Being "in the loop" can be a blessing and a curse. If you're the friend who's plugged in, you probably feel somewhat responsible for informing your less-inclined friends. You may find yourself deep in the trenches of explaining memes, discourse, and the latest trend that everyone seems to be a part of. Your friends rely on you for secondhand information. This is a deeply important role in culture.
On the other hand, being the plugged-in friend can also mean that your brain is full of useless tidbits, facts, figures, and sound bytes. You may find it hard to sleep at night, what with all the noise rattling around in there. It would be wise to strike a balance between the two, being just informed enough to sound cool among your Gen Z coworkers, but not so online that your REM suffers. Here at Memebase, we support you on your journey. You can start with these tweets.
