I would really drive myself crazy if I had to live with myself.
I whine, complain and biiitch a lot, I have way to much energy to sit still and enjoy a good movie without getting up or talking through the whole show, it seems like when it's hot I want it to be cold and the other way around, luckily for me I have a mellow fellow who puts up with me cause I sure couldn't if it was the other way round.
Could you live with your crazy self?

You know, I think I could, actually, though other people find it very difficult to live with me.
I have a billion rules and very high privacy issues, so I guess me and my other self would need a house with two bedrooms, and we'd have two billion rules together, but if she cooks and cleans and keeps to herself, like I do, then we're safe

Nope! Big nope!
I'm crazy, depressed, and goofy. I'm weird, silly, and I like to fart a lot. My moods swing high and low, and I like to whine a lot. I can be thoughtful and caring, but I like to belch a lot. I love to learn different things but I love to sleep a lot. I'm as messy as hell but I love to bake a lot.
Nope, I can't live w/myself

Bascially, with my personality, I need a "solid rock" of sorts to depend upon,to calm me down, to be there for me, and to keep things under control. Someone who's tenacious,don't like to give up on things. My husband's like that.

A Good,Thought provoking Discussion!
Reading this,I'm reminded of a Quote by Robert("Rabbie") Burns,the Scots Poet..."Oh,Would someone the Giftie Gi'e us,to see ourselves as others see us..."
I just wanted to be clear on where You're coming from on this..are you talking about what it would be like to be your partner putting up with you,or what would it be like if YOU were the other person you were living with?!

Well, I don't think we really have a choice sometimes. I am learning to live with myself and I find it as hard living with others too. We are all just crazzzy.

no I could not live with myself
I am way to picky and certainly way too moody
I dont know how anyone lives with me
they must be some pretty awesome people to do so.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure you would have already lived with yourself many hundreds of day. At least for me, I have lived with myself donkey days and sure I have no problem continuing so. If I were to alienate myself, then I think I may go crazy instead.

this is an interesting and funny topic, missybear, lol.
personally, i think i could do that. so long as the mood swings don't get in the way of our reading and writing times. well, there may be conflicts on our preference of food on a daily basis and choice of movie genre now and then, but i guess the choice of music could still work. the only serious misunderstanding we could have is her crazy tendency to just up and about from the desk when she's bored or needs to have some fresh air even when there's a deadline waiting, lol.

Hey missy! We are so much alike! And no, I could never
live with myself! I'm alot like you and my bf is alot like
sconi. I'm always complaining about everything! Sometimes
it gets to him, but I think he mostly just ignores me. He
never seems to be listening to me anyway. I'm really a pain
in the azz~

It is good that you have a mellow guy...lol...I could live by myself but I don't want too. I think that it would be hard to be alone all the time. I like having my little family and they are growing up so fast. I actually wonder sometimes what I will do when they fly the coop....maybe I'll just visit alot and drive them crazy...hehe.

Yup i can....there have been numerous instances where i had enjoyed my state of being lonely.I had watched movies in theatres all alone...attented parties and had a nice time in there!Only moment i hate about is when i'm SAD...that is when few of my crazy habits like over-work outs and boozing come into .great day.

I don't think I could do that. when I don't like something I get really grumpy and I could drive crazy even the most calm person. and I have lot's of other flaws....so I don't think I could stand mysel. good question anyway

Sometimes I argue with my boyfriend over stupid stuff and afterward I think "How does he put up with me"?

Why not. So far I can get along with myself. I can tolerate almost all the things I do, lol. But seriously I really enjoy myself. That's why I can enjoy having a relationship with a friend on my type. I don't need anything bothering my life. That's what I like from myself. So, in this case, I wanna live with myself. I wanna see how will it be.

Yes, I think I could. It would be very difficult but not impossible. If I could have access to internet or something that could keep me entertained it would make the situation a little better. I would try to increase and build up my imagination to create things or maybe even imaginary people to make it a little realistic as ironic as it may sound. It would make me spiritually aware I hope or go insane.
