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.

Fake: Anon is in a loving relationship. Gay: Anon never states that they are a woman.

What they forgot to ask was if he was crying because he is there against his will? This is 4chan, after all.

I never really connected past a surface level relationship, the blame is on me, I had both men and women who took interest in me but I never followed it up with interest in them, neither did I attempt to interact with them

I probably should've, taken a day and went to a small restaurant to talk and chill, would've been very possible and easy too. Istanbul has great metro tram and bus routes.

Honestly, if you're in a similar situation as I am, just give it a shot

İnvite a friend over to eat at a fast food place, if you're talking to a person of your interest then take a small risk and try to put events together with them

Put color into your life, try to live less safe be more risky, even if you fuck something up so bad as to cause a break in a relationship it would only be something you would regret for a year rather than a lifetime

Wall of text so that I give myself a life lesson

On another note, maybe this is why it's good to have a journal and write about stuff.

TL:DR take risks, break off from single tone life, make closer bonds with small strides even with risk involved

Wait, woman on 4chan? Impossible.

I lost a partner doing that. Like flipping a switch, any interest in me was gone. Was struggling with depression, we knew eachother for a very long time, even dated in the past. Oh well.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

Sorry, that honestly really sucks of them.
Allowing oneself to be vulnerable is one of the greater signs of trust I can think of.
Whenever someone in my life opens up or shows vulnerability, I'm mostly honored that they trusted me enough.
Especially someone you've known a while.

I hope you find someone in life where you can be open without strict roles and expectations.

It's happened to me twice. Shit sucks. I guess you could say if they lose interest for crying in front of them they're not good for you but I don't exactly have women lining up to date me. If I'd known ahead of time I'd have kept my emotions to myself.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago

Masking to keep a relationship is not worth it. It makes you miserable and eventually you lose sight of who you are and just become the person you think others want you to be and feel empty inside. Or worse, it leads to self hatred and you end up lashing out at people.

Yeah, but that'd be living a lie and hiding your emotions. Which is less healthy than being single. Meeting someone that likes you is something that can be done conciously rather easily with the right steps - but it does require a strong will, a lot of human interaction and a bunch of time. It also requires investing in yourself - living healthy, happy and mindful.

Patriarchy seeps into women too

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah patriarchy is a system and it poisons us all. Never stop being open to being vulnerable. It's just unfortunate that some view it as weakness.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Tons of southern women would literally lose their entire identity if their patriarchy disappeared tomorrow

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Luckily they can build a better one

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I don't think it's still called a patriarchy if they build it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I meant an identity

Handmaids are totally feminist
