When professional cohorts lose authentic connection over time

Our cohort from the aerospace master's program has been meeting quarterly for three years to share career updates and technical insights, but lately it feels like everyone is just performing success and no one talks about the real struggles - like how automation is changing our field or whether we picked the right specializations. I miss the honest conversations we used to have but I don't know how to get back there without sounding like I'm the one who's struggling.
