That's what occurred with one father who went viral on Monday for a text telling his family that he couldn't keep up with the steady stream of messages in their group chat. Allison D'Orazio shared a screenshot of a text her father, Thomas, sent their family explaining he couldn't handle the "pressure" of interacting with their every text and photo. "I can't keep up with the pressure of always having to lol or like or heart everyone's random thoughts, pics, and amusements," the text read. "For all future texts: I love them, laugh at them, or like them unless it's bad, then I dislike them," Thomas added. "In perpetuity. I can't live with this pressure. I'm out." The screenshot of Thomas' message went viral, and the tweet garnered more than 420,000 likes on the platform as of Thursday afternoon.

"He's so kind and engaged with our lives — he's like the perfect human being — and I think it was stressing him out that he can't respond to all the messages." She told Today that her father didn't leave the group chat — but there's no telling if he's muted it.
