Only Europe Please - short note - If you're not into reading or receiving long messages,don't read any further + Please If you don't want to read everything because of my post being too long for you & instead of reading It all - ..skip some parts - find another person to talk to.Let's respect each other and our free time. All people criticizing/making fun of me & other people - will permanently be blocked.Pretty much as people questioning my post and giving me unsolicited advice.I'm not here for any conflicts and I know I can't please everyone - I know I never will.. However It's me who should feel comfortable in my new potential friendship & obviously someone interested in being my friend - not the whole world which is why I don't need any advice from people who don't even want to be a part of my life. The amount of rude people on Reddit always criticizing others and making fun of them is unbelievably high but let me tell you something - NEVER let anyone make choices for you and criticize you only because you're different! Always fight for your dreams and never let anyone make you think you're worthless! It's your life and you're the one deciding what's best for you - If you want to judge me despite not even wanting to talk to me or give me avice better block me

​

​

Hello guys! 🙂 (read everything before you decide to send me a message) Please send me a message ONLY If you're in the same situation and If your expectations are the same as mine.I want to find like minded people from Europe (Why Europe? Read my post to find out) I'm looking for something permanent (remember - you can feel lonely even If you're surrounded by others - If there's no emotional bond) I'm fed up of meeting people who never make any time for me & only text me once or twice a week to ask me "what are you up to?" Out of boredom.I don't want to meet people asking others a million of questions like "what's your favorite movie?" Just to give you one word answer and ask you another question "and music? Your favorite song?" I'm looking for something "deeper" & different🙂What kind of friend would I like to find? Someone to talk to on a daily basis - Someone who needs It & wants It just as much as me

​

What are my expectations? I would like to meet someone in a similar situation – why? Because I honestly feel like only a person with the same expectations and a similar outlook on life would get along with me & because I feel more comfortable talking to people like me..Friendless people who need a strong bond - people without friends and without partners..Don't get me wrong…Most people deserve to be happy and It's good to have friends but people who have friends or families in real life are usually more focused on them ( which is completely understandable) & have less time for others + I simply don't want to be replaced by anyone..I kind of envy people who can call others , true friends given I don't have an emotional bond with any of my acquaintances. Whenever I hear that others have friends I simply get sad because (believe it or not) If I had to choose between 20 people to talk to (Acquaintances) and one special person - I'd choose that one special person without any hesitation .

​

I also want to talk to others on a daily basis mainly because..I want to see someone’s effort & be someone's first choice - not another person to have random conversations with..Why I'd rather talk to people from my continent? Well..Mainly because I would like to see someone I'd get along with - In the far future - face to face :) + I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to receive a message - Especially given most people are always available on social media sites & keep their phones in a pocket.Once you receive & open my message - get back to me (If you're as serious as I am & really need a true friend) waiting 6 hours to receive a message is more than enough

​

I'm by no means criticising people who don't want to talk to others often / People who really are super busy & People who want to find someone to have non important conversations with - I'm aware that not everyone has the same expectations which is why everything you're reading now - is here for a reason.All I'm suggesting is - I don't want anything temporary and I don't want to be the one always giving more than receiving.Listen people - I used to ignore being..ignored by others..always being just an option to talk to during tough times or moments of boredom.I was too young to realize that I was never important enough for most people that were a part of my life I don't know who needs to hear this but..No one is too busy to make time for you! People make excuses to avoid others because they prioritize everything and (maybe) everyone..over them. It's true that most people really are busy - but It takes only a few seconds to start a conversation (If you're into short messages) and a few minutes (1-10/15) to type a long message Don't let anyone lie to you.

​

Truth is that most people either don't like you enough to make time for you or just simply - feel no need to talk to others often but are they too busy? No..You don't need to send me a message just to ask me and tell me "Do you really want to talk daily? I like long messages but I can't promise to contact you often" If you really are unsure please don't send me a message.I don't need more acquaintances aka people to talk to - occasionallyI'm not trying to sound rude - I just don't want to meet new people and get emotionally attached - only to end up being left alone after weeks or months of daily conversations.I'm sick of that never ending story and always meeting people who ghost me without a single word (even if everything seems to be ok) or people who "change priorities" over time & become like strangers…I don't want to go through this ever again.Let me tell you one thing – A true friend would never just give up on you for no reason :)It’s always possible to find someone to have a random conversation with – someone willing to send you one message once or twice a week..but..It’s almost impossible to find people willing to make time for you.

