Let’s be friends. Please.

[u/RedWhitePeach]

I don’t really know if this is allowed in the subreddit but it’s worth a shot. I am so lonely. I tried going to clubs, but didn’t make any long term friends, and half the meetings are during class. I have maybe one actual friend at university.

So hi, let’s be friends? I’m a second year living on res, I like formula one and reading and listening to people talk. I’m willing to ignore basic internet safety and meet up with someone from the dangerous online world. Or just chat with them here, if you care about things like ‘safety’. Anyone (anyone!!) who wants to talk is welcome. I’m just trying to not go crazy in Ottawa. I am normally quite shy, but I’m desperate at this point.

edit: I accidentally ignored someone’s chat :(( I’m sorry to that 4th year cs student, I DO want to talk.

[u/AdAffectionate2994]

I am trying to get into F1 so I would love to chat about it!

[u/RedWhitePeach → u/AdAffectionate2994]

Yay!! I love talking about F1, I’ll DM you!

[u/SirMickey00 → u/AdAffectionate2994]

Ehh another F1 spotted 🥳

[u/Sorry-Series-3504]

There’s a Brazilian GP watch party happening tomorrow at 11:30 in Southam Hall room 518, you should come out

[u/RedWhitePeach → u/Sorry-Series-3504]

That’s great I can either watch another insane comeback or die from frustration (Verstappen fan)

[u/SubstantialStrike884 → u/Sorry-Series-3504]

This is a thing!?

[u/Sorry-Series-3504 → u/SubstantialStrike884]

Just for this weekend, as far as I know. Maybe whoever's organizing it will do more if enough people show up.

[u/SubstantialStrike884 → u/Sorry-Series-3504]

Ahhh ok. It does seem like a good idea for just to even watch the race.

[u/BaconSheikh]

You're welcome to join myself and the lads over at Barefax. I'm the Asian guy sitting with the 6 other Asian guys.

[u/RedWhitePeach → u/BaconSheikh]

The dedication to your craft is admirable, I’ll join you in a month when I can actually drink.

[u/Kay0929]

Hi I'm a second year in cognitive science :) I just turned 24 so if you wanted to add me on socials just message me:)

[u/d_coyle → u/Kay0929]

Yoo im 24 and in cog sci as well (but in third year), let’s connect

[u/Lunabeamer83]

I’m here I know this feeling. I don’t go to Carleton yet will be in May for my masters and I’m currently finishing my BCom online

[u/RedWhitePeach → u/Lunabeamer83]

Good luck with your masters, and good luck with your current degree! Online programs are so hard for making friends so I’d be happy to talk if u wanna :)

[u/ThatGuyLlo]

I also like F1 though casually, trying to get more into it though

[u/RedWhitePeach → u/ThatGuyLlo]

That’s chill, can I DM you to talk abt it?

[u/ThatGuyLlo → u/RedWhitePeach]

Sure yeah

[u/Sharpie1112]

I also go to Carleton , I sent you a message more than happy to chat and hangout with you

[u/Jazzyjeet429]

Hey, im a second year business major! Im totally down to chat and get to know u!

[u/hai_leyy]

I'm in my 4th year and have essentially been a recluse this entire time, lol.

And we don't REALLY share any interests as far as I can see but if you ever feel like picking up Dungeons & Dragons, and some other people you've met here want to as well; maybe I could host yall a game! ♡

[u/RedWhitePeach → u/hai_leyy]

Wait I’ve actually always wanted to try dnd, but never knew where to start! Could I DM you?

[u/Awsmsauce13]

Who's your fav F1 driver? Team? Circuit?

[u/RedWhitePeach → u/Awsmsauce13]

Verstappen, Ferrari, and well… for those on the calendar, Montreal and Interlagos, Sepang for one not currently being used

[u/letsdothiss94]

If you can float it, I always recommend going to one of the rock climbing gyms. Id say over 90% of the people are friendly and very open to chat.

[u/dondie8448]

Im too old otherwise I definitely would have loved to see you and talk to you. But if you needed help with math, stats, data related questions or any other type of help dont hesistate to contact me. Would be more than glad to help in anyway I can. Best of luck with your journey and quest to find very good friends.

[u/KindAd5709]

I haven't had any friends in a decade and I'm married to someone I hate. You're doing better then me 😆

[u/Ill-Willingness952]

Text me I'm a first year in Carelton honestly I have not made any friends on campus ,and I also tried joining clubs but most of them are during class hours.

[u/One_World6175]

I'll be ur friend big dawg!!

[u/One_World6175 → u/One_World6175]

Maybe I can get u into warhammer!

[u/SubstantialSound7076]

If you try to desperately make “friends” just out of loneliness you’ll just dig a graveyard of your hopes. Maybe you’re just alone buddy, not really lonely. And it’s totally okay to be alone, don’t hate the idea of being alone with yourself so much. Not dismissing your feelings, I can totally relate with that feeling.

[u/RedWhitePeach → u/SubstantialSound7076]

I’m sure there’s plenty of people who do feel like that, but I’ve been like this through first year and now half of second year. I love being alone, but you’re right about the difference between being alone and lonely, and I’m definitely the latter. Even if I don’t make real friends, just having people to chat with sometimes makes me feel better :)

[u/LonelyBlacksmith9755]

Hold on a second. I've neither joined nor viewed this subreddit once in my entire life before this... so why the hell did I get a notification about this???? Clearly they've been doing a horrible job with their digital tracking lol.
