Hello! I'm a 27 almost 28 year old guy from the USA (it doesn't matter where you're from by the way, message me even if you live on the moon!) and i want to make some best friends since being lonely stinks. I have like two or three people that i actively talk to haha and they are my parents/family members, Im almost 28 years old and I don’t really have any friends outside of my parents/family, I live with my parents. Im quite shy and introverted and have always struggled to make friends. I am far too aware that the majority of the people that I have cared about in the past have had little regard for my feelings. I have a awesome family that loves me haha but I really want some friends that aren’t my family. I just really want to make some genuine connections and have a best friends to talk to.

I’m very talkative! I love talking about anything at all, unless it's really weird stuff then maybe perhaps not. I love poetry, I do poetry as a hobby but thanks to depression/anxiety I have (in the past) lost all my motivation to write poems, so finishing a single poem without getting impatient and deleting it prematurely takes a lot of effort sometimes. I can still try writing you a silly funny poem tho if you want. For example i'll write you a funny poem that will make you laugh, for your birthday. :)

Focusing on self growth has been huge for me recently so if you’re on a similar journey I would love to hear from you. Part of this process has meant I’ve taken up learning a few musical instruments and practicing meditating.

Also, I need music recommendations so we can totally make awesome playlists for each other. I love to draw (it’s a newish hobby and I’m not great at it), maybe I can draw a goofy picture of you. Or maybe I’ll make a statue of you on Minecraft! Lol. :) :)

I really enjoy cooking, baking, cake decorating and trying new recipes.

I have a lot of interests, a few unique ones but i'll leave them for you to discover, meanwhile i'll just list the common ones here. I love video games, I usually just play Nintendo stuff but sometimes I play some other games too. I love Don't Starve Together, i've been playing some The Sims Games recently. I also love Fallout and several other games! I love watching stuff, from movies to shows to whatever on Reddit haha ahhh so much to list. My favorite movies are Ponyo, Your Name, and Cast Away. My favorite animes are Parasyte, Code Geass, Fruits Basket, DeathNote. My favorite shows are The Good Place, Black Mirror and Malcolm In The Middle. My favorite color is green! There's a funny story behind that, if you wanna know, just ask me. My favorite music genres are indie and k pop haha but I listen to all genres. I love music so much!

&amp;#x200B;

I love helping people, i love supporting people emotionally and I'd do anything that im capable of to emotionally support/help someone out if im able. :)

I guess this part is going to get sad and i understand that a lot of people don't like that, so you can just skip this section if you want. I suffer from a lot of mental issues, for example pretty intense anxiety/depression that super messes with me  a lot. It's very hard to even go outside sometimes, I suffer from OCD, and i absolutely hate when people say that OCD = just being “really clean and tidy”. It's way more than that. I know this is gonna sound cliche but I just feel like a lot of people don't understand me or mentalillness at all sometimes. I have always felt somewhat like an alien and i've always been a outcast kinda. Even when surrounded by other outcasts! If you suffer from any issues at all, i'll try my best to help you out. Chances are i know how it feels. Im not looking for you to fix all of my issues but :) im looking for a supportive friend that is kind.

&amp;#x200B;

I guess that's enough about me! Now i'll talk a bit about my ideal friend. I'd want to be best friends with somebody(s). I've always been just another "choice" for everyone, they always have their own best friends and i'm always just "the dude they hang out with when nobody else is around". I want to feel cared for, i want people to support me emotionally and check up on me if they see that i feel down. I want to focus on one (max, Three) person(s) and i'd like it if you focused on me too. The only requirement for you to message me is: be in the 21-35 age range. :) Your gender doesn’t matter to me, I will be friends with you regardless of your gender!
