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 is being bad at smalltalk being selfish? You mistake skill for intent, and that's pathetic social skill. You shouldn't be giving anyone advice.
On the contrary, being so entitled that you think you deserve other peoples' initiation is selfish. You might have the impulse to spout to other people, but a lot of people don't, and they just do their job. Why isn't the other coworker rude for not making small talk for 2 weeks? Why isn't it that the other coworker is only making "small talk" to (insulting) someone else to make themselves feel better?
