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.

So true.
There's also the cold disconnected robotic touch, going through motions regardless of the receiver's response.
I'm not a professional, but for me when I massage someone, there's usually a lot of empathy involved.
I end up immersing myself in how they feel, how their body reacts, kinda trying to imagine their pains and aches like they were mine.
Idk, I've never really thought about it and I'm not sure I have the words to describe that.
A robotically responding body can be taught to respond organically. Stimulation rearranges nerves.
