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.

Why so insecure?

Upbringing. That's pretty much always the answer for this kind of thing. People learn what to expect from the world in their formative years. If they are taught by their community to expect pain, they will expect pain, and from there it's just a question of their coping style, which is usually also taught to them. (Screaming, violence, substance dependency, etc.)
