When friends avoid difficult conversations about shared dreams that aren't working

My closest friend and I have been planning to start a business together for three years and we keep finding reasons to delay it and I'm starting to realize we might want completely different things but neither of us wants to say it out loud because it would mean admitting we've been lying to ourselves and each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're both protecting a friendship by avoiding a truth that could either deepen it or end it.
