I noticed this too. People like me a lot more when I roast them with confidence, and then laugh in their face about it instead of apologizing or saying "I'm just kidding". You can get away with saying a lot if you say it with a smile.

Of course this only works if the other person is smiling too. Be mean with a smile, but don't drive the nail too deep and attack their insecurities. Gotta find that delicate balance. If you have autism it can be a struggle.

I think the key is having some nice verbal sparring. And like with sparring, both parties accept that it's just for fun and nobody is supposed to get hurt. That's why it very easily flips from being funny to being mean if one party doesn't adhere to the unwritten rules.

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.
