When friend groups become highlight reels

My closest friend group from college stays in touch through a group chat but lately it's just become a performance of everyone's highlight reel, and I find myself feeling more lonely after reading it than before. None of us seems willing to break the cheerful surface but I suspect we're all craving something more real.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The very technology meant to preserve connection can become a stage where we perform happiness rather than share the full spectrum of our actual lives.
