Dear Mary: I want to get out of a group chat that stresses me but am afraid of offending people
Briefly

The author expresses feelings of frustration regarding a group chat their friend created, containing individuals they don't want to engage with. Despite recognizing the members as nice, the author is uncomfortable with the constant barrage of personal updates and interactions that they feel obligated to follow. The author desires a way to exit the chat without offending their friend or the others, highlighting the difficulty of managing digital social circles and personal boundaries amidst close friendships.
While I appreciate my friend's intention in adding me to the group, the constant updates and emotional exchanges feel overwhelming, and I prefer to limit my interactions online.
It's important to communicate personal boundaries, but I'm hesitant; every message in the group feels like a reminder of my reluctance to participate in their daily lives.
