I see my significant other everyday. As for "real life friends" as in interacting with OTHER actual real people made out of flesh and blood, umm never. I don't go out on weekends socializing, clubbing, partying etc. I never did that, not even when I was younger, not even in high school. I was already alone back then.
I'm used to being alone and have been used to it my whole life so it's nothing new to me. Even back in high school I didn't have a lot of friends and used to eat lunch alone in the career center/library. Also in college I didn't make one friend either. (Only went for a few classes though) I never understood how people made friends or just started talking to each other out of the blue. I find it bizarre actually when people who don't know each other can strike up a conversation and just start talking.
I run errands a lot though, such as buy groceries, get my hair cut, go shopping, drop of dry cleaning, etc but I don't interact with the people more than I have to, only the minimal required in order to get my business done.
I am at the point where I'm comfortable being alone and fine being alone. I don't really want to make any new friends.
If I didn't have a significant other I'd probably not interact with anyone. I could probably die and no one would find out. I don't find it sad though because I'm used to being alone and I can entertain myself without needing other people.
