Thanks WhatsApp!

The Riddler

I have been in a WhatsApp group for a while now, but never really fitted in. No surprise there! Recently though I have noticed how often I get ignored. There have been a few occasions where meetings have been arranged and I have been unable to go. Usually because of anxiety, so I just make some poor excuses and say I can’t make it, but get absolutely nothing back. Then another guy says he can’t make and 30 seconds later everyone else is messaging saying “oh no, come on sort something out” etc etc.

A similar thing happened this week, so I decided to drop out of the group because I find it too stressful. However, I didn’t realise that WhatsApp messages everyone in the group to say “so and so has left the group”  Now I’m getting grief for leaving.

Struggling to know what to do.

    Hi aidie, it was a group I was pulled into a few years ago because our kids went to nursery together. The Mums went out a few times and so one of the other Dads set up this group. I always felt I was invited by default rather than want. I have said on the forum before that I found the group difficult because it was all geared up to arrange nights out, revolving around drinking and curry, neither of which I particularly enjoy. Especially drinking culture.
