But Are You Happy? · Why Group Chats Feel So Exhausting (And What To Do About It) · 17 Jul 2026 podcast

So why do you think group chats sometimes feel more intense or performative than that one-on-one connection?

Yeah.

It's interesting you talk about social anxiety because I definitely can get socially anxious going to events and if there's people I don't know or, you know, it's a lot.

And it gets me thinking about is there such a thing called digital social anxiety and does that show up in groups?

Because it sounds like it does.

I feel like I have it.

It's hard.

And I definitely feel that because when you, especially when I've done like self-development programs or courses, you naturally get added into a group chat.

So, you know, there's that feeling of, oh, okay, there's all of these people I don't know

So I notice myself spending a bit more time thinking about my message and then so like that self-editing piece, like I'm doing that.

So that's one process and then you put it into the group and then you're kind of waiting to be like, will anyone reply or will anyone like it?

And then you're comparing how many likes did I get to other people and then you're just in this whole other vortex.

Yeah.

Yeah, definitely.

It was interesting.

You mentioned even, you talked about burden and it gets me thinking, like, do you think people are more driven by FOMO or not wanting to come across as rude when they feel this pressure to reply?

I think it depends on what level of empathy they have, right?

It's such a different world for me.

Oh my God.
