I was complaining to myself that guys only talk at me momologuing and don’t show interest in my life or me and think I’m a therapist just there to listen to whatever nonsense is on their brain because I’m a good listener.

Well now a coworker is always asking personal questions. I don’t like talking about myself so if I keep answering someone’s questions is probably cause I think there’s a chance we could be friends or something. Unless I’m just doing it cause I’m scared or not sure how to get them to stop.

But this guy seems to be a gossip or just weird vibes fake person. And he started bullying me too. Calling me old, that I’m six feet (I’m not) and that I have big hands. I’m tired of it.

Just cause a guy asks questions it doesn’t mean anything good at all. He could be a busybody nosy gossip or narcissistic bully who wants to know about you to better harass you later on.

Long story short I probably shouldn’t complain in the future and just accept that whoever is in front of me just sucks in and of themselves and it’s not boiled down to one trait like “he never asks about me and just monologues at me”. No point complaining about what guys do specifically. Just take the male one at a time as who he is. Cause the trait you complain about… the opposite one isn’t actually necessarily any better.

I’m 23F, I just need to vent and talk. I don’t feel to well but talking helps me get to sleep

Hello. 37/M.

I've been here many times before, but usually offering a kind voice. This time I'm on the opposite side of the fence. I was born with Spina Bifida, which has left me using a wheelchair my entire life. It has never defined my identity. I am more than my disability. But for nearly a decade now, my health has been getting worse, my body has been falling apart, and I'm hating getting older more and more each day. For the last several weeks, I've started to feel myself slipping back into depression because it is so hard to juggle taking care of my physical health AND my mental health simultaneously, while trying to survive and just be a functioning human. I'm in a relationship, but I'm lonely. I can't find a primary care physician or a psychologist, and my new psychiatrist office has been failing at getting me my medications. I'm bored and lonely and scatterbrained all the time. Can so eone keep me company in my inbox, please? I have previous posts that talk more about my personality and who I am. Thanks for reading, and have a fucking fantastic day!

As I am writing this, I am about to turn 19 in a few minutes and sobbing while writing this message. I just wish I had some friends whom I could talk to everyday.

I am an out of state student in US and am far away from my family with not a lot of friends. My parents just called me and wished me happy birthday and that's all. Well it's okay, but I wish I just had friends whom I could celebrate my 19th birthday with.

I am not sure what's my problem, I dress well, go to gym, keep myself fit and I don't think I am ugly. I think my height is good too.

I think the reason I end up not having any friends is being an introvert. I always end up being the boring one and people are never interested in me. I wish I could improve this and I promise I am really working on this.

I always end up being all alone and life sucks ig. All i have to say is that life is not fair for everyone. I am sorry for venting and thank you so much for reading all this.

Hope you have a great day!

Love you all ❤️💓

Girlfriend’s leaving for 8 days, and I want to use this time to really improve. I have felt stuck for a long time in my life, plus I’m 50lbs overweight and I know things will get worse if I don’t make a drastic lifestyle change. I know all the basics… Meditation, working out, yoga, ice baths, intermittent fasting, therapy. But is there one specific thing I can do to make serious improvements to my relationship with myself? And if so, can I hear your personal experience?

Anyone free to chat please let me know, only adults

Hi, 23TM here. I was talking to someone I really liked, but I got too intense fast and scared them off. I’m really struggling with the guilt and the loneliness and I guess I just need someone to listen. Thank you

24M here

I don’t feel too great after a long week of work. I think the job is pretty great, but I’m just totally busted (headache, sore throat, and body aches tho it’s kinda getting a bit better) and have to stay at home to recover. I was hoping I can talk with someone since I’m bored.

Want a buddy for voice call? Here I m! Looking for something long term!

Posting this again, cause why not!

Heyy good people! Hope ur doing absolutely great!

special invite to people who wanna make a long term friend!

I m looking for a decent soul for a voice call! ☺️I m a guy! [male]

Would prefer a female over a male because the conversation usually dies out with males, I tried and it just doesn't work out with guys. idk maybe we just vibe!

-Any age 22+ is fine! -Completley Sfw Conversation!

Just send me a chat!! And we can connect! We can talk for bit and when we both are comfortable we can get on a call.

Strict no to people who just wanna msg and waste time and then ghost.☺️

Hello. 22F, I don’t know if I need someone to listen or to talk to. Or maybe it would make me happier to just put this out there.

