I heard in a movie today someone saying "you strung out. I strung out. Don't like to me".

Can you tell me what that could mean?

you strung out. You're strung out.
I strung out. I'm strung out.
Don't like to me. I think you misheard. Maybe 'Don't look like to me', ie 'it doesn't look like it to me'.

Or "Don't lie to me."

Thanks Clive and Khoff.

Yes Khoff, I meant "Don't lie to me", sorry it was a typo. So, what does that mean by "I'm strung out" here? I don't think he meant he was on some drug.

Khoff · Answer

I think someone might say that to mean "under a lot of stress, exhausted, nervous, on edge."  Does that fit the context any better?
