When close friendships start feeling performative instead of natural

My best friend and I used to stay up all night talking about everything and nothing but now our conversations feel like we're both performing the highlight reel of our lives. We say we should hang out more but when we do it feels like we're both trying too hard to prove we're still close.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You've become curators of your own friendship, displaying its best moments instead of living in them.
