I like to relax with my friends and __ talk about non-college topics!

If I insert TO into the gap, will it sound the same or unnatural?

Native speakers would almost always omit the second to, but it doesn't sound unnatural.

And, in other contexts, 'to' can naturally be used more than once in a sentence:

He went to a therapist because he wanted to try to learn to relax.
