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.

If it's any consolation, young men are seldom taught social skills, and often have difficulty with this kind of thing. Women are also taught not too be direct, as it's too forward.

I'd say have a laugh about the absurdity of it, chalk it up as a learning experience, and move on.

Oh yeah that’s definitely what I’ve done. I’m getting old now.

I had multiple experiences like that, but I was an isolated kid who left school at 14 and I was just a mess.

I had a girl be so direct with me when I was younger that there was no other way to take it and I thought she was picking on me.

I’m very far removed from that awkward young man now.
