If it were possible, could you work with yourself as a coworker or would you be able to live with yourself as your partner?

[DreamCrescent]

The question is meant to invite some introspection. How tolerable are you to be around?
Also, do opposites actually attract or are the similarities what make relationships work out?

Absolutely. I wish more people were like me. I’m wonderful to be with

No, thank you. I’ll put up with someone else but I’m a little tricky. Would rather not

I asked this question because i tend to be impatient and i tend to like my space. Those are my two flaws. If i had to be around someone with those flaws, i’d have no trouble making it work

Someone has said to give people a break because you only know their flaws, you don’t know what they’re going through with having to deal with you

This poll shows most of us are aware of our own shortcomings but wouldn’t mind having to deal with them in another person. Reassuring

I have worked with people as opinionated as I am and loved it. We could have a heated argument, but it never got personal and in the end we reached a data-driven conclusion. I'm still Facebook friends with a guy I worked with decades ago. I miss him.

[Shiprex]

I think I could work with me and probably get the best out of us.

[Shiprex]

Thanks @DreamCrescent for the mho

[DreamCrescent]

why double you

[Simslover92]

Considering I don't like to be around many people and I prefer to stick to myself often, I would love myself as a coworker or partner because I wouldn't be a bother to myself.

[NathanDavis]

yeah...

I've worked and lived with a few before, and it was never an issue...

I even started business with family, and had ex-girlfriends invest on my business as well, which are things people recommend "never do that if you want to get along with them" lmao

I could do with myself even easier, lol

[DreamCrescent]

you felt like you got along because you’re very similar to them? and therefore you knew how to deal with them because you know how to communicate with your own self?

[NathanDavis]

hmm, not exactly no...

I think the key was that we were both willing to get along, especially with the girlfriends...

there's just people who are willing to adjust, to accommodate... compromise, those who are actually willing to make it work to get along

and then there's those who just won't...

for example, my younger brother is someone that I know absolutely 100% I could live with and have no problems with... but my older brother? no way, lmfao

he just doesn't care about getting along... he's a nightmare to live with and I know this because we all shared the same room for a few years as kid, lmao

[DangerouslyCute]

@NathanDavis

could you work or live with YOURSELF? like with a clone? someone who is EXACTLY like you, in ALL FUCKING aspects?

[NathanDavis]

@DangerouslyCute yes... yes I can

I do work with myself all the time, lmao

it wasn't easy to argue with all myselves and then the "who the hell is that voice now? as well... but I dealt with during all of my school years... it got better, much better... nowadays, I am able to do it

[DangerouslyCute]

@NathanDavis again... can you work WITH YOURSELF as another person, so NO ALONE, but TWO of YOU exactly the same, with all the quirks and peculiarities?

[NathanDavis]

@DangerouslyCute yes, yes I can...

and I've done with worse people than me too... lol

[DangerouslyCute]

@NathanDavis why it takes so fucking long time for you to answer the asked question? :D

[NathanDavis]

@DangerouslyCute lmao...

it was literally the very first line on my first answer

" yeah... "

the rest was just to add for this conversation, lol

[DangerouslyCute]

@NathanDavis we don't read stuff separately

"yeah...

I've worked and lived with a few before, and it was never an issue..."

it wasn't answering THE QUESTION, the question was about YOU not OTHERS as in the second line

[NathanDavis]

@DangerouslyCute I AM @OpinionatedDavis

[DangerouslyCute]

@NathanDavis yes, I am fucking aware :D

[NathanDavis]

@DangerouslyCute lmao...

[DannyUk2017]

Erm no! To work with myself? Hell no! Haven't seen myself from outside my body/mind, otherwise i would be scarred/terrified for life, as i like to be a perfectionist to what i do...

[DreamCrescent]

hehehehe

but you’d be perfect for each other/yourself

[DannyUk2017]

You're not wrong there...😅😂

[DJB72]

Nope. I'm hell to live with. I was aware of this and warned my wife before she married me.

[DJB72]

Thanks for acknowledging me @DreamCrescent 🤣😜

[DreamCrescent]

you bet

(ps, i think your answer implies humility. i don’t think any of us are buying that you’re insufferable)

[DJB72]

I suppose "difficult" might have been a better word, but I'm with me 24/7 and I'd move out if I could 😜

[Iron_Man]

no I don’t wanna be alone coming home alone going to work alone I want my wife want to be with me if I ever have one

[DreamCrescent]

the question was would you be able to live with a wife exactly like yourself? like knowing your own defects in character, would you put up with someone like you?

[Iron_Man]

Opposites attract

[Iron_Man]

That’s my answer

[DreamCrescent]

interesting

[Iron_Man]

yes, indeed
my dear Watson, yes indeed

[Tom567456]

Work is different than living with someone...

[DreamCrescent]

either way. would you be able to work with yourself or would you be able to live with yourself as a partner. answer one or the other, up to you

[Tom567456]

Haha neither