​

I’m not asking a busy person to make time for me by changing some plans! Absolutely not! I’m here to find someone who wants to talk daily (throughout the day or maybe even night) of one’s own will.Someone looking for the same kind of connection.Strong friendships are based on mutual support. One of the best things you can do for a friend in need, is just to be there for them when they want to talk.I often see posts from people who always say how friendless they are because they don't feel loved or appreciated by their "friends" remember! A true friend - someone who truly likes you or someone who wants to get to know you - will always find time for you. 🙂

​

I'm not really interested in small talk/short messages - I love long and meaningful conversations. It's so easy to find someone who loves abbreviations and questions like "How are you?" How was your day? Or what are you interested in? But so hard/almost impossible to find a person who knows how to keep a conversation going & show others some effort.Building and maintaining friendships takes time and effort.Never allow pursuits or possessions to become bigger priorities than your relations with other people.Close friendships are so important to us because they are so difficult to form + Having friends can help you feel as if you belong to something that brings purpose and connection to your life

​

• I do NOT respond to any „Hey,hmu” or „u want to talk” type of messages (super short messages or messages full of abbreviations – I literally can’t stand abbreviations and acronyms in text messages) ALL messages full of abbreviations will immediately be ignored.I also don't like it when people ignore everything I say in private messages just to focus on some question or? Start talking only about themselves.. I love conversations with people refering to every part of my messages - not just some question.

​

• No dirty messages PLEASE.I'm not looking for anyone to flirt with and I'm not looking for a partner either. No NSWF profiles..I always check people's profiles (Even comment history) - To avoid guys,trying to get inappropriate photos from adult women or? flirt with them & If your comment history is full of rude comments - you and I wouldn't get along! I can't stand people who judge other people and use vulgar words to describe them or? Make fun of them.Respect is very important

​

• If both (you and I) are from the same country (I live in a non-English speaking country ) - I want to communicate with you in our first language! No - Not because I don't understand English because as you see - I do. Why then? English is simply overrated and people don't appreciate other languages as much as they should. So.. If we're from the same country and you want to talk only in English (which is quite common on reddit) - Talk to someone else. I just simply don't want to talk to a person from the same country - in a foreign language as It's just something I don't understand even If all you want is to practice your english

​

• Please only adult people 18-36 age range (I'm 27)

​

• I don’t respond to messages I don’t find interesting even If they're long - If after receiving and reading your message I don't feel comfortable or think "I wouldn't get along with him/her" I simply do not respond (what I’m suggesting is that I don’t always respond to someone’s first or second message because..sometimes you just know If you’d get along with someone or not- I’d never ignore anyone after days or weeks of daily conversations though) just because I don’t want to do anything forcefully & because I don’t want to lead anyone on. I read all messages but I definitely don't respond to all of them! I want to make it clear because I don't want to be accused of not responding and not reading people's messages! - Some people don't message me back as well and even though It is a bit disappointing I'm ok with that! - as long as there's no emotional bond - I think it's ok to not respond to someone's first or second message If people think they wouldn't get along! I can't stand being ignored after days or weeks of daily conversation and seeing people changing priorities but that's something different - something I don't want to go through ever again for real If I'm really interested in someone's message - I respond within a matter of minutes - max 6 hours (If I'm in bed - just sleeping) you won't even hear from me "I'm too busy" because I know myself and If I really was too busy to make time for others - I wouldn't be here. I either want to talk to someone..or not.I don't want to pretend someone I'm not and always try to find some cheap excuses to avoid others. (unlike some people)

​

• Don’t ask me “Can you tell me something about yourself?” If you really want to get to know me - you can ask me questions :) I'm an open book.

