Confessions From Your Group Chat MVP

We all pretend to be the hype person. You know — the one who types "LOL" five minutes after the joke and claps harder than they actually did.

How the Act Works

Step 1: Spot the joke. Step 2: Deploy a perfectly timed "haha" or GIF. Step 3: Move on with your life and never reference it again.

Why I Do It

Not malice — diplomacy. Keeping vibes chill, avoiding messy threads, and making sure no one feels personally cancelled. Plus, low-effort social cardio beats awkward silence.

Pro Tips for the Pros

Use abbreviated reactions (LOL, lmk, same) for max credibility. Master the "three-dot typing" illusion — it sells sincerity. And when in doubt, send a laughing sticker; it’s the social duct tape.
