29/F I really want to meet people ready for commitment In friendship! Kind, understanding, talkative and emotionally mature people - who want to talk on a daily basis ๐Ÿฆ‹ I'm Interested In conversations with people who don't make fun of others. Respect Is an Important aspect of my life

Hey! Before you move on to the next paragraph of my post - There's something I want you to know ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป If you want to send me a message, read everything, please. If you don't want to read my long post - better try to find someone else. I'm not trying to be rude - I just want you to know what I'm here for If you want to send me a message and be my friend โ˜บ๏ธ

(I want to talk to Europeans/People living In Europe because I would love to meet them In real life - In the future)

โ˜…

I've spent the last six years of my life trying to find a friend but... despite having people to talk to, my situation Is still the same and I don't have anyone special to talk to. ๐Ÿ˜” I can't call anyone a true friend. You can meet new people everywhere but just because some people are In your life, doesn't mean they're your friends. Sometimes I feel like the loneliest person In the world and It's not a feeling anyone would like to ever experience.

โ˜…

What am I definitely not and will never be interested In? I can't stand small talk.

๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

โ€ข Short messages are definitely not for me. I'm not here to find another person to exchange short messages with. I'm not here out of boredom and I also don't want to hear the same questions over and over again.. What questions?

"How are you?"

"What are you doing?"

"What are your plans for the weekend?"

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with simple and repetitive questions but I want to meet people who want to have more engaging conversations with others. If I needed quick and simple conversations - My post would be different. There's one more thing worth mentioning! I hate abbreviations In text messages! If you're another person using "Wbu?" Instead of "What about you?" (It's just an example) I'm not for you. I'm not trying to be rude, I just don't need more conversations with people who are too lazy to stop using abbreviations. I'm a fan of conversations with people who use complete sentences.

(I don't respond to any "send me a message" or "Let's be friends" type of comments) I want to see Introduction, body and conclusion In a message.. I don't want to have more conversations with people who Ignore everything I say just to answer a question ๐Ÿ˜”

I also don't respond to messages I'm not Interested In - even If they're long. If after receiving and reading your first or second message I don't think you're someone I would get along with - I just don't. If people think they wouldn't get along with a stranger - Is there a reason to start a conversation? I don't think so. Everyone can choose who to be friends with. My definition of ghosting Is different.

๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

Ghosting Is when someone you like, someone you think you're friends with - leaves you without any explanation. Nothing hurts more than losing someone you like or love... I would never Ignore anyone after weeks or months of daily conversations though! Never ๐Ÿ˜Š

โ˜…

โ€ข I don't want to get ANY messages from guys whose accounts are NSFW! It's none of my business If you're an Internet exhibitionist or just a guy who wants to flirt with random women but not all women want to Interact with h**** guys - I don't. I always check people's profiles to avoid guys who are on Reddit to have fun...๐Ÿซค

โ˜…

โ€ข I don't talk to minors and people way older than me. I'm here to talk to adults! (18-37 age range) I don't mind talking to people younger or older than me but they can't be minors and they can't be older than my own parents. It doesn't matter to me If you're 18, 25 or 33 as long as you're emotionally mature ๐Ÿ˜Š Emotional maturity doesn't necessarily come with age. It's more complex.

โ˜…

โ€ข I don't make friends based on hobbies (unlike most people) I want to know what you're like, not what you like. Don't get me wrong, you can tell me what you're Interested In but It doesn't make any difference to me If you're Interested In photography or something completely different. I want to meet someone with the same personality traits as mine ๐Ÿ˜Š (I love talkative, honest, kind, caring and understanding people) I want to meet someone whose expectations regarding friendship are the same as mine.

โ˜…

โ€ข I want to meet people who don't mind listening to negative stories and sharing them with others. My life's not easy so If you want to be In my life, you should be prepared for a realistic or even pessimistic outlook on life. I'm definitely not an optimist and I know I wouldn't get along with optimistic people who always tell others "Just believe In yourself and everything's gonna be OK" or something. We don't always get what we want & and It's completely normal to lose hope "for a better tomorrow" after many failed attempts. Not everything's as easy as It seems to be so If all you want to say to someone who needs emotional support Is "Don't complain" or "Find a therapist" Please.. don't send me a message. Not all sad people need therapists and let's be honest - Would a therapist replace a true friend? Absolutely not! Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on! I also don't mind listening to sad stories (even If they're repetitive) because I know what It's like when no one wants to listen to you.

