Scenario

When friend groups maintain connection without intimacy

My college friend group has a group chat that's been active for eight years but now it's just birthday reminders and job updates - nobody shares anything real or funny anymore. We're maintaining the infrastructure of friendship without any of the actual intimacy or humor that made us friends in the first place.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
