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.

Your comment doesn't make sense, I'm calling them that after the fact, not during the fact, and order of the sequence matters.
EDIT: Which means that you both failed to understand a simple sentiment and yet showed the typical arrogance to talk about "rightfully so". So yeah, I'd say you are not particularly smart. After you showed that, again. Not before.
You're the one failing to understand. I'm drawing an inference about how you treated them before and during the interaction you're complaining about, based on how you're speaking about them after the fact. I'm saying that the fact that you're willing to dismiss people as "not particularly smart" after a single interaction is very indicative of you being generally judgemental and rude, traits that will increase the probability that people will be disrespectful to you. This second comment of yours has only further convinced me.
You have no information at all to draw anything on that.
On that neither.
Now - yes.
The saddest thing is that people IRL respect me more when I'm in this mood. Including romantic interests. And when I'm respectful, ready to believe in people and so on, it's different.
That's the key actually - one doesn't trust a dog not to eat chocolate left on the table unsupervised. One doesn't trust friends with known errors not to err this way again. I think this is the root problem, but too lazy to elaborate.
You've assumed too much (see above) to pretend that it was my comment which convinced you of anything. You came with your opinion without any intent to change it. You got what you wanted. That, of course, reduces the value of your comments to virtually zero.
I do. I have the way you're describing people afterwards. I have a lifetime of experience dealing with people who talk the exact same way about people.
That quote is self-contradictory.
Your experience isn't worth anything as an argument. What does it even mean, we all have lifetime experiences of dealing with people.
