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.

I don't necessarily want to feel superior, I think I just like when my communities are small and it's a genuine rarity to find someone that likes, for example, the same subgenre of music. Finding someone that likes techno (for example) isn't rare anymore, so it's not a special event, y'know?

Ah, it's just desire to feel ah so special

And you wanting to avoid having niche interests is your desire to feel, ah so normal?

I don't avoid niche interests though. I just pick interests that interest me. Picking one for how popular or niche it was would be equally worthy of snide remarks for sure.

Same for me though, you're just coming at me for finding it special to meet someone that also likes those niche interests because "I want to feel special"? I'm just saying I enjoy the time when my niche interests are niche because those encounters feel more meaningful.
