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.

I try to compliment people regularly too but if they ask a question I would answer it honestly.
I also feel like I've been told that I shouldn't ask for compliments because it's rude when I was a child. However I can't remember who said it to me.
It can depend on the person so it's a general concept. I think if someone is asking for a critique they would ask more directly. Culture also plays a big role. I'm speaking from a USA cultural viewpoint.
Bah, screw that! People like making others feel good. It makes you feel good to know another person is pleased. So what if you fish for that sort of engagement unless you're being an incessant little dictator?