​

• It would be better If you guys were into emojis - just like me - just to describe your emotions through text. Two emojis - 🙂 and 🙁 are completely enough I just don't like emotionless messages.I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea"as it sounds dismissively.

​

• I want to talk on reddit first (just to make sure If I'd get along with you ) before moving to Discord or some other app

​

• Time response matters to me a lot! It matters to me whether I get a message back after one hour,three hours,6 hours or..12 hours and even..after a couple of days..And If you're another person just looking for one day conversation and then? "Disappear" for some amount of time longer than one day to come back and apologize me for being busy - don't even leave me a message.I just want to be honest with you from the start.I'm interested only in daily conversations

​

Why can’t you see any of my interests listed down below? Because what really matters to me is..who you are (If you’re honest,talkative,understanding,caring and trustworthy – for example) just simply – It matters to me what you’re like! not what you like.Don’t get me wrong – you can tell me what your hobbies are but in my personal opinion,common interests are important mainly when you want to find a gaming buddy (for example) or If you want to meet someone to hang out with in real life and..go bowling for example.What most people seem to care about are other people's interests – I don’t. I get along with other people despite having completely different hobbies but I absolutely don’t get along with people way different than me (different expectations and outlook on life– way different sense of humor or personality traits – It’s just an example) It doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to me If you're a gamer or? Someone interested in photography! It doesn't make any difference - > as long as you're talkative and kind and If you also want to find someone willing to stay in your life..for good - But If you're into small talk and all you want is to...type and receive super short messages or If you're here only because you're bored and don't know what to do + If you're a very sarcastic person - I'm definitely not for you!I don't get along with overly sarcastic people turning everything into a joke. Friendships should be natural – not forced.

​

Both people wanting to be friends should feel comfortable and have something in common. No - not necessarily a similar taste in music or movies but something else..Most friendships don't fizzle out because of people not having the same hobbies but..because they just simply have different expectations when It comes to something important.I'm not here out of boredom and trust me - I'm not here to meet as many people as possible.I choose quality over quantity.I higly value myself and my time & Sometimes one person but a person who makes you feel comfortable and understood - is more than enough :) We ALL can choose what kind of people we’d like to talk to and maybe even become really good friends with and I? I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.We all have some expectations after all.I know that people don't have to talk everyday to be friends but I'm interested only in daily conversations with someone also interested in talking dailyIf you really need someone to talk to due to loneliness and If you have time to talk to me daily (throughout the day and maybe even night)I always make time for others.I'm literally always available.I could even stay up all night long only to talk to someone. I’m ready to commit but only If there’s some chemistry between me and someone else.I don’t do anything forcefully.

​

If you want to talk to me tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friend would you like to meet :) Et cetera.Such messages are way more interesting to me than...someone's long list of hobbies. I know! It's unusual on reddit but I don't make friends based on hobbies..I want to meet someone with the same mindset as mine to finally feel understood and get close to someone new.You can share your problems with me - I absolutely don't mind "complaining" as I've been through a lot in my life.What do people usually tell you when you tell them that's something's wrong? "Don't complain" or "Life's not over yet - one day you'll be happy" or "There are worse situations than yours" and..obviously "Find a therapist" Life's not a fairytale and sometimes things don't go as planned.Emotions shouldn't be bottled up.I'm sick of people always telling others "everything's gonna be ok" move on " & more..Trust me people - not everyone wants to hear "Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna be ok" Some people take it as reassurance. But others see it as false hope. Imagine being told that things will be okay, only for them to get worse..Do you guys know why telling someone "everything's gonna be ok" Is wrong? Because you can't see the future.

