Would you like you, if you met you?

[Just01]

I dont think I'd like to be friends with myself,I'm too intense,too dominating,untrusting in new people, too emotional, too try hard.
I dont like all these things in other people and cabt change that I'm like this,its surprised me somewhat thinking I dont actually like who I am.

I think I would - most people do.I’m easy going, funny, helpful. But the few that don’t ( usually men of a certain age/class/ bit homophobic) god do they NOT!

I think I'd like me ok. I might find me a bit annoying sometimes, but I think that's pretty normal. I've got shortcomings like every other human, but I'm generally fairly friendly and I don't backstab people.

Be kinder to yourself, I'm sure you're not perfect, none of us are, but I'm sure you're perfectly likeable.

Not according to the (risible) Reddit threads about me, I wouldn't

I am really non-judgemental, friendly, fun and just don’t give a fuck. But I ain’t ever gonna call you back. So probably not.

No I've got a bit of a resting bitch face. However once I got to know myself I would probably like me forever.

Depends on the day. 99% of the time I would but if i'm feeling really stressed and meet someone new, I know I can seem a bit aloof sometimes.

I'm really annoying. Seriously.

Only if I agreed with myself!

not according to the (risible) Reddit threads about me

Well, if a large majority of people are saying the same or similar things, perhaps it is not risible so much as accurate?

Yes, I would like me. I am very congenial.

Probably. I reckon I'm pretty annoying but fairly fun.

I think I would at first - I make quite a big effort to be sociable and friendly to people. Not sure if I'd becoming lifelong friends with myself though. I think I'd bring out the worst in myself eventually - would be too uptight and stressy. That's why I do so well with DH - he chills me out.

Yes because i make excellent tea and coffee and there’s always decent biscuits on offer

Yeah, you need to be much kinder to yourself, OP. I have no idea how people see me given people claim I'm one way and others claim the opposite.

Like a PP I do have resting bitch face. So that's not great. But underneath I am a genuine person with good intentions and no interest in power games. I know there are many people out there who are the same - probably the majority of people - but sometimes it can seem like we're few and far between. So I think once I got past my resting bitch face I would like and appreciate me.

Luckily I have a number of friends in different parts of the world who see that in me and remind me of it when the nasty people get me down and make me question myself.

@GinDaddyRedux what doe they say about you on reddit? And why do you have people writing about you on Reddit?!

@GinDaddyRedux People can be pretty nasty on Reddit (and on Mumsnet) so I would take whatever they said with a grain of salt. I'm sure it's an effective way to temporarily feel better about yourself to slag a stranger off online, but it says more about the slagger than the slaggee.

No, i have resting bitch face but also I'm too nice. People think my niceness is fake because I dont match my face. I'm generally a happy upbeat smiley person and people dpnt really like that

Not at all. I have lovely friends and am always surprised that they like me. I'm not a negative person though- more "onwards and upwards".

I'd get on really well with me.
Id make myself laugh a lot.

Yes, I make a great friend. I wouldn't date me though.

If people are being horrible elsewhere about you then it says more about them than you. Bored/lonely or simply not very pleasant.

Yes I would be friends with me. I try to act the way I would like friends to act with me.

I'm patient, tolerant and accepting BUT I do know when to either put my foot down firmly and fairly if someone takes the piss and when to shut up and cut the bull shit.

I'm a what you see is what you get kind if person. I like that in people. I don't say things I don't mean, make promises I can't keep, I don't follow the herd and I keep an open mind.

Some people think I'm weird, may be I am, but as some have got to know me over time they seem to like my ways. So hopefully the decent folk out their will be patient enough to get past my weirdness!!!!

I don't know.
In work I think I come across as boring, as I can't do doing with oversharing or office politics or banter.
Out of work I am more interesting, but can be a bit too spiky sometimes. I am completely reliable and unflappable though, which IMO are qualities.

I am quite reserved and a little socially awkward so if I met myself we would probably just stand around in awkward silence for a bit before 1 of us would mumble some made up excuse about having to be somewhere else and then spend the rest of the week regretting not saying anything and replaying it our heads.
