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?? :)
And I'm Bee. I just failed the board exam I reviewed for four times, I'm currently unemployed, not in good terms with most of my family, and two friends left who I barely talk to because apparently they're busy with their productive meaningful lives on their jobs. But I've been getting drunk on so much episodes of Friends which is funny because I don't have any friends in real life. I also like to read novels but lately I haven't been doing that because of my anxiety. It would be really nice if I could have someone out there to talk to.

Hi. I relate a lot with your post. I do have a few friends, but very few are local now so I don't really talk with anyone. I would love to be your friend. My name is Krista, and I'm employed sort of. It's really weird but my work/study job took christmas break and my other job is more of a call in job and they haven't needed me in many months. So I'm trying to find another job in the meantime but it's so hard to find employment here. I've been spending a lot of time at home.
I also really love to read but I also love to write as well. I want to be an author one day. I would like to learn more about your struggles and interests.
@ElfGirl95
Nice to meet you, Krista. Thanks for taking an interest in me. You had me at wanting to be an author one day, thats my ultimate dream too and writing is my real passion, but I made a mistake of choosing a study that I dont really enjoy. Thus, having a job related to it more terrifying for me. Anyway, at least you have a job. Me, Im stuck at home all day being a financially burden to my family.
@fictionjunkie
I'm sorry you feel that way. Life is really fickle sometimes. My sister has a hard time with her health and she often feels like a big burden to the family. I'm sure you're really awesome though. My sister sure is. Just keep trying! I'm here thinking and praying things will get better for you!
I'm really glad writing is a passion of yours. No one in my family has that passion and very few of my friends seem interested in it. So I'm just doing it alone pretty much. What's your favorite genre to read and/or write? You said you took a study and now would hate to be in a job related to it. Why didn't you like the study?
@ElfGirl95
Im badly hoping for that too considering this bad life feels like taking forever. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers, I really need that right now.
To answer your question, I didnt like the study and most probably the job related to it because I dont really enjoy it, meaning Ive mistakenly chosen a study in college thats not my passion, which is writing. So now, I have to find a job related to that study I dont really like just to make up the time and money Ive spent studying that course.
I understand what youre saying. No one in my family writes as much as I do. But honestly, I only write in journals and sometimes I create not-so-good poems. Right now, Im into young-adult novels. How about you?
@fictionjunkie
It sucks to hear you didn't like what you chose to study in college. It happens to a lot of people. I hope you can find a job you really like, and I understand that you just have to make due with what you have right now. Personally, I've been struggling with my emotions and anxiety from triggers that happened over time. Long story short, my father was emotionally abusive when I was a kid. I've already dealt with the aftermath and haven't seen him for years. But my mother remarried and I'm living with them and my sister for the time being since we were in a big move across the state. My stepfather hates me though. He's not abusive, but he's said some really nasty things about me and my sister in places where we can hear him. It reminded me of some things my father used to say, like how I'm stupid and can never make it in the adult world. He says I'm a leech, but I know these things are stupid and wrong. I pay all of my bills on time too. The talk has still affected me though and I'm back to my old ways of thinking and worrying. That's why I'm here. I often feel like there's something wrong with me and I get sad for no reason sometimes.
But everyone has their own struggles and I try to find enjoyment in the little things. I like any story about adventure or amazing characters. I read a lot of fantasy. I'm currently writing a fantasy book I want to publish at some point. It's gone through several drafts and is nearly done. It's got curses, elves, and original races and the like in it.
hey,my name is caleb.I like video games and youtube,mabey because thats all I really know what to do.Im looking for some friends around my age(16-18),Im trying to get some in real life but I feel rhis could also help.
Hey there!
My name is Lily, I love reading, listening and signing to music and writing, actually Im working on my third book! I believe to be a trustworthy and dedicated friend.
I would love to here some stuff from people around here and hope to make a few couple new friends! Have a nice one!
@EverlastingReader9281
Hi Lily! I'm Michelle. I'm kind of scared doing this. I never feel I'm good enough and there's no point to alot of stuff... I used to read alot, but as i went to college and just got influenced by others to just binge on TV, I stopped reading. I go to the library often, and I'm interested in self-help books and magazines. But everytime i borrow a novel, i can never finish it! It's either I'm distracted, or just plain bored of the book.
I'm already on my fourth year at college. I'm deciding whether or not to graduate on time or not . I have the option to study abroad. That just seems so cool. I wouldn't push myself to travel otherwise. I would delay my travels, if i were to do it on my own. But if school is doing it for me, then i should be fine right. I'm just a lazy person and definitely lack motivation. I'd rather just not do anything and stay in bed, too often.
Anyway, what books do you write?

@littlestolive I love music. I haven't been to many concerts, but I want to go to more. I spend tons of time on spotify just looking for new music to listen to, and I listen to pretty much any genre. I also love dogs, and have an adorable labradoodle!
Hi! I'm anna, I'm 19 and I'm in desperate need of friends. I literally have no one at the moment and I feel lonely all the time especially since I'm going through a really hard time right now and I just need someone who's gonna distract me and be there for me and I will do the same for them. I would love to find longtime friends so please hit me up!
@Piscesbaby
Hi Anna,
My name is Flora. Do you have any plans this weekend?
@Piscesbaby
Hi, I'm Skye, I'd love to be your friend.
Hi everybody I'm Skye, I'm 14 from the United states. I'd love to meet new friends.
Hi! I'm 19 years old and female. Im in a really rocky place with friends right now, as my high school ones and I are growing apart, and my college friends are more shallow or male. I deeply desire the close female friendships I once had, and am working everyday on my current social anxiety to make it easier to find some.
Some of my hobbies include: dancing, singing, researching fashion/fashion history, crochet, exploring cities, and hiking.
@diplomaticNest2838
Hi! I'm 4 years older, and I can relate to college friends just being shallow. It really means alot when we have friends that are loyal and care more about just shallow topics of convo. I love exploring cities! Since the pandemic I've had much more solo adventures either through biking or through the train, and found new places in the city. ❤ NY pride
Hello, I would like to find a friend who can relate to me. I have been living with depression for ~30 years now. I was adopted so I've always had identity issues. I do love to talk about old music, films, theatre, history, sometimes politics, and it would really help if I could get to know people who won't judge me for being so sad most of the time.
hey my name is jasmeen, i love listening to music , random fact abt me is tht i am good at academics like creative writing and debates etc lol, i want a non judgemental friend who is loyal and upfront.
