How it's used
Used primarily in digital contexts to describe exiting software, applications, or online groups. It carries a sense of physically or virtually stepping back or withdrawing from a space. While it can imply movement, it is rarely used for physical movement in public spaces, where words like 行開 or 走人 are preferred.
Examples
You should hurry up and exit the group.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to mean leaving a physical room or building, as it sounds unnatural and overly technical. Use 離開 or 行開 for physical departure instead.
