Like, for hours, enjoying long conversations. If not one friend in a deep convo (which is the most satisfying in my opinion), then across multiple friends. If not, consider a (respected) app where you phone call a random stranger. I've done that before during COVID, talked to like 30+ people, it was a lot of fun. Thank you for your recommendation. At the moment I'm using HelloTalk to socialize. Although, sometimes I'm afraid that they don't reply so I start conversations with a lot of different people and sometimes I'm too afraid to check my notifications.
