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.
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.
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.
There’s about 8 of us in our late 20s-30s and my partner and I see at least 2 of them every weekend. None of us have any kids so that probably helps, easy enough to fit it in our schedule
I am not so young but I have always seen my friends once a week for the better part of my adult life. Basically we always make an effort to organise things, sometimes weeks out, sometimes it’s completely impulsive (and they don’t always work out) - from a small breakfast catch up, or a big weekend away, and everything in between!
27, I am usually playing games online with my friends and family every night. We will usually meet in person 1-2 times a week to watch movies or play board games.
How I do it? Obviously some weeks are more busy than others, but I will set aside a couple hours to atleast organize and get lunch with my friends.
Same here, I’m in my early/mid 20s and still see almost all of my high school friends multiple times per month. Plus we play games on Discord at least once or twice a week. I moved about a half hour out from town a few years back, which is probably the only reason we don’t see you each other even more often
36, it’s me my girlfriend and my cats. I have one friend from highschool I see two or three times a year. Just so busy with work and everything else there’s really not much time, and I do physical labor so by the weekend I just wanna hang at home and relax
Not so young anymore, but I make the effort. Some are slow in getting back or organising stuff; having a car really really helps. If I wanted to see them once a week or more, I’d have to live in the same area.
