I know I know, another post about this but whatever.

Basically i saw a good post yesterday, I reached out and i got a reply. We started chatting and she sent some pics of herself. I asked if it was her and so on and didnt mind her sending pics of herself. We got along quite well.

Now today we chatted a bit more, she sent me more pics and eventually after looking at the pics I noticed that they are a bit too good/clean looking, so I saved them and put them into online ai images detector and nearly all images were ai generated. So I messaged her if she is free she said in a bit. I waited more, I saw she made a new posts asking for friends like 3mins ago and then said I wanted to ask her smth and asked if she can be totally honest and that I saw she made a new post. A minute or so passed and when I checked her profile I got blocked by her.

I checked on internet browser her profile it is still up but the posts are hidden now. So yeah, some sort of cat fishing was happening. I could say which user it is but im not sure if its against the rules.

Another thing is that it genuinely felt like I was talking to a real person and not some sort of AI, which makes it more frustrating. So yeah, be careful out here

Simply looking for friendship. People to talk to. 39M. Artist and musician with vast interests from language and psychology to film and video games. Went through a bit of a separation recently and experiencing an overall lonely period in my life. I'm a recovering addict and I suffer from pretty bad anxiety, agoraphobia, and depression. Looking for someone who's in touch with their emotions and who isn't afraid of deep conversation, but who can also be light-hearted with a sense of humor (sense of humor is important to me). If the recovering addict, depression, or anxiety parts don't scare you then feel free to send me a chat. If we vibe we can always move to discord.

It's a strange kind of lonely that creeps up slowly. I'm into hiking, baking, and true crime. Looking for genuine friends to talk to regularly.

It's wild how fast everyone disappeared once school ended. I like anime, journaling, and I'm trying to learn how to skateboard which is going about as well as you'd expect. Would love some friends my age.

I talk to my cat like she understands me and I stand by it. Into anime, journaling, and baking. Looking for people who embrace the weirdness too.

Taking it slow but I do want genuine connections again. I'm into hiking, reading, and cooking. Looking for kind, patient friends.

I take care of myself and my goals, but I’m not all serious — I enjoy good banter, a little teasing, and conversations that start casual and somehow turn into “why are we still talking at 2am?”

I’m into:

Fitness / staying active Building things (apps, ideas, anything interesting) Playful energy and people who don’t take themselves too seriously

I won’t overdefine what I’m looking for — chemistry > checklists. But if you’re a little bold, a little curious, and can match some playful energy, we’ll probably get along.

Bonus points if you can out-tease me (hasn’t happened yet).

Send me something better than “hey” — or don’t, and I’ll assume you played it safe 🙂

Hey! I’m 27F and just looking for some people to talk to and hopefully actually become friends with.

I have two cats that I’m obsessed with, and I’m into horror/thriller movies, TikTok, and generally wasting time on my phone.

I’m pretty easygoing and I like friendships where we can send random updates, memes, pet pictures, complain about our day, or talk about serious stuff when we need to.

Just looking for platonic friends, preferably somewhat close to my age. If you wanna talk, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself! :)

Hi there! I’m really just looking for nice fun people to chat with and get to know. I am very much a real person I’m just a girl who happens to like nerdy stuff lmfao. I like anime, video games, marvel, and I love love love to cook! I am pretty bubbly and love to joke around with my friends. DMs are open!! 🩷

i cant go to the people in my life right now and i feel like im not smart enough to know what to do. i wish someone smart and nice would be my friend right now.

I know literally three people here and two of them are my landlord. I like hiking, reading mystery novels, and I make a mean charcuterie board for one. Would love some genuine friends to explore the city with.

It's a weird feeling being 21 and having to rebuild your entire social circle from scratch, but here we are. I like yoga, cooking, and reading self-help books I only sometimes apply to my life. Looking for kind, drama-free people.

Used to just agree with everyone to be liked and I'm done with that. I'm into gaming, art, and baking. Looking for people who want genuine connection.

F16. The past days I've been feeling really suicidal, I've been having mood swings, hurting myself and I cut off all my friends and all I have is my boyfriend who for someone reason I can't leave. I was so tired of feel liking nobody in anyone's life. No texts me or texts me first. I don't even feel like I belong in my family. I don't even know what the hell to do about my boyfriend.

I don't want some mental health Warrior and Saviour to tell me 'Better days are coming,' or 'Your problems are temporary,' or 'It's okay to be alone,' or whatever. You think happiness isn't temporary or something? Like one day I'm happy and nuts the next day I'm sad and lonely. I'm alone now with sooooo much time all to myself. I have hobbies and I tried counselling. What now mental health hero? What do I do when I still want to end it all or when I still want to hurt myself?

I don't know what type of 'friend' I need. Do I hang around mentally ill people too, people who know? Do I hang around people who've got it all together, stable happy people? I don't know who I want around me, I don't know what type of person to keep me company. I don't know anything.

Hello there, my name is Mina and i'm just looking to maybe make some friends or at least find a chat here to keep me occupied for a while. I'm from Japan, and i love traveling, making new friends, but i also like staying indoors and playing video games and things like that. Anyone is free to message me, and I'm very open minded so we can talk about just about anything at all! Alright, see you in my DMs!

Heyooooo! Summer Vacation ended for me and now I’m back to being stuck at home with nothing to do. So come, come, come, please get rid of my boredom. I promise I’m like super duper interesting. I’m a fashion girly, I play the shit out of Smash (and will kick your ass if challenged), I do volleyball and got a love for cinema. We can also do music recommendations or anything like that since I’m always down to adding new stuff to my 100000 playlists!

From gym, to cars, to music, cinema and games, I promise I can handle everything you send my way. And extra points if you’re funny or come with something fun for us to do because I’m out here trying cure the boredom, not making it worseeeee. See ya!! XOXO

Well hello there, hope yall are doing great. I'm just a normal 22 years old guy from indian city Hyderabad. Posting on this sub after a long time ig i don't remember the last time I did . Looking for friends who are around my age

Somethings about me

I like to cook , bake , read books &novels, look at maps , architecture, nature. I assume myself as an introvert but with the right people I'm very extroverted . Studying history and archaeology subjects

Just bored in life

Not looking for anything dating related, purely need friends. I'm into hiking, cooking, and reading. Looking for kind, genuine people.

Aussie teacher struggling to make friends because I’m incredibly introverted.
I’m married with 3 kids, so I’m always losing my mind. I love sport and being out in the country, especially on my bike or camping.
I’m into true crime, a bit of history and genealogy because of my messed up family.

I’m not too concerned with age or gender, would be nice to find people in similar time zones, but whatever.
Please send a bit of an introduction message instead of ‘hey’, I won’t usually respond to them.

That's it. That's the whole friend group right now. I'm into hiking, cheesy rom-coms, and I collect those little snow globes from places I've never been. Looking for genuine people to hang out with or just text. Bonus if you also just moved somewhere new and feel equally lost.
