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.

Why would you seek somebody’s advice if you’re not willing to take it? Sure, I get the idea of wanting to be validated, but you also have to accept being told what you’re doing is wrong.
I've stopped giving my father advice on computers or electronics because he has never yet followed any of it.
He gets really upset that I won't spend time researching things to give him advice to ignore, so presumably he gets something out of it but I'm not sure what.
Theory: your father just wants to spend time with you, technology being common topic
