Ep 56 Blue Ticks, Group Chats & Reply Anxiety… Why Is Messaging So Intense?

Welcome back to the 56th episode of We've Got This...Maybe! The podcast!


In this episode we’re diving into the chaos of modern messaging etiquette and asking why something so simple feels so complicated now.

From WhatsApp group chats and blue ticks to the unspoken pressure to reply instantly, we talk about how messaging has completely changed the way we communicate. Why does reading a message suddenly come with expectations?

We also take it back to the pre-WhatsApp days from group emails and sending the same message to multiple people, to the effort it took just to make plans. Somehow it all felt simpler… or did it?

This is a funny, nostalgic and very relatable conversation about how we message, the little habits we all have (but don’t admit), and the ways we try to avoid being “called out” for reading something and not replying.

Whether you’re someone who replies instantly, leaves people on read, or mutes every group chat going, this one will feel very familiar.

We'd love to hear from you so drop us a message on socials or email us at wgtmpodcast@gmail.com .
