Scenario

When new parent friends can only connect through shared exhaustion

My closest friend and I both became parents around the same time and we're so sleep-deprived and physically depleted that our friendship has become just texting about how tired we are — we love each other but we've lost the energy to actually connect meaningfully.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Physical depletion has reduced a deep friendship to surface-level commiseration, leaving both people feeling isolated despite regular contact.
