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.

Anon is depressed and self-sabotaged because he doesn't think he's worthy of love. Therapists should really advertise in 4chan.

but this time I don't care

I mean, maybe he's just happy on his own for now? It's ok to have moments of doubt here and there (re: "staring at my PC" , "did it do it right") but just because they broke up with their gf and went back to their self improvement routine doesn't automatically mean self sabotage and all that.

I'd agree if his "self-improvement routine" wasn't just hitting the gym.

Wow, I had no idea this was well known by anyone but me and here's two other people out in the wild who know it! Dope! Also love their song Because I'm Me.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

I think it was a popular remix around 2010, because I get the reference too but don't know why.

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I stuffed it up though. The line is "That boy needs therapy" not the boy. But it's a 25 year old song. I can't remember all things.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Ha! I don't know shit about fuck. I thought it was maybe like a decade old. Honestly makes me love it so much more knowing it was even older. Now if only I could read 25 years ago and not have my dumb brain think of the 80s instead of the early 2000s...

If they're happier with their gym routine than they are with their girlfriend, she's the wrong girlfriend. Anon did it right.

could also be aromantic and just doesn't know it

Not fake, definitely gay.

Fuck, I was kinda doing alright, making friends, getting out, part of a big kink/group sex community, then I met my current GF, I haven't been to a sex party in months, I feel miserable 50% of the time, honestly most difficult person I've ever been with because of the way she sees life and relationships, wondering if I should break up with her.

Only thing is I think I'm fooling myself Re how miserable I was

My only piece of relationship advice is to avoid online relationship advice. Particularly from a greentext community.

[–] KyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zone 50 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lol, see, there is good advice on a greentext community.

[–] dicksteele@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

We can call it the greentext paradox.

Good advice does not come from greentext communities, but that statement is good advice.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

You should definitely break up with her, you're not on an emotional maturity level to be in any serious relationship. She should be set free to find someone grown.

[–] Sibshops@lemm.ee 30 points 2 months ago

Breaking up wasn't a bad idea. If he wasn't invested in the relationship, he did her a favor.

On the road to realizing he’s gay

These fake thought experiments convincing yourself a cute Asian GF isn't actually good for you anyway can do that.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

Holy hell, 4chan is worse on the brain than lead.

[–] noot_noot@feddit.org 6 points 2 months ago

He finally realized the true way to life a proper life as a man

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 4 points 2 months ago

Sounds like they figured themselves out
