Are you anybody's favorite person?

[Eloel]

I'm not sure if this fits here or in Media Discussion, but I think it's better off here.

First, the link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asyWVtoCjNM)

Apparently, it's a short-film from a few years ago. I stumbled upon it today, and asked myself the question.

The answer was simple and fairly certain, if a bit depressing.

So, I wonder what it makes you guys think/feel.

[Eldan]

No. And yes, it's depressing.

[Drascin]

Only my little sister's. She's my favorite person too, though, so that's alright by me :smalltongue:.

[Sipex]

Hells yes.

Although I've realised that I don't need to be anyone's FAVOURITE person, just as long as they still like having me around and having fun with me.

[Meg]

No. I'm not even my dog's favorite person.

I have a lot of people I love and who love me, but I'm nobody's favorite.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Yup, my lovely girlfriends favorite person.:smallsmile:

[Cobra_Ikari]

I'm not even my own favorite person. But I'm also pretty sure I'm no one's least favorite person. *shrugs* So it could be worse.

[KenderWizard]

Yes, I'm my boyfriend's favourite person! And he's mine too.

My dad and I have never forgiven my little brother for saying that our mom was his favourite (which was fine by us) and his favourite rock was his second favourite person!

[Syka]

Yes. I'm very certain I'm Oz's favorite person (or at least tied for the position).

He ties for the position with my mom and my best friend. I could never chose.

We can have more than one favorite, right?

[Trog]

Nope. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSVzvVLgDfA) :smallcool:

[Manga Shoggoth]

I'm currently my daughter's favourite person. I love the run-up to Christmas...

[Lillith]

I doubt I am. Yes that is depressing since I'm in a relationship. Then again I don't have favorites either. Unless you count my cats.

[Castel]

Can I count as my own favorite person?

Anyone else found it weird that future Will Ferrell went back in time to make that survey? :smalltongue: (I know, I know, different, near identical actor that's lampshaded the fact before, but still!)

[Blue Ghost]

I don't have a favorite person, and I don't need one, 'cause I love all my friends equally. So why would I need to be anyone else's favorite person?
(I don't know, and I don't care.)

[Lolzords]

One. It's nice to have just one.

[Don Julio Anejo]

Yes, I am! A lot of people tell me I'm their new favourite person. It helps that I suit up. True story! :biggrin:

And no, haven't seen the video and won't for a while since I'm killing time in a boring class.

[arguskos]

No. Never have been, even in relationships.

[Dogmantra]

That film wasn't depressing at all. I thought it was actually quite happy. The woman almost instantly thought of someone whose favourite person she was. Even if it turns out that she was wrong, clearly the person was nice enough to jump to the forefront of her mind. Doubly so that it's her ex, who I understand often have bad relations after a breakup. "Are you sure?" makes people think the questioner knows something they don't or disapproves or that the questionee has given the "wrong" answer. You can get someone to disagree with what they actually believe by asking "are you sure?". The dude immediately knew he wasn't anyone's favourite person, not even his girlfriend, but there's a crucial point there: he was happy. He understood that he wasn't anyone's favourite person, but didn't let it affect him. It's nice to know that even though it was a story, there are people who are happy despite not having someone who holds them in such great esteem they'd call them their favourite. The man at the end was tricky to understand. Maybe he was upset that he didn't have anyone to call him their favourite. Maybe he was just truly uninterested. So yeah, I kind of found it rather optimistic. But then I find depressing undertones in nearly everything happy so it makes sense.

As for me... there are two people that I would say maybe I'm their favourite person. Can't imagine for the life of me why.

[ghost_warlock]

I don't really go out of my way to get people to like me, so it'd come as some surprise to discover I'm even in someone's Top-10. With, perhaps, a single exception, anyway. And, even then, there's much-more prominent and qualified people for that list.

I can't say that I really find this to be particularly depressing, though, it's just the way things are. I may as well find gravity to be depressing...

Not entirely sure I have a favorite person. I have a number I'm exceptionally fond of, but things are too uncertain to really nail down a definite #1.

[Kastanok]

I'm depressed enough without watching the video but...

No. No I am not anyone's favourite person. With most people I'm not even sure if they actually like me at all or just tolerate my occasional presence.

[Rae Artemi]

To put it simply, yes.

I am the person that she trusts the most, the only male outside of her family that she trusts at all. I apparently keep her afloat and never let her fall (literally or figuratively). I'm also too stupid or afraid to tell her how I really feel, but I'm fine with being her best friend and just being there for her, because that's just how I am.

