My closest friend and I used to bond over our shared anxiety about climate change but lately she's gone full doomsday prepper mode while I'm trying to focus on small changes and staying hopeful for my kids and it feels like we're living in different realities. She thinks I'm in denial and I think she's given up and we can't seem to talk about anything else anymore without it turning into this heavy thing about who's facing reality.
More people experience this than they realize.
Climate grief is being processed so differently that it's threatening a friendship built on shared environmental concern.
