When friendships become part of the loneliness problem

My best friend and I both moved to this city around the same time and promised we'd explore it together, but we've both been so overwhelmed with work that we mostly just text about being tired and lonely. We keep making plans we don't follow through on, and I'm starting to wonder if we're making each other feel more isolated instead of less.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who care about each other are caught in a cycle where their shared loneliness creates distance rather than connection.
