How often do you speak to friends

Just that really. Talking from a single persons POV, do you speak to friends daily? What's 'normal' or is there just your own normal? I appreciate if you have a SO you probably wouldn't have daily contact, or even weekly contact for that matter, was just wondering what other people do?

If you mean talk on the phone then very rarely but what’s app, multiple times a day with various friends both singly and in groups. Before Covid probably would see different friends once or twice a week - I’m by myself and have DC half the time.

I have 4 friends I am in daily contact either chats, group WhatsApp messages, video calls or going for a walk. We all live within 1/2 mile of each other so easy to do. I see other people on school run etc but those 4 are who I would class as my best friends.
I also have friends who I don't see for months but it's like we have never been apart once we get together

Close friends once or twice a week, mostly messaging and meeting (outdoors, socially distant). Others might be monthly or even less frequently- there for each other when life gives us both the space.

My closest friends, every other day at least on WhatsApp. Other friends maybe once a week or so. Most of them have children but I don't myself. We all make it a priority as we know everyday life can get in the way of you don't make an effort with friends.

On WhatsApp every day I’ll interact with 2-4 friends.
My closest friend I speak with on the phone maybe 4 times a week. They can literally be a couple of mins max.

On WhatsApp, every day. This has only been since the lockdown though, as we started a group. Before that a long time could pass before we talked.

Why would you have less contact if you have a partner?

I've got WhatsApp conversations going with all my friends. With my closest friends, we'll probably be in touch most days even if it's just to share a meme or something. Less often with others. I speak to my best friend on the phone once a week, sometimes twice.

I've also got a few groups going and we'll sometimes have group calls too.
