28, spooky time is here, so bring to me your movies, games and memes!

I plan on streaming dbd later, come hang out!

True crimes, horror games, horror movies, random events, memes, favourite snacks, oranges. Anything you feel you discuss and enjoy, bring it. I live for chaos.

My favourite games are mainly rpgs, and dead by daylight but i do branch out and try other games when the mood strikes. Stuff like yakuza, persona, final fantasy all strike the right itches for me.

Movies, Hellraiser is my absolute favourite, i have a massive list of horror movies i love, id love to hear about yours or one that left you scared last.

True crime. Well, its true crime but share which ones interested you the most and why. I love the psychological deep dives.

Sorry if this is all over the place, thats just the vibe today. Chaotic and lively. If you made it this far, drop your asl as well as your favourite colour, nice to meet ya or best of luck on your searches!

I'm looking for friendship: What can i offer in this friendship? Banter, bad advice, stolen goods, questionable ethics and literally whatever rolls out of my brain before I have a chance to filter it, and most importantly pictures of spiders.

Australian, 6'2 on Tuesdays, so pale the moonlight burns me, I love gaming, watching tv shows (just finished lanterns and it was incredible), movie enjoyer, art, and Longboarding, there's too many generic things to say

Everyone is welcome, shoot me a DM and lets see if we vibe. (If you're not 18+ you're not welcome)

advice Why would a friend go from being obsessed with you to barely interested, without a falling out?

4 Upvotes

I’m 32F and met a woman three years ago who I instantly clicked with. She pursued our friendship intensely — we hung out weekly, shared a gym membership, our partners became friends, and she frequently told me how much she adored me. I attended her wedding five months after meeting her and genuinely thought I’d found a lifelong friend.
About a year in, something shifted. She became increasingly fixated on another woman in our group (who she’d previously made comments about potentially being her husband’s type, or vice versa). She never excluded me, but the enthusiasm and curiosity she once had for me seemed to disappear. Even when we’re together now (which is only in a group; rarely 1x1) she rarely asks about my life. We haven’t had a falling-out.
I’ve considered two theories:
Insecurity/comparison: She’s openly described herself as insecure and previously made comments about me being “the prettiest girl in town” and how “everyone loves me.” I took these as genuine compliments, but wonder whether comparison played a role.
Different life stages: We were both engaged when we met. She married and had a baby, while I’ve remained engaged without pursuing those milestones. My fiancé wonders if she initially wanted a friend to experience those stages alongside. However, the other woman is single and childless.
What hurts is that I thought our connection was about who we were, not our circumstances. I still adore her personality, but the friendship feels completely different.
Has anyone experienced this from either side? Would you say anything ?
TL;DR: A friend who intensely pursued our friendship gradually lost interest and redirected her attention toward another woman. Could this be insecurity, diverging life stages, or simply changing friendship chemistry?

looking for friendship I feel So empty and broken looking for some friends

3 Upvotes

​

Hey,so yeah I recently went through a breakup and honestly I’ve been feeling pretty broken since then. Everything feels kinda off and empty lately and I think I really need some good people around me again.

I’m looking for honest,kind and open minded people who don’t discriminate and actually wanna put effort into getting to know each other.

Lately everything just feels way too quiet in the wrong ways. I catch myself staring at walls,scrolling aimlessly,thinking about random shit and wanting to talk to someone but not really knowing who to talk to. I don’t want another friendship where we talk for 2 days and then disappear from each other’s lives. I want someone who actually stays,someone who checks in,someone who wants to share random parts of their day and actually build something over time.

I’m 24 I've bpd just so yk and i currently have way too much time to think. I love yapping,overexplaining,rambling about completely random shit and somehow turning a stupid conversation into something deep. I really value mutual effort too. I don’t expect someone to reply instantly 24/7,but I do want to feel like the other person actually wants to talk to me and isn’t only replying because they’re bored.

I’m into baking,movies,gaming (especially Marvel Rivals),chess,reading,writing,guitar,long walks,voice calls and starting way too many random hobbies/projects that I probably won’t finish.

I’d also really love having someone I can eventually do a bunch of things with. Gaming together,watching movies or shows,voice calls at stupid hours,going on walks if we're ever close enough,sharing music,sending random shit throughout the day or just sitting in a call doing our own thing. That kind of friendship where someone eventually becomes your go-to person would honestly be really nice.

