Just Say That You Hate Jada. And Keep Me in the Group Chat. It’s Instructive.
“Don’t conflate your exhaustion with [your perception of] her unreasonableness.” — Marie Talusma (Bluecentric)
Group chats are annoying. I can totally admit that. I’m in a few, and I’ve muted the notifications for most of them.
Not only do you get too much information, it’s the constant barrage of information — a lot of it foolishness. If it’s not “Good morning,” “Happy Sabbath!” *random Bible verse* texts in the family group chats, it’s previously answered questions in the Facebook group chats and random gifs, stickers and memes in the other WhatsApp chats. My phone literally does not have any more space or internal storage for the inanities. But I often still stay in these chats because I don’t want to miss anything that might just pertain to me.
That’s how I feel about this Will and Jada group chat that we’ve been added to without our permission.
So many people (Luvvie and Jerrilyn et al) are asking — pleading — to be let out of the group chat. “Stop sharing so much,” we say. We’re learning more than we ever cared to learn. “I don’t need to know you two are separated. Every month it’s something.”
