I hesitate to repeat it, but I've seen reels where a woman has remarked that she realized her husband spent more time inside of his mom than inside of her. That's a pretty weird mountain to climb if you ask me.

In my view, putting a number to some things profanes or perverts it. I don't think relationships or meaning is an equation that you solve by having the right number of hours allocated to them. I only think the numbers should come up when they are close to zero.

When I have free time, I think to myself I should try to do something with friends, especially going over to their homes. Playing games remotely is fun too, but being with someone in person I think ultimately has a bigger impact. Everyone has to find a balance that works for them.

But if you did get the real numbers, I've spent more time pooping, showering, sleeping, or chilling in utero than spending time with friends.

People in my family who have spent a ton of time with me get sick of me. I'm glad my friends mostly haven't gotten sick of me. I think there's a happy medium.
