Just after some advice pls. My friend added me to a general chit chat WhatsApp group. There is about 12 in the group I know them all but I’m not close to any apart From the one that added me. They are a tight group with kids growing up together etc and they go to Spain each year together apart from me in the group. I like them all but I never add anything to the chat at all because I never really fully feel comfortable doing so. I have muted the chat now and don’t really mention it to my friend that added me. I usually meet her once a week for a dog walk but we never discuss it even tho she is active on it every week and goes out with some of them and post vids/pics etc - I’m not excluded from what they do I’m sure I could join in but I feel like if I haven’t been close to them for the past 10 years it’s not going to happen now and it would take up a lot of energy trying to be friendly making an effort etc. I think my friend thought it was nice adding me to the group but I just don’t meet up with the others and never get invited to their trip to Spain. So should I leave the group? On one hand I keep feeling like it’s petty to do so but on the other hand I guess if being truthful it’s not nice seeing/reading pics convos and feeling like I just don’t feel comfortable to join in! Even tho I’m not particularly bothered by not being part of this group, but I guess there is fomo there!!! It all feels like it’s taking up way too much time and energy from me. Any advice would be welcome or if you’ve been in a similar situation. Thank you. X
