Scenario

When friend groups struggle with presence and overcommitment

Our friend group always makes plans weeks in advance and then everyone shows up distracted and checking their calendars for the next thing and I feel like we're all going through the motions of friendship without actually being present with each other but I don't know how to bring this up without sounding preachy.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The forms of connection are intact but emptied of their substance, and addressing it requires risking the social contract everyone has silently agreed to.
