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.

Can you tell a joke? Treat women respectfully (not in a 'nice guy' way, in a general 'I'm not gonna say fucked up shit to her, and instead treat her like a normal human being')? Hold a conversation? Create a sense of comfort and fun times (fun does not have to cost much, you can get creative)?
This puts you miles ahead of some other guys with the right women. As a recently single guy, tentatively being open and flirty while watching the behaviours of others for comparison/research purposes, there's some real assholes out there, and apparently that's a pretty common experience for single women. The bar doesn't seem all that high these days, despite what certain corners of the internet would have you believe (and my god, algorithms get fucking weird for recently separated guys at least).
One thing I will say is that the aspects of your life that seem like liabilities in this post are changeable (with varying levels of effort), if you want to. Learning to drive is likely the lowest hanging fruit, which also gives you more options to try and improve the job situation and from there change your living situation.
It can get better homie. Just one foot in front of the other, in the direction you want to go.
