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.

Plenty of toxic women out there.

If we're using food as an example, pick which mushroom is the toxic one to avoid

A)

2326

B)

2327

One of them will kill you. Choose wisely.

(My point is that toxic women can often mask as nontoxic for quite some time, much like you can't just tell by looking at these mushrooms which will kill you, you can't always tell by looking at women which are toxic either. Sure the Aminita Muscara may be identifiable and so would any woman with glaring toxicity, but sneaky ones lije these are afoot too, and much like other abusive relationships frog, boiling water, yadda yadda you've heard that bit before.)

Well yeah, but over time you start to realize behaviors. Just like over time, we've learned to rub potentially hazardous foods on your skin, then wait, the mucus membrane, then wait, then tiny piece, then wait. You don't just jump right in with some random mushrooms.

I'm not knocking anyone for getting your first crazy SO surprise, but after a bit it's a George W. Bush fool me once shame on, shame on you, fool me, can't get fooled again situation.

Make boundaries, communicate, and go after what you want and try to work on what you don't, and if it's not possible it's time to go. sometimes that's not easy, but relationships aren't easy.

First one, Amanita Phalloides if I'm not mistaken.

I like my liver solid as it is, thank you very much.

You're very smart. Often you don't know until it's too late and then getting out of that situation isn't easy.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Be honest with yourself and your partner in what you want. If those boundaries are crossed, dip.
