Maintaining Long Distance Friendships
Hi all, so I have a few friends who live across the country or in other countries (we were in uni or college together). I consider them to be really great people and I want to keep in contact as much as possible. What tips do you have for maintaining these friendships?
Hey there @peachSugar2311 , it's great you met some wonderful people over time and would like to continue the bond with them , can understand and relate as to the difficulties with long distance friendships , as there are minimal chances of meeting and hanging out together , a fabulous thing is that we have great technology now ~ thanks to the current situation, virtual dates are the new hang outs hehe , it's not the same like meeting and spending time in real time / physical presence ~ but staying in contact through video calls , calls, texts, virtually are some good available options to stay in touch ! How do you feel about these virtual resources to keep your friends in contact ? 😊
For a free online/virtual resource, one of the best things that has come about for friends in my opinion are discord servers. When you're online you can chat with everyone through text, voice, or video; share memes; stream shows for everyone to watch together; etc. I love it. Being able to pop in throughout the day and either continue a conversation or jump into a new one in real time has been really great for maintaining friendships.
