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.
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.

You’ve revealed the real reason we need cloning technology. It would be glorious.
I would date, fuck, marry & kill myself
In that order, right?
I don’t see how “kill” could be in any other place than last.
That’s a good sign.
Depends on if it a clone and you’re into necrophilia.
…
Absolutely. In-fact, me is who I most often hang with.
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
I Hang out with myself all the time. It’s fine.
Finally, someone that accepts 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.
Yes, but I wouldn’t want to spend too much time because I’m very annoying.
I’m an awkward motherfucker. Idk man I would have to try it out
You mean after the sex?
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.

The more times I read this, the deeper it gets.

I know that feeling too well. I honestly can no longer tell when I have started doing that or how much of it was originally there
If the new you is closer to the person you want to be, isn’t that a win?
I feel like I do this enough that it becomes a comfortable habit. Occasionally, I still want to interrupt people to tell them how wrong they are, or how right I am, or just become the centre of attention. But that isn’t who I want to be. And that urge seems to diminish as I learn to listen and ask questions, and then that becomes more of a habit.
But I guess it depends on what you’re editing.
Yeah, never thought if it like that. I always kinda felt like I lost something, that I conformed rather than maybe just bettering myself.
The version I present nowadays usually is better socially adapted and better able to integrate itself into a conversation than how I behaved maybe ten years ago

That seems positive. But it’s your call.
For me, “conforming” means listening, considering my audience, controlling interjections, and asking people about stuff. I don’t feel like I’m denying myself, I feel like I’m being more considerate.
I can see how other kinds of conformance could be awful. Denying one’s sexuality or something like that.
It’s nothing that drastic, maybe I just find it hard to differentiate between natural change over time and stuff I pretended to have changed to better fit in
Masking is exhausting
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
yes, but that is part of the problem
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.
Agreed! We both like the same shows… never fighting about what to have for dinner… it’s great
