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 anything I would ask, I mean, is she really your friend if you can't confide something scary with her?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Exactly. If you trust her then just ask her. If you don't trust her then she's not much of a friend. If your friendship ends over that then she wasn't much of a friend anyways. Just be sure to actually use your words and not just make a move because just making a move and getting rejected is a far more likely way to end a friendship.

I'm about as socially competent as a 4chan user and even I managed to do that. I asked, got shot down, and everything was fine. I actually did that twice because she was not nearly blunt enough when she shot me down the first time and I am stupid. Even then everything was fine we're still best friends several years later. We wingman for each other and other times we're basically each others beards.

Best advice right here. Also we live in 2023, even good friendship seam to not last past 10 years at this point. Might as well try to upgrade for the duration.

I guess anon cuddles in bed with all his friends for two hours before they get frustrated and leave.

JFC. I don't know whether anon has pissed me off or whether I'm happy to feel that much less autistic.

Itt: People not realizing that lots of girls do this shit all the time.

It's their way of getting comfort from a relationship without actually being in one. Honestly the best bet is to just cut all contact and move on before you get more emotionally invested.

Source - This has happened to me more times than I'd like to admit. Start flirting with a girl regularly. Long phone calls/FaceTime until one of us passes out. Finally work up the courage to ask them out. "I have a boyfriend" or even better "I'm just not ready for a relationship" Gee maybe think about that next time before doing relationship stuff with someone.
