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.

My kid is almost 27, and he hasn't been on a date since he was six. The little girl down the street, with very strange parents, asked him over for a play date.

(No, I don't say anything to him about it. It's none of my business.)

Maybe you should check in with him, make sure he isn't feeling lonely or depressed. As long as he's okay with it, great, but if there's support he needs, don't assume he can handle it all alone.

Isn't it, though? I'm in my 40's and still rely on my family for advice, and to continue to grow and develop as a person. I have a lot to learn, and I think other people's thoughts and experiences are helpful for getting through things.
