You can literally feel when a group chat stops being your safe space anymore

I don’t think friendship endings always happen through fights. Sometimes they happen through energy changes. You slowly notice people replying differently to you. Jokes hitting differently. Plans happening without you. Messages getting ignored while everyone else gets responses. And the worst part is that nobody says anything directly. So technically you can’t even confront anyone because nothing “major” happened. But emotionally? You can feel it. I recently opened one of my old friend group chats and realized I now read conversations more carefully before speaking. That honestly hurt to admit. Because there was a time I used to text there without thinking twice. Now I type. Delete. Rethink. Stay silent. And I think many friendships quietly die long before people officially stop talking.
