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.

I think thats a thesis that hasn't been properly peer reviewed (though it does have some clinical evidence), which is to say its not widely accepted as a reason for it to exist (but that that may be changing).

Interesting, thank you for clarifying.
