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.

That is not how it comes across, the entire thing sounds like them crying while using the couple as an excuse for doing so.
That's not how it comes across to you sure.
It's clear you just lack critical reasoning to get that the anon isnt supposing he's looking good in this scenario, he's saying he knows he is in the wrong for worrying about it and is coming to grips with that.
Oh wow I lack critical reasoning lmao. Can you be more of a condescending asshole to me please?
Seriously take a step back and think, is that an appropriate way to talk to someone that disagrees with you? Is every statement made by every person objective, with only one correct viewpoint?
Maybe I lack critical reasoning, because I can't understand why you think this is an appropriate way to speak to someone just because it's anonymous. If you said that sort of thing to someone in person you'd be visiting the dentist afterwards, but because it's a random internet argument you think it's ok.
I wouldn't be "visiting a dentist" because the people I associate with are mature enough to recognize normally formed criticism of speech that they started (you originally commented).
Being told you lack critical reasoning is literally the most polite way you can expect to ever hear the criticism of this kind. Any other way I could have worded it could, and probably should have been more rude.
Objective truth is indeed a reach, but you are so far from reality that it's as if you tried.
What the anon DOES have is some growing self reflection, that will probably greatly improve their life as it grows. Maybe you will benefit as well.