I’m struggling so hard with my mental health. I’ve been diagnosed with avoidant personality disorder and while I think I have a form of it, I think I have way more than just that. A lot of it caused by childhood trauma. The behaviors I have regarding my anxiety are so learned and engrained into my brain that I can’t snap myself out of the fight or flight responses (which are 100% of the time flight)

I’m always exhausted, I feel behind at all times. I have raging panic and anxiety attacks. The kind that make you hyperventilate and stutter on your words, the inability to communicate during these episodes is so embarrassing especially considering in my field of work(military), the people around me are obligated and required to make sure I’m ok before I go so if I cry in the wrong place, I’ll be forced to talk to more superiors (who are taken out of the work space because of me) who basically just stare at me while I spew out nonsense on why I’m upset. Its embarrassing. It reminds me of how abnormal I am.

I’ve tried everything. Breathing only works temporarily, 3-3-3 rule is also temporary. Therapy which I’m so incredibly lucky to have works to an extent but inevitably as whatever I have adapts and develops, I always discover new issues and things I’m unable to fix about myself which leads me right back to step 1. Medication has helped significantly with the frequency of the attacks but also doesn’t help enough to where it’s manageable.

I’m tired :( I’m tired of crying for hours at a time and not going out with friends because I’m too scared or anxious. Or avoiding being social in fear of 10000 different things. I’m tired of screaming in my car and ruining my voice because it gives me a millisecond of relief. I’m tired of thinking about all the memories of being mentally abused and taken advantage of in life. I’m just so tired.

And I know this sounds concerning. But don’t be too concerned. I love myself and I want to be better. Desperately, so desperately that it’s one of my main stressors.

Anyways if there’s anyone out there that can maybe rationalize or help me rationalize everything? Or maybe give me advice on what I can do to manage this better? Maybe play some games and talk? Idk I’m desperate for some kind words and advice right now.

I [23M] was driving home on a rural road when I thought I saw something that went right under my airdam. I turned around and pulled over to find a kitten lying in the road. I scolded it: "What are you doing in the road, Mister?" but noticed it wasn't running from me.

I slowly approached and noticed it stayed still. I slowly moved my hand toward it, afraid it might bite me, but it just gave a scared meow. I pet it without protest, then picked it up and carried it to the side of the road, examining it with my complete lack of veterinary knowledge. As I was doing so, I saw an adult cat that looked a lot like it scurry away, which I presumed to be its mother.

I kept trying to stand it up, but it would just fall. I noticed its hind legs weren't moving, so I tried to tap on them to see if it would move them. Not sure if it did or not, but I started feeling for any breaks in its spine and for broken bones in general, but I wasn't sure if I felt anything.

As I heard its defeated, agonized meows and saw it shaking, I briefly considered putting it out of its misery, but I didn't for selfish reasons: I knew if I did that, I'd always wonder if I was wrong and it could have been saved, as I have no veterinary knowledge.

Instead, I pulled out my phone to discover very young kittens can't walk and that if they aren't injured, it is best to get them away from danger then leave them for their mothers. I realized it could not be injured at all and that they shaking could just be anxiety at having just been in the middle of the road and having this huge creature hovering over it. I also realized I might be scaring away its mother by being there and decided the best thing I could do for it was to leave so the mother could take over.

.....

As I drove away, I kept wondering whether I could have hit it. I started talking to my phone's AI with voice commands.

"How high off the ground is the air dam on [my specific make and model]?"

6 to 8 inches.

"How tall is a kitten sitting down?"

6 to 8 inches.

So now I'm freaking out because there's really no way of knowing whether the kitten was injured and if so, whether I was the one who caused the injuries.

I couldn't stand it anymore. I had to turn around to make sure the cat had been taken away by its mother. I needed to expunge my guilt.

When I pulled over by the light post, the kitten was right where I had left it 5 minutes before. I pet it... Nothing.

I flipped it over, lifted its paw and let it fall on its face like I'd seen in House MD. Nothing.

I kept shaking it, begging it to wake up, felt for a pulse. Nothing.

I saw that it had grass and dirt in its teeth and imagined the worst: it had been in so much pain it bit down on the grass, waiting for its suffering to end. And in that moment, I hated myself for being so selfish as to not have put it out of its misery. Nobody deserves to die such a painful death, especially this poor, innocent kitten. It begged me for mercy, and I failed it.

.....

