When long-distance friend groups lose emotional intimacy over time

My college friend group has been trying to stay close for eight years since graduation but we're scattered across three time zones now and our group chat feels performative — we share big updates but avoid the real stuff — and I can tell we're all pretending this version of friendship feels as meaningful as it used to.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The infrastructure of connection remains but the depth has quietly eroded, and no one wants to name what's been lost.
