Every Group chat Has These 5 people ─Which One Are You?

Group chats; our chaotic, entertaining and occasionally overwhelming but always lively digital ecosystem. Don't we just find ourselves in them? Whether it is friends, family, church, coworkers pretending to bond outside work or the group that never quite died after college, there's always a cast of characters you can count on.

And no matter who you are, you're one of these 5 characters.

Alrighty, Let's expose them all.

1. The "Ghost" 👻

   
   

Oooo the official group chat lurker

• Reads every message within 5 seconds

  
  

• Never replies─ maybe a mysterious LOL or 👍 two weeks after a heated debate or already happened get together.

  
  

• You forget they are in the group... Until they pop up with " wait what happened" on the day they decide to socialize.

Is this you? If your last contribution was in 2023, a "oh wow" or "okay" in the in the last 6 months, we see you. You my friend are a legend.

2. The Meme Dealer

   

The live force of the group, the comic relief who keeps the group laughing and engaged with their witty memes and GIFs

• The unofficial content curators

  
  

• They don't do sentences but replies only in GIFs, Stickers, Memes and TikToks.

  
  

• Never indulge in serious topics/conversations but always drops the perfect SpongeBob reaction every time.

  
  

• They are always on the lookout for latest trends to share with the group.

  
  

• Their gallery is 80% screenshots and 20% judgmental Kermit memes.

If the group has been dead for days, trust them to revive it with relatable tweet at 2.am. Thanks to them we also have a few memes saved on our phones.

3. The Chaos Agent🔥

   
   
   
   

You never know what they are going to say or the next controversy they are fueling or fanning or even brewing-- and that's the point.

• Instigates drama: oh, how much they love this. Always stirring the pot and fans the flames while the pot burns.

  
  

• Frequently drops hot takes scandalous confessions unprompted and post inflammatory comments to see the fireworks that ensue.

• Sends 5-minute voice note starting with "Okay, don't freak out but..."

The drama lives here; every group needs a chaos goblin to keep things spicy. The chaos agent keeps the group lively but occasionally on edge and tense

4. The Over-Sharer📜

   
   
   
   

These guys treat the group like their personal reality show.

• Shares way too much information about their personal life.

  
  

• Updates everyone like it's a daily vlog. "Y'all I just got a new pet, her name is Sparkles" "Had sandwich for breakfast", "I had a weird dream, and I need to unpack"

  
  

• Sends outfit selfies for feedback, and brunch pics and cloud pics and...

  
  

We didn't ask Precious_ but now we are invested in your daily drama.

5. The group Dad/Mom

   

The glue and the voice of reason and authority that keeps the group together and in check

• Sends reminders about birthdays, deadline, appointments and group plans no one committed to.

  
  

• "Guys it's been six days since anyone replied. Is everyone alive?"

  
  

• They provide support and guidance when needed.

  
  

• Helps maintain a positive and respectful atmosphere. Reminds us to stay on topic, calm down or just chill out.

  
  

Without them, the group would crumble into unconfirmed plans and forgotten birthdays. 👏We salute your service.
