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:

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

Loneliness epidemic. Anon is not alone. I mean, he is alone in a way, but he is also not alone in a different way.

Steve feelin' lonely, but Steve ain't alone.
There's a million other Steves in their little Steve homes...

Totally.

I'm there right now in a way. Between pandemic, being single, and living off-grid in the woods...

It'd been 2 years since I had any physical contact with anyone. Was visiting a friend a few weeks ago and they hugged me when I left. I had to pull back because I could feel the emotions building. Until that moment I hadn't realized how lonely I was and how much I missed being close to another person. Didn't think I had the desire to date again but now I know I have the need.
