23. The Loneliest Friendships Ever?

from Side By Side-Eye · host Side by Side Eye Podcast

In this episode, we take a real look at how friendship has evolved, from the neighborhood kids and school besties of the 90s to online friends, work friends, and “Facebook friends” in 2026. Did friendship really change… or did the definition just stretch?We talk about why childhood friendships feel so intense, why adult friendships can feel fragile, and why some “best friends” quietly drift away when a job ends or life shifts. We unpack the difference between shared history and shared interests, why loyalty looks quieter now, and whether we’re actually becoming more shallow, or just more spread out.This isn’t a “screens ruined everything” conversation. It’s an honest, sometimes uncomfortable, but deeply relatable discussion about seasons of friendship, proximity vs. intention, and why some relationships were real even if they weren’t meant to last forever.Contact: [email protected]
