Love is a ~~battlefield~~psych ward.

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 27 points 1 week ago

When she's literally your kind of crazy.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 12 points 6 days ago

Anon goes off the grid on the crazy hot matrix.

[-] Buffy@libretechni.ca 4 points 6 days ago

I fear that when I was young I would have read this post and immediately committed myself in the pursuit of love.

[-] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago

I really hope they get married

Okay so yes it's green text but...

I know people who work at inpatient acute facilities and they are constantly having to cockblock people to prevent truly horrible things from happening (think anorexia dating borderline or NPD + NPD)

So while this particular story may not have happened, this general story happens daily.

yeah you really really want to prevent them to have kids on accident. hell on purpose too.

those poor kids

one fucked up parent already fucks up a kid. imagine two

its a place where people calm down for the first time in forever, bored and together with others in the same situation. ofc romance ensures

[-] potatopotato@sh.itjust.works 54 points 1 week ago

Worse yet a lot of mental health conditions have genetic components so the kids are basically getting the worst hand you can possibly deal them.

> True story
> Written in Greentext

The essence of the story: Meeting people in person in the real world always is better than looking for someone special on some scammy dating site...

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Also it helps if you have stuff in common and are not there to meet people as your first goal.

30 day alcohol program is to encourage not drinking for 30 days right?

And not to be plastered for 30 days like the name implies.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

The court has sentenced you to a month long bender. May Bacchus have mercy on your liver.

He can fix her! She can fix him! I believe in Love!

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

You don't NEED to be fixed if you complement each other's crazy.

If this story doesn't convince you that birth control should be free to anyone who wants it, then you're an idiot.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

I never thought some people shouldn't be allowed to breed until I heard the stories from my obgyn wife. Holy shit is it heartbreaking, sometimes.

[-] elkalbil@jlai.lu 1 points 5 days ago

I'm sorry I can't upvote you multiple times!

[-] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago

I knew a guy who met one of his wives while locked up in county jail.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago

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.

No where in that does it say to write your own greentexts, screenshot them, and then post them here.

[-] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 46 points 1 week ago

But it also doesn't say you CAN'T do that either, so it is free game!

[-] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 days ago

can confirm. the government doesn't want you to know this but you can just write your own greentexts. they're free, you can just take them. i have so many greentexts at home.

[-] Senseless@feddit.org 27 points 1 week ago

Can confirm. Got more actual dates with people that are legitimately interested in me from psychiatric hospitals and group therapy than online dating apps.

[-] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 days ago

A lot of people come across way better in person than via text. Also, everybody takes their best photos and puts them up so when you meet them, they always look a little different than you expected, and that's always a moment of awkwardness. If you meet someone in person they have no priors and it can just be you. Apps can work too, but the ghosting is a constant emotional drain.
