SpiralingMind Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 If, through some meta warp in reality, you met yourself, would you like you? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzsheepyzzz Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 That's an interesting question.. I actually thought about it and I would, but I also feel like I lower myself to people too much, and I wouldn't like that quality if I met myself. I would want me to be more straight up about things. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 At my best times I would like myself but at my worst times no I wouldn't. I would take off running the other direction from me at my worst. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD4010 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Hahaha. Probably not. "Wow, this old @ss doesn't have anything to be depressed about, yet he is always feeling sorry for himself. And jeez, he's lazy!" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epictetus Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 What a wonderful question. If I met myself there would be things I like about me and things I wouldn't like. Because of my attitude towards life though, the parts of me I wouldn't like would not cause me to hate myself as such things might have during my past years. Nowadays I would feel sorry for me rather angry at me, if that makes any sense. I believe in free will but tend to think it is extremely limited and that bringing full knowledge and full consent to actions is a lot rarer than many people think. That is maybe why I would not hate myself when looking at my negative traits and actions. ??? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorianGoth Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 This is such an interesting topic. I thought long and hard on it too. I came to the conclusion that if I met myself I would not like myself. I am not so genuine when meeting people because of social anxiety so I would pick up on that right away . I would pick up on the nervousness and the oddness. I would also just feel sad if I met myself like "Wow, you are a really really sad person, in a lot of emotional pain." I don't wish to meet myself. I am tired of myself as it is. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark250 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Simply answering 'yes' would feel almost narcissistic. Tough question to answer, though. I think I would just about get along with myself. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraiseBrownies Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'd probably like myself??? Maybe? I mean, same sense of humor, same likes of shows, movies, etc. However, considering I find my own self-loathing annoying, I'd probably get irritated. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulberrypie Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 good question spiraling!! well, maybe I would, because I have a lot in common with me. If I was someone else meeting me? I'm not sure! It would depend on the day, I guess =)))) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenris89 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Probably not. Nope. I mean I have some qualities, yes. But once others get close they see the wreckage, the ugly, the hypersensitive piece of sh.. that I am. Probably I would see this and run away as far as I could. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evalynn Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'm painfully shy, even standoffish, with people I don't know. Rarely I'll meet someone so warm and friendly that I'll be instantly comfortable with them. I'm not sure I'd be warm enough to myself to put the wall down, so I would probably not speak much to myself. Which means I might never know how witty I can be, and miss an opportunity to make a friend. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Oh yeah I would like me. I can be great fun and a tad bit of a bad influence 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeb6901 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I'd probably think I was a bit of a d**k at first, but because I'm usually pretty stand-offish when meeting new people. But once I got to know me I think I'm a pretty hot . Lots of fun, funny as hell, loyal...I think I just described my dog. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APFSDS Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Exactly as I am now? Probably bored quickly of myself because there isn't anything new to share between "myselves". But I would probably tolerate myself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff70 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Unlikely. I wouldn't give the other me a chance to get to know this me...or did I get my selves mixed up? Anyway, that's a shame, because if you strip away the layers of mental illness, there's an interesting and funny person in there, or at least there used to be. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD4010 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) This thread made me realize something: when I see someone who has features or attributes that I also have, I will recognize things that remind me of what I don't like about myself. It's hard to explain. I guess it's a little like looking in the mirror and saying "jeez, I hate my big nose". It's probably a form of projection.

hocico Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) I am fairly sure I would but only if I met myself when I was having a good day we could waffle on about history for hours, share interesting facts, go climbing together, the fun would be endless.

PurpleStorm Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Yes I would because I would be the only person I'd ever met that had the same interests and way of thinking as me. I wouldn't feel as weird or alone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha1 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 nope. I hurt people and when I'm "up" I'm smug about it. Not nice on either strikes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myra_viveash Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I've thought about this question a lot before. Also, it's been on my mind recently because I have been watching a lot of a sci-fi show with a similar, though not same, concept. I guess it would depend on whether it was me from another universe, or the same universe? Am I an exact copy of the me I am meeting, or is it a me separated in time (older / younger self). I'd love to give advice to my younger self, for example, or talk to my older self and see if I will eventually figure things out. If it's the copy scenario, then I'm sure we could at least find a way to help each other out (i.e, sharing workload or other responsibilities). Not sure we'd be very exciting company for each other since we'd basically be the same person and already know what each other would think, say, etc. Maybe I could sing in harmony with myself. That would be cool. :) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
