Scenario

When friend groups become performative instead of authentic

Our book club started as a way to connect over ideas but it's become this space where we perform our politics for each other instead of actually listening. We're all progressives but we're so afraid of saying the wrong thing that we've stopped saying anything real, and I miss the intimacy we used to have.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to belong can corrupt the very vulnerability that creates true belonging.
