When friends avoid difficult conversations to preserve the relationship

My best friend and I used to challenge each other's thinking all the time and it made both of us sharper, but since the election we've been tiptoeing around anything political or meaningful because we're afraid of where we might land. I think we're both protecting the friendship but losing what made it valuable.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Fear of conflict is preventing two people from accessing the very dynamic that deepened their connection.
