Lots of friends
We wrote extensively about the pandemic-specific conflicts causing friendship breakups here. But even if a full-on breakup didn’t happen, did you notice your core friend group shrink? So many of our friendships may have relied on things like a shared place to meet up. Many relied on shared acquaintances and an obligation to be nice. Now, you probably just speak to the people who really make your life better because there’s too much going on to keep up with those who don’t. So you only stay in touch with those with whom you genuinely enjoy having a simple conversation. You may have realized there were a few people in your circle whose friendship requires a lot more than you have to give these days.
