27M Would love to make some new gaming buddies!

27M Looking for lifelong friends and gaming buddies!

Hey all! I am back at it again, I am looking to shake it up a bit and get out of my social bubble boundary. I am an introvert, INFP if you're into the Personality test. I am an avid gamer, currently playing a lot of WoW getting ready for the new expansion, and DbD currently, but I have tons of games. I am a music head and love all types of music from 70's Country to modern Death Metal, send me your playlists and song recommendations! In my free time you may catch me learning guitar or working on my physical health, I also am having an urge to get into a more arts and crafts hobby, if you have experience I’d love to hear about it. I do eventually want to take conversations off of Reddit onto Discord as I’m far more active there, but I want to make sure we click first.

Some requirements I would like to be met because of past interactions on these types of posts. If they are not, I will ignore the message. Sorry just had way too many people reach out before that things fizzled out quickly due to the following reasons.

Please be above 18

Please be atleast willing to put more into a greeting more than "hey, what's up" I want to have actual friendship building conversations, not small talk.

Be real about your expectations, if you are wanting to just pass a bit of time and move on with your life, that is perfectly fine. But I am looking for lifelong friends, so I will most likely ignore or disengage from chats that give off that vibe (this one is mainly due to people saying they are looking for friends, but then just ghost after 2 hours)

Understand that I am pretty introverted and this is my attempt at breaking out of that mold. I may go hours or days without responding because I get easily socially overwhelmed when talking to new people. Nothing against anyone personally, I swear. I get over that pretty quickly if we hit things off though!

Please tell me a bit about yourself when you message so we have conversation topics at the start

I would like to keep this completely platonic and generally speaking Safe for Work. Love a good joke, but some people be wildin out on these streets! Which is completely fine, you do you, but don't talk to me about it lol

If any of our interests align, please feel free to reach out! Talk to you soon. Will happily share discord username in dms!
