When peer support groups become performance spaces instead of genuine connection

My leadership cohort from our accelerator program meets monthly and we're supposed to be supporting each other but it's become this weird performance where everyone shares curated struggles and we give each other generic advice and I leave feeling more isolated than before. I think we're all afraid to be actually vulnerable because we're still competing with each other in some ways.

What we've seen

Your support group has become a polite performance, and you leave lonelier than you came.
