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.

Also looking forward to talking if you are open to do so! We have a shared interest in writing and sci-fi.

[Proteo997]

Hi Everyone, I'm Proteo, NYC, male. Looking to connect and make friends if anyone is interested.

 

[gothbird]

@whitetaildeer @quietbird @Lostandfound82 My chat functions are back so feel free to send me a chat message!

 

[TotalEclipse]

Hi, I'm transmasc, 30, and in the US. My interests are occultism (definitely looking for people who can relate!!), music, hazbin hotel, and Pokémon. I am actively seeking to die ASAP, and I will do so once I recieve opioids or sn, whichever comes first. But I'd still like to have a friend to discuss things openly and honestly with until then. Age doesn't super matter to me, but I'd prefer that you be over the age of 18 for any gender and not be over the age of 50 if you are male. I don't really care about your politics as long as you're able to at least respect trans people enough to form a genuine connection with them.

 

[Versailles]

Hi, I'm a Spanish speaker, a former content creator, my humor is quite aligned with Latin internet humor and I like anime and programming.

 

[KinderEgg]

Hii! I'm Naomi! I am 28, F ( T mtf) based in Scotland. I am mostly looking for someone to chat to, maybe play video games (I'm on PC) with. My interests include: anime, video games, music and music production although I'm VERY new at that. I have pretty bad social anxiety so it might be a tiny bit awkward at first but the more we talk the faster that will go away. If you're interested PM me. =]

 

[sakakap]

hi, i went through a bad breakup four months ago and i've been quite lonely since. i'm a 21yo male from the netherlands and i like to read, exercise (mostly running) and watch movies. i'm starting uni in september, until then i'm working.

i'm diagnosed with depression and i likely have an ed as well.

i like to think i'm open-minded and relatively easy to talk to :p

couldn't find a way to smoothly add this in but i have a dog as well :)

anyone is free to pm, i'm not too fussed about gender, age or location as long as you can be nice lol

(apologies if this came out as a word salad )

 

[erqum]

Hi, im from France,
I'm 22, i play valorant, learning english and im an absolut fan of climbing.
I'm not really talkative, im working on this.

I hope we will heal

 

[aiyuxhan]

Hi! I'm 32F looking for a friend.

I live with chronic illnesses with no cures and in disabled with chronic pain 24/7. I'm mostly homebound but the few times I'm able to leave the house, I love going on walks in nature (parks, gardens, etc.)

My fave distractions are watching anime, shows, and movies, listening to audiobooks, reading, drinking tea, and playing cozy games on the switch or tablet. I sometimes like coloring nature landscapes and do word searches.

Honestly wish I can have a friend that gets what it is like to live with depression, anxiety, ptsd, chronic illnesses, and suicidality due to chronic pain. O: Maybe Looking for mainly a female or lgbtq friend around their late 20's or 30's.

 

[catastrophix]

Hi everyone, I'm Xanni (22NB/F) :] I'm trying my best to step out of my comfort zone and socialize, and I figured people on here would understand me/my situation better. I don't have a lot of people in my life, so I'd like to make a friend(s). I have severe social anxiety and Bipolar 1, along with other things. As of right now, I don't think I will CTB anytime soon, as I want to have a clearer head before I make that decision. Just figured I'd let ya know.

Even though I yap a lot (nervous habit lol), I like to listen to others and I'd be down to talk about anything to anyone regardless of your age and gender, but here are some interests of mine:

I like art (drawing specifically), writing, animals, reading, cartoons, music, and I occasionally play a few Nintendo games :3 We don't have to have similar interests btw. Feel free to send me a DM if you'd like to talk :]

 

[thereisnoneed]

Greetings, I am a 24 Y.O Hikikomori-NEET from Morocco, I enjoy otaku media and instrumental music, I love discussing interesting socio-political stuff, i am open to a wide range of topics and conversations to talk about, please be my friend.

Hi, I'm from Russia, my name is Viola, I'm 24. I'm looking for friends on a forum for suicidal people because it didn't work out for me elsewhere. :) I think about this very often because I feel cut off from the world. I see no point in the future. All my attempts to set my life right have ended in failure. I feel an emptiness, as if something is missing. In other words, I feel like a lonely parrot.
I have a strange hyperfixation on works related to robots and artificial intelligence. I'm a programmer, and my hobby is drawing. I'm looking for friends to simply discuss various works or just for creative people, so that we can create and suffer through nonsense together. <3

hello, i wish to DM you, am not an artist my self, but i can rate, take interest in your art, and such, am a huge art enthusiast even if am not an artist, and of course you can vent to me and talk about anything you want.

sorry to bother you, but i cannot access your profile, i would like to DM you.

 

[threevoices]

hi! im 20FTM from the US. im studying accounting in school right now. in my free time i like coding (html, i have a website), playing video games, i would say talking to friends but i only have 1... sometimes i crochet as well! some other interests i have are pokemon and im currently really into ENA

keep in mind im a little awkward, im autistic also so i have trouble with coming across as "normal" so apologize in advance if im weird or offputting, i dont mean to be but of course no hard feelings if you dont wanna keep talking with me! my typing style is a little atypical also (i use "..." a lot, even when im not mad or upset) so if its hard to read my tone im sorry for that also

im (trying to) learn spanish, though im not very good at it i will try my best to talk in spanish if anyone wants want to!

 

[relapse]

Hey there posting here since I want to meet some like minded people. I'm from Latin America and 18 years old, autistic as well so keep that in mind while interacting with me. I grew up unschooled and severely isolated from other people which contributed to my current social skills being not so good, I may not be the most talkative person at first but I'm pretty great at listening. I consider myself very open minded.

