When friends disagree about the value of indirect wisdom

My best friend and I have been sharing Nasreddin wisdom for years but lately she thinks I use the stories to avoid having real conversations and I think she's lost her ability to find meaning in anything that isn't completely serious.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

What once felt like profound connection through shared absurdity now feels like one person hiding behind stories while the other demands naked honesty.
