With a friend or partner, it is important to bring up what might be bothering you to talk about it and see if you can reach an understanding, compromise or solution. If the dynamic of a group isn't working for you, multiple people changing is less likely and it might be better to just move on.
You can always give a more detailed neutral explanation if members of the group message you privately later. You don't have to mention how long you're leaving for either. Giving the possibility it might be a temporary exit softens the news and as time goes on, it usually won't matter if you rejoin or not.
