20M (UK) - looking for long-term friends who stick around

Hey, 20M here, UK timezone (GMT/BST) and yes i know it's late currently but not my fault that i can't sleep at all, last time i made a post though i made a few good friends and want to try again. so i'd say i'm a chill guy overall - a bit shy/quiet when starting out, but sarcastic once we're comfortable. I reply consistently if the convo clicks, and I'm really after long-term online friends (no ghosting after a couple messages, please, been there quite a few times).

Stuff I love talking about:

• Gaming, like marvel rivals, minecraft, outlast trials and a few others i can't think of right now also especially Resident Evil (it's hard to decide which is the best, but the whole franchise is too amazing - remakes, originals, lore, scary moments).

• Shows/movies/anime- i've watched quite lot of stuff and to list a few i'd say dexter, the walking dead, game of thrones and the boys, i'm still open to watch anything so recommend me anything!

Horror, thrillers, comedy, anime, whatever's got you hooked lately - I'll watch and we can discuss, i love horror the most though

• Cats (even though i don't have cats, my friend has a cat and i love it so i'd say cat person, if you've got stories, pics, or just love ranting about them, I'm 100% in. Dogs are fine, but cats are just better).

i'm open to any platform: start on Reddit chat, move to Discord/Snap/whatever feels easy. Just looking for real, ongoing chats

- memes, deep talks, game rants, pet updates, whatever.

If that sounds good, DM me, no pressure for long replies, just genuine people who actually keep talking. p.s since you actually read this far i'm also i'm south asian
