I think I would get along with myself. I think my attitude towards others is about the same as what I'd like to receive from others. At least that's what I think. I sometimes make silly comments (for example, in reply to a question) that other people might find humorous, but that I probably wouldn't find so funny when I'm waiting to get a serious answer. And I could probably think of a few examples where I would totally piss myself off, but other than those few rare moments, I think we would get along well.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who do/say things that would tick them off if it were done/said to them. I have a coworker who is pretty impatient with others and has a terse attitude when speaking to people. At the same time, he also seems like the kind of person who can't stand being treated disrespectfully. He wouldn't get along with himself.
The topic here isn't whether other people would get along with you, but simply whether you would get along with an exact replica of yourself - maybe not physically (because no one wants to see your ugly mug twice), but in attitude, personality, speech, nuances, habits, and so on. They say opposites attract. So, do duplicates repel?
So... would you?
