Why do my friends and i seem to drift apart, and how can we reconnect?

[NicholasTM]

I’ve been noticing that my friends and I are starting to have less and less in common lately. It’s not a big fight or anything, just a slow drift where our conversations feel more forced and our weekend plans don’t really overlap anymore.

I’ve noticed the same thing. We used to have long, easy chats and weekend plans that snapped into place. Now the calls feel a little forced and the weekends rarely line up.

I tried to set up a movie night last Friday and it collapsed after one person bailed, then another, and we ended up not doing anything.

Is it possible we’re all changing in different directions and that’s the real drift?

Honestly, I’m not sure what I’m looking for here. Maybe I’m chasing something that no longer exists, or maybe we just need a reset button.
