Scenario

When old friendships become performative instead of genuine

My college friends and I used to stay in touch regularly but now we only really connect when someone gets married or has a baby or there's some big announcement. When we do talk it feels like we're all performing our lives for each other instead of actually being friends and I miss how real we used to be.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The scaffolding of shared history isn't enough to sustain connection when you've all grown into people who no longer know how to be vulnerable with each other.
