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.

I forgot where I heard it but supposedly this an actual psychological trick to get people to reveal more information
more information?
It even works, it makes the other person slightly uncomfortable with what they just said and often they will try to justify their words with more information. Only works against obvlivious people who have their guard down tho.
Is it called a question?
Nah, specifically just repeating the last word/bits of their last sentence vs asking a full question. It's about when the other person is on guard against you, if they want to tell you everything anyway I can't see it make a difference either.
¿Question?