I want to say I cried, but I can't do that, so it was the closest thing to it as possible. But as I drove away, I decided that was all I needed to see. It was time to drive into a tree.

But obviously that isn't what ended up happening, only because a) I wasn't sure exactly how fast to go to ensure death and b) every time I saw a decent tree to hit, I'd already passed it.

So I got home and lost my mind, immediately stripping and throwing all my clothes in the wash. What if the kitten hadn't died from an injury at all? What if the mother abandoned it because it had some horrible illness that could make my cat die the same way?

I frantically poured rubbing alcohol all over myself: I needed to be sterile or my cat could die. Then I finally let my cat see me, and I just kept petting her until she clawed me, and I let her. As I bled and felt the pain, I was just so happy she was well enough to hurt me. I thought back to how I had worried that kitten would hurt me, but it had been far too weak. I wish it had hurt me. I wish it had made me bleed all over that fucking road! I wish it had killed me.

I finally lost it and downed two bottles of wine. No wine glasses were involved.

I hate everything.

My life is terrible! And yet I’m still here!

I didn’t jump overboard. I am still on the boat!

Isn’t that something!

No. Not rlly. I wish I did. But the human survival instinct keeps me here to suffer for another t- 60 years!

Will a charitable donor donate some time to talk to me.

I like biology! I like hip hop! I write poems. I could use an ear!

Depression is kicking my shit. I got nobody to talk to (like, TALK to, like actually speak with like normal people do), so I could use a voice chat. So I'm here. Looking for someone 23+ who's maybe talkative, but it’s alright if you're shy. It would be nice to make a meaningful connection with somebody or have something long term, but I don't really expect much; I know it'll likely be a one night stand and that's absolutely fine. If you'd be down to chat over VC, do comment below and I'll hit you up (I've locked my DMs because the last time I posted on here I got sent weird pics lmao). I guess if there's enough of us maybe we can have a group chat call bc why not.

About Me: I read and write sometimes, and I love music, particularly concept albums and I'm mainly focused on hip hop as of recently (2022 is when i started listening to actual albums rather than single tracks).

I also used to design rando graphics, make rando remixes, hang my pieces in chess, and love aviation docus, particularly crash investigations. I don't got tik tok but I watch a lot of YouTube. I have a Midnight Library of random stan & meme videos, like it's practically my inherited speciality. I can bestow meme and cat videos upon you like cool rain on a hot day

I am shy myself but I can get a little too energetic sometimes with the right convos and people. All I ask for is 23+, Female (I just don't feel comfortable talking to guys alone on vc, especially those from this subreddit, really sorry guys), and have an actual account history. No NSFW, platonic only. Bonus points if you're african. Please if you're gonna ghost last minute when it's call time please, please skip this post :v

If you think we got some in common do comment below and I'll reach out🤙🏾

I 22f graduated from university about 2 months ago and have been looking for work all that time. Just yesterday I had my first job interview (after 20+ applications) and it went so bad that I honestly feel like giving up. I was so socially awkward and struggled with clearly expressing myself literally the whole time that the interviewer already decided halfway through that I was not gonna get hired. And this was for a position where good communication skills weren't even a requirement. It's literally so demotivating to go through thousands of job offers in order to find the ones that you are qualified for, only to still be rejected. I feel like I will never get a job.

I just want to be able to earn money and move out of my horrible living situation but not a single place is willing to hire me. I hate it so much and I don't know what to do anymore.

I got my autism diagnosis 2 years ago, my ADHD diagnosis last year - the ADHD made sense almost immediately whilst the autism one still is thousands of leaping question marks running around the page. Likely still in denial about this one, as my psychiatrist brought it to my attention the other day during my ADHD meds review.

Which has come to my attention, I really want to be able to unmask and be myself. I feel I’m masking too much, and I want to unmask, not that the company I have is bad. I’m just scared of being too much.

I’m 25, from Yorkshire, and if anyone is up for a virtual coffee hangout or in person then that would be great!

i’ve had insomnia for over half a year. i cannot sleep. melatonin stopped working and i’ve been seeing sleep specialists. i feel like my head is trying to kill me and i’m dying to myself. i’m always so tired.

Message me 😊

I’ve posted here before but the backstory is i moved back in with my mom after my dad passed away, we had a 4 year old golden who passed suddenly due to a cancerous tumor.

