When old friendships feel stuck in the past

Our group of college friends has stayed close for fifteen years but lately our group text feels forced and when we do get together it's like we're all performing our old versions of ourselves. I think we've all changed in ways we haven't shared with each other and I miss feeling like we really know each other, but I don't know how to get back to that without making everyone uncomfortable.

What we've seen

A group is maintaining the form of connection while the substance has quietly shifted, leaving everyone longing for intimacy they don't know how to reclaim.
