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.

one day get super pissed off

This was the moment anon decided that their own value was greater than the perceived versions of others in his social circle anon had manufactured in his head. He was confident he was worth more than those manufactured constructs. Everything after that were expressions of that confidence he had in himself.

Confidence is attractive. Now it can go two ways though:

  • Benevolent confidence - where you are kindhearted and you wish to build others up because you see no risk to yourself in doing so.
  • Malicious confidence - where you tear others down because you see everyone a risk to yourself.

Both can lead to success by varying definitions of the word, but I know when I get to the end of my life I'd much rather hae arrived there on a path of benevolence.
