When friend groups lose intimacy to performance dynamics

Our book club of six friends started as a way to stay connected but it's become this weird competitive intellectual space where people perform having read the book and I don't know how to bring back the intimacy we were actually looking for.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire for connection can be unconsciously subverted by social patterns that prioritize image over genuine encounter.
