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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"There are always people like me, who enjoy reading the comments"
I like that, even if you disagree or point out my flaws; it's all good. It's why I left reddit. It's refreshing to have someone point out things instead of just downboating you. I'll admit, if you read through my comments, the first thought is--you're full of shit, it doesn't surprise me. I like to write here, like a diary, of my experiences in life because the older I get the more I realize how abnormal my life was--is.
This is essentially, why I try to do it. I think there would be a lot less miscommunication, and overall better discussion athmosphere, if people just stopped to say, "hey, you sound like [this], maybe you did not mean it", instead of just downvoting - or worse, starting to hurl insults around. Nobody learns a thing, if there is no good feedback given. I know this sometimes just pisses people off, but I think it is still worth to try. Sometimes I get discussions like this one, afterall!
And I think I understand, what you mean with the difficulty, of conveying an unordinary life. I like to keep things more private here, but every time I explain the downward spiral of unfortunate things, and new and new chronic illnesses, my life has been so far, to someone, it sounds like a bad sitcom...
It sounds like you've had your fair share of struggles. Happy to have you here. I like a good chat and I don't take personally. And besides my writing style has been a bit of a mess, I know other languages and still am studying others--it's like a hobby at this point. I'm kind of interested in reading about your life with the last statement.