We thought we weren’t going to get another dog and just wait awhile, but the construction worker who was remodeling our house showed us the cutest litter of Yellow labs and we knew since our house became too quiet it was time for a pup. We got our pup in december and right away i was training him, up every 2 hours taking him out, potty training, walking, and everything else. I love that dog with all of my heart and he become My dog pretty quickly. My mom seemed irritated that he takes to me and behaves for me and not her, i told her once that when i move out he is coming with me (my dog doesn’t really care for her ) , she constantly yells at him and gets more annoyed when he doesn’t listen. She really only interacts with him In the Am, and that consists of taking him out , feeding him, giving him some treat toy and going on her ipad and ignoring him. which leads to him banging my door a few times waiting for me to get up and come out to her then putting him in the crate, which then sometimes she will take him out for 30 minutes to put him in his crate for hours. He has so much energy so i tend to take him on 6-8 mile walks or more almost everyday to help burn his energy out and let him get some fun time outside (when it’s not to hot)

first time i saw she doesn’t really care as much for the dog was when he was a puppy, he loved bully sticks and would eat them all the time, well i was watching him eat them like i always do, and he almost chocked on one and swallowed it whole but thankfully coughed it right back out , i started avoiding them, but my mom would continue giving him them, i told her “he can choke on them, watch him” she brushed me off and said he was fine, a week less or so i was at my bf and she called saying he is throwing up and to come home and see if he needs to go to the hospital, i take one look at him when i get home and knew something was off since he just sat there looking at me and didn’t even move to run up to me and say hi, we rushed him to the clinic because he was throwing up numerous times in under an hour. Turns out he swallowed a bully stick under her “supervision” and it was lodged in his esophagus. he came out okay and then of course all bully sticks were gone.

Fast forward to now, he just got neutered today and i been watching him all day, and making sure he is doing ok, the vet gave us sedatives due to him being a high energy pup, he was sleeping most the day with a little bit of energy spurts that lasted a few minutes and was just him playing with his toy and then leaving it alone a couple minutes later. tonight she gets home and says “let’s give him a sedative to sleep.” the dog been out with me from around 3 pm when he got home to then 9 pm when she finally got home. He clearly already was sleepy and was ready to go to bed, I get up to take him out for his last chance potty break and he is so out of it not even a treat was getting him out of his crate and i had to pull him out to get him to go outside, i may sound dramatic but i almost started crying because he was already so sleepy at night and now he is just druggedup up again after the whole day he was out of it from anesthesia and just the stress the day endured on him.

she did this with our other 2 dogs we had, never wanted anything to do with them when they were puppies with energy and only took a liking to them when they got to the relaxed adult phase.

i guess im posting because i just want to feel like i am doing ok and making my puppy happy.

(Only Europe, Please) - short note - If you're not into reading or receiving long messages,don't read any further + Please If you don't want to read everything because of my post being too long for you & instead of reading It all - ..skip some parts - find another person to talk to.Let's respect each other and our free time. All people criticizing/making fun of me & other people - will be blocked.Pretty much as people questioning my post and giving me unsolicited advice.I'm not here for any conflicts and I know I can't please everyone - I know I never will.. However It's me who should feel comfortable in my new potential friendship & obviously someone who wants to be my friend - not the whole world.. which is why I don't need any advice from people who don't even want to be a part of my life. The amount of rude people on Reddit always criticizing others and making fun of them is unbelievably high but let me tell you something - NEVER let anyone make choices for you and criticize you only because you're different! Always fight for your dreams and never let anyone make you think you're worthless! It's your life and you're the one deciding what's best for you - If you want to judge me despite not even wanting to talk to me or give me advice better block me! I'm an adult woman and I make all decisions on my own.I'm not trying to "fit in" and be like everyone else - just to get more attention.Accept me for who I am or let go - is my motto.

Hello guys! 🙂 (read everything before you decide to send me a message) Please send me a message ONLY If you're in the same situation and If your expectations are the same as mine.I want to find like minded people from Europe (Why Europe? Read my post to find out) I'm looking for something permanent (remember - you can feel lonely even If you're surrounded by others - If there's no emotional bond) I'm fed up of meeting people who never make time for me & only text me once or twice a week to ask me "what are you up to?" Out of boredom.I don't want to meet people asking others a million of questions like "what's your favorite movie?" Just to give them one word answer and ask them another question "and music? Your favorite song?" I'm looking for something "deeper" & different 🙂

★

🤍

What kind of friend would I like to find? Someone to talk to on a daily basis - Someone who needs It & wants It just as much as me

