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?

    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 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 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 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…

    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.

    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.

      Yeah. I get that with some of my family members. I try to use it as an opportunity to be more open and learn to like myself more, but it rarely works. I’d prefer it if they didn’t act the way I think.
