Kinda related for me, is keeping in touch / communication / or just talking in general. It's the reason why I don't have any friends left, and that's because I can't be bothered to stay in touch with them (and I hate social media).

At the same time, I'd like to have some friends to go watch movies with, or go to a restaurant etc. I almost stopped going to the cinemas after I lost touch with my old work friends.

I wish I could have just casual, activity-based friends so there's no commitment to keep a relationship going and you just meet up for an activity when you feel like it with no expectation of any follow up communications or getting involved in their lives.