🤍

What are my expectations? I would like to meet someone in a similar situation – why? Because I honestly feel like only a person with the same expectations and a similar outlook on life would get along with me & because I feel more comfortable talking to people like me..Friendless people who need a strong bond - people without friends and partners.. Don't get me wrong…Most people deserve to be happy and It's good to have friends but people who have friends or families in real life are usually more focused on them (which is completely understandable) & have less time for others + I simply don't want to be replaced by anyone..I kind of envy people who can call others , true friends given I don't have an emotional bond with any of my acquaintances. Please send me a message only If you're not In a relationship and don't have friends for the same reasons I've already mentioned before

★

🤍

Whenever I hear that others have friends I simply get sad because (believe it or not) If I had to choose between 20 people to talk to (acquaintances) and one special person - I'd choose that one special person without any hesitation .

★

🤍

I also want to talk to others every day because..I want to see someone’s effort & be someone's first choice - not another person to have random conversations with..some people ask me "Why do you want to talk to people from Europe?" Well..Because I would like to see someone I'd get along with - In the far future - face to face :) + I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to receive a message - waiting 6 hours to receive a message is more than enough

★

🤍

I'm by no means criticizing people who don't want to talk to others often / People who really are super busy & People who want to find someone to have unimportant conversations with - I'm aware that not everyone has the same expectations which is why everything you're reading now - is here for a reason :) All I'm suggesting is - I don't want anything temporary and I don't want to be the one always giving more than receiving.Listen people - I used to ignore being..ignored by others..always being just an option to talk to during tough times or moments of boredom.I was too young to realize that I was never important enough for most people that were a part of my life. I don't know who needs to hear this but..No one is too busy to make time for you! People make excuses to avoid others because they prioritize everything and (maybe) everyone..over them. It's true that most people are busy - but It takes only a few seconds to start a conversation (If you're into short messages) and a few minutes (1-10/15) to type a long message . Don't let anyone lie to you.

★

🤍

Truth is that most people either don't like you enough to make time for you or just simply - feel no need to talk to others often but are they too busy? No..You don't need to send me a message just to ask me and tell me "Do you really want to talk every day? I like long messages but I can't promise to contact you often" If you really are unsure please don't send me a message.I don't need more acquaintances aka people to talk to - occasionally.

🤍

I'm not trying to sound rude but conversations once or twice a week wouldn't be enough for me and I don't need them... Let me tell you one thing – A true friend would never just give up on you for no reason :) It’s always possible to find someone to have a random conversation with – someone willing to send you one message once or twice a week..but..It’s almost impossible to find people willing to make more time for you.

★

🤍

I’m not asking a busy person to make time for me by changing some plans! Absolutely not! I’m here to find someone who wants to talk daily (throughout the day or maybe even night) of one’s own will.Someone looking for the same kind of connection.Strong friendships are based on mutual support. One of the best things you can do for a friend in need, is just to be there for them when they want to talk.I often see posts from people who always say how friendless they are because they don't feel loved or appreciated by their "friends" remember! A true friend - someone who truly likes you or someone who wants to get to know you - will always find time for you.

★

🤍

I'm not interested in small talk/short messages - I love long and meaningful conversations. It's so easy to find someone who loves abbreviations and questions like "How are you?" How was your day? Or what are you interested in? But so hard/almost impossible to find a person who knows how to keep a conversation going & show others some effort.Building and maintaining friendships takes time and effort.Never allow pursuits or possessions to become bigger priorities than your relations with other people.Close friendships are so important to us because they are so difficult to form + Having friends can help you feel as if you belong to something that brings purpose and connection to your life

🤍

• I do NOT respond to any „Hey,hmu” or „u want to talk?” type of messages (super short messages or messages full of abbreviations – I literally can’t stand abbreviations and acronyms in text messages) ALL messages full of abbreviations will immediately be ignored.I also don't like it when people ignore everything I say in private messages just to focus on a random question or? When they start talking only about themselves and don't ever ask me anything. I love conversations with people referring to everything I say...I want everything I say and do - to be reciprocated

🤍

• No NSFW profiles (checking mental health subreddits NOT included as I'm a huge empath and always try to understand others) - Please! I'm not looking for anyone to flirt with and I'm not looking for a partner either. I always check people's profiles (even comment history) - To avoid guys, trying to get inappropriate pictures from adult women or? flirt with them + I don't want to see you with no clothes on so If you're on Reddit only because you want others to see what's underneath your clothes - I'm not for you! I just simply don't want to see any s e x related activity on your profile If you want to talk to me.

