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.

OK but that advice was clearly meant for people like OOP who haven't been in a relationship as the post implies. If you have been in a relationship and are just in a slump then the shower advice was pretty clearly not meant for you? Not everything is meant for you.

Honestly if the energy your putting out in this comment section is the energy your approaching people with then that might be your problem.

Everyone is getting really bent out of shape over this response, disregarding the fact that I acknowledged (twice) that the comment I replied to wasn't doing anything wrong in the given context.

I never said they made the comment specifically about me, I said that when that advice is given to people looking for help or even just a little compassion that having "take a shower" thrown in your face over and over is discouraging.
