Find A Friend
Let's play Find A Friend! Post your first name, one hobby, and one random fact about you! Also post two qualities you look for in a friend! If you feel you match someone's else's qualities, reply and say hi to your new friend! :)
I'll start: My name is Olivia. I have really been into crocheting lately, once I have free time from schoolwork. A random fact about me is that I have been to tons and tons of concerts and get super crazy about them, even though I'm naturally shy. It's like it brings out another side of me. Two qualities I'd like in a friend are that they must be able to geek out with me to music, and they must love dogs!
Who's next?? :)
Hi, I know exactly how you feel.
Please don't feel your on your own . This is a common problem and I can totally relate. I have been there trying to make friends and be myself but hasn't worked. I even tried to better myself or just start to accept and believe it's me and no one wants me .
I can say all of that has been my real life story and experience . Everything I said is true with know doubting myself that its me. Only when I ask others they say it isn't but how am I suppose to believe that .
The only way I think that can help you make friends is by going out meeting people doing the old fashion way. I know that's easy said then done but I think it's the only way where you can only know if and what it maybe that's stopping you making friends.
I am also an introvert but since I've been meeting new people not all are the same and there are people who care and that are nice. I know your thinking wait they arnt but I'm one of the most honest people and I wouldn't lie at all about this who is that person going through what your going through.
The most common thing is that people find that starting a conversation is hardest. Therefore if it's not knowing what to say to someone or how to get the conversation going then there is advice and support out there like the internet, meeting those who are going through same in person, tv, workshops and meet up groups. There is help out there .
I hope you can find it and get to where you wanna be but your not alone. Think what you want and when you want it to happen.
Don't give up .
Hello to anyone reading this! Im 17 and more of an introvert than extrovert, which causes me to worry every time I make a new friend because Id hate to lose them due to my terrible social skills. My hobbies include drawing, pc gaming, working out, but most of all writing. Ive always had a childish love for novels and that crisp book smell that comes from a newly bought book. Early on I realized that I wanted to create stories, share my own ideas and explore the depths of my imagination to see how far I could get and what I could discover. If one word could describe me, it would be adventurous. Ive traveled my entire life and I never plan to stop, Id love to meet someone who shares my passion for adventure.
Im a friendly person, and I generally get along with anyone! In all of my experience with losing friends, Ive found that the most trustworthy ones are those who you find online. I welcome any awkwardness, for Im just a bundle of it myself, so please, come chat. c:

I like to run and go to the beach and I really love reality TV shows. ☺

@TidyCat2381
Hi! I'm always here if you want to talk and I also love kylo ren lol!
Hey! Im Avery and like a lot of you I suffer from loneliness.
Ive been really trying to meet new people, experience new things by myself as a coping strategy but it is so hard since I enjoy being with people and I feel upset when I see people with groups of friends all happy. I feel bad for being envious but its definitely hard not to feel upset about not having something that seems so simple. To distract myself I play games on my PC as well as go on adventures with myself and my dog like I said before. I am lucky to have my family who loves me in my life so they do things with me occasionally but I still always feel like I have a huge void. I try to meet new people but no one seems to be interested and Im really trying to get to know all types of people but Im having no luck. How do you guys cope with being lonely and trying to make new friends? I can have a hard time dealing with this and would love to try new things to improve my situation if you guys have any suggestions
@imaginativeDime6827 I realize this was posted a little while ago, but Hi! You and me sound quite similar. What games do you like to play on PC? Any other interests?
Hey, I
My name is Ashley and I'm 32. I'm going through a really bad time with loneliness right now.
Some of my interests include: Old Hollywood, old movies, classic TV and history.
I'd love to make friends but because I'm 32 I'd prefer you be in your twenties and older, please no minors!
Hi @Ashley0626. You can find other people in their 30s here.
Hello @Ashley0626, I'm also 32y.o. female. Living in the states. I moved away from things about 5 years ago and I've found it hard to find people to hang out with. It would be nice to get to know each other if you're game.
Hello everyone! I'm going through a period in my life where my old friendships are growing apart, and I'm attempting to make new ones which makes things kind of lonely. I just graduated college too so a lot of things are changing.
In my spare time I love to play video games. I love the RPG genre, and right now my favorite games are in the Final Fantasy franchise. I'm also a science geek and love everything from dinosaurs, to DNA, to the latest technology. When I'm not playing games I love to write. I'm working on several novels right now and trying to avoid getting carpal tunnel haha.
I'd love to make some new friends with similar interests, or even people that just want to talk. I'm extremely introverted, so I can probably relate to a lot of introverted-type hobbies.
I lost contact with everyone I know after graduating from high school. Despite working in customer service and talking to people on a daily basis, there's a very big difference between serving a customer at work, and having actual friends that you can just talk to and interact with. Because I've been so isolated for so long I suffer bouts of anxiety whenever I do try and talk to anyone and it's really gotten to the point where some random woman from the salvation army had a chat with me on the street and i almost fell apart, purely because somebody actually showed me genuine kindness and compassion. And I can't turn to my own family about it because they're all very much the opposite to me, and as a result I end up feeling extremely uncomfortable opening up to them, and theyd feel extremely uncomfortable if i tried.

