I know everyone has their own lives. Work, family, stress, mental health... I genuinely get it.

But if you're posting on the friend megathread saying you're lonely and that you want friends, please, actually give someone a chance.

Friendship doesn't happen in three messages.

It doesn't grow if every conversation ends with someone disappearing without a word.

I've spent so much time messaging people from the friend megathread who say they're looking for genuine, long-term friends. We talk for a little while, I start thinking, "Maybe this could be the beginning of something," and then they're just... gone.

It's heartbreaking how often hope turns into silence.

I'm not asking anyone to reply every minute of every day. I'm not asking to become best friends overnight. I'm just asking for a little effort. A conversation that lasts longer than a few messages. A chance to get to know each other before deciding I'm not worth keeping around.

If you're genuinely interested in building a real friendship, where we both make an effort, get to know each other, and don't disappear after a handful of messages, I'd really love to hear from you. Feel free to message me.

I'm just tired of feeling like every new conversation is another goodbye waiting to happen.

I know what you mean. I experienced this with IRL friends multiple times. I have to admit i am not very active when it comes to friendships myself but i always reply to people but with timezones and stuff i have to do it can take me some time to reply.
