12 Things Only People Who Constantly Group Chat Will Understand

​1. Your group chat only blows up when you literally cannot look at it. ​You're in class, a meeting, or out to dinner with your boyfriend's family, and suddenly your friends have to talk about all of the things. 

2. When you actually want your group chat to blow up, no one is around. ​

​3. When you finally have time to catch up and read what everyone's been discussing, it's exhausting. How the hell did this group chat become longer than ​War and Peace?​ 

​4. The hardest math problem you've ever done? Group chat plans. ​OK, so are we meeting at 7:00 or 8:45? Amanda said 7:00, but Deanna said 8:45 and that we're going to meet at her apartment. Wait, so now we're meeting at Brian's apartment? This goes on for hours. 

​5. You've been sassed for missing ​one​ thing that someone said in your chat. ​Because you didn't feel like scrolling up and reading all 175 text messages, OK.

6. Having a ridiculous number of text messages when you look at your phone for the first time in an hour, but none are just for you. ​Nope, I'm not popular, I'm just in a group chat.

7. When two people start having a conversation with each other instead of texting privately. Cool. Guess you guys are the only two people in here.

​8. When you're scrolling up to read everything you've missed and a new text comes in so your phone automatically brings you back to the bottom. ​Why do bad things happen to good people?

​9. Having someone in your chat who doesn't participate and isn't really in your friend group anymore. ​Do you start a new chat without them, or is that rude? But why are they still in this? Then you just pray that you get the notification they've removed themselves from the chat.

​10. Texting the wrong group chat. ​HOLY FUCKING SHIT, WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?!!!!!

​11. When you text your friend privately and she doesn't answer you but responds in the group chat. 

​12. When you're trying to sleep but your phone doesn't stop vibrating. ​You try so hard to ignore it but all you can do is put your phone on silent and think, ​Holy shit, don't they have a bedtime? Until you finally fall asleep.
