    I’d say 1 or 2 times a week. Sometimes a lot more, sometimes a little less.

    That said… My closest friends, the ones that I share the most common interests and hobbies with… I barely see at all. I try to coordinate to see them monthly, but sometimes it’s less. One has kids, the other has health problems.

    The friends I hang out with the most, we have less in common, but we all get along well, and have some core interests and hobbies in common that I don’t actually have in common with my closest friends.

    The two groups of friends are cordial with each other, but neither of them are as close with each other as I am with them separately. It’s interesting. I guess I have a diverse set of hobbies and friends.

    I have other friends mixed in there too that I only see sporadically, that don’t belong to either group. I struggle to make time for them every few months, usually at least a couple times a year, even though we live close by.

    I’m glad I have friends, and it’s good to be active and social. But I’m also a bit of an introvert, so some weeks I really just wanna stay home alone and veg. Many nights I do. But most times, if I get an invite to go do something/hang out, I take it. I’m really bad at planning things or inviting people over though, ironically. So I feel like I’ve lost friends over the years from not reaching out enough.
