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.

Pretty sure she wanted an icebreaker to reach a coworker that hasn't said "hi" yet. Not everything is about "being into someone", it'd be awful to work for a couple of years with a guy who looks angry all the time and hasn't said a word to her.

So if she thinks it's weird that he hasn't said hi, why wouldn't she just say "hi"? There's literally a million other polite and innocuous things to say besides "why do you look angry." Just the fact that they work together means they have to communicate at some point for their jobs.

Who would care? I will never understand why people minding their own business bother other people so much. If she makes the choice to internalize someone else's demeanor and facial expressions that have absolutely zero to do with her, then that's her own insecurities coming through and she should probably look up some therapists.

So many assumptions over a greentext. I love that you diagnosed a person you have never met, over one sentence.

Maybe stop doing that.
