Group chats can be fun, but they can also be tiring if you have too many notifications or can't keep up. When it comes to messages with friends and interactions on SNS, the way you say something can change how it is received.
Even when a chat feels tiring, children sometimes push themselves to stay because they worry others will think it is strange to leave it alone.
Being connected all the time can wear you out
Because group chats are always there, it is easy to lose time and feel pressure to keep reading or replying. That can make it hard to rest.
Taking some distance does not mean you are rude. Sometimes it is exactly how you protect your energy and peace of mind.
Distance can protect you too
Turn off notifications, don't look at them for a while, talk to an adult. Even small steps like this can make things easier.
It is more important to protect your heart than to force yourself to stay.
If group chats feel tiring, think of one way to make them quieter, such as muting notifications for a while.
At Digital Kodomo BASE, we believe that being apart is just as important as being connected. Children who can rest are able to continue working longer.
