This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Sure, but being independent is still an important general life skill. You can rely on other people under normal circumstances, and that's certainly not a bad thing, but there will always be scenarios in life where you need to figure things out for yourself. If you're paralyzed with anxiety when that happens, that means there's a skill you unfortunately were unable to learn that is now causing an issue.