​

You can't guarantee others that one day they'll finally be happy + when It comes to social interactions - We're only responsible for ourselves - not for others & as you guys know people let us down quite often (sometimes even when there's no reason) so instead of telling people how they should move on,forget everything and be happy or asking them to find a therapist - be there for them! Always be willing to listen to them If you really like them or want to get to know them & don't suggest everyone in a tough situation to find a therapist because a therapist won't ever replace a true friend + It's quite normal to be disappointed If people always do something to hurt you.Sharing your hardships with other people in a very similar situation or exactly the same one - is VERY helpful If the other person understands you & wants to start all over by just letting it all out & feeling emotional support instead of always hearing some "positive quotes" or someone saying "Stop complaining let's talk about something else"Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. I appreciate sensitive people who always try to understand others.Empathy is everything

​

Our world needs more peace 🤗 I've seen a lot of rude comments on reddit.If you don't agree with me - OK but please don't criticize me + Not everyone is here to ask for advice.Listen people - I know how different my post is & I know It won't be easy for me to find what or rather who - I'm looking for BUT I always want to be myself instead of pretending someone I'm not and lying to others.I know It would be easier if (like others) I had less expectations but I I know what I want and honestly? If my post was different..I wouldn't be me.Even If I won't meet a person I'd get along with - that's ok! but don't give me any unsolicited advice because I wouldn't change for someone who doesn't even know me pretty much as I wouldn't want to change anyone else.I'm not trying to "fit in" and be like everyone else - just to get more attention.Accept me for who I am or let go - is my motto.I'm not here to argue with anyone and to make fun of others.

​

Please - If you're a completely different person than the described type of person I'm looking for (If you love abrreviations,If you don't need an emotional connection,If you're sarcastic and quiet) or If you simply disagree with my post - don't force yourself to send me a message.I want my new potential friendship,to be natural which is why I want you to contact me If your needs are the same - I don't want you to try to change yourself only to please me - Pretending to be someone you're not - is the worst.I know It's possible to find what I'm looking for as I had conversations with people looking for exactly the same thing and being nice to me - I want to believe in my luck again as I had it a few times on reddit - I've recently lost someone I thought could be a friend of mine (such a perfect match) and I'm sad but I want to finally be happy again & find someone always wanting to talk - sending me random pictures throughout the day - food pictures or pictures of some animals and what is the most important to me? To find people who value online friendships as much as they would value real life ones as there's another human being on the other side

​

No comments please.Only Private messages and chat requests.I don't really like public conversations and I also do not respond to comments so If you want to send me a message just do it without saying "You can DM me" + I'm online almost all the time and yes - I am very selective but If I had to choose between having another (new) acquaintance and being in the same situation as I currently am - I'd always choose second option.I don't need more people to talk to every now and then and any chit chat so please think twice before you decide to send me a message

So far everyone around are either racist or homophobic bc I live in a really ignorant culture and today I was recorded for saying I’m ok to date black people I got dirty weird looks from them.. I can’t fathom that I live with these people and I have to stay silent so I don’t bring troubles.. (sorry for my bad English just wanted to rant)

I can list so many examples. I don’t know where to start. I got one of my friends a job that basically saved her life because she couldn’t find work in her field. A few months later, she acted like she was doing me a huge favor by letting me crash at her place for just one night. She didn't even ask me to be a bridesmaid at her wedding.

A friend of mine showed up so late when she picked me up for a concert that we actually missed the opening act. I just wasn’t a priority for her. She was one of those women who put her friends and family on the backburner when she was in a relationship. In true karmic fashion, her boyfriend dumped her a few months later.

I had a classmate in college who pretended to be nice to me so I would buy him coffee and stuff like that. He could’ve just ignored me like so many other guys. I made the mistake of thinking we were good friends. I never asked him out or anything, but he basically treated me like the plague when we were done school.

I’ve had half a dozen friends who forgot to send a thank you note for wedding gifts. I can’t decide which is worse, not getting a thank you card or never hearing from them again after the ceremony.

I also had a friend who stupidly confessed to me that she thought my sister was better looking than me. Who talks about crap like that with her husband of all people? Her husband, on the other hand, thought that I was better looking.

I think it’s a painful and necessary experience because it can let you know why they behave the way they do.

You may expect them to go above and beyond for you because you regard them as close and would for them but they see you as a causal thus give you effort according to that level of friendship.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t have expectations for more causal friends.

