When friendships become too careful and lose their authenticity

My best friend and I used to send each other the most unhinged, stream-of-consciousness voice messages, but lately our communication has become these careful check-ins where we ask how each other is doing and give appropriate responses. We're both going through hard stuff, but it's like we've forgotten how to be weird together.

More people experience this than they realize.
