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.

Thats a bad analogy, the frog constantly wants to live, and has essentially been tricked.
In your case, you tricked yourself by not looking at yourself, despite the fact that you do in fact care how you look.
I'd say that's more of a conscious decision to not deal with something than akin to being boiled alive.
In my opinion, ignoring something is an action, not inaction.
What does that even matter?
Maybe I don't want to be alive? Maybe being alive was something that was done to me? Maybe being born into the family and body I have is the trick?
Like, you sound so pedantic, bitter and quite angry about something people say to express something happening slowly without necessarily noticing how bad it is until something brings it to their attention.
Believe it or not, and this may be hard to grasp, but not everyone experiences life the way you do in your head.
I'm not saying everyone experiences things the same way. Everyone has their own perspective, and most importantly, is capable of changing it. I think the perspective displayed in the "life rushing by" memes, is negative and toxic. I think if that meme resonates with you, then it might be helpful to think about why.
If you didnt want to discuss your perspective compared to mine, I'm not sure why we are talking.
If you really wanted to know my feeling when I saw this post, since you made quite a few guesses, I felt hopeful that I could share my perspective with others and learn more about theres, using the meme as a vehicle.
But you're not discussing it, your projecting your world views on others and making accusations and assumptions about me. Which I don't really appreciate. You neither know me, how my mind works or what I've gone through. It also seems like you may or may not understand how mental health issues can affect cognition or perception.
So with that, I'll end the conversation there.
