Who do you stay in touch with most often?

Of all the people you call/text/chat with, who do you stay in the closest contact with?

Mostly two local friends but one is 90% messaging to organise in-person meetups. There are also a couple of other people who I message with a couple of times a month. I am horrible about phone calls but trying to get into them more, at least for the people who I cannot see in person, which is sadly too many because a lot of my local friends have moved away.

I also have about 20 penpals but only about 4 or so are fast repliers. I take a lot of time to reply these days so that is A-OK with me. I love writing letters with my fountain pens.

I used to IM with a couple of people I met via LJ and DW but that has not happened in a while and Yahoo!Messenger, which I used to use, does not even exist anymore. I miss those days. I guess I should try to get into Discord. Hm.

Messages to organize in-person meetups definitely count on the scale of things worth doing frequently!

20 penpals! I am extremely impressed.

I don't know where one starts with getting into Discord, so I will wish you luck and leave it at that.

Yes, I love that I am no longer in half-quarantine nor in the hospital and able to meet up with friends in person. It is a great joy and raises quality of life so much!

Oh, some of those are only once a year so it is less impressive as it sounds. But it is my main hobby outside of meeting friends in person and reading and watching Youtube, which are more passive. I love it a lot.

So far, I have downloaded the app and bookmarked some links to groups that might be interesting. But I have social anxiety and not a lot of energy so have not gotten any further than that. Hehe. Thank you for the good wishes, though! Much appreciated.
