Vent: my coworker made me rethink what a real friend even is

I had lunch with a guy from accounting last week, Tom, and he told me that he thinks most adult friends are just 'convenient overlaps' and not real friendships. He said that if you stopped working together or living nearby, 90% of them would never text you again. It hit me hard because I have like 3 people I hang out with regularly and I realized we never talk about anything deeper than weekend plans. Has anyone else had that moment where you looked at your friend group and wondered if it's all just surface level stuff?

That "convenient overlaps" thing really got me too, I used to think I had deep friends but now I'm not so sure.

Hang on don't throw all your friends under the bus that fast. Convenience keeps people close sometimes, doesn't mean they're fake. How do you figure out the difference?