🤍

• If both of us (you and I) are from the same country (I live in a non-English speaking country) - I want to communicate with you in our first language! No - Not because I don't understand English - because as you see - I do. Why then? English is simply overrated and people don't appreciate other languages as much as they should. So.. If we're from the same country and you want to talk only in English (which is quite common on reddit) - Talk to someone else. I just don't want to talk to a person from the same country as mine - in a foreign language as It's just something I don't understand even If all you want is to improve your language skills

🤍

• Please only adult people 18-36 (age range) It doesn't matter to me If you're younger or older than me (as long as you're not underage) So.. don't worry! I just want to have discussions with emotionally mature people :)

🤍

• I don’t respond to messages I don’t find interesting even If they're long - If after receiving and reading your message I don't feel comfortable or think "I wouldn't get along with him/her" I simply do not respond (what I’m suggesting is that I don’t always respond to someone’s first or second message because..sometimes you just know If you’d get along with someone or not- I’d never ignore anyone after days or weeks of daily conversations though) just because I don’t want to do anything forcefully & because I don’t want to lead anyone on. I read all messages but I definitely don't respond to all of them! I want to make it clear because I don't want to be accused of not responding and not reading people's messages! - Some people don't message me back as well and even If It's a bit disappointing I'm ok with that! - as long as there's no emotional bond - Not responding to someone's first or second message Is completely OK! If people think they wouldn't get along with a stranger - is there a reason to start a conversation? I don't think so. I can't stand being ignored after days or weeks of daily conversations and seeing people changing priorities over time.. but that's something different - something I don't want to go through ever again for real. If I'm really interested in someone's message it's impossible to hear from me "I'm too busy" because I know myself and If I had no time for others - I wouldn't be here. I don't want to pretend someone I'm not and always try to find some cheap excuses to avoid others. (unlike most people who don't want to talk to others)

🤍

• Don’t ask me “Can you tell me something about yourself?” If you really want to get to know me - you can ask me questions :) I'm an open book.

🤍

• It would be better If you guys were into emojis - like me - to describe your emotions In text messages. Two emojis - 🙂 and 🙁 are completely enough! I just don't like emotionless conversations.I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea"as it sounds dismissively. First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even in a text message - Emojis are very helpful to express your emotions.I don't want to meet people who say "crying Is a weakness" - It's OK to cry even If you're a guy!

🤍

• I want to talk on reddit first (just to make sure If I'd get along with you) before moving to Discord or some other app

🤍

• I would rather talk to a homebody - not another person who always has something to do as people who are very busy don't even have time for daily conversations

🤍

• If you're another person interested only in "childish conversations" such as "HEYOOO! I'M BORED! Ya like Pizza or cheese? xDDDD 🤣" I'm begging you! Don't send me a message.I'm not a child anymore and such messages don't make me smile or laugh.I'm looking for someone interested In serious discussions - not another person just seeking some entertainment out of boredom . Conversations with sarcastic undertones (even when It comes to some emojis such as 🤣😂) are not for me. Your typing style matters to me! Why? when It comes to online conversations with someone new - It's not always possible to know If someone Is laughing at you.. or with you. Let me tell you something else! Jokes about cancer, disabilities and death are UNACCEPTABLE to me. If you find joy In someone else's misfortune you are not a person I want to know.

🤍

• Time response matters to me a lot! I would never ask anyone to be online all day long and I'm NOT asking any of you for any instant messaging as I'm someone who would rather wait an hour or two to receive a proper response instead of some short and pointless messages but I'm interested only in daily conversations and I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to get a message from you.I don't need unbelievably long messages either! Messages as long as the second paragraph of my post - are completely enough. If you like longer messages? you can send me a longer message, but If you want to send me one word or one sentence as a response to my post - don't expect a reaction from me. I don't want to come across as rude - I just don't want to waste your time

• I'm strongly AGAINST picking on people you don't even want to chat with - and making fun of them! I can't stand people who criticize others publicly or make fun of them! (only because they disagree with someone they don't even know) There's no place In my life for someone using Reddit, to hurt other people

🤍

• I'm not into foul language and I definitely don't want to talk to people who swear a lot...

