Ask Lemmy

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?

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.

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

I would marry me if I could

Finally, someone that accepts me.

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

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 🤷😅).

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

I could, yeah. I would make me a delicious meal and listen to some music. I don't think I would necessarily want me at a party, I like to host but not the best guest.

i would be afraid that i would murder me

yes, but that is part of the problem

Would you hang~~out with~~ yourself?
