35M EU Seeking Consistent Connections with Texting + Voice Notes/Calls

I am a workaholic and have been very busy lately. I recently came back from a mini summer trip and trying to rehab my way back in to productivity.

It is quite lonely at times at this stage of my life. Not only are we in a friendship pandemic but also as an adult making new friends is ridiculously hard. This is why my expectations are low and hence the post seeking connections. The goal is that consistency and chemistry will forge a friendship in time. I am fine with texting, but I type a lot as part of my daily work and hobbies. Thus a more personal touch via occasional (again, consitently) voice messages and periodic calls would be ideal. We could also hop on a call to watch a movie or memes etc.

Caveat: I am not a gamer. Nothing against them but I grew up very bookish. I had my brushes with gaming in my younger years, but the chronically online gamers of today and I have lacked chemistry in the past.

I use discord and snap but prefer the former.

I could tell more about hobbies etc. but I prefer getting to know over somebody through interactions rather than as part of the advertizement.

My timezone is GMT+2. This means people in the British isle or continental EU and I have higher chances of hitting it off, availability-wise, but I am not against forging connections with people from elsehere.

I will respond to effortful messages. Generic oneliners are also welcome because they signal to me the trash is taking itself out.
