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.

Very plausible. Sometimes this happens to people who grow up with family who have cluster b personality disorders. It's like they're conditioned to be good partners to people who have it. Ask me how I know.

Mother had BPD, possibly ASPD, brother had NPD. I have a tendency to attract people who suffered intense childhood trauma.

I’m picturing you going on a first date and just casually asking something like “So, childhood abuse yes or no?”

Often times, you don't need to ask. You can just tell.

Like another comment said, sometimes you can just sense it, but often enough they will just tell me. I have heard so many stories, frequently about sexual assault by a family member, from someone I had just met or barely knew.

I have a similar thing. People just open up to me, but my parents aren't abusive. The worst punishment they gave us was to write a research paper on why what we had done was wrong.

Sameee. It sounds bad but honestly I think it's done a lot in the way of building mental fortitude