Hi Aussie 88
im going to my cousins wedding this evening. I was sitting on the couch watching the Food Network channel and then I decided I need to go take care of myself so I actually went and got a pedicure manicure and got my hair trimmed. So today was a spa day for me and believe me I normally dont take care of myself like this especially the pedicure and manicure.
My mom will be moving in with me and she is a great support to me. I was thinking how Im not very close to my relatives.
I was then thinking how will I do down the road if my circle of friends is extremely small and Im not close to my relatives.
I stumbled across 7 cups of tea this morning and I appreciated the encouragement and advice. A lot of it had to do with finding my hobbies my interests and learning how to be happy within. I know I can do it and at the same time I need a encouragement advice assurance and reassurance.
sometimes I think I do better with knowing people in passing. This means when I come across people in the community and I show a smile or a good attitude and I have a little conversation.
peace be with you
@Peacefulmeadow pampering yourself sounds like it would have been really amazing.
Having that closeness with your family is important, I struggle with it though. Generally at family events I find myself sitting off to the side buried in my phone while they're talking amongst themselves.
And yes, I can understand knowing people in passing. Working at a petrol station, I tend to see my customers when I'm out and about and we recognise each other but it's Not much more than a polite hello.
I just wish I had the confidence to not feel so awkward opening up to people and maintain a long-lasting friendship and not feel such strong anxiety in social situations.
@Aussie88
Hi Aussie88, Im trying to learn I dont have to apologize for being myself. Sometimes I think Im too long-winded or I get too excited about something or seeing someone. Im still working on it and Im a work in progress. Again I dont have to apologize for being myself. See, I needed to repeat myself because I got to get it in me that I do not need to apologize or feel like Im not good enough or that I dont fit in. I am enough and I need to keep reminding myself of this.
I am enough.
You are enough
Hi I'm new here looking to make friends I'm 36 I like reading fantasy and horror books like writing and horror movies are my fav
@blueClementine157
Hello there, I'm 35 male, I would love to chat with you sometime. Not sure how, we're both memebers ..
I watched a horror movie yesterday at the theatres, as a way to treat myself this weekend, it was horrifying :D the movie is Hereditary .!
@blueClementine157 g'day, how's it going. I'm new to the site too. Its hard to meet new people.
So you read fantasy books? Think the last fantasy books I read were the dragonlance series. Its so easy to get lost in a good book and just escape for a while. And you said you enjoyed writing? What do you write about? I used to write short stories a long time ago, haven't picked up a pen in years. Now it's more sketching and drawing more than writing. :)
