A small vent in the group chat went wrong and now everyone’s quiet

i dropped a quick vent in the group chat last night about how the project kept getting rescheduled. i thought it was just a little gripe, but the replies stopped after a few minutes and the usual jokes didn’t show up. today the chat’s basically silent except for work stuff, and i’m wondering if everyone read it as complaining instead of venting. i didn’t call anyone out, just said the back-and-forth was stressing me out. maybe it came off worse than it sounded in my head, or maybe people are just busy. either way, i feel bad that the tone shifted so fast. was it wrong to send that message at all, or should i follow up and clear the air?
