I’m looking for a very specific kind of connection right now.

I’m 24, I work/study in healthcare, I’m writing exams soon, I’ve got a lot going on in my personal life, I’m in the middle of a weight-loss journey, and honestly, my mental health has been feeling pretty rough lately. I’m usually quite functional and capable, but I think I’ve reached a point where I’m just… tired of having to hold myself together all the time.

I think what I’m really looking for is an emotional connection with someone I can actually be vulnerable with. Someone I can talk to after a long day and just… unravel a little. Have a minor breakdown. Complain. Overthink. Maybe even completely fall apart for a bit without

I briefly chatted with a guy online and we had good, respectful conversations, but there was some inconsistency in communication (he disappeared for a few days and apologised when he came back). Because of that, I panicked and cut things off abruptly, even though I didn’t necessarily want to.

Yesterday, about a week later, I realised I’d reacted too quickly and reached out again with a casual message and an apology for disappearing. /he responded to the request for help, but I'm still waiting for his response on

I’m a 22F with a very anxious attachment style, and I’ve struggled with limerence since I was 18 - the first time I had a major episode over a person which lasted over a year and a half.

Honestly, I’m exhausted. It’s gotten to the point where I recently cut off someone I’d only been talking to for about two weeks because I could feel the limerence starting to take hold.

We were chatting through long DMs and voice notes, pretty consistently for about ~2 weeks. Then they suddenly disappeared for a few days with no explanation, and the moment the pattern broke, I spiraled. I was constantly checking for replies, overthinking everything, and strategi

Hi everyone!

I’m desperately searching for a Darkling x Alina fanfic where the only plot point I recall is the following, or something similar:

Alina and the Darkling have a child who is tragically killed by Fjerda or Shu Han at a really young age (I think she was a toddler and the apple of his eye), and Aleksander unleashed himself on the world on revenge and retaliation. Alina eventually sacrifices them both to end his bloodlust in the sad ending. It was written quite well and poignantly. I remember reading it on AO3.

If anyone has any idea of what they think the fic could be, please can you post a comment down below. Thank you ✨

Hey! I figured I’d put this out there. I’m looking for a few kind, genuine people to be friends with—someone to talk to now and then, maybe more consistently over time. Just someone who gets it, you know? Life’s been a little overwhelming lately, and while I do struggle to keep convos going sometimes (thank you, overthinking and anxiety 😅), I’d still love a steady, no-pressure friendship.

A little about me:

• I’m 22 years old and a med student
• Muslim + based in South Africa
• MAJOR overthinker with lots of anxiety and a soft heart. I do my best to be a good listener too, though sometimes it takes a little effort for me to open up

Some of my current obsessions & interests:

Hi everyone, I hope you’re having the best festive season with family and friends 🫶

I’m looking for sweet, cute fanfics that could serve as a pick-me-up of sorts — I recently ended a situationship which was a bit heartbreaking and could really use something to keep my spirits lifted.

I don’t mind anything with long, interesting plots or with a bit of mystery. However, please avoid recommending any fics with smut, dead dove do not eat warnings or any overly heavy themes. I know this may rule out a huge chunk of Dramione fics but I would prefer lighthearted fics.

I have read DMATMOOBIL and loved it!

Thank you so much! 🤍

I’m sharing my story here because I’m struggling to process the end of a friendship/situationship of sorts and would appreciate any advice or support.

For context, I come from a culture where dating often has serious intentions, like marriage, and families sometimes play a significant role in the decision-making process. This means relationships can end quickly if things don’t align.

Earlier this year, during a stressful period in my life, I connected with someone online. We lived in the same city, and over time, we began talking daily and developing a close connection. He flirted with me, sent good morning messages, and expressed that he liked me and saw potential for something long-term.

Heya, as a recently self-diagnosed limmie with an anxious attachment, I had a situationship of sorts end yesterday and I wanted to break everything down in a way so I can try to process things.

I'm prefacing this with two qualifiers: I am Muslim, and Indian (immigrant). This means we generally date to marry and potential relationship situations can fizzle out quickly. Please don't view the timeline with a Western lens. Family also often get invovled when choosing a partner because when you marry, you are not marrying only the person - you are also marrying their family. I have omitted a few details here and there for privacy.

Here goes:

In mid-August, I was in the middle of a tough r

Hey, I’m going through a tough time after the end of a situationship of sorts (it really feels like a breakup, doesn’t it?) and could really use someone to talk to. Just looking for a chill, kind conversation—nothing too serious, just someone to connect with and perhaps vent to. I would not be opposed to forming friendships as well as I’m on holiday and have much more free time.

I’m from South Africa, if that matters. Feel free to message me if you’re up for a chat.
