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.

Some of us have too much trauma for being made fun of as children for doing cringe worthy shit. It's not fun and whimsical for us to be forced into it as adults. It literally hurts to expose ourselves to that again.
Yea, I was too. I grew up autistic in the rural US South. I know all about getting made fun of for being "cringe".
The thing is though, holding onto that trauma and letting it dictate your life instead of learning to cope with it and move on is incredibly unhealthy.
Good for you buddy. It's been a few decades and I've learned to cope with a lot of shit but that's not something I've ever been able to power through.
