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.

People should dance more. It really does make things a bit more tolerable.

Dancing with trusted people, yes. But in many/most places, how you dance is subject to social stigma, which is much much worse than any benefit of dancing.

And if you only know the stigma-attached dancing, then it poisons "healthy" dance for you, because humans think of the bad thing first.

My Latino friends say the stigma doesn't exist.

My doubt is palpable...

People always like to think of themselves that they aren't judgy and totally inclusive and tolerant. But it's a natural human behavior to judge others and make it known. Most people think of themselves and say they don't judge, but in the background, subconsciously, still do it.

So your doubt is probably justified. You have to get the real answer from how your friends actually behave, not from what they think or say.
