I would definitely say my 13 year old hangs out with his friends in person a lot less than I did at 13. 

i think they count, the original survey was done with teenagers who likely wouldn’t have a wife and kids, so that might make for a better comparison across age groups

Same here. We like to keep our world small. It helped get through the pandemic without getting involved in the hysteria on both sides.

Do my wife and kids count as friends? If not, rarely. We have one other couple that we see as friends occasionally and I usually go back to the city to catch a Jays game with friends once or twice a year. Otherwise I mostly only hang out with my family and my friends on SN and I like it that way.
