hey, how do you maintain friendships?

| Job-chan here...it feels like i so rarely see my irl friends anymore. at best we send each other gluts of memes and talk asynchronously throughout a given week.

what do some of you do? game nights? movie nights? something besides the bar though please, we all work there as is.

thanks, sorry for asking for such goofy help and as always hope youse all are doing great


| Honestly sending each other memes and talking asynchronously is good enough. At least you're keeping tabs on each other.

There's a group of friends I only meet up with, like, twice a year? And we rarely chat online either. I still consider them some of my closest friends.

| Over the years as people have been moving and things all my friends are either hours away or in other countries. We really don't see eachother often at all. We chat often though and I keep my house open to visitors, so whenever someone has time they came over for the weekend or if coming from out of country take a week or two of vacation and we just kinda hang out. Play some games, make some food, just kinda hang out


| TTRPGs are really fun if you have the time, that's how I spend time with a lot of my friends! Other than that, if you can find one evening a week that you're both free, it can be nice to just regularly call one another and chat.


| Try and invite them over when you have aligning off days. Maybe go to a convention together, head put for food or drinks. Even organise days out walking, see an art gallery or museum.

Async can be bad because you can’t really listen to each other as well or in such a healing way.

I do chat async with my bestie but I met her for gyros at a Greek restaurant last week and talked, and that turned into us reading a book together though async. I spent too long sending messages about it and overwhelmed her. Async BAD >:( but I think complements talking

I think sending irl pictures sometimes makes a connection. But I still say go for a walk or lunch and talk


| 15 minute phone calls every now and then is technically all you need to maintain a friendship in good health according to a study I read once. Obviously this is the bare minimum so it's important to take the time for meetups every now and then too, even if its only once a year.

Two of my oldest friends I only meet once or twice a year but we keep at it like clockwork. But we also play TTRPGs over discord and alchemy.
