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.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Practice. It gets easier with practice
Nah, when it comes to social shit like that, you just have not give a fuck what people think about you anymore, because honestly, they probably fucking aren't. You'd have to be pretty egotistical to think so, and if you were, you'd probably be one of those douche bags that bothers girls who don't want to talk to them.
Yeah, and that requires practice.
Or you could do the super smart cheat code way and eat waaay too many mushrooms one night thinking you can handle it, then get your ego absolutely fucking annihilated, realize you are actually one with the entirety of the universe and therefore actually just one with the girl you wanna talk to as all things are intrinsically entwined and you've finally achieved total absolute understanding of life and existence itself and hope you can explain it to her after it wears off with that same clarity without using the words "I'm literally inside you".
Or so I hear...
Idk man I'd someone said this to me, I'd slowly back away. Mushrooms are cool, but not a silver bullet in anyway.
Hint: Enlightened people probably aren't posting on Lemmy. XD
There is a difference between confidence/self love and egoism.
You had me at first but lost me at the end. Social anxiety and low self confidence is the opposite of egotistic
Are these mutually exclusive?
Absolutely not, but one can recognize the others disinterest and be ok with that and one won't stop to think you couldn't possibly not be interested in them, or care really care wether you are or not because you should be. The latter obviously ~~Clint~~ the douche.
