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.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You discribe both nightmares and anxiety realy well with your explanation IMO. And intrusive thoughts probably follow the same "brain has a target, and just fills in the details to fet there" too.
Those people vaning away because of a girl 6 inches shorter though, I mean it's just 15cm?? Even a shorty can find girls 15 cm shorter, right? Amazing.
It's really unhealthy to categorize people by something as superficial as height though. I'm about 1 inch taller than my husband. The only consequence of that is the fact that it looks kinda silly if I wear really high heels. He's not self-conscious about it, I'm not self-conscious about it, and if either of us placed value on the woman in a heteronormative relationship needing to be shorter, I wouldn't have ended up with the love of my life.
Writing someone off because of one stat/measurement is absolutely insane and I think a lot of people would be happier if they quit or heavily limited their social media use to limit the torrent of self-criticism from comparison that come from social media.
Yes exactly.
Especially things you cannot change, but I guess that's the thing making it even worse.
