When longtime friend groups struggle to evolve beyond shared history

My closest friend group from college used to share everything but now we're all in our thirties with different lives and when we get together we mostly just reminisce about old times instead of talking about who we actually are now. I love these people but I feel like we're maintaining a friendship with past versions of each other and I don't know how to bridge that gap.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Deep friendships can become museums of past connection rather than living relationships with present people.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Vulnerability and connection?”