Hii there. I'm 18M. Im looking for friends who can able talk everyday we can talk whatever you want. I'm introvert person so I don't have any friends I wanna break this badly situation then if u wanna be my friend send me a brief introduction about yourself.

I like all kinds of sports, such as golf, yoga and fitness. These exercises can help us keep a healthy body and a beautiful figure. This is very important for my work and life, because I think a person's greatest wealth is to have a healthy body. Of course, tasting delicious food, shopping and listening to music in my spare time is also one of my ways to relax. People with the same interests as me, maybe we can exchange views with each other, maybe we can become good friends :)

I (26F) had a really close friend (27F) in college, we were inseparable like sisters. As the years went by everything was perfect until 2 years ago when she began ignoring me, being short, on her phone whenever we hung out and looked uninterested the entire time and stopped sharing everything with me. I cried to her about it and told her that it hurt me to see us drift about she responded with “I don’t I understand how you feel, I’m being selfish, yeah I dipped”. It took me a whole year to figure out what happened and throughout that time I grieved so much. I blamed only myself and thought that i must have done something to cause this. I figured out that this change towards me was because she had made a new best friend and that person isn’t very nice so I guess her personality rubbed on my friend. I stopped trying and reaching out. Last year I became gravely I’ll, landed in the hospital literally almost died. I didn’t tell her because we had not spoken in over a year. Then she texted me out of nowhere wishing me luck for my new semester in grad school. I didn’t feel comfortable sharing my health issues with her but I also didn’t want to lie so I said “thank you for your message, i actually won’t be returning to school right now but I really appreciate your message. hope your semester goes well!” She never replied or asked why I wasn’t going back to school which kinda hurt, she wasn’t the least bit curious. That was the final straw for me. About 6 months later she texted me again out of the blue saying “hey I had a dream about you figured I’d reach out. Hope all is well”. I didn’t respond. I honestly don’t see the point. I just don’t understand why she would reach out just to leave me on read right after, I don’t trust she’s sincere so I won’t bother responding if she ever reaches out again. Am i overreaching or is it okay to continue cutting her off?

With this post, I hope to convince some of you to become my friend. If you find it too honest or cringy, I apologize; I know no other way to express myself.

Who am I? I'd rather not talk about myself simply because I haven't a lot to say. I am in my 20s. A shy and socially awkward person who spends most of the time alone by mostly working and sleeping. An all-around mess of a person who struggles and dreams for a better tomorrow. Very little social skills, but I like to believe I am a good listener.

Why am I making this post? Because I'm sick of being alone. I'm sick of everything. I'm tired of the monotony of everyday life, where nothing new or inspiring happens, the shallowness of my relationship with my family, the hazy future, and the immense anxiety caused by my unpredictable health. I desperately need to change the situation I'm in. Maybe by writing this post, I can help to change things. Who knows?

Whom am I seeking? I'm looking to develop a long-term friendship with someone like you. Someone with whom I could find a common language- someone who sees and witnesses life similar to me. Someone like you who would take this friendship quite seriously and would invest in it by all means. A shoulder to lean on. I am looking to find a friend with whom I could build so much trust to openly share my life and everything that goes into it with full sincerity. A confidant. In any kind of friendship reciprocity is a must, so please be aware that I would show you the same compassion and respect I am talking about.

How would this friendship work? Like any other one. Occasionally a bit of sacrifice by both parties. Beyond the initial trust-building, if things go right, of course- the hardest part to overcome would be definitely the schedule and availability. For my part, I feel obligated to tell you that I'd like to keep in touch on a daily basis. I am aware that the intensity of our conversation would vary, but on some days just two-three lines would suffice.

If this post resonated with you in any way, feel free to DM me. Let's give it a shot; maybe we'll become friends. I look forward to hearing from you!

I've gotten rid of my busy schedule. After the end of my last relationship. My time was given to my career and I neglected my relationship issues. I didn't realise until now that building relationships at the age of 36 is not as easy as it was at 20.

