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.

it's not rude but you will be an outcast because of it

we're social animals, if you don't show yourself as part of the pack you'll be treated as an other - with suspicion and distance. it's much better to first show that you want to be part of the pack, and then establish yourself as someone who keeps to themselves. this way you'll get even more peace and quiet, because people you're on friendly terms are more likely to respect your personal space

this is the difference between "that lonely guy over there (he likes peace, but is nice)" and "that lonely guy over there (he creeps me out)"

I'm more than happy to be treated as 'the other'

Some people aren't pack animals - isn't it wild how diverse the human species is! Lol it's on you if you're guilty of thinking these people are a problem.

every human is a pack animal, this is not a matter of personality but of our genetic make up. if you weren't a pack animal your mother would've thrown you out of the house when you were max ~4 years old so you could go fend for yourself

Autistic people aren't pack animals.

Some people are, some people aren't. Plenty of us aren't pack creatures and we don't associate with pack-minded people.

Any group or community that forks a 'pack' is one I immediately leave. I refuse to be dragged down into that nonsense and tribalism. It most often becomes abusive and coercive eventually.
