The part about it being unforgivable sounds extreme. How can there be "consequences" for simply temporarily opting out of a chat app?

Losing touch with friends for a while definitely sucks but if you need a break from literally an app then real friends will accept that.

I left way more than once, so leaving several times and expecting people to accept you again and again sounds like a chore and not everyone is going to keep accepting you.

I don't think other people see it that way. It's very common for people on discord to disappear for days/months then pop back in.

Yeah I suppose thats true, I was very much in a different mental state when I left, so much so I deleted my account, one person I was good friends with checked in with my phone number and made sure I was okay. I only wanted to share my experience because some others viewing might be in a similar state I was in, terrified of technology and *almost left it all behind. I have very good people though and I couldnt be more thankful. :)