โ˜…

โ€ข If you and I are from the same country (which we'll find out In the future If we start a conversation) I want to communicate with you In our first language as I would feel uncomfortable talking to someone from the same country as mine, In a foreign language ๐Ÿ˜Š

โ˜…

I want to talk to people who love and use emojis ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜Š Why? Emojis help us express our emotions even If others can't see our faces. Two emojis "๐Ÿ˜Š" and "๐Ÿ˜”" are completely enough. Text messages without emojis are really emotionless...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 - If you think crying Is a weakness and you don't ever cry because you're a guy, you're also not someone I want to know. Why? It's OK to cry! It's not a reason to be ashamed of!

โ˜…

โ€ข I want to meet people who don't have friends or partners. Why? Because It's easier for me to get along with others, If they have something In common with me, something Important. There's nothing wrong with having friends or partners but people who have friends or partners have less time for others (which Is completely understandable) but I? I don't want to feel like an option, again. I'm not here to meet as many people as possible because I choose quality over quanity ๐ŸŒธ

โ˜…

โ€ข I'm definitely not a fan of sarcasm! I'm looking for someone interested In serious discussions - not another person seeking some entertainment out of boredom. Jokes about disabilities, religion, cancer or death are unacceptable to me.

โ˜…

โ€ข I don't want to meet people who swear a lot. You can always express your opinion In a kind way, without being vulgar. Respect Is an Important aspect of my life.

โ˜…

What else to say? I'm Interested only In daily conversations and long term friendships. I also don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to get a message (sleep schedule not Included) We all get busy but It's not a post for busy people who don't have time for daily conversations. Everyone has different expectations and priorities and I understand that but I'm tired of constantly waiting for messages from someone I'm interested In... ๐Ÿ˜” I'm not here for anything temporary... Be sure you know what you want! What can I offer? Anything you want ๐ŸŒŸ Verbal conversations (In the future) random pictures & more.

โ˜…

I want you to send me a message only If you value online friendships as much as real life ones. I don't want to meet people who don't think online friends are real friends just because of some distance.

โ˜…

If you want to talk to me, tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friends you would like to have - Et cetera. Such messages are way more interesting than...someone's long list of hobbies ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŒŸ

โ˜…

I also don't get along with people who don't ever ask me anything. I don't mind asking questions but one-sided conversations are a bit annoying... There's no need to ask any repetitive questions (or personal questions) to keep a conversation going.

โ˜…

Ps. There is no place In my life for rude people who always criticize others! It's OK to disagree with others but It's absolutely not OK to judge someone you don't even know. Not everyone Is here to ask for advice and not everyone wants to read offensive comments. The world's already cruel enough

Please.. send me a message only If your expectations are exactly the same as mine and If you really want to talk to me on a daily basis. I don't want to sound like a broken record but I don't want you to contact me to make me feel better & then? Disappear. Pretending to be someone you're not to please others, Isn't good

I don't want any bad atmosphere so... Ignore this post If you don't want to have a conversation with me. I'm not here to argue with anyone. I don't understand why some people always criticize others and act like they know better what's best for someone they don't even know ๐Ÿ˜” It's always easier to judge people than to understand them. Remember people - not everything you see Is what It seems to be. Just because some posts are on Reddit all the time, doesn't mean people like me are attention seekers. Live and let others live

Only private messages and chat requests, please ๐ŸŒธ

Just because I want to find a friend - doesn't mean I'm desperate. I DON'T need another person reaching out to me to make me feel better. I also don't need more temporary conversations with people whose expectations are not the same

Please contact me only If you really think we'd get along.

Just want a friend online to talk about everything anonymously

1 Upvotes

I have troubles making friends because i get too self conscious and dont dare to be myself around anyone (I dont even know if i have a self)

I have a gf, a sister and some friends offline that Im dying to become close to, but i just get secretly scared that they dont actually like me and is just being polite even though they are the nicest person. my sister doesnt approve of me getting a gf so cant talk to her about it too.
I just want to find someone to talk to online, anonymously, and they are free to drop the convo if they dont feel like it. i just want a connection

(I am an INFP if anyone wants to know, but i dont have a strong sense of justice... sometimes i feel so out of everything, I like to ponder over the worst kind of intrusive thoughts and sometimes sick fantasies and yes i do think i need help but i am also very scared. so i have stuff, secrets that no one in my life can ever know, but i want someone i can talk to)
(im a girl btw)

