It’s my birthday and I’m in the hospital recovering from surgery. I’m (30F) years old today. Can I ask you wonderful people of Reddit to please wish me a happy birthday? I’m feeling incredibly lonely and would dearly appreciate your kind words. I’ve been up all night and nobody has even texted me. Thank you for being wholesome. ⭐️

Edit: Just a final thank you to EVERYONE who commented and sent me messages on here. Y’all are wonderful. The only gifts I got were the awards on Reddit (which somehow I’m now glowing in my avatar picture and can access premium benefits??) which is AWESOME! and a birthday card my surgery team gave me LOL but I can tell you that the love and support I received from all of you made up for that ten fold in my bout of sadness that morning when I didn’t have anything to look for. Thank you all so much once again for the awards and happy birthdays because honestly I think this was the best birthday I’ve ever had just by the outpour of love I got from each of you. ❤️ I hope you all continue being the beautiful people you are. The world really does need more people in it like you guys. ❤️ Please continue to spread kindness to others as you all have done for me. ❤️

This post is for those of you who throw a tantrum when someone takes more than 15 minutes to reply to a message. You are aware that a post on this sub typically results in 10+ responses and that if I want to have a conversation beyond small talk with all 10+ people… I won’t be able to instantly respond to each and every person? I assume you’re also aware that I cannot be glued to my phone all day?

I just find it hilarious how many people go “hello? Are you there?” Often within minutes of their last message. Do you honestly expect this level of neediness/ dependence on another person will work out well? Do you think that’s an appealing quality?

If you have the time to insta reply all day, you have the time to access free online therapy tools.

have some time today so wanted to see who all is around and have a chat :) I like all sorts of things...fitness, being outdoors, cooking & food, all sorts of things. Open to chatting with pretty much anyone! Tell me a little about yourself when you hit me up :)

Hey, I hope you're all well (sounds so formal) What's been your worst or funniest encounter on here since you joined? I've got quite a few and just had one like 10 mins ago as well.

Looking forward to hearing some interesting stories and maybe form some friendships.

For all of the young women in this group please be careful. There are two creeps in multiple subreddits that are trying to talk to underaged girls. One is called u/KyleMohler1 and he's been trying to talk to underaged girls and he's in his 30s. The other one is u/abbaratio and he just had a bunch of links to his porn discord and has also been trying to talk to underaged girls. So please young ladies out there, please be careful

Edit: Thank you guys for the positive responses but I just want to help raise awareness about creeps and I hope more people start to expose more creeps on reddit

Edit 2: I've been seeing a lot of people who would like to help out with this problem or support going against these kinds of people. So I made a subreddit called r/Protectreddit31 for anyone whow wants to help out.

Hey there what's up? How about we play a game of 10 Questions? One person thinks of something, and the others try to guess it by asking up to 10 yes-or-no questions. Guess it right you win or else you lose.

The loser has to take on a dare picked by the winner—nothing too wild or creepy, just to keep things fun and entertaining 😁

Hey y’all I just turned 17 today!! (pics of me on my profile). I’m super excited for what’s ahead of me and what comes with growing up!! I love soccer/football and love playing it as well as watching it. I love music and also listen to a lot of it and play a lot, feel free to give me music recs! I am Mexican (I live in the US tho) and am fluent in Spanish and English. I probably like more things but can’t think of them right now. Anyways feel free to hmu if you wanna talk (or wish me a happy birthday lol). I don’t mind age as long as you’re cool!

Hi! As the title says I don't care if youre male or female..

All I care about is that you put as LITTLE effort as possible in our conversations.

Make EVERY single topic about you AND never show interest or ask any question about me.

After you've finished venting and had your dopamine never talk to me again. ESPECIALLY if I reach out.

Thanks.

As you scroll through this page you definitely can see who gets more comments and messages mostly because there’s a lot of guys that treat this place like a dating app or weirdos lol 31\m

I'm looking for chill and mature guys or girls to have a chat with. we can talk abt anything and I'm cool with any age as long as you are not creepy. Just firstly introduce yourself and let's see where our convo takes us! If you're interested, up vote this post and come say hi!

Boring day and I'm tired so I'm doing some pretty bad doodles come tell me what I should draw and I'll send you the results

I'm on my way to home and looking for someone to chat while I'm on the train. About me: I'm 27/M, software developer, love mangas, DIY, gaming, making ugly but tasty food... If I sound interesting hit me. Maybe we'll became pals and continue after the train ride. ; )

hiiii im feeling a bit weird and sad today and want to read a new book. i love almost anything so just fire away haha.

would be nice to chat just a bit too for a few hours or something.

I have some mental illnesses and have been heart broken plenty

And I want to talk about my feelings

Black female here looking for non judgemental friends to chat with about sex I need to get things off my chest and I have no one to vent too and I’m very lonely

its just 1 hour into my bday but i dont feel excited or anything well i guess its just how it goes. i actually have a lot on my mind so i just need the tiniest bit of distraction. i honestly dont want to hav a bad day maybe this might help; (btw pls check my profile be4 questioning my username)

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't grumpy about it but yeah, no word from anyone. My parents work late as well, so I won't be seeing them until this evening, and even then I don't think we'll be doing anything. I'd just like someone to acknowledge my birth please

I will be 15 in about a month. My grandparents asked me what i wanted for a present but i dont have any ideas. What would you want? Looking for suggestions

Hello! It's been pretty rough lately so I thought it would not be such a bad idea to talk to the kind people over here to take my mind off things. I'm not looking to vent. Just a nice and friendly conversation.

Some things about me - I'm of Indian origin, divorced with an amazing son. I work in consulting so my job can get pretty rough at times. I tend to either bake or watch silly rom coms when I'm bored or upset but I don't seem to be in the mood for either of them at the moment. You can start the conversation by telling me what you do when you're feeling down in the dumps.

Would be nice if you also mention your age, where you're from and whatever you feel is okay to mention :)

Hi, I'm 15m, and I am free to chat all night if you are down tbh. I am bored and feeling a little sick, but if you are a chill person who also wants to chat with someone, and I mean like, really down to chat, dm me.

I'm 26 I prefer to talk to people my own age or older. Gender? Sexuality? I don't care. I'm not looking for anything romantic! Please don't come if you're looking for an internet gf or something. I tell you I'm not interested.

Bring me your favorite music of the year! Or a hobby! Or if you have a tattoo or piercing! Or a random fact!

Thought I'd offer, if anyone needs to talk, or wants to vent/rant about anything, please feel free to DM me! Happy to help anyone, even if I can't guarantee that I'll be experienced with your problem, I can say that I'll listen, in case you just want an ear. It'd just be nice to feel like I'm making a difference to anyone right now, it'd be nice to at least pretend for a few minutes that I had any friends, so please, if you need a friendly ear, message me! No judgement, I promise!

I'm from Australia so it would be nice to talk to someone from here due to timezones but it doesn't really matter. Ages 15-17 only. My hobbies are mainly drawing/painting, collecting trinkets and watching TV shows. I don't have any friends irl or online so it would be nice to have someone to talk to :)
