I do that too, but I think it's nice to have at lest one best friend to call to sometimes and just be talking stuff :)

I prefer live communication. It's really important for me to see all emotions of the person I talk with. And, of course, if the distance is very long between us we use social media :)

I don't really enjoy social media for talking, I only use it for emergency. When it comes to take news or communication, I highly prefer saying the person face to face.

I prefer texting them via WhatsApp, but if I were to tell them something really important I would video call them to see their reaction.

I prefer to write short messages on social media applications like Telegram or Instagram. More often I met with my old friend face to face

Hello Nastya,

Could you please change your username so that it's written in Roman letters (in other words, the letters used in English)? That way other users will know how to say your name -- that's the only reason we ask.

I prefer use social media or messangers, because they replace emails and letters. They are more comfortable to use and spend less time to sending message. And what, who use email to send message to friend in 21-st century ? WT!?
