I speak of myself in 3rd person all the time. It drove people are work nuts. They said it's creepy, weird and odd.

Look a bit of third person fun and banter is acceptable .... talking in the thirid person is annoying whilst WRITING in the third person seems forced and even more annoying .

Hey everyone, Ive been thinking and wondering again, "does this apply to just me?"
So this thoughts stuck in my head while trying to do my assignment -_-... god help me please...
anyways, do you find it easier to talk to someone about yourself in third person or even 2nd person, than in first person?
for example:
1st person: I, me, am etc.
2nd. She, He, It
3rd, One, they, oneself.

I tend to speak about myself to others, in a mixture of 2nd and 3rd person when i really cannpt find the words to describe myself in 1s person.

I guess this might just be me and a strange quirk i have, but i am curious if there are others.
but right now oneself must take herself back to ones assignment =)

Sometimes it is easier for me to do that depending on what I am specifically talking about and also depending on my stress levels and my levels of insecurity.

Shaun T talks in 3rd person, instead of saying "I" he says "Shaun T". It doesn't hinder him a bit. He's more popular than ever. After listening to him for so long, you just get used to hearing it. He'll always say stuff like "Shaun T's getting tired." Or "Shaun T is maxing out." He even made a funny about it once. He's sweet. :mrgreen:

You also CHOOSE to write / type in the 3rd person which is bordering on the ridiculous tbh.

Anyways found this little snippet which may explain things somewhat .

"Western characters who referred to themselves in the third person were traditionally seen as vain, unintelligent, egotistical, or self-absorbed — the implication being that he is so in awe of himself that even he views himself objectively."

Robin is taking a break from writing his new book. He wants to go for a walk but it's raining cats and dogs, so for now, he'll just stay put in the supermarket listening to Judas Priest on his computer.
