29f hoping to talk to some mature people!

• Upvotes

Heya! I'm Mollie from the uk! I'm quite bored at the mo so was hoping to chat to some people. Clearly I'm new to reddit, so please don't judge me, im not a bot, figured this would be a decent way to build some karma before I hopefully start posting of other reddits!

Now I'm down to talk about most things, im quite a basic girly, so dont be too harsh if you find me boring lol. Im into politics, books, movies, sometimes games, fashion, literally anything! Don't be scared to suggest or ask anything! Thanks for reading

I've been in this country eight years, I have a good job and a nice apartment and almost no close friends. I miss my mom terribly. I love cooking food from home, hiking, and long books. Want a real friend, not a hi-once-a-year contact.

23F Looking For a Distraction From Life

6 Upvotes

Hey there. My name is Sabrina and I've just been having a hard time at work. I think my boss and all my coworkers hate me, but I really need this job. Finding a new job in this economy is impossible and I can't afford to miss any time right now. I just have to keep my head down and push forward I guess. But I don't know how much longer I can take it. Would love to just chat with people and get a break from life. I know life is hard for everyone and we all need breaks.

Need someone to talk to!

• Upvotes

Okay, so, I usually dont post stuff like this since im a bit socially anxious, but I kinda need a friend right now. Not someone to lean on, but just, to get me distracted and talk to about random fun shit y’know? Im currently in a kinda toxic relationship that I can’t leave, and I’ve been seperated from my friends for years now and I do feel lonely. I’m 18, love playing video games, and work as a security guard at an auto auction!! I would love to chat about your pets, hobbies, cars, music, or really anything else!

Amicable but sad. Two decades of my life is ending gently. I love and hate that it's not dramatic. I like gardening, oil painting, and my two big dogs. Want a friend who can hold complicated things without needing to solve them.

Left a bad relationship, quit a bad job, and now I'm 29 in my childhood bedroom trying to piece something together. I'm not sad every day but some days are hard. I read a lot, I paint, I walk. Would love a friend who won't judge the mess.

Just a rant born out of a sleepless night among many

4 Upvotes

Oh long nights,

Why do you torture me so?

I know I've got a lot to get in order,

But trust me, I've got a plan.

Yet here you are again,

Laughing and howling.

Digging ghosts that ceased to matter a long ago.

Painting grim landscapes that I'm yet to see.

What made you this cruel?

What made you this twisted?

Why have you stopped spinning dreams of silver linings?

Why have you been so cold lately?

Seems like you're never gonna let go of me.

You'll keep coming back and so will I.

You may be eternal but don't forget-

Even though I may not last longer than you,

I've seen you at your worst.

And I've stopped to care.

29F - Night Shift Needs New Friends

• Upvotes

Hey! 👋 29F here. Looking for some chill, platonic conversations and hopefully a long-term friendship if we click! I work night shifts, so I’m always happy to have someone to talk to while trying to keep myself awake. You’d think I’d be used to it by now, but nope.

I’m pretty much open to chatting about anything. Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of comedy podcasts. Bad Friends with Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino is one of my favorites and I’ve also been revisiting the Jenna & Julien Podcast for the nostalgia.

I play games occasionally, but honestly, I enjoy watching other people play more than playing them myself. So if you have any fun or interesting playthroughs to recommend, I’m all ears! And if you ever want some company while gaming, I’d be more than happy to hang out and watch.

If we have anything in common or you’re just looking for someone new to talk to, feel free to message me! I’d love to meet some new people and see where a good conversation takes us.

30M Wanting more people to chat with

• Upvotes

I’m looking to meet some new people to chat with from time to time. My weekdays are usually pretty slow at work, so if nothing decides to break, I have a ton of downtime. I'm not looking for dating or a relationship — just hoping to find some cool people to talk with and see where the conversations go.

I’m into a pretty random mix of things, so there’s usually something to talk about:

I just built some new garden beds and put up a bigger greenhouse this year. I’m always down to trade plants, and I’ve gotten pretty deep into growing things.

I have around 10 fish tanks/outdoor tubs/ponds, with plans for more. I keep freshwater fish and plants and can probably talk about them for way longer than most people would want. I have 6 tortoises. They spend the summer outside and come inside during the winter.

Lately I’ve been playing more survival games like Palworld, Planet Zoo 2 but I always seem to end up going back to Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, or Valorant.

I’ve really gotten into making different kinds of bread lately and want to start experimenting with sourdough soon. I’ve been trying to eat healthier and work out more lately.

Weekends are usually a mix of house projects, gardening, or whatever random project I’ve decided to start that week.

If you’re also into any of this stuff, or even if you’re not and just like having random conversations throughout the day, feel free to message me.

30 F looking someone to connect with

• Upvotes

I’m hoping to meet someone I can share little pieces of my day with, have random conversations with, laugh over the simplest things, and slowly get to know without feeling the need to pretend to be someone I’m not.

I may have a little extra weight, but I hope you’ll see beyond that and get to know the person I am. I believe there’s something beautiful about being appreciated for your heart, your humor, your kindness, and the way you make someone feel.

I’m not looking for someone who sees perfection in me. I’m hoping to find someone who sees the beauty in getting to know me. Someone who values connection over appearance, sincerity over first impressions, and a genuine heart over society’s standards.
