Understanding Social Drag

Social drag occurs when individuals undergo significant personal changes but others around them continue to interact as if the changes haven't taken place yet. This mismatch between internal and external realities can lead to confusion and misinterpretation. The delay in others acknowledging the changes can be especially pronounced with family and friends who don't see the individual often.
