Scenario

When longtime friendships start feeling forced and distant

My best friend and I have been slowly growing apart for two years and we both feel it but neither of us knows how to name what's changing or whether we should fight for this or let it go gracefully. We keep making plans and then feeling awkward during them, like we're performing a friendship that used to be effortless.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are mourning the loss of intimacy while still caring deeply, caught between fighting for connection and accepting natural drift.
