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.

You expect people to communicate only by interpreting meaning correctly. And that's simply not how most people operate. Tone IS important. Socialization IS key when communcating with a lot of people. I am not saying being stubbornly incorrect is a good trait, but the fact that you think there are a lot of people who are, is probably part of your problem here.
Any person just wants to be treated decently, which doesn't include getting called 'normie'.
Yes, but failure in choosing more pleasant tone is not fatal, it can be, eh, possibly endured, while pretending that a mistake is not a mistake certainly poisons everything in the conversation after it.
"Normie" is an insult for those who say or behave the way implying that you yourself are not normal. It's not as if it was hard to find people matching the criterion.
And frankly for socialization people dance, tell anecdotes and do other similar things. In an argument correctness is the goal.
