Scenario

When friend groups stop giving honest feedback

My friend group has this unspoken rule where we all pretend to be fine with each other's choices but we're actually watching each other make what we think are terrible decisions and nobody says anything real anymore. We've turned into a support group that only offers hollow encouragement and I miss when we used to actually challenge each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group has traded authentic care for performative acceptance, leaving everyone isolated in their individual struggles.
