CHAPTER

The Fear of Leaving a Group Chat

Cindy was invited to a friend's birthday party but couldn't make it because of her schedule. She spent 15 minutes trying to type out an explanation for why she wasn't able to go. Cindy then realized that if you're in a group chat, you can like see someone typing right? "I'll just never leave this girl chat Maybe they'll just kick me out," she said.

she asked me if I wanted to come And then so she added me into the group chat And then I realized like the dates didn't really line up with like my schedule So I ended up not being able to go but then it was like with like people I didn't really know that well So it's like I felt awkward and be like just leave the group chat I felt like I needed to like have an explanation. Oh my god They already like invited me into her right And so the entire time I was like typing I was like typing trying to type like a message Like oh, sorry guys like I can't go because like the dates are like nope and like blah blah And then I think I spent like maybe 15 minutes trying to type that message but you know what's so funny and like Sad was that like if you're in a group chat, you can like see someone typing right? Yeah, and so people like I'm pretty sure all of them can see just I'm typing for 15 minutes And it was like after I realized I only realized was when my friend was like, you know, even typing We're like I'm really long No Everyone was on the edge of their seat Waiting for you to say something. I was like at this point. I was gonna leave No explanation yet Keep them like This is legend has it Cindy still typing No, I ended up sending it and I was like, I'll just never leave this girl chat Maybe they'll just kick me out. Yeah, they're gonna kick me out Wait, I honestly thought you were gonna conclude this story by saying like your friend who you already told you couldn't make it Just kicked you out before you can even send them this that would have been merciful. Yeah, that would have been very nice Dude, this is exactly why I type out all my like longer messages on like note pattern or something Because of this exact fear. I'm like they can't know how long I've been deliberating I actually did not know that like I think like I thought like oh it was only like individual message You can see someone typing but I didn't think that group message. You can also see like people typing So I was like, this is fine Nobody can see me. Wait, can you see that on messenger?
