Am I just introverted and antisocial?

Legitimate question. Not trying to be sarcastic or snarky. Why are people always posting about making group chats, snap groups, or wanting to FaceTime. That sounds like my literal hell 😅. Is it an age thing? I'm a millenial (34). I don't use snap chat. I don't have an iPhone but I would rather pluck out my own fingernails with tweezers than video chat with someone. And group chats are the worst. I spend most of my time figuring out how to ignore or leave them if I get added to one. Is it me? What's the appeal?

Haha I’m 33 and feel sorta the same way. I do have an iPhone and use Snapchat seldomly. But a group chat with strangers sounds horrible to me. I have group chats with friends but random people that don’t know me or my tone of voice? Pass. You’re not alone. And I would consider myself social and an extrovert. Just with the right people lol.

I'm glad I'm not alone! Lol. I always think things like that when I read those posts. My brother and sister in law use snapchat to share pics and videos of our nephew, so my husband and I recently started using it and kept laughing and calling each other old while we were trying to figure it out . 😅 And I guess it's kind of weird that's I'd rather just meet someone in person than video chat? That's just anxiety inducing for me. 😭

I'm also 34 and can confirm, I am exactly the same 😂 I don't mind WhatsApp or Messenger but never used Snap and to hell if you think your going to get me on a video call. I don't answer normal calls let alone video! I'm the person at the party who sits in the corner with the dog, sipping a beer and thumbing through the hosts film/book collection lol

I'm 31 and feel the same way! If there wasn't online food ordering we would never get carryout 😂

I’m glad I ain’t alone either lol. I hate video calls. I would rather text or snap chat some. Honestly i dont have time for group calls or video calls. But I do not like them things. Nope. Send me a text any day but not them

I’m the same I’m not sure if it’s a generational thing or it’s since Covid maybe but I’m just happy how I am with my small crowd and my small family ☺️

Same! I’m 39 so maybe it’s a generational thing. Apparently group chats and video chats are this new generation’s thing.

I’m 33 and I feel the same way lol

Omg, you posted my exact thoughts. I cringe so hard everytime I see it, like whyy? lol

Its probably some generational, some personality. Im 37 and can understand both sides of it. I tend to prefer ways of communicating that isn’t talking on the phone so group chats are my thing. You have to keep in mind that when us millennials were kids- being connected in these ways wasn’t a thing so it’s something we either choose to adapt and do or don’t. But no shade either way!

I feel that way but that’s cuz I’m autistic not antisocial… like group projects in school are the absolute worst! lol

I grew tired of the group chats after the women in there decided to form cliques and have arguments over silly thing. Most of them were younger than me. I’d sit back and watch it unfold lol. If they weren’t like this I’d be in them more. I’d rather not have the drama and enjoy the little peace I have 😎

Hahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 same 🙃 I group chat with my 2 besties, which is us sharing memes and trying to catch up.. but that's the limit 😆

@Sydney my 16 year old uses snapchat. He got his first smart phone last year and got me to install it so we could snap but it was awful haha. I ended up deleting it.

@Kelsey the only one I call and order is Chinese food.
