Are Your Friendships Real or Just a Routine?


Season 4: Episode 8

Are your friendships built on real connection, or are they just routines you keep out of habit? In this episode of Ageless, Arik and Aurelia dive into the difference between true friendships and companionships of convenience.

Do we keep certain people around just because it’s easier than letting go? Are most adult friendships just gym buddies, hiking partners, or work acquaintances we never actually open up to? And why is loneliness such a universal experience, even for people who seem surrounded by friends?

We explore:

✔️ The difference between true friendship and shared activity-based companionship.

✔️ Why people avoid real conversations and keep relationships on the surface.

✔️ The role of loneliness in shaping our social connections.

✔️ How social media creates a false sense of friendship.

✔️ Why friendships often exist out of habit rather than real connection.

Are we really investing in deep friendships, or just keeping people around because they make us feel a certain way? Tune in for an honest, raw conversation about what it means to truly connect.

Listen now and rethink the way you view your friendships.
