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.

Everyone thinks rules 1 and 2 are:

  1. Be attractive
  2. Dont be unattractive

But really they are:

  1. Be a nice person
  2. Dont be an asshole

also it's probably more important to not be too unattractive - people are focusing too much on the ceiling but they need to focus on the floor

Nah. You can't do much about how you look, beyond basic hygene and self care.

You can easily do something about being interested in other people's lives, and being happy for them being happy and commiserating with them when they're sad. The bonus with this focus is it also makes you feel better about yourself in the long run.

That was exactly how I read their comment. Don't worry about trying to reach the ceiling, focus on staying off the floor. Basic hygiene, grooming, caring about yourself.
