What is your age, and how often do you see your friends?

36. Once or twice a year. That's a struggle to be honest but I do feel jealousy towards those who are very social. I just find it very demanding emotionally.

34. Once a year or so as we live really far away from each other. Although, we do chat a few times a week if not everyday.

25 and probably every 1 to 2 months. Most of my friends have moved away for their masters and I have been too stressed with (online) university to find new ones.
I do however send almost daily voice memos to my friends which is great for staying in the loop and it never feels like we don’t see each other enough.

27 and barely ever. I moved a bit away and had a baby so don’t really see anyone I’m proper close with anymore. Apart from one friend who I can range between seeing every week or 1/2 times a month

29 and it depends. I usually meet friends who live in the same city about once or twice a week, maybe a bit more during school holidays. (Different friends that is, not the same people twice a week.) Some of my good friends are colleagues so I see them every day, and my friends who live further away I try to meet up with once every couple of months. I live by myself so usually put quite a lot of effort into keeping up with people, otherwise I'm at risk of just not speaking to anyone at all for days on end. Among the people I know this is unusual though, most people seem to socialise a lot less than me.
 
29. I had a great group of friends at uni but then moved back up North for work and to be closer to family after graduating from a uni near London. I found it difficult to arrange a time to meet with friends who lived down south when we all had our own lives/work/family situations going on.

32 - maybe a couple of times a month. Sometimes more, I don’t normally go a week or so without seeing a friend. I have different groups of friends though. Some groups I don’t live close too, I see them once a year, if that! It’s difficult when everyone starts having children, peoples lives get busier.

I work full time and I have friends who are on maternity or work part time, it’s hard to find days that suit both sometimes. I can only do weekends, and they often use the weekends for family time with their partner!
 
24 and probably once a month. We all live in different cities now but when we go back to our home city we meet up

Ahh this is so reassuring!
I swear in the social media age, I just have constant FOMO and feeling like I’m abnormal.
I’m a teacher so don’t really have that work/drinks lifestyle most of my office worker uni friends have, even post covid.
I mean I’m hardly friendless. I am in constant contact with people on WhatsApp etc. but face to face I maybe only have one interaction a month with a friend/friend group?
I’m 31 and just find everyone’s so BUSY. I live in an area people were either born into and never left (and have all their close friends already) or move away fairly quickly… so all my close friends from school and uni are spread out all over the country and can’t be just dropped in on.
Thank you for making me feel less strange! I’m trying to be more proactive with meet-ups etc, but without that initial “thing” in common, the friendships are often quite shallow.

I'm 35 and for a proper catch up/day out usually twice a year, last saw them as a group on my bday last september. Bump into them on the street maybe every couple of months including one of my best friends that lives just two minutes walk.
 
26, and once every few months or so. I wish I was, but I’m just not a social creature. Fortunately, neither are my friends, so everyone is happy with this agreement. 😁

45. I have a lot of people I can call warm acquaintances, and a few I can call real friends. I meet up with them every few months, but if they go out with each other and not me, It doesn't bother me because I'm not the most sociable of people.
