Scenario

When friend groups lose authenticity in pursuit of depth

Our book club started as five friends wanting to go deeper than surface conversations but three years in we've become this weird performance space where everyone tries to sound the most insightful and I miss the vulnerability we used to have. None of us wants to be the one to call it out because we're all doing it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to appear wise can become the enemy of genuine wisdom-seeking in groups.
