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.

Using normie as a way of feeling special or putting others down is dumb but some people just feel isolated/different.

I feel like most people just use it to refer to people outside their clique/interests. I'm a normie to climbers and unless they love video games they are normies to me. They can't have an in depth conversation with me about their latest climbing trip and I can't have an in depth conversation with them about how much I fucking hate dark souls but can't wait to get home and play it.

If there's an less obnoxious term you can suggest please do, I get why you hate the term.
