When friendships become problem-solving sessions instead of pure connection

My best friend and I used to spend hours walking and talking about everything and nothing, but now our catch-ups feel like efficiency meetings where we update each other on our lives and problems, and I realize we've lost the art of just being present with each other without trying to solve or accomplish anything.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people have forgotten that friendship can be its own form of leisure, not just a venue for mutual support and life management.
