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.

motherfucker you had a party with 10 people and a girl you liked made out with you [allegedly] how do you not have any friends?

A group of 10 people who you can all invite to the same event is a huge friend group though

[–] ma11en@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How about they invited a couple of actual friends who brought acquaintances?

Not OP but if you have a couple of actual friends who have friends of their own that are comfortable coming to a party at your house, then you have a standard sized adult friend group, I think. Seems like a few close friends, a dozen or so acquaintances, plus coworkers, plus family, is not an abnormally small social circle, to me.

7/10

Shocking to no one.

Sorry to burst anon's bubble but "we were friends but both had feelings for each other that we hid for years" almost never works out for more than a few months. You build up too perfect of an image of the person in your head and once it ends, you lose your friend too.

inb4 everyone replying about how it totally worked out for them

I don't know, that sounds like a made up gotcha rule from a pessimist leaving a movie theater. It's been repeated forever, but based on nothing but the word of people in miserable relationships.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Who gives a fuck if it works out or not. You'd be stupid not to at least try.

Most relationships don't work out, regardless of how they were formed.

after your “inb4 everyone replying about how it totally worked out for them” comment

You aren’t bursting anon’s bubble, they don’t even know you exist. Also, your pessimistic assumption of how romance works for billions around the world is hardly a reflection of the reality of their respective situations.

Even if you somehow personally knew 10,000 people and what you suggest was true for every one of them, that still would apply to a nanoscopic 0.00025% of 4 billion people.

this never happens

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

10 people or so

I don't have a lot of friends

My dude! Make up your mind, I can't name more than 3 people, besides family, that I'd be willing to invite if I absolutely must.

You misunderstand, 8 of them were his enemies
