When friendship support becomes transactional rather than relational

My closest friends and I have been through so much together over the years, but lately when one of us is struggling, the others respond in ways that feel more like managing the situation than actually being present. We've become efficient at crisis support but something essential about just being with each other through hard things has gotten lost.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group has developed competency at care-giving that has inadvertently replaced the vulnerable mutuality that originally defined their belonging to each other.
