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.

Comfort him. Let him know that he's not a leper all of a sudden for having a moment of vulnerability. Listen. Make sure that they understand that they're heard.

These are pretty basic forms of emotional labor that go a long way in helping folks, and can even save lives at times.
