The website in jkjudgex's answer looks like it can be very useful, as does JustMe's list, but there's no need to know them all. Most people only use a few from those lists.
The most commonly used ones include
lol (laugh out loud) - the equivalent to a real-life chuckle or laugh
brb - be right back
g2g OR gtg - got to go
cya - see you
ttyl - talk to you later
cuz - because
rofl - rolling on the floor laughing
If somebody uses an abbreviation that you've never heard of, don't be afraid to just ask them what it means. I had to do that several times when I first started using AIM, and it's no big deal.

BRB (Be right back), IMO (In my opinion sometimes In my humble opinion IMHO), ttyl (talk to ya later), are some of the common ones that I use. sometimes I'll put bbiab (be back in a bit), but generally i don't mind typing :).
