Same old same old. Ask them - ring them up or go and see them. Maybe they are busy - did you say you needed a reply within 24 hours? Maybe they have other friendship groups. Does this group include the one we said you should dump (Chantelle?)?

No different friends. Like you've advised don't speak to Chantelle unless she speaks to me or tell her no.

Because they are busy and will get back to you when they get the time?

Thats why people have notifications so they can read a message privately and the person who sent it cant see its been read

You really need to be more 'Elsa'. About everything really.

last month?

Did they speak to you or message you?

albaqwerty

The last time you all spoke was a month ago yet here you are wondering about 24hrs silence?!

Maybe they've just been too busy. Why haven't they been in touch with you?

It was to ask them to a concert and one did.

If this a group chat presumably none of them have added anything for a month. Maybe they're not bothering with it any more.

Is this going to run to the usual 200+ replies.

because you are incredibly annoying?

Question Author

They normally do and I haven't done anything they replied last time

newmodarmy

Maybe they're busy working all day and doing things like housework, shopping and cooking in the evenings.

Was your message clear, with punctuation, such that they knew what you were asking and that you were seeking a prompt response?

Maybe send a follow up if you haven't heard back by Sunday. Or speak to them.

Abbey, you'll have to accept that some/ quite a few of your friends,in various groups, aren't all that bothered about replying to you as quickly as you would like. There could be a variety of reasons for this-but we, and you, would only be guessing what those reasons are.
