How often do you see friends?

[C1239]

I feel I’ve become really rubbish at socialising! Weeks are hectic, get to the weekend and I just want to potter about in the garden and relax with family but as a result I see friends way less than I used to. Still in touch lots but not seeing them every week, sometimes not for a couple of months! Early 40s, am I being slack?! Just find as I get older I am happy with my own company whereas when I was younger I felt I had to fill every minute with something.

Oh god it varies. Mostly every 3-6 months.
Life gets in the way. Alot is going on. That isn't to say we don't care for each other and wonder how each other are doing. We know we are there to call if needed and when we catch up it is like we haven't been away.

Not often but I am in touch with some of them most days via WhatsApp.

They mostly live elsewhere so maybe once a year

I see them most days. But I think it's easier for me as we live on Spain and it's cafe culture so a drink or a coffee after work with friends is normal

It really varies - could see various friends three times in a week or not see any friends for several weeks.
I'm 48, quite introverted and am very happy to potter about. Do enjoy socialising when I make the effort though.
I feel most people are pretty rubbish at organising things whereas I enjoy it so I usually invite people round for lunch, afternoon tea or dinner. I also suggest going out for dinner or a walk. I feel I didn't suggest these things I'd nearly see people!

Not that often really. I'm very happy to see them for a coffee/lunch every so often but not that great at organising things and they all seem so busy in their lives.

Do you mean how regularly do I see each friend? That varies. Some I see 2-3 times a year or less due to distance, others monthly. Or how often do I socialise? I make sure I do at least one social thing a week, it’s normally 2.

It varies but few of my friends live close by. Some once a year, others every couple of months or so. I usually go weeks without seeing any, but just before Easter I saw a lot of people in a short space of time, mainly because I felt sociable and contacted them!

since Covid and going back to work full time.. a lot less. I probably meet up with a few friends each month (different times). But after a long commute a few times a week, having a child and the general life work (house cleaning, washings, ironing, cooking) and chronic migraines I don’t have a massive amount of time or energy

The ones that live close by, I see at least 3 times a week, often more. A couple of them live a bit further away but I still see them at least twice a month. And a couple live in other countries and we see each other once or twice a year. We’re all one friendship group and have a group chat where we message most days.

Every few months. Gets hard between work kids sport and elder parents. I try meet friends more in summer as my job off (school). A few friends fizzled as they got vague/non comittal so I left it.
