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'm just gonna put this anecdote out there:

When I first started dating my ex, I wanted him to play through some Dark Souls to see if he had any determination. He failed completely and whined a lot, but I kept dating him anyway. Nearly 5 years later, I ended up leaving him, and a big part of it was his defeatist outlook and complete lack of willpower.

I'm not saying being bad at Dark Souls is a red flag, but I think girlie would be justified in getting out now.

It's probably more seeing how he reacts when frustrated that's the red flag.

If he kept his composure until he eventually stopped playing and said "I don't think this is my type of game", that would have been a more mature approach to the issue than whining.
