Had a bunch of friends in college but we all lived in the same hallway, so when we wanted to talk as a group we just… talked in a group. Other than that we somehow got along texting individually. That was before everyone had switched to smartphones, anyway; I started college in '07, before the iPhone.
Then I moved a few times over the last decade+, and the people I’m still talking to are separated by thousands of miles of space and years of my life in terms of when I knew them in person.
And like I said, when I’ve been in groups organized around an activity like D&D, we’ve had chats for scheduling, but they pretty much stayed on topic and didn’t become, like, friend-group-chats.
Never had more than 1 friend who has similar interests?
