Is this correct?

'I don't go away very often' is it the same as saying 'I go away very rarely'?

Thanks.

'I do not go away frequently'
Does it imply I do something else frequently, but going away is not one of them?

Hi,



Not necessarily, although it could, depending on the context, tone of voice, etc.
