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.

I'll never understand that reaction. I completely understand seeing that and wanting to kill yourself, but I never thought the happy couple should die.
I see those kinds of couples and my only thoughts are usually some form of "lucky lucky. I'm such a worthless piece of shit." Lol
Armchair psychology by your local dipshit:
Depression tends to be irrational, and thus thought processes around it tend to be irrational.
"if i can't have it, nobody should have it"
also applies to everyone who opposes progress because they had it hard in life
That's a lot of people. They're a fucking problem.
Well I've had to deal with them my whole life, so you should too.
If I was in power we'd deal with them alright. Forced relocation to Bitterville, with a dictatorial mayor hell bent on fixing nothing.
It probably depends on your personality, mainly agreeableness.
Agreeable people direct their anger and frustration at themselves, while those who are disagreeable direct it at others.
That makes a lot of sense and I do tend to score high in agreeableness when I've taken those silly personality tests
The experience probably felt painful (literally) for Anon so his lizard brain immediately wanted to strike back at what's causing the pain. Doesn't make much sense of course so he didn't actually do it, probably felt bad about it too.
Now imagine you had more than a good shot, and you where the one who rejected her. How would you feel, looking back and seeing you where an idiot?
Fucking hell, you have to forgive your past self for being a dumbass. Everyone's past self was an idiot literally because they didn't know what present self knows.
Forgive your past and focus on working your present for what you want for your future self.
It's not hippy-dippy bullshit, it's literally the foundational principle for doing anything in life like getting fitter, starting a business, learning a new skill / subject, improving your dating prospects, etc.
If you only wallow in your past mistakes and not doing the teeny-tiniest improvements of literally 1% or 0.1%, then you're not living, you're just dying slowly. Living is much more fun.
You live and you learn, hopefully. But if you can do it once, you can do it again!
