Are you in a WhatsApp group ?

[mcstoklasa]

As in are you and a few friends in an active WhatsApp conversation? It doesn't have to be WhatsApp could be Facebook messages or text, but something where there's a bunch of you in one convo so you get a lot of notifications.

It drives me a bit crazy. I'm not that popular or anything but am in a conversation group (for years) with two of my oldest friends. It's nice to keep in touch and I enjoy when something funny is shared but I dread it sometimes. I mainly dread it when I wake up and there's like fifty three messages where they've been talking for a bit updating on what they're doing and how their job/life/new developments are going. This means I have to go through it like :

"Oh that's cool about the job.. that's cool about decorating your room etc." And then update them on my own life. Which is fairly dull.

If I don't they ask why I've been quiet.

Am I just a selfish lazy bastard and abad friend? I love the guys but I'm not that interested in hearing about their updates and giving my updates every couple of days. It gets very tiresome very quickly but I guess im stuck now.

Yes but ours is centred around organising board game evenings, or originally going to see Star Wars secret cinema (had to organise fancy dress etc).

If I want to talk to friends for a "how are you" chat then I call, text or whatsapp them individually.

Does my mum and sisters count?

I've titled it my council of ladies if that counts for anything

I'm in an FB group chat with some girls I know from a forum. Most of the time it's good fun, but occasionally it they go off on a tangent something I don't really care about, I find it annoying.

Yeah I have six friends in a iPhone group chat and I love it most of time because it allows us to keep in touch and go plan a evening. But we talk way too much about politics and it gets annoying.
