Looking for friends
Not sure where to start. I am looking for hopefully long time friends on here. I'm 35. Disabled so I have a hard time doing things. I also suffer from depression.
I also get attached easily and hurt easily which I'm working on.
When I'm not as depressed I like playing video games, drawing, watching tv. I do like going out, just prefer to go with friends.
As a friend I always try to be there.
I love animals, especially cats and foster them.
Right now I'm grieving my cat Hopper, and I feel so alone. I also realized I love hugs from people.
I've always been socially awkward, so I'm hoping to improve and even make friends near me down the line. (Not sure where to start near me if you know good places please let me know)
So if you're looking for a friend to chat with let's start. As I said I'm socially awkward so please let me know if I overshare or undershare.
Thank you for your time and hope to make some good friends!
hey, you ok? how are you feeling these days?
I'm feeling better, thank you. Making friends here has helped a lot! How ate you?
I'm mostly fine 😊 what are your interests?
Cats, learning new things, drawing, crafts, video games, swimming, cooking when my back allows. What about you?
I also like cats! They are chill compared to dogs but i have heard of someone accusing them having a not so good attitude and compared them to dogs. I mean, you gotta find a cat that chooses you, you know? when a cat chooses you, it is different!
I also kinda draw I mean I cant really make something from just imagination... I need a reference. With God's help I can copy a reference but like it is not always 1:1 but copying is easier than making something from imagination 😅 i draw anime and draw traditionally. Do you draw digitally or traditionally?
What happened to your back? 🙁 is it genetic that you have back problems? my back used to hurt as a teen that was probably because of my heavy bag but thankfully I do not have to carry it anymore. May your back heal 🙏
I also like learning new things. I am mostly on youtube to be honest 😅 Did you know babies cant have honey? And did you know the Bible did not give the exact date of when Christ was actually born? Also, apparently when someone gets scammed they can be susceptible to other scams like scams that give the "service" to bring back your money/account/etc (which is called "Recovery Scams").
It so is. The cat that chose Mr loves his harness his walks. Loves his cuddle time and belly rubs.
I'm the same, need to see what I'm drawing. I also draw some anime and traditional. I want to try digital, just need to find my drawing tablet lol. Never used it but misplaced it.
Unfortunately I have scoliosis. I wear a back brace when it gets really bad. But back braces weaken the back, which is the last thing I need. I'm hoping new treatments will help down the line.
No I don't know that about babies! I've heard that about people who get scammed. I feel bad for them.
I got a feral cat today, she is supposedly pregnant. Did you know they can still give milk after being spayed? Though she has a long way to go before then. Hope you had a great day!
I’m 40, rebuilding my life from the ground up and I would like to be a friend to you. I would love to chat

@ShellyZz am new here. But your post moved me. Will be more than happy to have you as my friend😍
Thank you 😊Looking forward to getting to know you!
@ShellyZz hey; how are you. i can totally relate to being hurt easily. its been a thread in my life too..
I'm doing better, thank you. I'm sorry you get hurt easily too. It sucks. Feel free to chat with me!
@ShellyZz
Hello how are you feeling today?
@adaptiveGrace2089 Sorry I missed your post, it didn't let me know. I was doing pretty good that day.
@ShellyZz
Happy New Year 😊 I hope you are doing well. Sorry took me so long to reply back. How are you??
@communicativeJet616 Hope you had a great New Year! I'm hoping this year will be better. I'm doing better. Hope you had a good day, I slept bad so took a nap and feel better.
@ShellyZz
I’m really glad to hear you’re doing better. I hope this year turns out to be a good one for you. My day was good, thank you for asking. Sorry you didn’t sleep well, but I’m happy the nap helped. I hope the rest of your day feels calm and easy.
What have you been up to lately?
Do you have any plans or goals for this year?
Is there anything fun or relaxing you’re looking forward to?
@communicativeJet616 I'm glad your day is well, my day so far is going well today. I've been trying to sell stuff from a room that I was calling the storage room. Hopefully it'll go well and I can make it into a bedroom again.
My goal is to start exercising regularly, with my back its hard to keep it up. Looking forward to spring, my favorite weather! I like my temperture around 72F. Going to try to get out more this year. Hope today is going well for you!
@ShellyZz
That sounds like a really good plan. Clearing out a room always feels like a fresh start, and I hope you’re able to turn it back into a bedroom soon. Selling things can be a bit tiring, but it’s nice to see progress little by little.
Exercise with a bad back isn’t easy at all, so even trying counts. Spring at 72F is pretty much perfect weather, I get why you’re excited for it. Getting out more this year sounds like something to look forward to 😊
My day’s been good too, thanks for asking. What kind of exercise are you thinking of starting with?
@communicativeJet616 It does feel nice clearing out the room, I'm hoping to sell the stuff to do some home repairs that I'm not capable of doing.
Exercise is hard, I'll probably see if I can get physical therapy again for aqua, as being in a pool makes it so much easier.
For at home exercise I'll just be starting with light walking, and maybe easy yoga. It would be nice to improve my balance. Hope your day goes well today too!
@ShellyZz
Hey, sorry for the late reply.
I think that was a smart idea, turning the extra stuff into repair money. I hope you were able to clear out more of the room.
Did you went to pool therapy? I agree being in water usually makes movement easier. And starting with light walking and simple yoga sounds a good balance.
How are you feeling now?
Hope your day went well too😊
Hi id like to be friends. I have disability too it's really difficult. I'm very creative and trying to get back until my writing. I'm sorry about your loss. You can talk to me im here 😊
@loveprayemotion I'd love to be friends! I'm trying to get back into some hobbies, that don't require a lot of physical as my back won't stand for it. I do wish I was good at writing. I think I've gotten better. I'd love to be good enough to write articles or short stories.
I'm doing better, can't say his name outloud as my cat Boots freaks out and starts looking for Hopper. Made that mistake yesterday, didn't know he paid so much attention. He was doing all sorts of meows last night. Hope your doing well and looking forward to getting to know you!
@ShellyZz
Sick a brave post, I've found 8 Cups partly for similar reasons, loneliness combined with social awkwardness, that was partially explained by a psychiatrist suggesting I might have ADHD, awaiting testing.
I noticed your post is 3 months or so old, I hope you are in a better place but welcome to chat of it helps.
@RunningMachine Posting this was super hard, as I suffer from social anxiety. I am in a better place now, thank you. But I don't mind having more friends to chat with! So if you still want to chat I'm fine with it. If you do looking forward to chatting with you!
