Hey :)

Hey everyone, my name is Riley, male and I’m 23 years old. I’m here mostly because of my loneliness. I’ve had this struggle for about 8 years now. I haven’t had any friends for a long time, I’d say close to a decade, I’ve had no relationship experience either and I can see from posts that a lot of people here can sadly relate. Although, I’d much rather be alone in such issues and have you all be happy. A little about me if you’re interested, I volunteer with a local scouts as a leader to get kids outside more and be more open to connecting with others, plus I love children, I’m a poet, love to bake, avid reader and love hikes/travel, quite the old soul, if you will. I’d love to meet new people and make new connections, as stated above it’s been a struggle for so long and I’ve grown so lonely and tired of it, it needs to change and I have for a long while been putting in the work to change it, but sadly, not much luck so far.

I’m a friendly and kind soul, so if anyone wants to talk please do message. I’d love to hear from you all. :)

    Hey @AnonymousToe and @eylah Im glad it helps you and makes you feel less alone. I wish for the same. Also, thank you, Eylah for the insightful words. If you don't love someone nothing much makes sense, so love yourself instead. ☺️
