As individuals grow and their priorities change, their values, attitudes, and enjoyments also shift. Psychology explains that people bond over shared experiences, creating a common narrative leading to interpersonal compatibility. Relationships are often founded on shared priorities, mutual connections, and similar interests. The dynamic of friendships evolves from early 20s to late 20s due to shifting contexts like transitioning from university to working life. As priorities diverge, relationships may be impacted, especially when individuals take away different lessons and values from shared experiences. This evolution is a natural part of growing up and should not be seen as a fault but as a part of personal growth.
