Are you friends with yourself?

[norwich36]

This particular poll of randomosity was inspired (a) by toadstoolsmiles magnificent confidence in her own self-love (if you don't know what I'm talking about, go here and here) and (b) looking up a couple people's profiles today and noticing they had themselves friended.


[Poll #1043523]

And if you would friend yourself, assuming you were a different person friending the person you are now, why would you friend yourself? Please take this as an excuse to talk about how cool you are in the comments.

Self-praise: it's the next best thing to sex with your own clone!

I thought everyone friended themselves so they become a signpost on their flist. I post most days, and I use my entry as a way to figure out where other posts on my flist are. Does that make sense? I'm pretty sure people don't friend themselves just because they think they're awesome (even if they do think that).

I would totally friend me. My LJ is entertaining!

Oh, what a sensible reason to do it--though that, I imagine, works better for you since you post every day, whereas I don't. (I can usually remember that I've already read certain entries, though).

I didn't think people friended themselves for reasons of conceit--I assumed it was so they could see their own entries more easily. It was the second part of the poll that was the self-love part.

And yes, your LJ is totally entertaining! Everyone should friend you.