[ghost_warlock]

So, about an hour and a half ago, one of my roommates (who doesn't browse this forum, let alone read this thread) told me I was her favorite person. Fairly certain it was in jest, but it's still weird.

[Skeppio]

Hmm....not that I know of, no. And it's fairly depressing. :smallfrown:

Never mind. Turns out I under-valued myself, and have a friend who saw my post and told me how wrong I was. :smallredface:

[Partof1]

Yeah, i'd say I'm nobody's favourite. Anyone by whom I may be favoured is not likely to think about stuff like that.

Though I guess it's fair, as I don't have a favourite person myself.

[Coidzor]

Pfft. No. I'm a bad guy. (http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Strong_Bad_is_a_Bad_Guy)

[RabbitHoleLost]

Nope. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSVzvVLgDfA) :smallcool:
:smalltongue:
Puh-leaze. Stop lying just to link your awesome music.

[thubby]

i would hope my girlfriend

[leakingpen]

my wife says im hers, but its REALLY close between me, our son, and her sister.

im definitely my sons favorite person.

[MountainKing]

Probably not; it's my fault for traveling with a suitcase full of pistols and money (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyH_NxJ86vs). :smallbiggrin:

[Kuma Da]

Here is how you win the favorite person game: become your own favorite person.

Seriously. Never anchor your self-esteem to someone else. Anchor it to you.

Alternately, you can "surprise adopt" someone at a young age and keep them completely isolated from the rest of the world, so that you're effectively the only person they know. Teach them that the rest of the world has been overrun by alien monsters that kill on sight and that the only way you can keep them safe is to hide them away because there's something about them that makes them especially susceptible to being found by the aliens. When you have to leave the "compound" it's, of course, a dangerous mission to scrounge for whatever survival necessities you can find. Bonus points if you convince them that random people they may inadvertently catch sight of are actually aliens wearing the skins of dead people as disguises.

[Viera Champion]

I'm pretty sure I'm no one's LEAST favorite person... Does that count?

[lord of kobolds]

I'm in the top 3ish for someone. I come in second only to his parents. He is the 2-year-old son of one of my teachers.

[Half-Orc Rage]

Probably not. I know that when I date, they seem to prefer hanging out with their friends over me. There was the one girl who seemed like she really needed me more than anyone else, but she moved on pretty quickly after it was over. My parents seem to prefer my brother, especially since he went to Iraq, over their weird underachieving older son that went to art school. I am friends with people but I have not had what I would call a best friend in several years. I think people like me, they think I'm a nice guy if a little odd, but I don't think I'm anyone's favorite or even make any top 5 lists.

Oh, and Rae- If you got feelings for her, make your move. Life is too short to wonder about it and hesitate forever.

[The Rose Dragon]

I'm my mom's favorite person. And my dad's. And my grandmother's.

Wow, three people already.

[Trog]

:smalltongue:
Puh-leaze. Stop lying just to link your awesome music.

o///o ... okay.

<3

[DeadManSleeping]

I'm not, but I don't have a favorite person either.

[Castaras]

Yes. :smallsmile:

[Starbuck_II]

I am my own favorite person.

But other than that I'm not sure.
My mom says I'm her heart (so maybe), but that could just be because I'm the baby of her boys (I have 3 brothers).

[Kallisti]

No, I'm not, but eh, it's not like I need to be. It's not a competition; I have no need to be more important to any of my friends than, say, the people in their families.

[Shyftir]

No. Next stop depression thread. Actually no, I'm not depressed but I am moody and saw this thread at a bad time. ...sigh

[Recaiden]

No.

I've often asked that question of myself, wondering why I'm not good enough, and the answer has always been 'no'. :smallsigh: It bothers me sometimes, but not often. Spite is enough of a reason for anything, and I have a lot more than that, even if not of it quite measures up to being someone's favorite.

I do have a best friend now, so that's a step up from most of my life. :smalltongue:

[leakingpen]

well, I'm my,uhh, (counts mentally) fourth favorite person, but thats because I know some really awesome people.

Forced Stockholm Syndrome, good times, good times.

I think I'm my dad's favorite person, though I could be wrong. I don't have a favorite person, it's just a blanket "I like" or "I don't like". I like the people I do for different reasons, so rating them just wouldn't work out that well, and the people I dislike don't matter anyway. If I had to choose someone it would probably be my dad.

[Temotei]

My girlfriend's, Hoover's (one of my dogs), in the top two for my brother, and maybe number one for my other dog, Eddie.

