Scenario

When longtime friend groups avoid difficult conversations

Our friend group has been together since graduate school and we used to challenge each other constantly, but now when someone brings up politics or ethics, everyone gets quiet or changes the subject and I think we're all afraid of losing what we have.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group of people have become so invested in preserving their connection that they've stopped doing the thing that created the connection in the first place.
