Would you meet someone from here, if yes where are you from?

[Dr Iron Arc]

I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area in California but I don't think I'd really want to meet anyone from this website, no offense to any of you. I almost had my chance to meet somebody from here once and she only lived twenty minutes from me but this was during peak Covid lockdown measures so it never came to pass and after five days of intensely developing feelings for each other she cut me off before I could even meet up with her. That incident alone is probably why I'd likely never trust anyone on here again to meet with.

 

[Shrike]

Sure, but I'd need to get to know the person a decent amount in an anonymous space like this first. I've had positive experiences before meeting folks from unusual spaces, much better than meeting "normal" people tbh.

I'm in Sweden, myself, though not from here.

 

[sserafim]

Not sure tbh, depends on the person. Probably not though, I don't trust anymore...

 

[ijustwishtodie]

No, I wouldn't. I do have two users here who I would probably want to meet but, in the end, I wouldn't meet them because of my autism and because of how used I am being alone

 

[DeletedAccount0864]

Sure, why not. I'm in Europe, and it's not like I really have hope for my life, so any sort of friendly connection before I go would be nice.

 

[ReadyOrNot?]

After a loooooong phase of getting to know someone, I might. But I'm hesitant to do so.

 

[Linda]

Probably not, but that's mainly for practical reasons. I live in a remote, rural area. It's very unlikely that anyone on this site lives anywhere near me, and I'm not willing to travel long distances.

 

[LittleBlackCat]

I'm in West Yorkshire, UK and I would like to hang out with someone with similar interests (ctb is a good start) as I'm very lonely. However I'm also socially anxious so not a good mix. I could probably act normal for a couple of hours .. social situations exhaust me. But I'm still up for trying . I'm in my 30's so, kind of old/older than most probably.

 

[neonzebra]

I wouldn't mind meeting someone from here.
I'm on the south coast of the UK.

 

[CuriosityAndCat]

Texas, I don't think I'd have problems meeting up with someone I've chatted with.

 

[Ambivalent1]

@sserafim because she seems cool. United States. I talked to someone on the phone here once. I used a burner phone. Then folded it in half Breaking bad style and threw it in the trash lol

 

[venomousSSërpent74]

I'm from canada, quebec, near the city of montreal. Willing to pm but scared to read them, willing to go out & meet, but intense agoraphobia right now.

I'm lonely... I probably couldn't go out ... Too sick & fell in deep despair so much I can't do shit... I'm shitty ... People tell me I'm too negative when I ask for help about my reality...

Sigh... People here are nice... I feel like I belong no where anyway...

Maybe a need a hug. From a woman like me. A guy offered me to cheer me up but abused me... He had a girlfriend too...

This world & myself disgusts me...

Wanna hang out?

Best way to hang?...

You should create a discord server

 

[falling_snow]

im from spain, and idgaf about doxxing, so im from oviedo, if anyone is near me dm me.

i need some physical contact

 

[xmissellax]

I would! I have social anxiety and autism so definitely not straight away. But I'd absolutely love to get to know a few people on here through messages and if I really hit it off with someone, sure, why not CTB together lmao. I'm from UK, outside but near London. Feel free to PM anyone who's UK too!

 

[Final_Choice]

Sure, there's a lot of cool people here which I'd love to get to know more, but only if I truly trust them with 100% certainty. Also only because I'm at the stage where I have nothing left to lose anymore, so I'm being less careful in a lot of things until the day arrives. US

 

[Return2themoonlight]

Its probably cause im lonely and have no friends but I would have no problem meeting people from here but that would only be after we develop some kind of trust and friendship from texting, talking on the phone, and video chatting. Its nice people on here regardless of our circumstances. Oh yea, im from California in the US.

 

[AlwaysAsleep]

yes I think it would be nice to talk to others with similar experiences. northern california reach out xx

 

[sserafim]

Lol you seem pretty cool too, I'd love to meet you as well. Btw where in the US are you from? I'm from New York

 

[druggedonsurvival]

It would be nice to meet other people irl who have a similar pessimistic mindset as mine as that's basically impossible to do in person, but I have serious reservations about meeting anyone from the internet. Generally it's a good idea to stick to the truism that an anonymous user of the internet can be 100% who they say they are or 100% lying to take advantage of you. If there were a safer alternative to meet like-minded people I'd love to do that, but here I think it's just too risky. Some other users have hinted that they might meet after getting to know the person through text conversations, etc. To those people I would say be extremely careful if you are going to do that because there are many many predators on all corners of the web who will do and say all the right things to make you trust them (although the majority probably are targeting children).

When I pushed to reply, I saw the edit and was confused lol. Yeah that'd be cool. I'm far from you though US is so big haha

I tell every new acquaintance my true thoughts about life. You should too and then eventually you'll meet a kindred spirit.

 

[fishlover]

i would, and already have. im in nyc

 

[Aliceinborderline]

Im from toronto ontario canada and honestly i just want a friend someone to make this shitty world a little more tolerable

 

[butternutsquash]

Theoretically I wouldn't mind meeting people from here in person but I'd want to really get to know them first. No hard feelings to anyone but, as an introverted person, chances are meeting someone in person will be very awkward and maybe even uncomfortable, especially if you don't have a lot in common other than being on this site. I feel like meeting someone else just because we're both depressed means we'll just end up being depressed together. Plus the whole meeting a stranger on the internet thing is a little scary so again, I'd definitely want to be friends with them first.

 

[bridgegirl]

I have done it, and it went well. That said, I wouldn't again with someone else - honestly there's too much that can go wrong if you don't know the person well.

 

[Lookingtoflyfree]

I would be open to it. The biggest challenge is that I want to move and don't know where to move to but it would be lovely to know there was at least one person I could have as a friend. I don't have anyone now and I hate it.

 

[R_N]

Hard no. And also, I don't really go out of my way to meet people anymore.

 

[MindFrog]

I do want to.

But I'm a woman so there's a higher chance of me ending on a ditch somewhere than meeting a kindred spirit.

 

[ilovecats]

I'm from Romania so I guess I would never be able to meet someone from sasu in person. However, it's not something I mind as it would be too much for me. I find it too hard to talk to new people, especially face-to-face.

 

[xhelx]

I'm from Romania and I would love to meet people from here irl (after we talk for a while)
Feel free to dm me

 

[TopChicken]

I would. I think everyone can use another friend or kindred spirit. Even if it is fleeting and one of us ends up CTB hopefully we would have influenced each other in a positive way. I feel like the majority of people don't have enough meaningful connections, or are lonely/missing something in one way or another.

Also like others have mentioned, you can always talk beforehand or mitigate risk somehow.

I'm in NJ.
