Project: Find a Friend (Classifieds / Meetup Thread)
in Psychology & Therapy ·
It’s a bit of a stretch to expect real friendships to just click through something this rigid and instant... but honestly, if I could grab a coffee with a decent human being, I’d jump at the chance.
Life hasn't exactly been my friend for years now, which is pretty much why I’ve retreated into my own little bubble. I’ve always taken a different path than the crowd, and finding someone who actually operates on my wavelength feels like winning the lottery... maybe I’m just wired differently, or maybe I’m just hanging out in the wrong circles. 🤷 🙂
I have zero issues accepting people for who they are, but there’s still this craving for something deeper.
And look, even though I’m dealing with my own mess, I’m not looking for an emotional crutch, nor am I going to be high-maintenance with a list of demands. 🙂 I think banter is therapeutic, and so is having real conversations about the heavy stuff. It would be awesome to meet someone who’s navigated their own dark chapters and doesn't try to pretend they didn't happen—someone who isn't superficial, but still wants to move forward or at least make life a little more bearable along the way. 🙂
I'm thinking someone empathetic but grounded; someone with their own life and interests, ideally in their mid-twenties. I’m not hunting for a relationship here, just some mutual understanding, good company, and genuine connection.
I used to browse this forum ages ago, but I was never really the type to post in specific threads or engage in endless back-and-forth messaging. Between staring at screens all day and spending way too much time in my own head, I don't have a ton of bandwidth left. 🙂
So, let's just take the shot. If we vibe as people, great—if not, no big deal. There’s nothing to lose.
