Why Adult friendships feel impossible

You know that text you sent three weeks ago that still hasn't gotten a response? Or that friend who only reaches out when they need something? Maybe you've been the one who goes quiet for months because even texting back feels exhausting. If you're in your 20s or 30s and friendship feels harder than it should, you're not broken. The entire social infrastructure that made relationships feel natural has fundamentally changed - and most of us never learned how to adapt. In this video, I break down the real reasons adult friendship has become so difficult: Why college friendships felt effortless (and why that environment doesn't exist anymore) How the pandemic permanently changed our social expectations Why social media makes us feel connected but leaves us lonelier The hidden psychology behind "effort asymmetry" in modern relationships Why digital communication creates intimacy barriers we don't talk about This isn't about being more social or putting yourself out there more. It's about understanding that you're trying to build relationships in a completely different world than previous generations, often without the right tools or realistic expectations. If you've ever wondered why maintaining friendships feels like such work now, or why you can feel lonely in a room full of people, this video will finally give you the framework to understand what's actually happening.
