If you have Facebook Messenger (or any other SNS), then you must be a member of certain group chats where you talk about senseless stuff and your phone just buzzes all day. I’m a member of a few group chats with members ranging from my mom and siblings to schoolmates to workmates to friends in different fields or categories from a much older time in the past (like kindergarten schoolmates??). Recently I was added to a group chat of former mIRC (Message Internet Relay Chat) chatters. I’m a self-confessed mIRC addict and I almost didn’t graduate from college because I chose hanging out in Internet cafes chatting to strangers instead of attending my classes. But that’s another story. So a friend added me there and in total, I’m a member of 20 group chats.
I seldom join in group chat conversations. I just read what they talk about, click a few likes, smile a little but basically just ignore what’s going on. Some people are born to keep the group buzzing. Me? I’m just on the sideline, quietly keeping tabs on who are arguing. Lol And there are always those who leave the group. ‘XXXXX left the group.’ would always spark….gossips! Others tend to get offended by those members who don’t seem to know that they can mute the conversation and well, avoid being ‘disturbed’. If you leave the group, chances are, people talked behind your back. Lol
Have you ever left a group chat?

I left the Humanatic group chat when I can't get any help from its members. I have several groups now and most are muted.

I left a group when it was not relevant to me. I also opted to mute some of the groups I am currently in.

A few people have added me in a group chat but I always get out. I don't like them because sometimes you only see a number of someone and have no clue who they are plus I am not into chats like that. I don't want to hear my phone buzzing all day long

one brother of mine always adds me to his personal group chat. although we siblings have our own group chat, i dislike being brought tothe chat messenger because my brother tags me, and i do not know anything he is chatting about. i cannot leave the group because my brother is a very sensitive person; i just ignore it or switch off the notifications.

I only have two group chats; one for the family and one for the members of our village. I also am not active; just read and comment when I find a topic interesting.

I am not active in any group chats except our family group chat for exchange gift and wishlist for Christmas and other family events. Does this qualify?

I've left group chats when they were no longer relevant. If you want to talk about me....that's your concern....not mine.
