Hey everyone, I'm Gothbird. I'm almost 30, based in New Zealand, and lately I've been posting more than lurking so I thought I'd finally drop something here in the friend thread while I'm still around.

I've got degrees in creative writing and art, though most of my time these days is spent online. I love reading, especially anything scifi, gothic, or strange fantasy. I code a little, game a lot, and there's almost always music playing in the background—helps drown out the world a bit.

I live with agoraphobia, fibromyalgia, BPD, MDD, and I'm very autistic. I have a habit of writing long replies—not because I'm trying to lecture, but because I like to be thorough and think things through properly. So, I'd like to think I'm a good listener.

I'm planning to leave sometime in the next few months, so I'm just trying to spend the time I have left doing things that feel real.
If you want someone to talk to, whether it's to vent or just exist next to for a bit, I'd be glad to meet you.

☺️

Hey I'm an artist and a musician, currently working on a webcomic. I've been on Sanctioned since 2023. And I'm honestly pretty odd I guess,
I have a girlfriend and we also date other women together. I have been polyamorous my full adult life, and I mention this respectfully BECAUSE I'm very good at helping people with self esteem issues such as self proclaimed incels.
I believe anyone is capable of finding love and friendship, but admittedly I struggle with making friends because I am hyper focused due to my autism. I also have BPD which I hear is pretty rare in males. I also have C-PTSD.

I'm just looking for someone to help build up.
I have a caregiving personality and I want to see everyone succeed in life regardless if they choose to CTB or not. I think everyone should achieve as close to their ideal self as possible before making any final choice but I respect anyone's individual view on the subject.

I'm honestly waiting for court regarding my children before I decide what to do with my life. They moved it back a couple of times and this time they moved it forward so I should be making plans either way in about a week.

I keep seeing you around. Hiii. I'm new and have been exploring all over. I was going to pm you before but your messages seem off. If you do want to talk - when you click my name/profile you should see an option to send a message.

(An aside: I wonder if it's too unbearably sad to develop even a fleeting friendship with anyone when you know it's for such a finite time? And yet here I also am in my life, not warning anyone I know that I may decide to leave. Makes me feel a little guilty to them. It's a complicated emotion.)

Either way, I wanted to say that you seem absolutely lovely and have been so welcoming and generous with your answers to people. You definitely seem like a creative writer. Being a coder is so impressive to me.

Whether we ever interact again or not, please know that someone has taken notice that you are lovely. You are clever and talented. And I hope you can carry that with you. ❤️

Hey, my DMs are off right now—I broke a rule and honestly, I fully deserve it. Once they're back up, I'll message you both. Really looking forward to connecting.

Hi, I'm transmasc, 30, and in the US. My interests are occultism (definitely looking for people who can relate!!), music, hazbin hotel, and Pokémon. I am actively seeking to die ASAP, and I will do so once I recieve opioids or sn, whichever comes first. But I'd still like to have a friend to discuss things openly and honestly with until then. Age doesn't super matter to me, but I'd prefer that you be over the age of 18 for any gender and not be over the age of 50 if you are male. I don't really care about your politics as long as you're able to at least respect trans people enough to form a genuine connection with them.

Hii! I'm Naomi! I am 28, F ( T mtf) based in Scotland. I am mostly looking for someone to chat to, maybe play video games (I'm on PC) with. My interests include: anime, video games, music and music production although I'm VERY new at that. I have pretty bad social anxiety so it might be a tiny bit awkward at first but the more we talk the faster that will go away. If you're interested PM me. =]

hi, i went through a bad breakup four months ago and i've been quite lonely since. i'm a 21yo male from the netherlands and i like to read, exercise (mostly running) and watch movies. i'm starting uni in september, until then i'm working.

i'm diagnosed with depression and i likely have an ed as well.

i like to think i'm open-minded and relatively easy to talk to :p

couldn't find a way to smoothly add this in but i have a dog as well :)

anyone is free to pm, i'm not too fussed about gender, age or location as long as you can be nice lol

(apologies if this came out as a word salad 😅)

Hi! I'm 32F looking for a friend.

I live with chronic illnesses with no cures and in disabled with chronic pain 24/7. I'm mostly homebound but the few times I'm able to leave the house, I love going on walks in nature (parks, gardens, etc.)

My fave distractions are watching anime, shows, and movies, listening to audiobooks, reading, drinking tea, and playing cozy games on the switch or tablet. I sometimes like coloring nature landscapes and do word searches.

Honestly wish I can have a friend that gets what it is like to live with depression, anxiety, ptsd, chronic illnesses, and suicidality due to chronic pain. O: Maybe Looking for mainly a female or lgbtq friend around their late 20's or 30's.

Hi everyone, I'm Xanni (22NB/F) :] I'm trying my best to step out of my comfort zone and socialize, and I figured people on here would understand me/my situation better. I don't have a lot of people in my life, so I'd like to make a friend(s). I have severe social anxiety and Bipolar 1, along with other things. As of right now, I don't think I will CTB anytime soon, as I want to have a clearer head before I make that decision. Just figured I'd let ya know.

Even though I yap a lot (nervous habit lol), I like to listen to others and I'd be down to talk about anything to anyone regardless of your age and gender, but here are some interests of mine:

I like art (drawing specifically), writing, animals, reading, cartoons, music, and I occasionally play a few Nintendo games :3 We don't have to have similar interests btw. Feel free to send me a DM if you'd like to talk :]