I’m not looking for perfect people or anything. Just genuine ones. Please be kind,don’t discriminate,and actually care about mutual effort and respect. I’ll listen,I’ll care,I’ll remember the little things and I’ll match the energy u give me.

And please don't be dry. If you're always too busy to actually talk or you already know you're only gonna reply once every few days,it's probably not gonna work. I've had enough of feeling like I’m begging people for attention.

If you're interested,please don't just send me "hi". Tell me about yourself. Your age,country,what you like doing,your favourite game/movie/song,your most irrational fear,what you've been obsessed with lately,anything honestly. Give me something to work with and I’ll probably yap back way too much.

I’m just hoping to find some lovely people who actually wanna stay for the long run,and maybe someday I’ll be able to say I met some of my closest friends because of a random Reddit post.

looking for friendship M31 Anyone else just make a post cause feel to much an inconvenience to reach out?

1 Upvotes

Little in my head haha and just don’t wanna bother people. So figured I’d post instead!

I’m a night owl working the night shift. Just here manning the desk and looking for chats and friends who wanna talk. I tend to be invested in people and a bit of a sappy soul. So once I know ya, I’ll be adding you to my 11:11 wishes on good things to come.

I work at hospital running the phones and the front desk. So I chat and draw. I’m all about art. I digital paint, digital sculpt and occasionally 3d print. I have a huge passion for nature and animals. Though with my job hours I feel like a vampire.

I’m happily married… I also have 3 cats, 2frogs and a gecko.

I’m happy to talk to anyone about anything. Often I just ask to be yourself and to be comfortable to do so. I like to try be a safe place for people to be themselves. So if interested and wanna help me not be bored feel free to DM!

Here's a bit about me. Hi! I am looking for someone to spend time with, give all my attention to (!), and someone to play games with. I will preface saying I'm very, very into Project Zomboid, and I'd love someone to play with.

As for my interests: I enjoy sci-fi, researching crime, psychology, and biology/neuropsychology. I have a fixation on the Chernobyl disaster, and radiation as a whole. All types of zombie games OR survival games, too. Lately, I've been very into Life is Strange, too. I have an interest for movies of the apocalyptic and/or thriller kind. Terminator (1&2) is a personal favorite.

EDIT: Send me an actual message, not one introducing yourself like it's a job interview, where there's little i can go off on to start a conversation. throw an icebreaker, something!

looking for friendship 30M - Stuck in a training, anyone wanna chat and pass the time?

2 Upvotes

Good afternoon! Work is dragging on and im stuck in s virtual trianing for the next hour or so so i figured id post and make some new friends to chat with. Ive been in a training all day and its too important to zone out entirely but not important enough to get my full attention. Im looking for SFW only so please keep it clean.

A bit about myself. Im 30 years old and from ohio. I moved back here in 2021 after I got out of the Air Force and ive been trying to make some friends ever since. I work in medical administration with a focus in radiology and nuclear medicine so its not the most social career field.

I love spending time outdoors. You can usually find me gardening, working in my flower beds, trail running, or bird watching. I also like to rock hound and have a pretty insane collection of rocks, crystals, and minerals. I also like boardgames and playing the occasional videogame. I also enjoy going to concerts and sporting events.

If you think we could get along I'd love to hear from you. Shoot me a message and I'll respond as quickly as I can! Im currently at work but its a pretty slow day.

looking for friendship Looking for a future bestie! [39/M]

2 Upvotes

Hey! I am 39, flight attendant, and student pilot. I fly airplanes and travel for a living. Being a flight attendant is cool but my real dream is to be an airline pilot. So I flight train on off days whenever I am not taking a break from this grind. I am busy usually around 7 days a week! I live in Florida but I see all 4 seasons since I travel for a living. I have been to 26 countries so far. I love gaming when I rarely have the time and I also produce electronic music. I am happily married and have been with my wife since 2011!

