Tracking my falling out with my childhood best friend through text messages
Hey everyone.
I analyzed 3.5 years of Telegram messages with my best friend and saw exactly how and why we basically went our separate ways. Couple of notes:
* G and S are us. M and N are our partners through this period of time.
* We were heavy texters even when we lived close, but after I moved to a different country it became basically our only way to keep in touch, save for the rare occasion of a CSGO game.
* Colored lines are a 30-day moving average. Gray bars are the raw numbers.
* idk why I made this. I guess I wanted to see how well our big life events lined up with our communication frequency.
* This isn't inherently sad! We both have other people in our lives that we grew closer with, and it's only natural as we entered our 20s, but our relationship specifically is drifting apart, mostly because of the distance and changing interests. We definitely aren't planning to stop being close friends.
* Data was exported through the built-in Telegram exporter, graph made with python+matplotlib. For those interested I can clean up the notebook and make it public on Github.
