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 got a more direct case of rejection. 12yo me, at new school, 2nd week of classes, one of the girls that I thought was very pretty was asking others who they fancied. Once she came up to me, I meekly replied "You". I got a very loud and angry "I HATE YOU!" as an answer. Up to this day, more than 20 years later, I have no fucking clue to any possible why, in her mind, I deserved that reply.

You got that reply because you surprised her and her immature 12 y/o brain spat that out as the best response on short notice. It's entirely likely that response had nothing to do with you in particular.

B-B-b-b-BAKA!

But you probably caught her off guard. I wouldn't expect 12 year olds to really know how to express their feelings like that.

I don't think it was a tsundere, given that during the rest of the year she avoided me and I noticed at least two times were our eyes met, she frowned then looked away. We had zero interactions during the rest of the year.

Lol, that reaction probably haunts her, too. "Why was I so mean to that boy for no fucking reason 20 years ago?!"

Would be funny if I could find her on instagram or wherever and ask. Too bad I only remember her first name

It may have been that she was embarrassed because she liked you too.

Ouch. But also,

I once got angry and through a fit at a friend for buying me a surprise gift. I couldn't even tell you why, but I was very upset.

Try not to put too much stock in the bubbling brew that is childhood emotions.
