Scenario

When friends make similar life changes but struggle to support each other

My best friend and I both left our corporate jobs to pursue creative work and we thought we'd be each other's support system but instead we're both so insecure about our choices that every conversation becomes this weird mix of encouragement and competition. We can't celebrate each other's wins without feeling bad about our own progress and we can't share struggles without feeling like we're being judged.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Parallel transitions create unexpected competition where there should be companionship, as insecurity corrupts the ability to witness each other clearly.
