24 M, Need some long term friends

Hey everyone,

Im 24 M, from India, and looking for long term friends.

No, I DO NOT WANT romantic relationships, and Im not looking for one either. Im tired of people underestimating platonic relationships in this world. I dont have the headspace to give that much to a person, so I jsut want friends that I care for and who care for me in return.

I just really, really feel alone in the moment. Its kind of haunting at this point. I was by myself for 6 years, and never had issues and after a good cry session, could always get back to work. Yes, work is all I have in this world right now, and thats honestly why Im even alive.

To all the females out there, Im very well aware of how creepy men can be. I have been going through this sub, and its just gross to read all the scams, and perverts lurking over here. Im not saying this to put myself on a pedestal; I just want to say Im sorry because honestly, female friends, no matter how long the friendhsip lasted, did everything for me. I have never had much luck in male friendships for some reason since I dont enjoy nudity or porn and pretty much dont go to clubs or anything, so im not much fun I guess, but yeah.

If any of this seems like self glazing, please know that its not. I have plenty of flaws myself, and Im by no means perfect. If after reading all this, anyone still wanna be friends with me, I'll be grateful. If not, then I understand.

Oh, and my hobbies include gushing about Avatar the last airbender, Stranger Things, Mentalist, Castle... basically TV Series nerd. Im also an engineer so know a little bit about that side too.

Please keep pushing through. Things will eventually get better :)
