Looking for meaningful friendship

​

I'm going to give Reddit a shot because apparently this is where we're at now. 😂 I'm looking for a genuine, long-term platonic friendship with someone who actually wants to get to know each other rather than exchanging five messages and disappearing into the void.

I'm someone who really values deep connection. I want a friend who remembers the little things I tell them, pays attention, checks in because they genuinely care, and makes me feel like I'm actually known rather than just another username in their inbox. You don't need a photographic memory or anything ridiculous like that. If you have one, awesome, but honestly, I'll take someone who just cares enough to remember what matters to me. 😂

I'm also affectionate and nurturing with the people I care about, so I'd love a friendship where that goes both ways. I'm talking about the kind of friendship where you can randomly ask, “Did you eat?” or “Did you make it home okay?” or send a ridiculous good-night message because you felt like it. I really like that kind of everyday closeness.

One thing that's especially important to me is how we handle conflict. I'm not expecting a friendship where we never disagree or hurt each other's feelings. We're human. Things are going to happen. What matters to me is being able to actually talk about those things. I'd much rather have someone tell me, “Hey, that hurt me,” or “I need some space right now,” and then come back and talk about it than have one bad disagreement suddenly mean the entire friendship is over. I believe friendships can be repaired when both people genuinely want to repair them.

I want somebody who actually puts time and energy into the friendship, because I'm willing to do the same. I don't want something where one person is constantly chasing the other. I want both of us to eventually get to the point where something completely random happens during the day and our immediate thought is, “Oh my God, I have to tell them this.”

A little about me: I'm a writer, I love stories, fantasy and science fiction, and I get way too invested in fictional characters. 😂 I play D&D with my family, and my current character Artemis somehow ended up with Mjolnir as one of her weapons, complete with lightning powers, and a Build-A-Bear named Rip that was literally given to her during the campaign. So apparently my life is just ridiculous now.

I'm blind and use TalkBack on Android, so I'd also love someone who's comfortable communicating with a blind person and isn't going to treat my blindness like some bizarre unsolvable mystery. 😂

I'm not expecting instant best-friend status. I'd rather start talking, see if we click, learn about each other, and let the friendship develop naturally.

If you're also looking for a friendship where both people actually show up, pay attention, care, communicate, and want something that can last, tell me a little about yourself. I'd genuinely love to hear from you.
