Do you talk to your friends every day?

[mummabear1967]

Even your closest friends, when you don’t see them in person, do you text/call them every single day?

Just wondering what the norm is. I sometimes go weeks without communicating with some friends even over text messages / social media.

No, I don’t have any friends in contact that often. Weeks/months is more normal imo.

I have one very close friend and we message each other most days. My other friends it is much less often, generally every couple of weeks or sometimes more.

No, I don't have any close friends, just acquaintances that I loosely keep in touch with mostly via FB. But I'll go for years without having direct contact with any of them. I'd find it stifling to be contacted every day.

Not every day. I probably exchange a text with someone most days but not necessarily the same friend. I speak to my closest friend in this area at least once a week, often more, but we’re both busy so there’ll be gaps sometimes. I only speak to one of my uni friends every few months, but when we do, it’s as if we were together last week. We can talk for England. 😄

Close friends I text most days, we have an ongoing what’s app conversation that is just general chat. Phone calls only usually if organising something or something to discuss. Meet up for a weekend about once a month,

Nope, just when needed, or now and then for a rant lol! They have their own lives, I have mine.

Wonder why you ask OP? I think your approach is quite the norm for most.

I've 3 friends that I speak to most days/ at least weekly (via WhatsApp or calls). Some of my other friends I may only speak to 4 times a year.

No, I am the same as you, mainly because I get anxious about phoning people in case I disturb them, and with text messages the longer you leave it the weirder it is to send something random, you feel you need a proper reason. Communication has stepped up a bit over lockdown though which is nice. I think small WhatsApp groups are good because you can send a message without feeling people are pressured to respond (because it is not just aimed at them), and it can be a bit more random than if you were sending it to one specific person, who might think "why are you telling me, in particular, that?"

I have 3 close friends who I speak to everyday via WhatsApp. I've know them all since we were children so are very close.

The only people I speak to everyday are DH, and a lady I dog-walk for.

My friends, it can be anywhere from 2-3 times a week to every couple of months or less. I'd find it quite claustrophobic to be in constant contact with my friends, tbh.

No. I had a friend who expected long chats every day and it killed the friendship as it was just so clingy:
