How many people do you talk to in a typical day?

This topic is a bit tricky. My acquaintances often proudly say that they receive this many text messages a day and having this many friends at work or outside work. I have always thought that most people in the developed world have to be nice to other people just to get by, just to survive. I have to respond to some of text messages (at and outside work) to get by. Some even say their girlfriends or boyfriends help them get through a day. In the UK, there are only a few people that can live a typical day without having to talk to anyone. They are wealthy, independent and educated. I am just surprised that my acquaintances genuinely believe that rich people with little friends have worse life than they do. What do you think?
