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.

You are one of them. To them at least.

As I age I find it incredibly awful/amazing how other people I meet now, basically lecture me about myself. Without knowing anything about me. They just make up a story in their head about me, and run with it.

Oftentimes they will straight up ignore what I have told them about myself, or twist it in these fantastical ways that are clearly projections and fantasies of their fears, but are likely them self-reporting about their own shame about themselves.

Still better to not have to face it out-in-the-open this side of (recognized/recognizable)change for the better. Don't see where I said anything about you, but you didn't hold back about me, did you? Am I supposed to thank you?

I'm not talking to you personally, or asking anything of you or asking for anything from you.

It's a comment on the internet dude. It's not personal in any way.

it's just so weird to me that people seem to think internet comments about their person.

esp on greentext... which is just people bullshitting. none of it is supposed to be legit personal.
