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?

Lmao all the people in the thread saying they'd have sex with themselves.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Finally, someone that accepts me.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would date, fuck, marry & kill myself

I don't see how "kill" could be in any other place than last.

[–] sbv 2 points 1 week ago

That's a good sign.

You mean after the sex?

[–] dontbelievethis 13 points 1 week ago

I Hang out with myself all the time. It's fine.

[–] sbv 13 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Probably not. I don't really want to be around people who act like me. I've done a decent job of reigning in my most asocial behaviours, but they still get through.

On the flip side, other people seem to like the version of myself that I currently project, so I think I'm doing a good enough job.

Probably yes, I talk to myself all the time and my sense of humour happens to be pretty similar to mine. At the very least is worth a try.

I would hang out with myself and get a lot done. We'd code an app, make a podcast for antisocial people, and plant trees.

We'd agree to use the same encrypted messenger.

I've never been good at socializing and it just makes me exhausted.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

We'd agree to use the same encrypted messenger.

You've revealed the real reason we need cloning technology. It would be glorious.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I'd hang myself.

...

Oh "hang out".
No.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

One-on-one? Sure, I'm hilarious.

In a group? No. I'm an attention hog, I don't need the competition.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Maybe use the opportunity to audit your behavior. Give others some room and shit. Could be a thing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Oh yeah for sure. I'd have sex with myself too

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes indeed. Not to be braggy but I'm super friendly and fun and loving.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

And humble!

[–] RIPandTERROR 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah. I would. I've been asking myself that for a long time and I've tried to become someone I would get along with.

I would love to hangout with myself. I'm quiet, calm, and introspective IRL.

I don't have any friends because I'm disappointed in people my own age. I'd hang out with people 20-30 years older than me, but they're all dead soooo....

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

No. Spending time around people different from myself offers me different perspectives, interesting conversations etc.

Hanging out with someone exactly the same would be like living in an echo chamber with a yes man.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I have met a person nearly exactly like me, and they make a great friend

So yes, I'd love to hang out with me, at least I'll finally have someone that doesn't keep deliberately misunderstanding my words to have an excuse to harass me

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I wouldn’t initiate or invite, but if I just happen to be in the same room with myself it would be fine. It would be mostly quiet and we do our own thing, or the occasional silly philosophical or metaphorical discussions but probably nothing real or deep. Or maybe it’ll be a free therapy session, having 2 brains figure out my emotions

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No. I get introduced to people who are "like me" and I don't like them off the hop.

I recently hung out with my own father, and when he would say words that were in my head, they sounded awful.

People like me. I have friends. I like my friends. But I do question their judgement being friends with me.

I would hang out with myself, but I feel like it would be a very quiet meeting because we both would just be doing our own thing because unless someone else is spearheading the conversation or as a topic that I'm passionate about, I generally stick to myself anyway.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I would have an orgy with myself if I had a cloning machine.

I would try out for RLCS with my 3-me-team in Rocket League.

I would never wonder where my team mates are in The Finals, because now they are also me.

I would hang out with me. I would play boardgames and learn about obscure subjects that I am interested in.

I would have trouble coordinating schedules with myself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

Yes, but I wouldn't want to spend too much time because I'm very annoying.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Antisocial is like killing stray cats and cutting off their heads and putting them in your sock drawer. "Weird people" are Interesting to those who don't smell their own brand. The infrastructure and the culture makes it hard for people to connect. You might have issues but other people are stupid. Two things can be right at the sametime. The world is on fire. Who is to judge really. It not like the collective contributions have led to anything constructive in the dum dum world of the lowest common denominator. https://youtu.be/MEL06Crmw8g

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

It would be on sight.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

nah. that bitch depressing asf

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

i would probably hate myself

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Hell yes, I'm my best friend.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I would marry me if I could

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Outside like 4 people that i talk to, i find myself repulsive, but i'm working on it. I don't think i'd hang out with myself at all

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I'm an awkward motherfucker. Idk man I would have to try it out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week 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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I'd never invite myself because I'd be lost in something at home, so I'd never meet me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week 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.