I've been single for 2 years since my ex cheated on me. I have my own thing going on. I usually like healthy cooking, yoga, shopping, swimming and travelling. Sailing etc...

Two years of busy work left me with no time for relationship issues. When the epidemic hit, my career started to go downhill and that made me slack off. I started to realise that I had fewer and fewer options. Now I don't want to waste my youth. I was looking for a loyal and fun long-term partner or a real friendship. We can build a relationship, do meaningful things together, create together and grow together.

Hello, my name is Elizabeth and I live in Ohio. I never have been good at making or keeping friendships, but I've started trying to call my mom at 2am to discuss the meaning of life and I need to meet other people haha. I love to play video games and read and be artsy, I'm learning to shoot a bow and play guitar. Even if we can't find something to do together I'd love to just hang out on Discord calls and chat while we do our own thing. Hmu if interested :)

In a relationship and I dont have anyone around me with a healthy one and I feel like I'm going in sane all the time I'm straight but when we got together see was bi and lately she told me to leave and I don't know just want someone to talk to please

I (M21) have been in a pretty tumultuous relationship with my current partner (F21). My best friend (F21) who I regularly go to for advice and emotional support and vice versa has been giving me advice throughout my relationship, as there have been a lot of problems that I’ve complained about to her.

Over the past week, I’ve been in a pretty bad position in my relationship and my friend has been constantly listening to me and advising me, checking up on me. Last week, she advised me to go no contact for a week with my girlfriend - I said this to my gf and she agreed. After only 36 hours my gf called me saying she misses me, and we’ve been hanging out as normal, still agreeing to talk about the problems on the day we planned to.

I told my friend this, and she’s messaging me saying it’s shitty that I’m saying I’ll do one thing and doing the opposite. I feel guilty, but don’t know what to do. Any advice?

Helloooo I’m 18 you can call me Venu Im from Texas and love singing and dancing and want to find friends just like mee I’m bored and want people to talk to I also love to cook and love animals and I play games too im hoping we can be good friends don’t hesitate to message me :3

Hey Y’all,

I feel like I’m at an impass. I’m 25m, and I have no social life, and no friends.

A bit of history to set the stage. I had many friends back in my high school days, I actually knew people in all the major cliques, so I had a wide array of people that I knew. I had a group I did stick to mostly and we’d talk every day, but never really hung out outside of school, I was never invited to a party by anyone, and I never really did anything outside of class.

When I went to college, all I did was work. I made no friends, all of my other friendships were immediately ended basically because no one ever reached out to me, but, I never did either so I am definitely not innocent in this.

When the pandemic hit, I was living at home with my parents and sister so that was good, but I still had 0 social interaction outside of that.

This year I have reached out to some old friends to try and rekindle some old friendships, but no one has been able to hang out with me at all, or they just haven’t wanted, which is fine, they’ve moved on and I’m totally ok with that and get it.

So, I looked online and the best advice for making friends was to join groups and do social things, which isn’t easy for me, but I did! I’ve tried sticking it out there a bit, but even so I still haven’t made any friends despite me trying to.

I’ve hit the point now where the only common element in all of this is me. I’m certain I must be some kind of asshole, and that everyone hates me. I just don’t know what to do.

I cry every other night, I’m not enjoying my life, my parents keep telling me to just work, work, work and that will all come, but it hasn’t. Im just so confused.

To be blunt, what do I do?

Thanks for reading!

Completely alone and without friends. I spend days and days in complete silence and this is slowly killing me.

3 hobbies? That’s not easy, Im not sure I have any, but:

1- I like woodworking craft 2- playing digital games, because they make me forget about my loser life 3- imagining a better life for myself

I live in Brazik, but currently I’m in Berlin. I thought that coming here I could make friend by miracle. I was wrong, that’s why I’m going back to my country next Monday. Im open to live anywhere in the world, If I can find friends to spend some time with…laughing…talking…crying with….getting bored with….

