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.

I'm not really sure what your comment is asking or saying.
Yes, I realize a majority of these "normal people" (in this context, people that don't need advice from internet strangers to know you should shower and wear clean clothes) have been in a relationship. I'm included in these "normal people" , and have also been in multiple relationships.
I don't know what you think I mean by "normal people" but I feel it's easy to decipher what I meant given the context, and I don't know how people having previously been in relationships relates to what I said about these people struggling to get into one currently.
OK but that advice was clearly meant for people like OOP who haven't been in a relationship as the post implies. If you have been in a relationship and are just in a slump then the shower advice was pretty clearly not meant for you? Not everything is meant for you.
Honestly if the energy your putting out in this comment section is the energy your approaching people with then that might be your problem.
Everyone is getting really bent out of shape over this response, disregarding the fact that I acknowledged (twice) that the comment I replied to wasn't doing anything wrong in the given context.
I never said they made the comment specifically about me, I said that when that advice is given to people looking for help or even just a little compassion that having "take a shower" thrown in your face over and over is discouraging.
