Is it normal that chatrooms always contain the same 5 characters?

Every chatroom I've ever been in since I was 13 and chatting in those AOL rooms, seem to contain the saaaammmeee 5 types of people.

1. The Red Queen: This is the one with the BIG head, very full of herself and often completely wrong. However most other's are afraid to challenge her opinion because there'd be hell to pay. The only one that does is the newcomer, who recognizes that any "authority" here is an illusion.

2. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum: The two who always agree with each other no matter how inane the comment of the other. These two spend most of their time kissing each other's ass and egging each other on, much to the disgust of the onlooker.

3. The Mad Hatter: He's the guy going "Look at me!! Someone talk to me! Hey you, you're a jerk! Respond to me!" Basically the village idiot who no one takes seriously.

4. The Caterpillar: The guy who everyone basically respects and likes because he's pretty neutral, and is only there to stir people up for his own mild amusement.

5. Alice: The newcomer, who recognizes that this world is completely backwards; these people don't know each other, though they think they do...these people don't see the silliness of their dynamic, though she does. Since she's not part of it, they will put aside their differences and attack her as one. They don't want weeds in THEIR bed!

Those who are part of a chatroom probably don't see this dynamic, and will vote "no". But there must be some out there who see through the nonsense.

    So you got into IIN chat, huh?

    Eh. I don't think you can fit everyone in those neat little boxes.

    I can!

    See through the nonsense, that is. New users fit into a few categories too. Lurkers, trolls, brats, those who only talk about sex, wannabes, easy going, curious, kind, etc. I generally don't assume too much. Give the benefit of the doubt and try to be friendly. However some try too hard to control the room and do not let the room be what it is.

    It's a shame, some of the regulars are really nice people.

    Then there's me, the people who want to enter but never really do, then eventually go in and just sit there being awkward

    I used to go on there a lot and actually TALK.

    Now, I only go on for a couple of seconds and leave... I wonder what happened to me.

    -Maybe it's because I hide in my closet to read lemons in peace now...- (Actually, I just regained my shyness for live chats again.)

    Unfortunately, my typing skills preclude me from joining a chat room, though you have made it sound like fun.
