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.

Forgive me for prying, but Im real curious about this "primal" part of your brain. Might be being autistic, or a woman, or both, but I've never experienced anything even analogous
It's pretty simple, putting someone else down makes you feel powerful. That's really all there is to it. It's the same kind of thing kids do when they kill random bugs they find, they're asserting their power over them.
I know nothing about you, but there are probably analogues in your life as well:
Basically, you want what you have to feel better than what someone else has, because that means you're "better" in some way. It's just pride at the end of the day, and not a constructive form of it since you usually feel worse afterward.
My life has been so consistently in the shitter that I just only feel shame all the time about those things
