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.

It's a skill like anything else. It comes easier to some, harder to others, and it can be improved through repeated effort, exposure, and experience over time.
Small talk is a good low risk situation that can give you opportunity to practice.
Also, not living in the same place too long so you don't build up a reputation of being awkward and oh god they know they all know I'm just a hairless chimp in a human suit why did I think this was a good idea oh shit oh fuck what do I say--
"I'm doing good, how about you?"
Yeah, like all skills you get better by practicing it. Fuck it up? Yeah that happens don’t make the same mistake again.
let me correct my statement its not that i cant talk to people but my perspective on life makes it hard to relate to people outside my small circle of people from specific subcomunities it always feels like talking to aliens i can pretend to be one no problem but i'll never be one
