I Tried Chitchat.gg to Meet New People

I’ll be honest, I was skeptical. The idea of hopping on a video chat with a total stranger sounded like a recipe for awkward silences or weird vibes. But after hearing about Chitchat.gg from a few friends (and seeing it all over my feed), I decided to give it a try.

Spoiler: It was surprisingly fun, and yes, a little unpredictable, in the best way.

First Impressions

No sign-up, no profile, no pressure. That was the first thing I noticed. You just go to the site, pick text or video, and boom—you’re connected. It felt refreshingly simple, especially compared to most social platforms that ask for your life story before you even start.

My First Few Chats

I won’t lie, the first couple were brief. Some people were shy. Others just skipped. That’s part of the experience. But then I landed on a conversation with someone from the Netherlands who told me about their weekend trip to a windmill festival. We ended up talking for almost 30 minutes.

A few chats later, I connected with a university student who was studying for finals. We traded study tips, procrastination memes, and somehow ended up debating which snacks are scientifically best for late-night cramming.

What Surprised Me Most

There was something liberating about talking to people who didn’t know me, didn’t follow me, and had zero expectations. It wasn’t about followers, clout, or aesthetics—it was just... people being people.

I laughed, I listened, I even opened up a little. And it didn’t feel weird.

The Awkward Moments (Because Let’s Be Real)

Yes, there were some strange interactions. One person connected and immediately played a harmonica. Another asked if I believed in ghosts before saying anything else. But that randomness is kind of the point. It keeps things interesting, and honestly, it's part of the charm.

Would I Use It Again?

Absolutely. Not every chat was a hit, but enough of them were thoughtful, funny, or unexpectedly meaningful to make me come back. I still don’t know exactly who I’ll talk to next—and that’s exactly why I like it.

Final Thought

Trying Chitchat.gg reminded me that connection doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes all it takes is showing up, saying hi, and seeing where the moment leads.

Would I recommend it? If you’re open-minded and a little curious—definitely. It’s kind of like talking to the internet, and sometimes, the internet talks back in the best possible way.
