Between Us — Why Adult Friendships Feel So Hard

In this episode of Between Us, we talk about friendship — the kind that shapes you, comforts you, and sometimes quietly fades away.

From moving across countries to navigating college, loneliness, cultural differences, and adulthood, we reflect on the friendships that stayed, the ones we lost, and the emotional complexity of growing apart.

We also talk about: • feeling lonely even when surrounded by people • how studying abroad changes friendships • emotional support systems during difficult times • misunderstandings between international students and local culture • outgrowing people while still caring about them • why adult friendships can feel harder than relationships sometimes

This episode is honest, personal, and deeply relatable for anyone who has ever felt caught between different places, identities, or versions of themselves.

Welcome back to Between Us.
