29M Looking for a quiet soul to connect with

Age 26-29

Just a 29M from east coast Australia just trying to get through life one day at a time, am a bed rotting NEET atm.

I’m introverted but social (INFP if that means anything to you) and tend to have a laidback, slightly chaotic but chill energy. I deal with a fair bit of anxiety and fear around change and moving forward in life, so a lot of days feel like I’m just figuring things out, bed rotting and a mind fuck of depressing emotions. Still trying to figure out who I am and accept whatever the hell that means

Tbh most days I don’t really feel like talking much at all. I can be quiet and need a lot of space. But then there are other days where the urge to connect with someone feels really strong and the loneliness is overbearing. So I guess what I’m looking for is someone who understands that kind of rhythm, low pressure, low maintenance, but still meaningful.

Even though I’m an avoidant I’m not looking for a one off conversation or a quick trauma dump. I’d rather find someone where we can slowly build a long-term friendship. Someone to share random thoughts with, vent about life, send music to, or just check in with from time to time.

If you’re someone who feels like they can relate, or maybe in a not so great spot in life or it just feels overbearing sometimes, maybe we could be that small bit of support for each other and share our little moments, wins, defeats, attempts. The kind where on rough days someone can say “you’ve got this” or even just “hey, good job for trying today.” Because to be honest I feel really numb a lot of the times, neglecting myself and some accountability or knowing I’m doing the journey with someone would be nice. I’d say I’m not judgemental and has a good perspective, I mean who am I right

So if any of this resonates with you, please reach out
