Are you a person that you would get along with?

I believe that this is the same with me

I would fight with myself all the time, in verbal arguements and probably wrestle a lot. Which is good cause I like both of those. I hope I don't agree with myself a lot, though

If someone had my personality I probably would not know what to do. . .I would be confused, I think.

Yes, defintely.

I don't know. I have some friends who are pretty similar to me, so possibly yes. But it would be hard to know unless it happened.

For the most part, I really enjoy myself. I mean, I find myself highly entertaining, have excellent tastes, and am quite a good conversationalist to boot (with myself).

However, if I weren't in my own body, and, say, an identical twin of myself... I would most likely drive myself INSANE. --I mean, my god, how self-centered can she get? She can be rude, two-faced, nonassertive, messy as hell! She talks, nonstop, about random things, goes on tangents, doesn't listen to a WORD I say! Jebus! I can't STAND her-- um, myself.

No. I would hate me if I weren't so close to me to begin with. Unless that me decided to be a super-clean-freak one day and I could get her to come over and clean my entire apartment... humz... Something to consider.

Ok. First of all, before I answer the question, I must tell each and every one of you something.

I find it very, very strange that I replied to another thread before I posted in this one. This is because I added two people to my ignore list for a terrible reason. I got support from someone else who posts to this forum, and they told me that one does get a break from the people they put on that list, and no one's feelings get hurt.

It turns out that I decided I would leave for a while, and then I would come back. This is because of that issue.

I live with others, and when such social issues bother me, I feel like secluding myself in my bedroom.

This is where the answer to this thread's question comes into play. I used to think that I was a person that I would get along with, but not anymore. I have made so many social mistakes, I can't tell you how many times I've felt sorry for myself. As a result of myself actually making these mistakes and not knowing what to do, my self-esteem has gotten much, much worse. I wonder who I think I am.

I'm not kidding anyone when I wonder which "Ben" would be "me". I have internal split personalaties. There's kind of a good and evil Ben in my head. I know, not good. Good usually wins if it makes you all fell any better. And "Evil" Ben is normally repressed anyways. I suppose if I met my usual self, I'd enjoy it. I've always wanted a clone. Same musical tastes, quirky/bizarre humor, likes/dislikes, it'd be amazing. Better than talking to my internal personality. Dam*, I should start a thread on that.

As long as we both had something to do, I think we'd be excellent friends. Although we'd both want to go to class, and I think they'd kill one of us if not both. Ooo ooo! We could split up homework between us, i'd agree to something like that.

If I were me, and me was someone just like me... Me would probably try and kill I, the annoying, ignorant, persistent, bugger.

I can 'see' peoples' personalities, but I can't seem to do it with my own reflection or photo, which kinda sucks... Though I'm not sure I'd want to, I might be disturbed by what I'd see...

Because I live inside my head so much of the time, I can't even begin to imagine if I would like myself if I were somebody else. I suppose if I were AS and had similar interests, I could get to like me. I'd probably get very baffled and confused a lot of the time.

Good gracious no! I would drive myself insane, because I fidget and do annoying things and I CAN'T STAND other people doing that! One precocious me is really quite enough, thankyouverymuch!

I know for a fact that I would argue endlessly with myself; the question is whether or not this would become intolerable over time. How do I know this? I argue with myself all the time NOW.



And has been disproven by social psychology!

Since when did we start fitting into social norms?

Hey, we're still human- err, wait- wait- I HAVE A COMEBACK!! !! A GOOD ONE!! !

Meh, anyway, I still stand by similarity being better statistically and in practice. Also the matching phenomenon, in which people date people who are as attractive (or unattractive) as they are. I feel I am an exception to this, otherwise with my self-image I would actually be insulting the guy I'm dating.

Oh, and have I mentioned I perseverate on psychology?

Doubtful...at least not over the long term. It would be an on-and-off sort of friendship, like all my other ones.
