Do you think you would like yourself if you met yourself?

I like me. It has taken some time to make friends with all the versions of me that I've been in my several decades of life, but each had her reasons and I accept that. This current version of me is amazing, and only getting better.

Thing is, I'd never meet me because I'm basically a hermit, only communicate with about 20 people I love and trust, and don't social (because most of y'all ain't shit). It is what it is.

Holy shit, that's conceited!

OP here. I’m impressed with so many people having such high opinions of themselves. That’s so foreign to me. Must be nice in a way.

I am a worthless piece of shit, so no.

Interesting question OP.

When I was younger for sure not - I was too worried about stuff that doesn’t matter and insecure:

I have grown into myself over the years and try to treat others the way I would like to be treated. So good chance I would like me if I met me at a social get together.

I would have a total girl crush on myself.

No, because I'm very competitive.

No I know how nuts I really am

Similar. I'd be simultaneously impressed and intimidated. That's actually how I vet my female friends now. I want them to be super real but also...scare me a little.

I just did a girls weekend with 4 college friends and I could not stand them, so probably not.

Yes but I am an introvert so though I’d want to have coffee and a chat I’d not likely follow through.

I'm sorry your self-esteem is so low. Therapy was really helpful for me. I've also done a lot of work to suck less as a human... Maybe you should try it?

You can choose to love yourself or hate yourself. There's no medal for self-flagellation, and anyone who cuts you down for being kind to yourself is revealing their own lack of self-esteem.

I'm not perfect, nor do I ever expect to be (or even want to be). I'm a good person, by choice and through effort. I don't hang out with a whole lot of people who aren't comfortable saying the same about themselves. Too much drama, too much work constantly propping them up.

Interesting…I was raised to believe that talking about yourself that way indicated insecurity and lack of self-confidence. My mother always used to say that quiet confidence is the best kind of confidence.

No, I’m standoffish and do not exude friendship. That being said because I appear like a loner, women do try- women who need friends.

Always funny when you go someplace and you see someone with your type demeanor. Confident.

Wow, fascinating question.

I would hope so? But I also think I'm the type of person that you need to meet a few times before you really get to know. I am shy and a bit awkward at first.
