How can I break the silence in my group chat?

I’ve noticed my group chats have become completely silent, even though we all used to talk daily. It feels like we’re all just waiting for someone else to send the first message, and that initial awkwardness makes it harder to break the silence.

Yeah I notice it too. I sent a goofy meme last week and it just died in the chat. Maybe the first message now feels heavier than it used to.

I tried a small plan: a rotating prompt everyone answers with one highlight of the day. It got a handful of replies for a day, then nothing again. Not sure if the format or the interest faded.

Is the real problem the silence or have we just drifted to other stuff? It used to be daily, and now it feels like a ritual that never starts.

I went for a long walk and thought about starting a new tone for the chat—short, tiny updates rather than big topics. Not sure if that would help, but the vibe feels off and I’m hesitating to push it again.
