When longtime friendships feel stagnant

My college friends and I have kept in touch for fifteen years but lately when we get together it feels like we're all performing our friendship instead of actually having one. We reminisce about the same stories and ask the same surface questions and I leave feeling lonelier than when I arrived, but none of us wants to be the one to say our friendship might be changing.

What we've seen
