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 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.

    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.

      Agreed! We both like the same shows… never fighting about what to have for dinner… it’s great

    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

    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.

    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…

    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 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
