Current Events > How active is your social life? Do you feel good or bad about it?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Do you have many friends? Do you have one big social circle, or multiple small social circles? Do your friends invite you out much? Do you get on well with your friends? Do they cause you serious problems much? Do you find it easy or hard to make new friends? Do you feel envious or jealousy of people with large numbers of friends, or who are very socially active? What do you usually do when you are with friends?

I don't have any friends, and it's been a few years since I've had any.

Too many friends, and with my fiance and also having my kids a third of the time, I feel spread too thin to see them as much as I should. I would rather have just a handful of friends who I see more often.

This has been a problem for the wedding, where I have 6 groomsmen (well, one is a woman), and I wanted like twice that many, but no obvious Best Man.

My social life is not robust. I'm not a home body, but I don't have buddies who I hang out with. A lot of what I do socially is linked with my wife, who knows a million people

Inactive, little on the friend count, need to push to make it better.

Nonexistent but as I get older, the more judgmental people become about people who don't have friends, so finding friends/a partner is twice as difficult.

Not. I'll go out for the important things but I usually don't leave my house except for work. I've gotten too used to and am enjoying too much being alone. I've lost any desire to meet new people or even date. I also realize I've always had a bit of a social anxiety and I should probably go see a mental health professional.

At times I like it. I like doing what I want when I want. Going out and doing something every Saturday and Sunday seems exhausting. My friends are trying to set me up with a nice woman but every fiber of me screams no, I would rather play bloody knuckles by myself then go on a date or hang out at a bar with friends for 5 hours. It's anxiety. It's totally effecting my life. I need to do something about it.

I have friends who would show up at a moments notice if I needed it. And there are friends I would do the same. But I wont' go hang out at their place on a Friday.

I find the opposite to be true. As I get older my anti social personality seems more normal as peoples friend count generally dwindles once they get married and have kids thus flushing all their free time down the toilet.

We knew that already.

Quite possibly the least shocking thing you've said, ever

I'm naturally kind of a home body. I've got like 3 friends that I'd consider very close and will really go out of my way to spend time with.

Unfortunately, I'm popular so I'm often invited to do stuff with a lot of other people. I usually have fun and everything, but I'd typically rather just sit on the couch at home. As I grow older, I'd like to continue to have the option to hang out than not. So I go.

All in all, I have plans most weekends and maybe go to dinner or something with someone like once a week.

One mature discord server and one immature discord server is really all you need.

Also finding a discord voice chat friendly job is a bonus. My buddy is a groundskeeper/janitor at a church.

I have plenty of friends but these days everybody knows each other, which is not my preference. Back home I used to mostly keep my friendship groups separated. It meant that if there was any drama in one of them I could just ignore that group until it sorted itself out and Id have other options.

Where I am now, all the foreigners stick together. Its nice in some ways but it does mean its impossible to have that degree of separation.

My friends have dwindled over the years. Recently I dropped two friends because they were spouting right wing talking points. One was a friend for 30 years.

Nowhere near as active as a year or so ago. I don't feel bad about it, life is just a bit different. Many of the friends I've made are international so it's natural most of them have headed back to their home country by now. My French friend of three years had to go back due to visa expiration. My Dutch friend is finally going home as well (but is coming back to NZ afterwards). My Mexican friend is staying in NZ, but I hardly catch up with her these days.

Don't have one. Lost contact with my friends when I got sick 20 years ago, and since then nothing.

As to how I feel about that. Well it's a bit depressing at times, but nothing all that bad.

I guess I wouldn't have any friends either if it wasn't for the video games and gaysex

Drugs can only bring people so close (most drugs anyway)

i was the glue that kept my friends together, and now they dont talk and we dont go out
