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.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I remember in my Midwest college band, we stopped at a mall during a trip. Everyone broke off into smaller groups.
Timid kids were orbiting the anime shop for a while before I intentionally and loudly invited someone I liked to go in; "Woah, look it's [goku,(can't actually remember)], do you want to go check it out?" "Uh, sure." Within minutes, the crowd awkwardly coming inside.
I remember the anxiety. I am so insecure and never talk to anyone, so I thought this would define me as a perverted loser. I was so relieved man. Even people I didn't think could like anime were coming in.
As far as bullies, I feel like I remember the ones in highschool being fans of anime. Most people here who don't like anime just don't know it exists.
Yeah maybe I'm just a millennial, but my bullies weren't cool either. I was never bullied for being a nerd, I was bullied sometimes because I sucked or lacked social skills and sometimes because I was an easy target with low social penalty for picking on.
