I'm quite a lonely, solitary person who has a bad habit of using the internet (particularly Reddit) to get my social needs met, although they never really are. It sort of serves as a surrogate for human connection in this longer than usual phase of not wanting to pursue it in person. To be clear, I'm just seeking virtual company - at this time, I'm not trying to fall in love, hook up, or meet people irl, etc. Typically short-term is better but I'm open to seeing where things go. I'm on break until the 6th and have been spending a lot of time with my family but am probably headed back to my little 1BR apartment today where I'll realistically spend way too much time in bed on my phone. Lately I feel like a side character no one particular cares about or wants anything to do with outside of familial obligation; it's hard becoming the person I want to be or reclaiming the versions of me I once was. It's dramatic, but I feel like I've lived many lives in various phases of my life and at this point I'm just a boring, unhappy ma/ess. I'm technically doing things to improve that but at a certain point self-improvement is too exhausting and futile, yet I continue to wake up and try to bear through the day(s). I'm not as dreary when you talk to me and brief voice calls are preferred with single guys around my age who are kind, ideally somewhat compatible, and have zero expectations. Bonus points if you can make me smile/laugh, have good taste in music, and a nice voice. Initial messages including age/sex/location and a little about you are most helpful, pics optional (I like seeing pets!) and Reddit chat is preferred at first. I may go see a movie soon but will have a little drive for a quick call and more time after. I've seen 6 movies in the past 4 days and this fill be the 7th, so we can talk about that maybe...