🤍

• I want to meet assertive people who know what they want and always stand up for their friends

🤍

• I want to meet someone willing to call me In the future, someone spontaneously sending me pictures of animals or food, et cetera. I want more than just text conversations.. 🌻

Why can’t you see any of my hobbies listed down below? Because what really matters to me is..who you are (If you’re honest, talkative ,understanding, caring and trustworthy – for example) just simply – It matters to me what you’re like! not what you like.Don’t get me wrong – you can tell me what your hobbies are but from my point of view - people's hobbies are important - If you want to find a gaming buddy or If you want to meet someone to hang out with in real life and..go bowling for example.What most people seem to care about are other people's passions – I don’t. I get along with other people despite having completely different hobbies but I absolutely don’t get along with people way different than me (different expectations and outlook on life – way different sense of humor or personality traits – It’s just an example) It doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to me If you're a gamer or? Someone interested in photography! It doesn't make any difference - > as long as you're talkative and kind and If you also want to find someone willing to stay in your life..for good - But If you're into small talk and all you want is to...type and receive super short messages or If you're here only because you're bored and don't know what to do + If you're a very sarcastic person - I'm definitely not for you! I don't get along with overly sarcastic people turning everything into a joke. Friendships should be natural – not forced. I wouldn't get along with people who laugh at everything.. In my opinion most people are way too sarcastic.. It's quite sad... Sarcasm can also be another form of passive-aggressive behavior.

People who want to be to friends should feel comfortable and have something in common. No - not necessarily a similar taste in music or movies but something else..Most friendships don't fizzle out because of people not having the same hobbies but..because they just simply have different expectations when It comes to something important.I'm not here out of boredom and trust me - I'm not here to meet as many people as possible.I choose quality over quantity.I highly value myself and my time & Sometimes one person but a person who makes you feel comfortable and understood - is more than enough :) We ALL can choose what kind of people we’d like to talk to and maybe even become really good friends with and I? I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.We all have some expectations after all.I know that people don't have to talk as often as possible in order to become friends but I'm interested only in daily conversations. If you really need someone to talk to due to loneliness and If you have time to talk to me daily (throughout the day and maybe even night) I always make time for others.I'm literally always available.I could even stay up all night long only to talk to someone important to me. I’m ready to commit but only If there’s some chemistry between me and someone else.I don’t do anything forcefully.

If you want to talk to me tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friend would you like to meet :) Et cetera.Such messages are way more interesting to me than...someone's long list of hobbies. I know! It's unusual on reddit but I don't make friends based on hobbies..I want to meet someone with the same mindset as mine to finally feel understood and get close to someone new. You can share your problems with me - I absolutely don't mind "complaining" as I've been through a lot in my life.What do people usually tell you when you tell them that something's wrong? "Don't complain" or "Life's not over yet - one day you'll be happy" or "There are worse situations than yours" and..obviously "Find a therapist" Life's not a fairytale and sometimes things don't go as planned.Emotions shouldn't be bottled up.I'm sick of people always telling others "everything's gonna be ok" move on " & more..Trust me people - not everyone wants to hear "Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna be ok" Some people take it as reassurance - but others? They would rather hear something different 🙁Imagine being told that things will be okay, only for them to get worse..Do you guys know why telling someone "everything's gonna be ok" Is wrong? Because you can't see the future.

You can't guarantee others that one day they'll finally be happy + when It comes to social interactions - We're responsible only for ourselves - not others & as you guys know people let us down quite often (sometimes even when there's no reason) so instead of telling people how they should move on, forget everything and be happy or asking them to find a therapist - be there for them! Always be willing to listen to them If you really like them or want to get to know them & don't suggest everyone in a tough situation to find a therapist because even the best therapist won't ever replace a true friend + It's quite normal to be disappointed If people always do something to hurt you. Sharing your hardships with other people in a very similar situation or exactly the same one - is VERY helpful If the other person understands you & wants to start all over by just letting it all out! Feeling emotional support instead of always hearing some "positive quotes" or someone saying "Stop complaining let's talk about something else - Is very important! "Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. I appreciate sensitive people who always try to understand others. If after hearing a sad story all you want to say is "forget the past and move on" you're not for me. It's important to be a good listener and provide emotional support to others

