Anyone with a smartphone is familiar with the love-hate relationship you have with your group chat. While they can be incredibly helpful, they can also make you want to shut off your phone for a while. Here are the eight major stops on the emotional roller coaster of your group chat.
1. All of your friends, all in one place, all the time.
When you and your squad suddenly all have smartphones, and therefore the ability to not only receive those little blue message bubbles but also for the sacred ~*group chat*~. The perfect place to spill all of the tea.
2. When you suddenly have 67 new messages.
Picture this: you haven't checked your phone in seven minutes and there is suddenly 67 new messages. In order to contribute anything to the conversation, you know how to read through the whole thread. By the time you get done, the conversation has already moved on.
3. When the overload of incoming messages drains your phone battery and you're S.O.L.
4. When someone sends a fire selfie to the group.
You get to see your besties looking amazing as usual, but they're also feeling themselves. YAAAAS.
5. When you send the funniest meme of your life and no one even acknowledges it.
It's almost as if your friends have something better to do...
6. There's always that one friend who ghosts on the conversation for a few days...
I will not hesitate to start a search party for you.
7. When you are ignoring the group chat.
Because sometimes you're just too busy.
8. But at the end of the day, you're incredibly thankful to be able to reach your squad at the touch of your finger-tips. No matter where they are.
Because we all know, friends are family and you can accomplish anything with them by your side.
