"Why I Think Most Friendships Are Fake After 25"
Why I Think Most Friendships Are Fake After 25 by The moment I realized most of my friendships were performative came during my 29th birthday dinner. Eight people RSVP’d “yes,” five confirmed the day before, two said they were “on the way,” and in the end, only one actually showed up—thirty minutes late, without an apology, and with half a cupcake in a takeout bag as a gift. I wasn’t mad. I was embarrassed. Because in that moment, over soggy fries and forced smiles, I had to face a truth I had been avoiding: I didn’t really have friends. I had people I used to be close to, people I kept on my contact list out of nostalgia, and people who were only around when it was convenient.
