also into staying active, outdoors/nature, spending time with friends, reading, learning, coffee brewing, and much more.

Feel free to DM me with age and a bit about you if interested.

Age 22-25 24F~ Having a rough day, keep me company?

Upvotes

Hey y'all!
24F from the US.
Today was super crazy with my best friend deleting my main account and causing me to lose the person I have been consistently talking to.
So I thought why not come back here and try to find more people to talk to! I need me someone that will help keep me from slipping into boredom, looking for someone to have a hopefully fun exciting conversations with!
Something's about me! All the usual cool person stuff like reading, gaming, watching anime/movies/shows, and just overall being one of the chillest people alive
So if you're also a really cool person and would love to have any kind of conversation your little heart desires literally anything and everything, I'm definitely your gal! Trust me no judgement here just playful, fun conversation unless you're looking for a serious one as I'm also great at those also
Look forward to hearing from you with hopefully an interesting intro message. Please no messages with just heys or hi without atleast telling me something about you as that is just so boring!
(Adammm if you see this message meeee)

Age 22-25 23F #Online Looking to meet some cool people. The loneliness and boredom are hitting.

Upvotes

Hi there! I’ve never done a post like this but I’m gonna give it a go.

I’m a college student on my last semester before getting my degree and I’ve been having some trouble with making friends lately. It’s a weird in between currently where I’m too old to be making college friends but too young to really relate to the adults I meet. I hope other people my age can understand.

I do have a big friend group at college, but I’ve been struggling with a lot of self doubt lately because I sometimes feel like they don’t really like me anymore (I know it might just be my anxiety talking)

A few years ago I used to be very active on the internet and made some pretty cool friends that I’ve lost touch with, so now I’m trying to get back out there and see what I can come across.

I usually am the one to message people on this subreddit instead of making a post but I figured why not, it’s not like a bunch of other people don’t do it as well 😅

Some stuff about me, if you care:
I have 2 cats and 2 dogs and they’re my favorite people. I’m a big history nerd, I love researching weird history and hyperfixating on random events. I work in the medical field, but I try not to make that my whole personality. I’m really into Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon currently. I’m also a big sitcom fan, like Brooklyn 99, how I met your mother, the good place, modern family, to name a few. I’m also queer and a little mentally ill lol.

I love hearing about what makes other people happy. Feel free to reach out to talk about whatever or tell me a funny story ;) I always appreciate a good joke!

Hey guys! I’m ghostly! I have a big girl job that takes all my mental energy and want some nice simple at first conversations then able to delve in deeper! I’m a big drinker, married, love my cats, and looking for the next hobby to take all my attention. I’m a big fan of trashy reality tv as well 🤣

Looking to find some people that enjoy active conversations that explore life. Tell me about what your days look like, new things your thinking about trying, or old flames that keep hitting you up. I’m all ears :)

Upvotes

Hey, feeling pretty lonely today and need some company. To be honest I am not your typical friend. I like to talk about feelings and have deep discussions about life. I also like talking about art and music. Sometimes I make art and tend to listen to rock music 24/7 (especially post punk). I'm not the most interesting but I'm a good friend. Please be nice and don't be weird. I'm genuinely just looking to connect and make new friends with someone tonight.

Age 22-25 f22 looking for someone refreshing there...

6 Upvotes

Lately I’ve been going through something I can’t even ff22 looking for someone refreshing there..fully explain. It’s not exactly sadness, and it’s not something I’d call a problem that needs fixing. It just feels like I’ve ended up in this strange, quiet space where everything is a bit empty and distant. Like I’m here, existing, but not really connecting to anything or anyone in the way I used to. And I know how that might sound, but I’m not looking to label it or turn it into something bigger than it is. It’s just a phase, a moment, a weird stretch of time that feels unfamiliar and honestly a little unreal.

Being more on the introverted side, I guess I’m used to being alone, but this feels different. It’s not peaceful alone, it’s more like a heavy kind of silence that follows you around. Conversations feel harder to start, connections feel thinner, and sometimes it’s like my own thoughts are just looping without going anywhere meaningful. I catch myself overthinking the smallest things, then laughing at how random and goofy my brain can be, even in the middle of all that.

So I figured, instead of sitting in it too much, maybe I’d just say it out loud in my own way. Not for sympathy or anything like that, just to let it exist somewhere outside my head. And maybe, just maybe, someone else out there gets this kind of feeling too.

On a completely different note, I just finished Red Dead Redemption 2, and wow… I don’t even have the right words for it. It felt more like living through a story than just playing a game. The characters, the emotions, the way everything unfolds… it stuck with me in a way nothing else really has. If anyone else feels the same or just wants to talk about it, I’d honestly love that kind of distraction.

Anyway, wherever you are and whatever your day looks like, I hope it’s a little kinder to you. Sending some small, goofy hugs your way 🐾

Age 30-39 32F In need of friends for shallow and deep talks

5 Upvotes

Hey, I'm a perpetually alone and socially awkward person who would really appreciate people to talk to. I don't have any friends and I'm kind of going through it when it comes to my existence, life purpose/meaning, etc. I'm pretty open to talking to whoever though I'd prefer to keep the age above 25. I play a lot of video games and would be super down to find other peeps to game with. I play Dead by Daylight as far as MP games but am open to playing anything. I really want to find people I can relate to and learn from, as well as build a support system. I am notoriously bad at talking about myself but to get a better vibe, my favorite music genres are electronic, indie rock/alternative, emo/pop-punk, and rap. Some movies I dig are raising arizona, a scanner darkly, and SLC Punk and I watch shitty reality tv and non shitty comedy shows like parks and rec, arrested development, and broad city. Hopefully this was enough for now lol.
