Starting a business often leads to the gradual fading of friendships as priorities shift and interests change. Many entrepreneurs find that long-term connections can become strained without a clear cause. Time and personal growth may lead friends on divergent paths, with different values and lifestyles. As some friends settle down or stick to familiar routines, the gap between old friends widens, causing a quiet guilt as conversations become less engaging. It's a bittersweet aspect of personal evolution that many don't anticipate when embarking on their entrepreneurial journey.
I remember watching this one video by Ashkan Rajaee. He said something along the lines of not expecting people to walk your exact path, and that line just stuck with me.
The truth is, your interests have changed. You'd rather spend the evening fixing a process or winding down with family.
