When friendships get stuck in surface-level support

My closest friend and I both went through major life changes this year and we keep checking in with each other but neither of us is saying what's actually happening underneath — we're both protecting each other from our real questions about meaning and purpose and I don't know how to stop.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are avoiding the deeper conversations that would actually serve their connection because they've mistaken protection for care.
