I have two answers because it depends on "you" (in your question).

First, think about talking to yourself; "What should I wear today?" (sometimes you even answer you: "The black shirt") In this way, you always are a you to you. In short, you are always a multiplicity of identities and not a singularity. Given this, everytime I walk down the street, I am always already meeting myself in the act (because I am a multiplicity of "you's" not a singular body). Thus, the answer to your question would be, "I always do...so I guess, I keep walking"

Second, if you want the question to mean the hypothetical way of two distinct bodies meeting, then I would say that the hypothetical is not just impossible on face of it but also because of deeper reasons. What makes YOU YOU is not only having a body distinct from others but also, and maybe more importantly, having THAT body live a specific, unique--both spatially and temporally--life. By definition, two entities that meet on a street have different "pasts" and thus different lifes; therefore, they could never be the same person.

Well, for those who have read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, I would think something had happened that was similar to what Hermione does with the Time Turner. In other words, I would run, and hide, and pray that it was all a bad dream

I'd freak out at first but then (since I'd be suspicious) I'd start asking the other me questions about myself to make sure she knew all the answers. After I had made sure she was really another me, I'd take her home and hide her somewhere so my friends wouldn't think I was weird because there were two of me. Or, we could just pretend to be twins!

I actually dreamt of this happening. I was me and I approached myself at about the age of 5. And what did the little me do? It cried and ran away.

So I guess I'd cry and run away.

I would ask myself if i wanted a cup of coffee and a long talk, cuz we really have to sort some things out thats been bothering me. and then maybe just maybe we could be at peace with us.

"holy chit, it's me!" I'd probably freak out and then would wonder...am I really that fat? Ooo honey your face is breaking out, what's up with the hair color?

lol I worry too much.

My sister is so close to me now it's crazy. We already screw with peoples heads. Returds.

I'll say hello to my opposite self, and shake hands with myself, for I never have chance to shake hands with myself :)
