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.

Have people forgotten about people cutting themselves? Not advocating. Self harm sometimes triggers a survival response that makes you feel better. This was alarmingly common in the aughts.

electrocution kinda does the trick for me

I prefer lobotomy, but then I always did idolize the Kennedys.

Death seems a bit extreme compared to regular self harm.

I wonder if repeated mild electric shocks can cause long term damage or not...

The release of endorphins really solves your problems? Maybe you should try getting really high instead.

Seriously, please do not consume any substances, when you feel bad. Thats literally how addictions form and it is no fun to be dependent on substances to cope with your problems.

(I know you meant it as a joke, but thats meant for all the other people out there who might need to read this)

Did you think people cut themselves for no reason?

I'll be honest, the reason for my inane comment was because I skipped the bit of the greentext where OOP hits himself. ADHD, sorry. So I thought siethron was just randomly advocating that people start cutting themselves more.

yeah, going for a run does the same thing.

your body releases endorphins as part of pain response. especially post pain.
