When longtime friends struggle to stay emotionally present for each other

My best friend and I have been through everything together for fifteen years but lately when I try to talk about what's really going on in my life she changes the subject or makes jokes and I realize I'm doing the same thing when she opens up. We're both going through hard stuff right now but somehow we've lost the ability to actually be there for each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The deepest friendships can develop protective barriers that prevent the very intimacy they once thrived on.
