A father’s attempt to leave his family’s group chat has gone viral after his daughter shared a screenshot of his heartfelt message on Twitter. Dr. Thomas D’Orazio was feeling the pressure to respond to every message and post, so he decided to leave the chat. In his message, he expressed that he can’t keep up with the pressure to respond with “lol” or “like” to everything.
The message struck a chord with Twitter users and went viral, receiving over 14 million views. Many people could relate to the feeling of being overwhelmed by group chats and social media notifications. Allison D’Orazio, Dr. D’Orazio’s daughter, said that her father is introverted but loves to engage and interact with his family. He felt pressured to like every single message, and the stress was becoming too much.
Despite his announcement, Dr. D’Orazio did not actually leave the group chat. In fact, after the tweet went viral, he jokingly complained, “Oh great, now people are going to expect me to be funny all the time”. Twitter users shared similar stories about their own fathers and the pressure to keep up with social media. The story has brought laughter and joy to many, proving that even a simple message can resonate with people on a deeper level.
