Being sort of ignored in the group WhatsApp

[Turnedoutsunnyagain]

I’m probably being a bit paranoid here, not sure!
Mums group WhatsApp, play dates, parties are organised and sometimes just general chit chat.
Recently I’ve noticed that it doesn’t feel like any messages I contribute are replied to as much as others are. I often think ‘Are my messages being seen’ as messages can come after mine and then people will
just reply to those.
Has anyone else had this? Feeling like I cba to bother getting involved really!

it doesn’t feel like any messages I contribute are replied to as much as others are.

but you are not completely ignored, people do reply?
if you ask a question, and no-one replies, it's annoying but if it's just general chit chat, does it really need a reply?

If you want a response ask a direct question. My group chats are all muted, I miss loads of messages and sip in and out.

I have this on one of the WA groups I'm in, but in our case the woman in question is attention-seeking and seems to use WA to fill the void - she'll ask on there (with 50 of us) instead of googling or asking a smaller group, inevitably accompanied by a picture of her kid, and I can feel a lot of us rolling our eyes.

So it could be nothing, but if it's a large group and you're a dominant voice on there, perhaps think about whether you are part of the problem.

No, definitely not a dominant voice I’d say, not a dominant personality. My replies are around the same amount as others.

This is how I feel about MN! Especially when I think I’ve said something particularly insightful (quite often ) and am ignored, only to find 10 posts later, someone says exactly the same thing and gets quoted multiple times!! (Lighthearted, btw )

@watcherintherye 😂Makes you feel invisible

I have felt this too both on mumsnet & mums WhatsApp groups. Good to know it’s not just me at least!

This happens to me on a WA group. I post something and then the same person always jumps in posting some attention seeking slosh immediately, deluges everyone with photos of their kid or house, and my post gets lost. The first couple of times I thought it was a coincidence but now I think she's either socially hopeless or just really doesn't like me.

@PuffinsRocks Who, the woman who jumps right in front of you with posts?
Ive gone quieter, no point 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
