I know I’ve posted here before, I'm still looking to make some like-minded friends. [Also if you've reached out to me before and I haven't replied in a while, please send me another message because my Reddit inbox is an absolute mess].

----------

Hello! I’m a 25 year old Australian living about an hour outside of Melbourne. Since leaving school and university, I've struggled to find friends who share similar interests to me. It would be great to have some people I could chat to about my interests, specifically the ones that don't overlap with my boyfriend's interests (lol).

My top three interests at the moment are reading (mostly fantasy, romance and manga, and I'm active on BookTok), writing stories (I hope to be an author one day and am working on two current fantasy projects) and K-Pop. Now, depending on which of these interests you share, I would love for you to either tell me your favourite book, what your current writing project is about or your favourite K-Pop artist. My favourite book series is the Plated Prisoner series by Raven Kennedy, and my favourite K-Pop artists are Stray Kids, Kingdom, EXO and Seventeen.
Of course, I have other interests as well, such as K-dramas, anime, bullet journaling (haven't done it in ages though), animals, Genshin Impact and I would love to learn about Dungeons and Dragons. If you’re an Australian and follow AFL, I’m also into that, though when it comes to playing actual sports I’m completely useless. If you've read this far, please include the codeword "blue hour" in your message.
Personality-wise, I'm a very loyal and considerate friend, though it can take some time for me to open up around new people due to past experiences I have had. However, I'm hoping to find some friends I would eventually trust and feel comfortable enough to voice call one day, at the least. If you know about MBTI and stuff too, I'm an INFJ.

If you’d read this far, then please know how much I appreciate it! **Please ensure that if you do message me, you know this is purely platonic, friendship interactions that I am searching for and I'm not comfortable meeting in person immediately.** And like I said, if you have messaged me before, please message me again because a lot of messages have gotten lost in my inbox as I was quite overwhelmed the last time I posted here.

Hope to hear from some of you soon, but either way I hope you have a lovely day/evening wherever you are.

P.S. I typically prefer to use Discord after chatting on here initially to get to know each other, but please don't ask for my discord straight away.
