Would You Like To Live With You?

No. I didn't make a typo...Would you like to live with you is the question. Relationships are important in eveyone's life. Friends, family and a close personal relationship with your significant other or spouse are all relationships most of us base our lives around. Each of these relationships have their ups and downs for whatever reason. So, the next time you have a issue with someone, before you blow off any disagreement or offense, take a look at yourself and ask yourself, "How you YOU like to live with you"? Do you think you are easy to live with, easy to get along with? Are you selfish? Is it all about you or do you sacrifice anything to keep from disagreeing or offending anyone? Would you like living with you?

In some ways I would not mind living with me. But now that you pose a question like that, I am a mess cat. Sometimes I can be whiney and grumpy. I am pretty much considerate. It is easy for me to make others comfortable, because I go by how I would feel, if I were them. A lot of times I do not express how I really feel until I am angry about something else. Then when I do finally go off about it, I sound like a raving lunatic, LoL. I really like this question, but I will have to do some more thinking about it.

When you start having conversations with yourself in the mirror is when things are going to get tough...LOL

I don't think I would have a problem living with me. I actually think I would be a great person to live with. I'm one who keeps things clean, who is fun to be around and who loves to be around other people. I'm a very easy person to live with, and to get along with. It is very rare that I get mad and even if I get mad I get over it really quickly. I am selfish on ocassion but it has to be something that I know is mine and that nobody else should be having. I do sacrifice for alot to keep out of arguements.

I guess we all would enjoy living with ourselves at most points. Can one get mad at one's self?

I think that i am an easy person to get along with. I think that i am fun and funny, and don't hold a grudge. i do know that i don't bite my tongue nor do i sugar coat the truth as i know and see it. I know that I love my friends and family. I am not now nor ever sacrifice my views just so someone else feels good about a situation. that is not who i am nor ever choice to be. I know you can not offend people with honesty. Sometimes the truth is painful to hear or see. in that pain we all find the strength to go on. I am a very loving and giving person, who will admit i have my moments when i am not the best person to be around. so when i am feeling that way i like to seprate myself from other to get my head together.

Oh god no. Absolutely not! I am a perfectionist, I am immature, I am loud, I need my space. I need my privacy I don't like people in my space, I don't like people snooping through my stuff. I am anal retentive about some things lol. I also know that I would do things just to pee myself off like move things out of place lololol

Mental, sometimes lol.... I had this friend Rob (best friend-moved to Virginia) he would visit me and move things just to annoy me. OH god I wanted to punch him sometimes. He would do it when I wasn't looking and at first I wouldn't realize he had done it and when I'd notice things were different i would just fix them. Then he'd mess them up again and I'd fix them again. By the 4th or 5th time I would begin to think I was Nutts because "hadn't I just fixed that already?" at which he would start laughing. I'm not as bad as I used to be. Literally I used to alphabetisize my soups. LOL I would so mess with my head if I had to live with me.

This is an excellent question! As I sit here and think about it, nope..I live with myself every day already and most days I don't like it. Being my husband can be very difficult, this is know. I have anxiety issues, and sometimes I am not a very easy person to talk to. Friends are different, they LOVE to come to talk to me about their problems, but their problems don't affect my life so my reaction is a whole lot different than my husband coming to me and telling me something I don't want to hear. Short answer..no, I would not like to live with me. But, I will take your advice and think about it the next time he comes to me with something uncomfortable. I am also starting therapy in addition to my meds soon. Hopefully by the end of 2008 I will want to live with myself!

I don't think id like to live with myself, because i would be to spontanious. My strong will and that i can be quite persuesive make it tought to live with myself. Besides that i would find it disturbing, it rather live by myself. Besides that i don't like some parts of myself and having a second pare of stuff i don't like about myself is something i dont want.

I already know that I'm not the easiest person to live with. Which is why I love and appreicate my spouse as much as I do. He puts up with me and all my crazyness every day. I am a clean freak, a neat freak and can be bossy as hell. Frankly I get on my own nerves sometimes.. now that being said.. I still think I'm a pretty fun person to live with. Hell I keep me entertained thats for sure.

Yes indeed i would actually like to live with myself....infact i've been living with myself well over ten years now...and im enjoying it fully...when you live with yourself, you have the freedom to be yourself. you dont have to be controlled by anyone else. nobody will question you around. you can take your sweet time to do what you pleae. speacially if you have physical condition where you need a hell lot of privacy to do what you want to do. things like you want to sleep alone . when you come back home after a hard day's work you dont want people to disturb your sleep...specially if you are working shifts...so i love living with myself...
