Scenario

When friend groups become too polite and lose their inside jokes

Our friend group used to have inside jokes and do ridiculous things together, but now when we hang out it's all small talk about work and logistics about whose turn it is to pick the restaurant. We're all still good people but we've become so careful with each other that nothing feels genuine anymore.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group has unconsciously agreed to stay on the surface, trading authentic connection for the safety of never risking awkwardness.
