I don't have any "friends" per se in real life. Mostly the people I communicate with are online. When I did have friends, they varied in backgrounds and ages. I met them all through Meetup groups I belonged to. With COVID those Meetup groups are stalled since they can't meet in person.

Once this COVID thing is over-with (will it ever be?), I plan to get involved in Meetup groups again to restart my social life. Online friendships are good, even when you can video chat with each other, but not being in person together to go to coffee etc. is weird.
