My best friend and I used to text constantly and share everything and now our conversations feel like polite interviews about work and weekend plans. We both keep saying 'we should hang out more' but when we do it feels like we're trying too hard to recreate something that used to be effortless.
More people experience this than they realize.
The friendship has become conscious of itself, losing the unconscious flow that once made connection feel like breathing.
