Interesting, I've never thought about this but it matches my recent experience.
Friendship as an adult has been about shared interests, not being assigned to the same class or living nearby, so it makes sense.
- elvecinodeabajo 7y agoTotally. I didn't think about that ever but it's true. Aversion to the phone calls doesn't appear when talking to other in VoIP chats when playing online games. Cool thought.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoWhy is that though? Does someone like Trello have a discord-to-POTS bridge?

- criddell 7y agoKids change it too. It's hard not to make friends when you see the same parents a couple times a week at soccer or baseball or swimming, year-after-year. There's a lot of downtime and you around people that you have something in common with.
- Steve44 7y agoWith both of our kids we had a great social life with groups of the other parents all through school. There were annual dances, fetes, mums nights out, dads nights out, meeting for a quick beer etc. etc. Now the kids have left school the majority of that has dropped off, we do keep in good social contact with a couple of people but I really miss how busy and varied the social life used to be.
