When close friendships lose their depth over time

My best friend since college and I used to talk about everything — what we wanted our lives to mean, what we thought about death, whether any of this matters — and now we mostly text about work and weekend plans because somewhere along the way those big conversations started feeling too heavy or awkward.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people have unconsciously retreated from the vulnerable intellectual intimacy that once defined their connection, leaving both longing for something they're afraid to name.
