| How many people do you interact with on a daily basis in real life, face-to-face and how many people do you interact with online? |

It just depends. If I'm at school I interact with a handful of fellow students. If I'm at the pool teaching lessons, I interact with dozens of children.
Heh. interact. /igk |

Real human interaction... like one or two people a day.
Online, voice and text, dozens to hundreds per day (and I am not counting forums, or other non-instant conversations)... :p |

| Mostly just my parents. Sometimes I wave at the people at the bus stop across the road from my window though. |

On a normal workday, my boss at work and my housemates at home. Also one or two friends if I go out in the evening. So 3-5 is typical. That's obviously not counting people like bus drivers, shop clerks, other people in the office kitchen and other minor encounters. It's difficult to quantify online. How many people am I interacting with in this thread, for example? There's one friend who lives in one city who I talk to on IM almost every day, though.
I am highly aware that since I've moved to this city I don't really take part in big social interactions anymore. I had a big circle of friends at home and I had a big circle of friends at university, but the former have been left behind and the latter have split up and spread all across the country now. I only really have four close friends I see on a regular basis here, and never all at the same time.
I have mixed feelings about this. It's nice to have lots of friends, and I miss having a lot of people on hand who I can hang around with on a whim. But on the other hand, I find individual thought tends to get lost a little in large groups of friends, as you slip into familiar routines, in-jokes and activities. It's also harder to do something new and unfamiliar, because you need the approval of everyone in the group rather than just one or two people.
I think I'm happier with the smaller social interactions with close friends, but I wish more of my friends were here. I'd like the 5-10 regular friends figure, but not all in one social circle. |
