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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
