Young Adults, How Frequent Do You See Your Friends?

Juggling between Work, Family, Rest, and Traffic, seeing my friends once every two months is already good.

I’m just curious if there are others who actually see their friends at least once a week. How do you do it?

    I’m 28 and I see my let’s say best friend around 3-4 times a year, another one lives abroad, same frequency. There are a few friends I got through my girlfriend, we are seeming them more, once a month at least.

    I am sad that there a few friends I lost contact with, mostly because we are lazy to get in contact and meet.

    26 here and none of my friends live in the same city as me. My best mate and his partner are about a 2 hour drive from us. We play games online a lot though, but we don’t see each other in person very often anymore, maybe every few months.

    My partner has a lot of friends in town so we go out with them every now and then; maybe monthly.

    I also have a dnd group with my college friends and we play online about every week but they all live across the country so I only see them in person maybe once a year.

    Not exactly young adult but I’m 35 and see friends almost weekly. If not in person I at least chat/voice chat with some of them.

    I don’t have kids, currently dating someone with 2 boys though. I don’t take any overtime at work but I have online classes at night so I plan on dropping my hours by half. Also, I don’t bring any work home with me. I separate the 2, religiously. (I am unionized, makes it easier to do so)

    I live in a small city, far from any metropolitan area, people are so much more friendlier here.

    IMO, it’s all about hobbies. My hobbies align with most of my friends and I have more than one circle of friends.

    I moved over 20 times in my life, different cities and all. So I know how to make new friends, I honestly think it’s a skill. At the same time, friendship goes both ways, if you’re the only one putting the work on the friendship, it’s not really gonna work.

    I have friends working on their PhDs and even post-PhDs (or whatever it’s called) and they usually have time to see me / friends 3 or 4 times a month.

    So yeah, I have a fulfilling social life, it’s not like that all year round mind you, things change and people need breaks and what not sometimes.

    Mid twenties here, and it’s just my girlfriend, me, and her dog. I talk to my family sometimes, and hers, but that’s about it. Her friends and us are trying to get a D&D group going, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯ between life and work, it’s hard to find the time.

    I am 24 and I see my friends at least once or twice a week. Its a group of around 10-20 people that hangs out together whenever we have time. My house is very much set up for entertaining and people are welcome to come over any Friday or Saturday.

    It all depends on who is busy, I won’t necessarily see any one person every week or every month, but I will see some of them.

    I talk to them weekly at worst- I play dnd with them every Sunday, but we play online.

    Actually physically seeing them in person? Maybe once a month.
