As we look back on a pandemic-long year, we are left to reflect on the many changes that disrupted our lives. The extra time alone has allowed us to reassess our priorities and, in particular, the type of people with whom we want to spend our time. Romantic relationships have taken a toll during the pandemic, but so have our platonic ones. Some friendships may have survived awkward hangs on Zoom, while some friends remained close by coming together in safe, socially distant gatherings, and some people have chosen to let go of certain friends altogether. According to a study conducted in the U.K. that measured the ways the pandemic changed people's social lives, 22 percent of people reported that their friendships had worsened. The finding was most prevalent among young adults.