My hobbies include making art, videogames and listening to music, I love experimental music of all genres and hope to one day try to make some myself if I get the motivation to :)

 

[Menilunai]

Hello! 28 M from Asia, looking for someone to hang out with, chat, or maybe play some games together, someone to share our problems, or just forget about our worries and responsibilities for a moment.

I find conversations tough to keep going, maybe I'm just bad at it but I think it's easier if we have similar interests to talk about or an activity we can share together.
My general interests include RPGs, gaming, gym, anime, and reading. But most of my free time is spent in the gym, gaming or just watching YouTube.
I'm pretty much open to play anything but I'm currently hooked on Marvel Rivals even though I suck at it, then I'm looking at finishing Valheim, and maybe playing Schedule 1 at the moment.

I may come off as insensitive sometimes but I'm just ignorant and given the opportunity would love to learn and better myself, I try not to judge and I'm usually open to views I might not necessarily agree with.

 

[sdnlidnc]

Hii I'm Aeselle, 20F from the US
I'm not sure if I have the permissions for PM yet but I just wanted to post beforehand

I'm currently a college student. I enjoy reading webtoons and watching all kinds of cdramas/kdramas, scrolling on tiktok and just chilling in my room, I'm a huge homebody if you can't tell. I'm slow to opening up to people since I've always been extremely introverted so pls have the patience with me ! I promise once you get to know me, I'm rather talkative.

Currently having thoughts to CTB so if that's not something you're comfortable with I totally understand.

Hit me up if you need someone to talk to !! I'm lowkey desperate for friends

Can you understand the oppression in China?

Hi, I'm a 21-year-old woman living in Poland. I have depression, social anxiety, and struggle with loneliness. I'm going to the mental hospital today for the second time, and hopefully, they will accept me. (I'm allowed to have a phone, so I can respond to messages.)

As for my hobbies, I recently got a new laptop and am currently playing The Witcher 3 and The Sims. I also enjoy learning about fashion history, although it's a more niche interest. :D

How is Vistula University in Poland? I'm currently in China and want to escape through studying abroad. I applied for the university's language preparatory course the day before yesterday, but my mental state isn't good, and I feel like I'm racing against time. In any case, I want to learn more about schools in Poland.

Female, early-mid 20s, in North America. Currently in school full time and trying to find a new part time job, after booking a flight and fucking off to a low cost of living area. I'm fluent in English and Chinese, and also very in touch with Chinese culture. I'm also autistic as fuck and I'm aware that I can be blunt, but I interact with other users in good faith unless there is a compelling reason not to. I like downers, rock climbing, and body modifications (but obviously not at the same time). I hate @GuessWhosBack and @Gangrel because they're big dumb, as well as myself because I'm even bigger dumb. As I get busier with school (and likely a part time job too), I won't be as active on here but I'll still be around to cook spicy memes.

What is your view of China? Do you think it oppresses the people of China?I want to understand how foreigners view China.

im sol, 24m, uhhhh i have a pretty bad mood disorder and suicidal ideation and body image issues and i feel empty 99% of the time but i like to read and i like jpop/rock and shoegaze and i like evangelion and chainsawman and fortnite so if u dont mind playing fortnite with me just send me a private message i guess ill try my best to respond or even if u just wanna talk like movies or eva/csm or books (im reading the sound and the fury RN it's pretty good) or trade Japanese music well idk feel free to do whatever ill try my best to not be moody

do you play counter strike2？

 

[sdnlidnc]

H 46, anyone in the centre of France, in the 41?
I like movies, games, 3D printing, robots, web, programing, space etc..
Relaxed, open to anything.

wow.Are you interested in 3D printed guns?

25M from Poland. I am better listener and do not like talking about myself much. I do not enjoy anything anymore but can talk about gardening, sports, computers and everything you like.

[IhatethislifeXD]

Hi ! Early 20s, M from France. I am currently a college student though I am failing my classes. Trying to socialize with people but in the end I always end up alone.

I go to the gym even if its hard these days I like playing strategy and survival games like Hoi4 and Project Zomboid.

It would be cool to stick around a little bit more just to talk and listen to people who can relate what its like to live with depression and 0 motivation to wake up in the morning.

 

[other-ghost]

Hi! 22F from Indonesia, looking to connect with people who share my interests and don't mind heavy conversations. My English isn't perfect (non-native), and i'm autistic, so i might seem awkward at first, sorry.

I really enjoy JPOP (mostly idols, i love idols in general!), RPGs, visual novels, gacha games, and comics (especially GL) And i'm also a digital artist and crafter!

I'm hoping to connect with people who are comfortable discussing topics like CTB and suicide ideation. I don't want to tiptoe around that part of my life, but i'm equally happy to geek out about lighter things too! Whatever feels natural.

 

[Liammm]

I'm unsure if this is a mistake but hello, I am 23m with gender dysphoria from the u.s.

i will be frank. i am very afraid of people and conversations, and i am terribly awkward. i am re-learning i guess how to talk to people? Anyway i like things like... poetry, i guess video games and.... i admittedly dont have too many or atleast cant think of many hobbies but i like to listen to people yap. I don't think i am too interesting anymore, but thats how trauma works lol.

i just think it would be nice to talk to someone without the filter. And to not be terribly lonely i guess too lol. If messaged, please bear with me as I have to be careful about my access to this site.

 

[Belkon]

Hello to everyone who is reading this message. I am 19 years old (I'll be turning 20 in a few months). I am a man. I want to find someone to talk to. I feel lonely and would like to share a bit of what's on my mind with someone.
