Would you hangout with yourself?

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'd never invite myself because I'd be lost in something at home, so I'd never meet 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....

A hundred percent. I love alone time and I know exactly what kind of socializing I'm up for, so I'd be an easy person for me to spend time with. I have the same interests as me and the same taste in food too. It would be cool to go get a pedi together and then get a bit day drunk (or day buzzed, anyway).
I actually love this idea. How make happen?

Our taste in movies would be a perfect match. Grab some popcorn and a bucket of wine and let's get this marathon started, baby. Plus, I haven't seen any of the movies I haven't seen. Ideal.

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
-
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.
Masking is exhausting
-
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 difficulty expressing myself around unfamiliar people. I would hang out with myself because I know myself very well. If I did not know the other me and she did not know me, then we'd probably both assume that the other thinks we're trash and would not hang out. But if we did then we'd enjoy it.

I know that feeling too well. I honestly can no longer tell when I have started doing that or how much of it was originally there

If the new you is closer to the person you want to be, isn't that a win?
I feel like I do this enough that it becomes a comfortable habit. Occasionally, I still want to interrupt people to tell them how wrong they are, or how right I am, or just become the centre of attention. But that isn't who I want to be. And that urge seems to diminish as I learn to listen and ask questions, and then that becomes more of a habit.
But I guess it depends on what you're editing.

Yeah, never thought if it like that. I always kinda felt like I lost something, that I conformed rather than maybe just bettering myself.
The version I present nowadays usually is better socially adapted and better able to integrate itself into a conversation than how I behaved maybe ten years ago

That seems positive. But it's your call.
For me, "conforming" means listening, considering my audience, controlling interjections, and asking people about stuff. I don't feel like I'm denying myself, I feel like I'm being more considerate.
I can see how other kinds of conformance could be awful. Denying one's sexuality or something like that.

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 could, yeah. I would make me a delicious meal and listen to some music. I don't think I would necessarily want me at a party, I like to host but not the best guest.

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.

It's nothing that drastic, maybe I just find it hard to differentiate between natural change over time and stuff I pretended to have changed to better fit in
