In this candid conversation, Awurabena and the.nativeson sit down to unpack a question that’s been sitting with both of them: Have friendships become more transactional, or are we just more aware of the imbalance now?
They reflect on personal experiences, the silent give-and-take in many relationships, and how adulthood, social media, and shifting values might be changing how we show up for each other. They also ask: what does a healthy, non-transactional friendship actually look like? And how do you navigate imbalance without resentment?
It’s honest, thoughtful, and invites you to reflect on your own friendships and it may be a little uncomfortable, but it’s the kind of conversation that stays with you long after it ends.
