When longtime friend groups start growing apart

My college friend group has stayed close for fifteen years but lately our group chats and hangouts feel forced and I think we're all changing in ways that make our old dynamic feel artificial. Nobody wants to be the one to acknowledge that we might be growing apart, but the energy feels strained and I wonder if we're holding onto something that's run its course.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The evolution of individual identity can outpace group identity, creating a collective reluctance to acknowledge that shared history might not be enough to sustain current connection.
