(I just had to ask! Lol) I've often wondered things like:
Would we all get along as well as we do here?
Would we "somewhat" recognize each other from our posts?
Would we become "real-life" friends?
I don't know, I just think it would be cool!
Thanks for this!

What an interesting question! I often had thoughts about what it would be like. I picture myself being beautiful and confident, when I am ugly and self-conscious.

But I wonder what it would be like. I think some of us would recognize each other. There are some close friendships that I have made and it would be cool if we all had the confidence to meet.

I think so too. I think it would be one heck of a party! Getting people from all corners of the world together with a common goal and getting to know different cultures & aspects at the same time. A celebration of our differences And similarities!

Yes it would be interesting indeed! I often wonder what it would be like, hope to hear other's opinions as well

It would be like a high school where we are separated by cliques but of psychiatric disorder. Of course people can be part of many "cliques" even if they don't have that psychiatric disorder.

No, I never thought of that. It would be the same as it always is with groups of people. I somehow both stick out and am ignored.

Yeah, but we wouldn't have to try to "fit in" with the "normal" people. I think there would be less judgment on us.

You know it! Anything we want! This is Our mental vacation. We can do whatever we want. Everyone relates to each other, no reason for fears, insecurities, judgments, rules....none of that. Just a good time to be had by all! I VOTE FOR A CONCERT!

True. If we act "crazy (using the term loosely)" we have a clear understanding that it's the mental illness. However I have seen arguments on here break out so IDK.

Well, I think I'd end up dating one of my friends here.

It would be super awkward meeting anyone in a certain sub-forum...Or anyone here in general. I'd rather not meet anyone from PC aside from my two good friends.

I don't know about any of the rest of you, but I'M TIRED of trying to "hide my crazy" & Conform to a society that ( I ) deem to be ABSOLUTE NONSENSE. This life is like some sort of Bootcamp to me and I don't even remember Enlisting for this crap! I am more "at home" here at PC with all of you than I am in the world! Here I don't have the "powers that be" barking out orders telling me where I've GOT to be & what time. Or how to raise my kids, or WHAT ARE WE GONNA HAVE TO EAT TONIGHT?? This one needs to go to the doctor, that one has truancy court, this one has school tomorrow, that one is out but I have to go to a conference, need stuff from the store, got to babysit, got to do laundry/housework/yardwork/feed the dogs and on and on and on nonstop. OMG ENOUGH ALREADY!! I just want to be around people WHO GET THIS!

aw c'mon! Not even if we were all at a concert/party just for us? We wouldn't be in some sterile environment sitting in groups or anything.

How about a cruise ship with only PC passengers (besides the wait staff)? Destination Bahamas!

hmmmmm

The last time I went to an open bar wedding reception one of my friends came into the bathroom to check on me and grabbed me by my hair as I got acquainted with the toilet and said, "yep, she's drunk". But I won't be driving so maybe a six drink maximum for Yoda before the bartender cuts me off.

Deal! Just make sure I don't decide that I can sing & dance. And if I do, kindly lead me back to my room before I make too big of a fool of myself!

No karaoke for Alone & Confused. Gotcha. We'll team up to keep you from making a fool of yourself and keep me from drowning in the loo.

Or falling overboard. Maybe I should wear a safety vest before I start drinking....

Just exactly what are maritime laws regarding cannabis?

Let's see ...

1. My friends like to say that, "If Webgoji don't like you, then you really are an ^$%hole." So yeah, I get along with just about everyone.
2. Since I failed the short-term memory test at the neurologist the other day, I probably wouldn't, nor would I remember anyone's names.
3. Sure!

As far as karaoke and stuff. Well, you don't want to see that. It will look and sound like this:

Does anyone else wonder what it would be like if All met as a group in real life?

As a matter of fact, I kinda look like this as well.
