One, two, none at all?

Depends on my relationship with each person. If I am comfortable with everyone in the group, I have no problem in a small group. When new people join the group, I become anxious, but will try and participate as best I can. At a large event or a party, I usually stick with people I know, though I don't have a problem meeting new people out of the blue or doing small talk.

However, I prefer one on one more than anything because there is much less social input to process. I can also focus more on the individual friendship and can explore deeper subjects, which is harder to do in groups.

I prefer being with 2 people because even though it can be exhausting, I can continue to build my 'cause-and-effect' type flow charts for human behavior & social interaction. Any more people and i get stressed. Just one other person around and the 1950's housewife comes out and I need to play host.

When I have more than one friend I like to see them separately. Even spending time with two people who are my friends and who I'm comfortable with is so much more work than being with just one. Also, I feel less able to keep the conversation(s) going and sound intelligent and respond ect. when there are more people with whom to interact. I feel like I'm less fun to be around and less interesting in a group than one-on-one.

I usually prefer to be alone, but usually it depends on the person (My girlfriend, for example.)

I like hanging out with a variety of quantities of people, mostly based on my mood. There is more fun and randomness in groups, while there is more depth and meaning in one-on-one interactions. The rest is on a spectrum, with different fun/meaningfulness proportions depending on the quantity of people.

It depends entirely on the situation. the people, and my mood. The number can be just about anything.
It's usually zero though (not counting those I live with).