I'm cool with that.

Oh, and I'm very certain for the first, confident for the second, very certain for the third, and think so for the fourth.

[CrimsonAngel]

I'm my little cousin's favorite person. :smallsmile:

Which gives me an idea.

[Moonshadow]

No, I'm not. I wish I was, but I just don't see it happening.

[Eadin]

Used to be
But I don't think I'm anyone's favorite now

[Cobra_Ikari]

Used to be
But I don't think I'm anyone's favorite now

Dunno why, but this makes me sad. =\

You can be one of my favorites! *hugs*

[Shas aia Toriia]

I'm pretty sure I'm somebody's favourite person. 90% certain, and there's my little ego boost for the day. :smallsmile:

[Skeppio]

Used to be
But I don't think I'm anyone's favorite now

You're one of my favourites. *hug* :smallsmile:

[dish]

I am the favourite person for two people! *Glows in the abundance of riches* (Both of them are rather fickle, so I'd better get my glowing done quickly.)
My girlfriend's, Hoover's (one of my dogs), in the top two for my brother, and maybe number one for my other dog, Eddie.

I'm cool with that.

Oh, and I'm very certain for the first, confident for the second, very certain for the third, and think so for the fourth.

Ooh, Temotei, you've reminded me that I'm also the favourite person for one dog and one cat. (The second cat despises all humans equally.)

[Obrysii]

I'm pretty much a burden on everyone, so no - no one's favorite.

[Eruantion]

I'm my wonderful girlfriend's favorite person :smallbiggrin: and she's absolutely mine :smallsmile:

[Perenelle]

^ d'aww. =3

I'm my kitty cat's favorite person. :smallbiggrin: I know i'm my boyfriend's favorite person as well. *looks up* :smalltongue:

[Eruantion]

Haha, did you have any doubt, Perry? :smalltongue:

[Perenelle]

Oh shush. =P



Wait, I'm also my annoying little dog's favorite person. Unfortunately.:smallannoyed:

[Cobra_Ikari]

Wait, I'm also my annoying little dog's favorite person. Unfortunately.:smallannoyed:

Always an unfortunate thing. :smallamused:



I just had a random idea to make an imaginary friend that I would be the favorite person of. It was supposed to just be silly, but now I'm a little depressed. =\

[Perenelle]

It is! I think she's by far one of the most annoying animals i've come across. :smallyuk: and she never stops barking. Especially at dinner.


D:
You're my favorite internet-y forum dwelling person whom i've never met, Cobra! *hugs*

Okay, I suppose you can also win the hard way. But, really, that's a lot of effort.

*yawns* I'm my own favorite person because I'm way too lazy for that kind of skullduggery. Evil is work.

[Cobra_Ikari]

D:

Aww, well, thank you, Perry. You're one of my favorite people, too.

[MonkeyBusiness]

I am pretty darn sure my pets all worship the ground on which I walk. And I earned my position as Divine Monkey, because I am the bestest Pet Mommy I know.

I have many friends I love dearly; but quite frankly, none of them are as loyal, trusting, and openly affectionate as my dog or my bunny.

.

[Skeppio]

I can safely say that you guys are my favourite community. :smallsmile:

Aww. This is a shame, you're a pretty awesome person. *hugs*

[Dust]

Seconded!

I've spent years working hard at not being anyone's favorite person if I didn't remotely return the sentiment. It worked. It's better than it sounds.

[Perenelle]

Aww, well, thank you, Perry. You're one of my favorite people, too.

D'aaws. :smallsmile: *hugs*


I can safely say that you guys are my favourite community. :smallsmile:


Seconded!


Thirded! ^.^ The Playground is by far my favorite community.

[ghost_warlock]

Recently discovered that, apparently, I'm one of the least favorite people of one of my most favorite people. Ah, exes... :smalltongue:

[bluewind95]

Of course not! No one is THAT foolish. :smalltongue:

[Temotei]

Seconded!

I've spent years working hard at not being anyone's favorite person if I didn't remotely return the sentiment. It worked. It's better than it sounds.

I think Creed is fairly admiring of you right now...:smalltongue:

[Mecharious]

I'm definitely not.

[TheBibliophile]

I highly doubt it.

[Diva De]

I think so.
But I certainly HOPE so!

[darbythegambler]

I'm everyone's favorite :smallcool: kidding aside, I am someone's favorite, and she's one of my favorites too, she's my girl bro, best buddy no matter what.
