Make A Friend megathread

[gothbird]

Hey everyone, I'm Gothbird. I'm almost 30, based in New Zealand, and lately I've been posting more than lurking so I thought I'd finally drop something here in the friend thread while I'm still around.

I've got degrees in creative writing and art, though most of my time these days is spent online. I love reading, especially anything scifi, gothic, or strange fantasy. I code a little, game a lot, and there's almost always music playing in the background—helps drown out the world a bit.

I live with agoraphobia, fibromyalgia, BPD, MDD, and I'm very autistic. I have a habit of writing long replies—not because I'm trying to lecture, but because I like to be thorough and think things through properly. So, I'd like to think I'm a good listener.

I'm planning to leave sometime in the next few months, so I'm just trying to spend the time I have left doing things that feel real.
If you want someone to talk to, whether it's to vent or just exist next to for a bit, I'd be glad to meet you.

Hey, I tried to message you but it wouldn't give me the option. Not sure if it is your settings or what.

Hey I'm an artist and a musician, currently working on a webcomic. I've been on Sanctioned since 2023. And I'm honestly pretty odd I guess,
I have a girlfriend and we also date other women together. I have been polyamorous my full adult life, and I mention this respectfully BECAUSE I'm very good at helping people with self esteem issues such as self proclaimed incels.
I believe anyone is capable of finding love and friendship, but admittedly I struggle with making friends because I am hyper focused due to my autism. I also have BPD which I hear is pretty rare in males. I also have C-PTSD.

I'm just looking for someone to help build up.
I have a caregiving personality and I want to see everyone succeed in life regardless if they choose to CTB or not. I think everyone should achieve as close to their ideal self as possible before making any final choice but I respect anyone's individual view on the subject.

I'm honestly waiting for court regarding my children before I decide what to do with my life. They moved it back a couple of times and this time they moved it forward so I should be making plans either way in about a week.

I keep seeing you around. Hiii. I'm new and have been exploring all over. I was going to pm you before but your messages seem off. If you do want to talk - when you click my name/profile you should see an option to send a message.

(An aside: I wonder if it's too unbearably sad to develop even a fleeting friendship with anyone when you know it's for such a finite time? And yet here I also am in my life, not warning anyone I know that I may decide to leave. Makes me feel a little guilty to them. It's a complicated emotion.)

Either way, I wanted to say that you seem absolutely lovely and have been so welcoming and generous with your answers to people. You definitely seem like a creative writer. Being a coder is so impressive to me.

Whether we ever interact again or not, please know that someone has taken notice that you are lovely. You are clever and talented. And I hope you can carry that with you.

Hey, my DMs are off right now—I broke a rule and honestly, I fully deserve it. Once they're back up, I'll message you both. Really looking forward to connecting.
