Not every friendship has to go deep. Some people are just great to laugh with, and that’s plenty.

Friendships get graded by depth, and the shallow ones get treated as failures. Most people only have room for a few close ones anyway. The person you have a good time with and never discuss anything serious with is not a deficient friend, they are a different kind, and your week is better for them. Trying to force depth where neither of you wants it usually spoils what was already working.

Let some of yours be exactly what they are. Enjoy the funny one without auditing the relationship. Save the heavier conversations for the two or three who want them, which is kinder to everybody.
