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.

User:
reads a book, encounters a perspective they hadn't previously considered
feels insulted
accuses the narrator of talking down to them.
The narrator is just a voice inside your head. Why are you looking down on yourself for learning something new?
Is that you, narrator of The Dawn of Everything?
I've actually never read it, not even sure what it's about, but from the other user's comment it sounds like it's not so bad.
And I've certainly encountered some people who will accuse someone of being arrogant just for saying something that they didn't know. It's kind of annoying.
Like I love it when someone says something I don't already know. It means I get to learn something new. Why does that bother some people?
It's usually the type of people who can't admit that they don't know everything.
