This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I was talking to a friend of mine about whether or not we would get along with exact copies of ourselves. He didn't think that he would want to spend much time with his copy, but I thought I would love my own company in that sense. We would have the same values, the same goals in life, the same likes and dislikes, the same hobbies, the same sense of humor, etc. And all that is just with a same-sex copy of myself that I would have no attraction to. An opposite sex (but still heterosexual) copy would also have the same sex drive and the same weird fetishes.

Anyway, it's still probably not worth fracturing one's psyche for but with good arguments for each side. Reasonable people can disagree.

If you had an exact copy of yourself you could finish the pile of shame twice as fast
