If you had a friend that treated you the same way you treated yourself

Considering my history with destructive friends who say horrible things, I probably would.
Not that that's a good thing.
I wish I could say I'd punch them in the face.

No way. I don't think I could have a friend who would have the same thoughts on me as I do about myself. They simply would never be my friend. Though if you mean who just treated me the same, no way. That would be an absolute nightmare.

Same.
I don't need a friend that treats me as badly as I treat myself.

No. I wouldn't want to be friends with me. I'm very critical in general, not just of myself, I'm not proud to say. I pretty much just have mean negative things to say. I don't want to be friends with someone like that. I couldn't deal with my mood swings and thinking I can say what I want. I don't think anyone should.

Ahahahaha, no. Never. I insult myself and condemn myself to isolation and sometimes death far too much to allow or put up with someone else doing it to me as well. But, I see where you're going with this

This is a very interesting question. At first I misread it and thought you were asking would I be friends with me.
But I would definitely not be friends with someone who treated me the way I treat myself. So, it makes me think that if I wouldn't accept this kind of behavior from a friend, I wouldn't allow someone else to treat me this way... why do I do it to myself?

I think because self hatred/self mocking is more acceptable, kind of like a person calling himself ugly or fat. If another person would call the person ugly or whatever it would be a terrible insult.
To answer the original question i would not want that person as a friend for sure.

No I would not be friends with someone who was as harsh with me as I am. I at least have that much self respect.

probably. i don't treat myself too terribly these days. I've had other people treat me WAY worse than I treat myself recently.

Yes, he may be curt and even rude, but his critics and assumptions about me, yet if may be pessimistic, are not groundless.

Well, I'm pretty horrible to myself and hate myself in nearly every way possible, so that would be a no.

It's an imaginative question I think and well worth contemplating.
I'm a little suspicious. So issues with self-trust?
Good to have the empathy from someone I can truly connect with.
I treat others well often putting them on pedestals. So putting myself on a pedestal would be interesting.
I don't make an effort to stay in contact so that would be a negative.
You know I can be hard on myself but really I am my own best friend and spend a LOT of time by myself. I get used to my self put-downs so really I've learned not to listen seriously to those un-useful thoughts. So yeah I can't wait to meet me!!
