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.

Yeah well Kevin did weigh 257 pounds and is a successful director, producer, writer and actor... I'm north of 400 and none of those things. But I got other things going for me, so I'm okay with being a fat ugly loser, I'm winning what's important to me.
Well I'm probably reading too much into it, but I just think that being publicly revulsed by yourself, even in jest, teaches others how to treat you.
I know that going the other way is the path to narcissism/arrogance, and pointing out your faults keeps you humble and telegraphs that you have no defences because you dont need any... but I think that works only if you assume that people dont take others at face value. Which we all unfortunately do.
Not really sure what I'm advising here, or what the middleground exactly is here, but hopefully you can see where I'm coming from
Both directions of it are defense mechanisms. And ime it's better to go the jokingly overconfident route than the self depreciation route, though I find a bit of both to be fun. That said here his self depreciation serves his argument.
Agreed on all fronts
