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.

i think he misused the word but it gets the point across
So many of these guys consider themselves Patrick Bateman irl, I'd absolutely not be surprised if it wasn't just "I wish I was happy despite having no ambitions", but rather he considers himself a "temporarily embarassed achiever"
I miss having ambition
I'm wondering what the hell he did at the gym to piss everyone off?
I assumed he just meant women in general.
And that's the thing: If you only go to the gym to pick up women because your horrible personality won't cut it, you'll go home disappointed.
That's a pattern I generally see with these self-loathing greentexts: The posters have "ambitions" (read: feel entitled to success, money, and/or women) but don't want to put in consistent effort or figure out why things are going wrong for them. Instead they project all the blame onto the rest of the world and spiral into depression.
When they do decide to put in the effort you usually get something along these lines:
> be me
> ugly and everyone hates me
> go to the gym to get a bod I can pick up females with bc they're all shallow
> actually get into working out
> become friends with the gym bros
> now I feel great, have a sixpack and real friends
> itsthateasy.tif
Walked through a few instagram recordings.
Threw around the weights and destroyed 50% of the gym equipment
I get the depression part, but what did he do to get so hated by everyone he knows?
Beats me, he seems like he spreads joy wherever he goes.
Or it's just the depression talking.
It’s 4chan. They assuredly developed some antisocial behaviors and some opinions on [a race, creed, skin color, political affiliation, sexual preference, nationality, incredibly niche video game that no one has heard of beyond the viscerally gut wrenching rape scene, etc.] that led them toward ignominy.
First time I’ve seen the word ignominy. That’s a good one!
It may actually be part of the depression. We don't know that anyone hates him, just that he believes they do.
I learned to not be hated by shutting up in places where it matters, and pretending I don't exist. I just do whatever people want of me, assume I'm wrong about anything I say, and only speak if forced to
I'm curious how 4chan posters react to this kind of a post I am assuming the average age is like 35 on that site now. Its so pointless, blah blah blah im 20 and i think everything is the end of the world anyone relate? You're 20 and lost some friends, it sucks but its not over and you havent been "left behind".
age 20? that's nearly half way to 50 which is half way to 100 which is practically game over man
At the rate things are going, more like 20, 40, 60-80.
That was my life. Then I found a woman who loves me. I have a lot to rebuild, sure. I was badly affected by the lockdowns and the depression they caused. I don't think it's hopeless, but I realize that the chapters of my life ahead will be far simpler and more isolated than those behind.
I am in a similar situation. Except mine was forced to leave the country over strict immigration policy, as she isn't a citizen here.
I mean, that sucks, but that's not the end of the world. You can still communicate with her, and either of you can emigrate.
I visited her a few weeks ago. Still cost me £700. So not something I can be doing often. She is trying to get back closer to me.
I get that completely.
dont please anyone not worth the rime
If you have a job, you can enjoy your spare time how you please. Although maybe be less hateable...
