Scenario

When friend groups avoid meaningful conversations to preserve harmony

Our friend group has this unspoken rule that we don't talk about anything too serious or controversial, which used to feel comfortable but now feels suffocating. I want to bring up something that matters to me but I'm afraid it will break whatever we have, and I can't tell if that's because I'm being precious or because our friendships really are that fragile.

More people experience this than they realize.
