Just came across this question on reddit and tbh....i don't know

People have always told me(including my parents) that i am very antisocial, i don't know how to speak, i don't smile often, i'm shy, i look very judgemental or i'm just too egotistic....so i don't know if i'm actually someone worth hanging out with

And no i didn't make all these things up i have heard it all my life from my parents, teachers, friends etc.

I don't know if its just my luck or something about my looks or the way i speak but people don't really hold back against me

So what about y'all?

I would totally sit quietly in a room with myself as we both played single player games, occasionally making recommendations to each other.

Good times.

hangout

That's a noun. You want "hang out" with a space. It's the difference between asking "what's up, Chuck" and "what's upchuck?" Supdog is the exception.

I have difficulty expressing myself around unfamiliar people. I would hang out with myself because I know myself very well. If I did not know the other me and she did not know me, then we'd probably both assume that the other thinks we're trash and would not hang out. But if we did then we'd enjoy it.

[–] gon@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

Well, that's a complicated question.

On one hand, I do already hang-out with myself basically all the time. I talk to myself a lot and I'm my own wall to throw stuff at.

On the other hand, I'm also very antisocial. I would definitely not enjoy spending this time that I spend with myself with another, physical person.

So, that.

Depends on the day. Sometimes im fun, sometimes im not so fun. Like anybody, I have days where im in a decent mood, got plenty of sleep, and then other days, I slept like crap, im cranky, and im just trying to keep my head down and get through the day.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 2 days ago

Blursed * humanity

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I would absolutely hang out with myself often.

I would help me get unstuck, and encourage my crazy projects to go even bigger.

I would run interference for myself when my social battery is low.

I would make collaborative art with myself, and try to outdo myself at stupid jokes.

Oh, and since I guess the question is implied, since everyone is answering - of course I would fuck myself. I have heard that I'm good in bed, and if I was bad at masturbating, I suppose I would do it much less often.

Edit: To respond to the downvote - you're right. I'm not actually all that great at masturbating. But I'm practicing as often as I can make time to! I'll get better!

[–] missingno@fedia.io 2 points 2 days ago

A worthy opponent for all of my favorite niche games that I'll never convince my IRL friends to play.

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah. I do cool shit all the time.

Wanna come over and have a fire in the backyard and do a barbecue, drink a few beers, play some games, watch some movies, play some music, record an album, build some shit in the garage, work on cars, write stories, play with electronics, do some computer shit, like, what's your flavor, pick your poison, I'm down for fucking anything, and if I had another me to do it with, all the fucking better.

[–] kepix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

i would probably hate myself

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Our taste in movies would be a perfect match. Grab some popcorn and a bucket of wine and let's get this marathon started, baby. Plus, I haven't seen any of the movies I haven't seen. Ideal.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago

assuming this means hanging out with an exact clone of myself:

we would play a game of chance to see who gets the laptop and who gets the pc, then we would play minecraft together.

we could also play card games, chess, or some board game, although i wouldn't really talk to the other one since there wouldn't really be a point or anything new to learn that i couldn't learn by just thinking (as we would be the same person).

oh, we could also watch shows or a movie but i dont think it would feel like hanging out since we'd both just sit quietly and watch it.

so yeah, i would hang out with myself, and i wonder how rock-paper-scissors would go

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

A hundred percent. I love alone time and I know exactly what kind of socializing I'm up for, so I'd be an easy person for me to spend time with. I have the same interests as me and the same taste in food too. It would be cool to go get a pedi together and then get a bit day drunk (or day buzzed, anyway).

I actually love this idea. How make happen?

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago
[–] Outwit1294@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

I would marry me if I could

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

When I was hanging out I think I would but im just sorta a boring, depressed old person at this point watching the world crumble around me. I would probably chat with myself at chance meeting like walking the dog.

[–] scytale@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

I would definitely jam in a band with three of my other selves. We'll be able to make music pretty quickly because we literally have the same minds.

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 2 points 2 days ago

I'm apparently best enjoyed in small doses; nobody else really seems to enjoy my company long-term, so why would I be any different?

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

If I knew it was me, sure probably, I already talk to the voices in my head all the time so...

If it was a random person on the street with all my thoughts and mannerisms, probably not. I look rather unfriendly and am far too awkward.

[–] Typewar@infosec.pub 1 points 2 days ago

Only for transactional practical reasons, not any kind of deep talk..

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I believe that if you wouldn't be your own current-self's friend, then you are not your authentic self. You aren't doing what you like or acting in ways you find enjoyable.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 2 days ago

Yes, I am. I'm also able to hang out with others, but because I don't hold red state views, I have to limit it for my own well-being.

Fuck yeah! I guess we might get a bit bored since most of the time I socialise I spend it preaching/arguing and we'd agree on all points? At least I'd have someone to nerd out over things like Legend of the Galactic Heroes at great lengths (not my wife's fault she can't do it for me, I'm not particularly interested in listening to podcasts about yet another crazy murderer either 🤷😅).

[–] Pissmidget@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

God no, I have a hard enough time hanging out when I'm present, I don't need another me ruining the ambiance.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 days ago

Would you hang~~out with~~ yourself?

FTFY