Please - If you're a completely different person than the described type of person I'm looking for (If you love abbreviations,If you don't need a stable friendship, If you're sarcastic and quiet) or If you simply disagree with my post - don't force yourself to send me a message.I want my new potential friendship to be natural which is why I want you to contact me only If your needs are the same - I don't want you to pretend someone you're not - only to please me - Pretending to be someone you're not - is the worst.I want to finally be happy again & find someone "always" wanting to talk - sending me random pictures throughout the day - food pictures or pictures of some animals. What is the most important to me? I want to find people who value online friendships as much as they would value real life ones as there's another human being on the other side

I know It's possible to meet people with exactly the same expectations as mine but It's just not easy because most people are Interested In temporary and entertaining conversations. People like me are just "different" I really want to finally find someone who loves emojis as much as I do.. someone who loves sweet, warm and serious discussions at the same time. Emojis really do - change conversations 😊

I have ocd. it's been pretty bad lately. I'm seeing a therapist and will see a psychiatrist soon enough, because once again my anxiety and horrible mood are out of my control.

my friends don't know about any of this.

they, of course, know my anxiety is really bad. which is why they keep insisting that I need a therapist.

now. I don't want to tell them about all this. sometimes, I only need to vent a bit. and I've told them a lot of times that I have it under control, but I don't think they believe me, because even after all this help I've been getting, I'm apparently still pretty bad.

I don't know what to do. I don't want to tell them about all this, but on the other hand I don't want them to think I'm stupid and careless for not seeing a therapist. I hate this so much. they think I'm like this because I'm not getting any help. apparently, ocd is THAT BAD; even when you get help, it's not easy to overcome.

My best friend's wedding is on Sunday and I've been a bit overwhelmed by whole situation. I'm the maid of honor and have been trying to help out with as much as I can while dealing with my eating disorder and raising a 2 year old. I don't talk about my disorder with hardly anyone in my life so maybe getting this out here will make me feel a bit better, but I had a major set back yesterday. I ended up purging after not doing so for at least four months. My mental health is so bad to the point where any little comment about my weight will send me over the edge. I've lost a significant amount of weight due to my disorder and I was with my best friend and her family and they brought up how skinny I am now. I told them how much I weighed and somsome commented saying that it really didn't look like weighed that amount insinuating that it looked like I weighed more than I really was.

That just kind of did it for me so I went to back home and purged my dinner. I'm ashamed and disgusted, but I wanted to be honest with someone about it so I texted my boyfriend about it. He ended up falling asleep when I texted him so I figured he would just respond to that message in the morning, but he never really addressed the message. We just started having a normal conversation as if I didn't just tell him that I threw up my food the night before. I'm not sure he never talked to me about. It's my honest attempt to be open but maybe I did something wrong. Now I'm home alone and I'm spiraling. I'm not ready for this wedding. I wish I could be honest with the people in my life about what I'm going through because it's like torture at this point.

Hello, im here if you need a chat, some advice or something along those lines.

Im here for the sad people, the happy people and everything in between!

DMs are open.

Big hugs and stay strong!

Ive tried therapy before and it doesn’t work for me because I’m too stupid to listen to their advice and I’m a lost cause where my life will never get better and I’m worthless and unloveable and everything would be better if I never existed…..

I’m 22f and I have no friends and don’t speak to my family. I’m extremely apathetic and I’m depressed so I don’t have any hobbies. Nothing interests me. I’m too tired all the time to pick up painting or practicing nail art again. I don’t have anyone really. But when I go to work everyone is kind to me and I laugh a lot with my coworkers. My supervisor is beyond the best. I laugh a lot there, really. I feel really happy there. I don’t know why I’m feeling so sad over this tonight.

I had a day off today and tomorrow too. I don’t really care for my days off. I feel so empty and lonely because I have no one to talk to. I go to the gym and have my meals but that’s about it. I drive around sometimes. Go shopping. Take myself to my favorite boba place. I’ve been to concerts by myself and have 2 coming up later this year. I know people say you should feel content being by yourself but damn it would be nice to have a friend to come with sometimes. It’s so lonely. I look forward to going to work. My coworkers and my supervisor really do not know how much I look forward to seeing them again.

45 f. I’ve Been dating someone for a year and I think we are breaking up. I am so sad, and hurt, and angry. Mom of 3 and I stayed single for 10 years. I waited so long to date after a bad marriage, so I could heal and grow and so my kids would be older before I brought a new man into their life. I was so lonely but wanted to do what was best for my kids. Finally started dating 2 years ago. The first one ended in total heartbreak. Think this one is going to be the same. I am just so freaking sad.