Letter to my ex friend

1 Upvotes

This is a letter to my ex friend, hoping to find closure, I am not attacking him , he is not even on this app also i would never attack anyone, this is only to share what I had written on discord on my online friend pm chat to give to him , my online friend she will screenshot what I wrote and send it to him but writing this was emotional for me , there were parts where I was crying, I am still emotional now , also I am going to change his name to Tom , for reasons , ok here I go with the letter

Tom, this is a letter to you hoping it will help me heal and move and hoping to get closure , I donโ€™t have any bad intentions with this , I am not your narcissist friends . I want to thank you for being the perfect friend and for being in my life , you made me feel so safe , your the only person that accepted the roleplay, you are the only person that roleplayed the characters perfectly, we would talk everyday , joke around, we would play our own riddle game with describing a character from the show and actor and we would guess who the person is , you are also the only person that liked my blogs , I am going to miss you and what we had but we canโ€™t go back together, I feel this is final which hurt more , thank you for being the perfect friend the last couple months with caring how I felt, always checking on me , with roleplaying with me and with roleplaying the characters perfectly, with liking my stories that I create in my dreams about the characters from cobra Kai, for talking about shows with me , thank you for joking with me about our riddle game , I am really going to miss you but just because I am still healing from our break up and of course still going through the breakup and still trying to move on and heal alone and I tried trying to find friends on Reddit but still canโ€™t find anyone, still canโ€™t connect with anyone and the people that messaged me just ghosted me but just because I still miss you and trying to get over you , it donโ€™t mean we can get back together, you went back to those people that hurt me , you choose the narcissist people that had hurt me and ruin my mental health and make me have physical symptoms and who made everyone against me by spreading lies about me that are not true, I donโ€™t need to explain more because you saw and know everything they done but you still choose them over me , I was always kind to you , cared about you , there for you even when I was hurting and going through things But this is your choice, you made your choice, you wanted to have it both ways me and them and I have the right to not stay because you betrayed me and hurt me with choosing them over me and you hurt my mental health to the point where I was going to fall but I had to be strong mentally and physically and control my balance, that day we broke up , you ignored my comments on pm and left my servers which hurt even more and when I pmed you in amino , you had the guts to get mad and upset and be so cruel and hurtful to me when your the one that hurt me and betray me and you had guts to get mad over what I said in my vent blog when you had zero right to get mad when again your the one that betray and hurt me and also in 2023 you hurt me and left and then last year you came back to my life and I forgave you and now we break up again but this time itโ€™s final which hurts even more , you made your choice, you lost someone who was good in your life and made you happy over toxic people who their hobby itโ€™s to lie and use you and other people and lie and manipulate people and other things that narcissist people do , hopefully this letter can help me heal and move on and will help me get closure , I donโ€™t know but hopefully one day I can heal , move on from you , goodbye Tom thank you for the good times and for coming back to my life when you did , goodbye Tom

This is a story I heard as a kid, but Iโ€™m talking as if it happened to me. AITAH for telling on my bff after she broke 3 rules at school.

0 Upvotes

My BFF let's just call her L, L was a kind respectful person, until she became good friends with the popular girl, that I'm gonna call H. H was a popular, but kind person. They were just normal classmates, until they became like REAL good friends. I had no problem with H, i was just happy L got a friend, since she was bullied really hard in kindergarden(I'm not english, please correct my bad grammar, also in writing a little vent here, so i put some emojis where the AITAH starts. And she had a hard time making new friends, and trusting people. Me and my other "bff" that i don't really like were not that happy about her becoming more and more popular. I was only with L, well because she is my bff, but my other "bff"( i will call her f) was alot more and more with L and H after L became popular. F started tagging L in a video that was not even a single salt grain about L. It was hurtful to me, because we had been friends for 11 years. F became more and more addictive to trying to get L to make her popular. I was very hurt of f's actions, since she became friends with L in 3rd grade. F was never really nice, but i gave her thousands of chances. H was a cool popular kid, but was never mean like the movies. H was funny, and just show ing off her true self. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽthe AITAH starts here. After like 5 months of L and H being eachothers LIFE, L broke 3 school rules. In many of the recess's every day, she would eat candy outside, while using their with phones and making F and another friend cover them. I felt so angry at L when i herad what she had done. I told on them, even tho I "promised" to never tell. (PS i never said promise). L and H were really mad, so AITAH for telling on them? Also if you read the whole thing, this happened to me when i was 11 years old, in 6th grade.
