Would you be friends with you?

I cannot imagine not being me, so I always find questions such as this one difficult for me to imagine. I’d like to think that I would be friends with me (even if I didn’t share any common interests, or hated my taste in music, or anything like that) because I’d like to think that I am witty, kind, and charming enough to be universally friendship-worthy.

But if that were true, maybe I’d have more friends? Oh dear. Maybe I’d think I’m a straight-up weirdo for reading Chaucer aloud on the bus :) Ah well. Good thing I’m me and not someone else.

I’d be friends with me, I’m honest and trustworthy to all my friends I have now.

I am already.
Hey buddy, want to go out tonight?
Nah, let’s just sit here and surf.
OK.

Opposites attract, so no.

Besides, I have atrocious personal hygiene and chronically under-developed social skills.

Yes, I’m pleasant, kind, fairly easy to get along with, sometimes funny, and if you invite me for dinner, I’ll bring a kickass dessert.

I think so – I’m a loyal friend.

No. I’m an absolute bastard.

Yes. I enjoying doing things with people that have similar interests and I always try to be there for my friends.

I think I’m a great friend. Sometimes, I have my suspicions that most people are just exploiting my “niceness” though. I tend to be both a doormat and a pillar…

But to directly answer your question, yes, I would be friends with myself. I like me, despite my faults, and I’m very easygoing.

Yes, I would enjoy being friends with my alter-ego.

No! I said in a previous post I prefer to be around people who are similar to me, but a carbon copy? Not really. We would end up murdering each other.

their would be a highlander “there can only be one!” thing happening with me… or we would collude together

Yes I think so

Absolutely, yes. I’m an interesting person who knows how to hold a conversation. I’m an actor. I have 3 children. I’m a book editor. I have a BA and MA. I’m nice. I have some really cool aloha shirts. And I happen to be gay. What’s not to like?

I’m genuine, fun to be around, you can trust me and I’ll always have your back. Unless, you’re an asshole.

So, yes.

If I could fast-forward through the awkward meeting, getting-to-know-me stage, than yes, I think so. I could play D&D with me, and talk nerdy to me, and watch Star Trek movies for hours with me, and compare sewing projects with me, and go on random road trips with me…

It’d be great.

Unfortunately, I’d be too nervous to approach me and start a conversation, as I wouldn’t know what to say upon first meeting me. And of course I’d think that I’d think whatever I said was stupid, so why even bother? And thus, the friendship could never actually happen.

I would enjoy having me as friend when he was in a good mood. But on those infrequent days he was feeling blue or needy, I’d ask him not to come over. Of, and I wouldn’t mind if he were a she.

Yeah, someone to go hang out and work out with and have play dates for my our little dogs. And then in the evening go our seperate ways. On weekends maybe catch a chick flick that our husbands don’t like to watch. Keep it light and all so funny. I would crack me up all day long. Heck I can do it without anyone else in the room. Someone who can sees life being as beautiful as I do and hates gossip and loves learning something new every day and is light hearted about life but can be serious when its called for.
Heck yeah. Anyone know where I can find another me?

Yes.We could go to jail together ;)

I think we would be get along real well. I am nice.

Sure; I already am and I like me.

I would probably never meet someone like myself. I’m not terribly outgoing and it takes a particularly gregarious person to get past my gruff armor plating.

If i was another person i would not be friends with me, I make a good friend and i am very nice. But i have a secret.

no, I wouldn’t be friends with me. I’d marry me!

Absolutely not. I lie, I scheme, I betray, I love the wrong people, there’s all sorts that would destroy my friendship with myself. How I’ve managed t keep friends I don’t know (although it is quite depressing to hear a friend say (while you’re not meant to be there) “I hate him, he’s better than me”. I really feel sorry for the boy, but that’s a different question).

haha neat question!
and yes, i would :D
