I have 3 or 4 friends that I talk to on a regular basis (once a week or more) but we’re all understanding that things get busy and we may go longer (the time varies) without speaking when stuff is hectic.
I talk to my friends every day. I see friends in-person like 3 times a week, usually. Sometimes more, sometimes less. My friends are very precious to me. 🙂
Pretty much just two. I volunteer a lot and see those groups weekly, but I wouldn’t say we are good friends and mostly stick to acquaintance type conversations.
There’s 7 of us in my inner circle. We see one another weekly, not all 7 of us because work, kids, life… but 3 of them are like a long walk or short drive away while the other 3 are maybe 15 minutes away? I have a pool and hot tub so they’re always at my house with their kiddos. We’re always mid conversation in our group chat
All of our kids call us aunt, nanny, and sissy respectively. Last time we were all in the same room was for the 4th of July at my house
I have a circle of maybe 15-20 very close friends. I don’t always talk to each one every single day, but at least a few. I hang out with my friends 5 out of 7 days of the week. We are in our late 30’s – early 40’s. I love my friends soooooo much.
I adore my outdoor hobby communities because they give me a large number of friends (>20?) that I see on a weekly basis. In terms of close personal friends I talk to 2-3 times a week, three best friends plus my mom, plus or minus 2-3 other less-close friends I might be talking to more that week for whatever reason.
I talk to my close friends daily and see them a few times a month. More visits lately with work schedules aligning 🙂
Talk to at least once a week, maybe 20? I like being social and have a pretty big circle. I go out with friends in person 3-4 times a week. Less if I’m dating someone, since that takes up a chunk of time.
Only 1. She’s 6 hours away so I can only talk to her sadly. Mostly text because she works and I have a young baby. It sucks not having girl friends. It feels like the one thing missing in my life.
About 8 I think
I have 2 close friends that i see multiple times a week. When i was younger i had several friend groups but now i value the quality of my relationships over feeling popular (44/F for reference)
Talk to via text… I guess two, several times a week. Although sometimes I go a few weeks without talking to them. Depression stuff has been bad lately so I haven’t talked to anyone in a bit. As far as seeing anyone on a regular basis, no one besides my husband. The two friends I text, one lives in a different province and the other moved back to the US from Canada last year. The first one came to my wedding in May, along with my childhood best friend who I hadn’t seen in a decade and only catch up with occasionally (they were the only guests).
Mostly I’m fine this way. I’m not a very social person and I’m fine just having my husband around since he’s definitely my best friend and we have a really healthy relationship, and then just messaging other people and getting together once in a blue moon.

All of you are making me so sad…
I have one friend, she lives 2000 miles away from me, and we can only manage to talk on the phone every two or three weeks. There’s some sporadic texting but that’s it
I’m actively working on gaining more friends but my work moves me around a lot so it’s hard to grow roots or get past acquaintances
Other than work friends who I see every day that I am also friends with outside of work, I have 2 friends who I talk to every single day and I see at least once a week, about 10 more that I talk to at least twice a week but see less frequently.

I have around 4/5 best friends that I talk or text almost everyday, and around 15 other friends that are not that close but we see each other regularly. I usually see my friends on weekends, so we usually see someone every week. And sometimes during the week we have a happy hour or something.