I am ultimately seeking a best friend. Someone who I get along with, I can share my travel experiences and pictures with, someone I can text a lot, and someone I can be sarcastic with. I’m tired of meeting people that don’t work out, or put any effort into their responses! If you message me explain why you think we would be potential besties! Tell me about yourself, what you like, dislike, favorite foods, hobbies! I am looking forward to hearing some responses! Only message if you really want a potential loyal, and good potential best friend some day!

looking for friendship 29M | I miss having someone I can randomly text all day

2 Upvotes

You know when you come across something completely stupid and your first thought is, I need to send this to someone and then realise you do not really have anyone to send it to?

Yeah. That is pretty much why I am here.

I am looking to make some new friends and hopefully find a few people I genuinely click with. Not just the usual few messages, exchanging interests, and then slowly becoming strangers. I mean an actual friendship where talking to each other eventually just becomes a normal part of the day.

I like those friendships where you can randomly send a meme, complain about something that happened at work, recommend a movie, talk about something completely pointless for an hour, or somehow end up having a surprisingly serious conversation at 1 AM.

A little about me: I am 29 and from India. I work as a technical trainer, so most of my weekdays are taken up by work, but outside of that I am into movies, horror, cricket, casual gaming, reading, working out, and generally going down random internet rabbit holes.

I can talk about movies for way too long, especially horror, but I am also perfectly happy talking about something I know absolutely nothing about. You do not need to have the same interests as me. In fact, I would rather hear about something you are obsessed with that I have never tried.

I am usually a little quiet when I first start talking to someone, but once I get comfortable I can become surprisingly talkative. I like conversations that do not feel like an interview where we can jump between completely unrelated topics without worrying about keeping the conversation interesting every second.

I am not expecting anyone to be available 24/7 either. We all have our own lives. I just want the effort to feel mutual and hopefully build something that lasts longer than a few days of “hey, how are you" conversations.

Maybe we end up talking regularly. Maybe we watch something together, play a game, exchange ridiculous memes, or just become the person with each other randomly messages when something happens.

No pressure to force anything. Let's just talk and see if we actually get along.

When you message me, tell me something about yourself instead of just saying hey.A movie you love, something you are currently obsessed with, your favourite game, a weird opinion you have, something that happened today,literally anything works.

Bonus points if you can carry a conversation and occasionally send me something completely random for no reason. 😄

looking for friendship 35YO English guy - I'm working but have a cold and so feel rather rough. I'd love to distract myself with yappy people from around the world please? Location doesn't matter, part of the charm of internet friends is speaking to people I'd not meet in my daily life, but long term hopefully? :)

3 Upvotes

TL:DR - I like yapping with people and I think I'm pretty lovely, though I am a bit biased. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, so message me and maybe we get on well? :D

Pretty much title! I've gotten a cold and I just feel so thick headed and for my sins I'm on the late shift at work, so I have nearly 6 more hours of trying to keep some semblance of focus and not fall asleep. Its terrible honestly and I'd love to help improve my day and hopefully week and hopefully for a long time if we vibe, by chatting to folks from the internet!

As for myself, I work from home doing a travel insurance job, its mostly mid, but its full WFH and that saves it. My big interest is travel, my wallet hates me so much for it. I've been to Philippines/Singapore/Malaysia over two Asia trips, a lot of Europe as well as Jamaica and Canada. Last year I did Istanbul, Portugal and a Norway cruise, plus a Asia trip. Visited Serbia, Madrid and Poland this year then Budapest in a few weeks. I have a cruise with family next year to Greece/Turkey/Malta and a friends wedding in Greece, I'm always down for trip buddies so if we vibe I'm in! Beyond that, I'm a pretty keen reader, plus the usual smattering of videogames/sports watching/tv shows/gym (but mostly to offset meals out and a problematic keenness for chocolate). I live at the edge of a town and some of the walks are lovely here too. I've dabbled with painting, taken up and dropped the piano a few times (I used to play when I was younger and was decent and sometimes get the urge to play again).

I always prefer a bit of closure, if we've spoke for a while and your situation changes and you won't be chatting anymore, I hate the ghostly exit, if its early on then fair can't vibe with everyone, but if we've spoke for a while I always feel disappearing is a bit of poor form, but its the internet so it happens.

In terms of where to talk, I do prefer to move to apps, I use most of the usual ones but staying here is fine too if necessary. Include your basic details in your message, the usual about me stuff is fine, don't feel the need to match the rambling essay above! :)
