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.

Personally, I had IRL friends that I used to hang out with and see. I dated a girl from that friend group and after the break up, I was perceived as the person in the wrong and no one from that friend group spoke to me again, even though I knew some of them from UK college.

It's not just social media. It's a cluster fuck of different things. Blaming the entire reason why people don't have friends on social media is silly.

I've had situations where I completely changed my friendship circle 3 times. That's not a reason to become a recluse, a lonely mess of a pain.

I never said its just exclusively social media and I don't know why would you assume I did. I'm sorry but I can't talk to someone who takes everything as an absolute. Life has many nuances and the only way to talk about it on this social media is to simplify it. I don't want to talk to people that expect me to be as precise as a lawyer in a murder case. It makes no sense and such a discussion is only geared for a senseless argument.
