Sorry, there was some confusion with the previous phrasing

Not at all apart from work. #CovidIsEverywhere

We have a weekly social night at the makerspace, so that occupies a blurry zone. That’s people who work at the place I work, but we don’t have the same employer. The number of people I’ve done some activity with outside of the makerspace is two, maybe three. If we don’t count the event at the place I work, it’s “about monthly”instead of “about weekly” which is how I voted.

Since Covid arrived - quarterly or less, but it used to be much more.

between autism , being immunocompromised I stay alone

Until it got too cold outside, I was in a weekly D&D game that met outside on our friend's porch (as a COVID precaution). I also see other friends on a less regular basis, so even though D&D is on hiatus, I figure it averages out to roughly once a week.

We host our Covid pod a few times a week at our house. So far *knock on wood* none of us have gotten Covid. We all mask everywhere.

@alanthwaits that's "or less". Zero frequency is less than quarterly frequency.

@alanthwaits how so? You literally have never socialized with anyone you don't live with in your entire life?

This is why having a dog increases your lifespan, as
doggies DEMAND to go to the dog park EVERY DAY to see their doggie friends.

I’ve been working in an office with ~40 people this entire pandemic (essential worker). It has been hard to adjust to all of my friends regressing into anti-social behavior. I always thought I was the introvert. Turns out, nope.

@alanthwaits I'm sure it feels like never sometimes.

Two three times a week.

Dayum! And thought I was the loner! Sheesh.

it’s boiling down to once a month at the moment, thanks to the COVID risk + having long COVID

Since the plague times it's maybe quarterly. I do take my teen son to his weekly game night, & the spouse & I will get a pint & snacks down the street, but we mask & don't really hang out w/ anyone else. We just moved here some months ago so hoping this will change a bit. #Tacoma #Goth

can you put in yearly or less? I mean social distancing kinda made that a thing.

The comments are most interesting. It seems like a lot of us dialled back our socializing during the pandemic.

Before 2020 daily, ever since covid, almost never. Or very rarely.

probably at least twice weekly but not counting chatting with immediate neighbors

I don’t count talking to people I work with, or interacting with people over Zoom, socializing, which why I picked monthly
But I suck at socializing.

I socialize nearly every day. But not in person, and that hasn't changed much. My social life has been primarily online for a long, long time. Most of my friends don't live anywhere near me. I like it this way.

What has changed due to the pandemic is that I avoid being near groups of people as much as possible now.
