When close friendships lose intellectual intimacy and become small talk

My best friend and I used to stay up late having mind-blowing conversations about life and ideas, but lately our talks feel surface-level and predictable. We're both going through major life changes and I think we're scared to be vulnerable about not having answers, but our friendship used to be built on exploring questions together.

More people experience this than they realize.
