Hmm. I’m sorry to hear this. It’s so hard to navigate that kind of situation.

Could you speak to them about it, do you think? I don’t believe people *need* to share interests in order to be friends as long as there’s some mutual ground, even if that’s just your history. It could be that you need to rekindle the connection, and a little vulnerability can do wonders with that.

Whatever happens, I wish you all the best with it!
