Those that I consider my closest friends right now, we mostly only see each other once a week and play board games with each other.<p>I&#x27;d say 90-95% of what we do is play board games together, but I know what&#x27;s going on in their lives and they do mine, and I&#x27;ve attended their special events like birthdays and housewarmings and weddings, and helped them out when they needed it and supported them in their endeavors.<p>If that&#x27;s not being a friend because we mostly just do a &#x27;single activity&#x27;, then I very much disagree with your definition.<p>I do agree about not having seen each other for years and there&#x27;s no awkwardness when you get back together being a mark of friendship though. I have that with my old high school friends, and I&#x27;m sure it&#x27;d be the same with my main friends today.