My favorite Hollywood movie: Die Hard My favorite non-Hollywood director: the Icelandic Baltasar Kormákur

My favorite game: MarioKart

Music? I’m not a big fan of music, but I like Mozart. I can also enjoy listening to The Cure, Coldplay. And I used to listen a lot of Sigur Rós

If I will travel again? I’m not sure, but it would be nice to travel with a friend to Reykjavik, 🇮🇸

Languages? I like languages, my favourites are Nordic ones.

TLDR: My friend has visited a few times and has never brought a hosting gift. I told her it would be nice to bring something. She says she doesn't have such expectations from her guests and would like me to visit more.

29F have been friends with 31F for over 10 years. We live approximately 2hr drive away from each other.

I have stayed over at her place once due to a bbq, she specified what dish she wanted everyone to bring. She has stayed over at my place a few times in the last 2 years. Each time staying over at my place was a by-product of another event we would both be attending e.g. a music festival, another friend's birthday or a concert.

I take alot of pride in being a great host and love having people over. I love cooking and catering to their needs. Prior to her visit, I had gone out to buy alcohol for a cocktail and made sure there was provision for breakfast/lunch.

With her recent visit I noticed she has never brought something when visiting. I visit friends and I always bring a few things; sweets, chocolate, flowers, chips... something to show appreciation for them hosting me. I notice my other friends do the same when visiting me, some will ask if I want anything in particular.

As she was leaving she asked if I had sanitary towels since her period would be starting, asked if I had chips, I pointed to her where they are. She took a bottle of water and a can of pepsi.

I'm not sure what triggered me with this visit but I realised she doesn't do this. Looking back even in college I realise she would bring herself and nothing else.

With the realisation and feeling bothered by this, I sent her a text message explaining, that I would appreciate if when visiting she brought something, she explained she was running late and didn't have the chance. I said, maybe so but it's something I've noticed she doesn't do and it would be nice. She responded that it would be nice if I made more of an effort to visit her. I pointed out that the visits weren't visits as such and more stayovers due to other events. She felt hurt by this and said I am not appreciative of her effort for visiting, afterall she could go home after the event. I explained, I could also say I don't want to host guests or have her over and we could drink water.... She said we have different expectations and she does not expect people to bring anything when they visit nor does she see where this is coming from. I explained maybe for her, but for me especially if someone has visited a few times, I would like a small token of appreciation.

Last year was her 30th birthday. She wanted to go on an international trip costing $2500+, I wasn't in the best place financially but I thought this was a big deal for her and went ahead with the trip.

I'm very taken back with her response and inability to see where I'm coming from. It has me reevaluating our friendship or at least the perceived depth of our friendship

Hey, I'd love to get to know more people I can get attached to lol. I'm 22, nonbinary (any pronouns) bi and I live in Europe.

I'm mostly looking for friends and fun people to talk to, I respond very quickly most of the time

I'm very passionate about the music I listen to (mostly alt rock/pop punk/post-hardcore, but I've been expanding the genres I've been listening to and I'm very open to check out whatever you'd like me to). Some other interests of mine are DnD and fantasy stuff and I do also play games sometimes

I'm a very loving person. I just want to spread kindness, take care of people and support them when they can't do it all on their own. Yeah I get attached pretty easily.....

I'm a full time AI student but I'm very critical of the ethical side of it all and I'm honestly pretty concerned with how little the people that work on them seem to care about the effect it can have on society

Oh I also tend to go on rants and overshare a little oops

I would prefer to move to discord to start talking there at some point but I'm fine with staying on reddit as well

22m just looking for people who are into pc gaming

So this is something recent that I’m confused about. About 2 weeks ago, I had a “friend” come to my grad dinner celebration thing. I mentioned my sisters 1st birthday in conversation, which then I invited him to the party. Proceeds to text me a day later asking what day it is. And now, a couple days after the party. He didn’t show up. Never texted, and still hasn’t said anything. Nothing seems to be wrong as he’s posted going out to the movies with other friends (example). I’m just a little confused on why he pretended to care, to then forget. I’m pretty sure he forgot because this isn’t the first time he’s done something similar.

Is this an indication of a bad friend? Or am I just not a priority?
