How often do you socialise with friends in a week?

[Lostbhoy]

I keep my friends in the basement.
So i never loose 'em.
I really love my friends.
That's why i keep 'em in the basement.

The older I get the less i see friends. I see people i know doing hobbies, but not friends. I guess my family became my friends (Wife etc)

This is very true.

What does socializing mean?

I socialize by playing online with my friends at least once a week.

Sickening cheesy obligatory "my spouse is my best friend so all the time" response

All my friends are best friends (including my wife), otherwise they would be just people I know.

I don't have much friends because autism makes it difficult for me to make them. But 6 or 7x a month I go to meetings for autistic people to socialize. There we talk with each other or play some board/card games. Sometimes we do a video game, karaoke, have a dinner or go to the bowling.

All the time; I'm an extrovert. There's a way to enjoy oneself even when busy with 22+ hours of work daily. You just get very efficient at what you do.

It's gotten easier for me to do as time moves on. And I get more energy to work with as well with time moving ahead.

Some people at work were floored and beside themselves that I've gotten younger over the years; they called my teenage self decades ago on video an "old man" by comparison to how I look now. "I'm seeing it but I don't believe it. There's no way."

It doesn't matter how efficient you are, 22 hours is 22 hours. How do you get any sleep?

I mean after a certain age it's hard making new friends anyway.

Friends forever. Fien.

Family > Friends

Family is Family.

Friends can become family too.

Protip: throw chunks of new friend down to feed the old friends.

Kind of a neat thing to discuss, but basically, you get used to it. It's like exercise; I can't just jump from white belt training to black-belt bare-knuckling concrete without breaking the skin in a day; you have to build up to it. I started with nine hours and built it up.

Suprisingly, I was very happy with that schedule becuse the busier I was, the less time I had to fret about anything. So it actually improved my mental health and made it skyrocket. The income was certainly helping as well - working two full time jobs and several part time ones.

Case in point that I just got two major forms of payment done in a day and I am just now eating breakfast several hours past noon, but I sure didn't have time to worry or feel upset over anything, so now I'm happy.

These are salteñas cooked by my family. One of my favorite dishes. (In our culture, working large amounts of hours is very standard).

That's not true! Discord said I'm an AI.

0 these days. Online games used to be my socialising, it was good times, often for hours and far later than we should have. They had a kid, and that was that, understandable, but the games nights are gone. Still regularly talk to them, but I don't know if that counts.

[The Catboy]

Not often enough because most of them live way too far away

Correction, turns out I do have friends that I play MTG with twice every week, lol

 

[VinsCool]

IRL, pretty much 0 in part for my personal life became a trainwreck at the end of 2019 and the other part being that the remainder of friends/family I had nearby became completely insufferable to the point I ghosted them for my own sanity and moved on.

Online, ironically also 0 because the trainwreck of my personal life consumes all of my awake time, so unless I just happen to be online at the right place at the right time to have a conversation in between trainwreck recollection chores I pretty much drop the sliver of my precious free time getting sleep deprived while I can manage to spend some of it into some of my hobbies, or the most likely outcome being lying down watching youtube until I fall asleep, then rinse and repeat for the next day.

0/7 days a week. I see most of my friends at conventions in Portland.

 

[DinohScene]

I meant like in person. Like going to pubs, bars, cinema or what ever. But, it seems GBAtemp members don't even leave the basement.

I'll be seeing you in February mate.

Idk, got a few people I socialise a lot with, others just swing by whenever.
Don't have much time really, a good wife stays by their husband I guess?

Have someone here also noticed all the videos on social media mostly tiktok
About someone talking about being alone and having no friends, can make you a superior human
in a good way
Not that humans isn't superior, but by loneliness, being a way to make you tougher and have a bigger
understanding on how life really works

But yes i have only 2 friends 3 if you count my sister

I understand what you mean. But at the same time. Humans are social creatures, but being lonely for a very long time can deteriorate your mental health.

I recommend people try to socialise a bit from time to time. The rewards out weigh the risk.

That means I would have to bathe, and leave my parents basement, ugh, maybe, I'll think about it. What's your address?
