I keep talking to myself!

Post Reply New Topic

I am currently in a conversation with me.. I want to stop now that I relieze I am doing it but I keep talking. as it seems I don't know when to shut up.

If you ask me, I think having conversations with yourself is healthy.

I think's natural and healthy to say what you're thinking out loud. If you keep all your thoughts to yourself, you start to become emotionally ...constipated.

There's a park in my town I like to go to during the day. There's nearly no one there. Especially when school is in session. When there's no one there, it's just this big empty park and me and you can bet I'm walking and talking to myself about things that are troubling me. It's quite the freeing experience.

i tell my body to stop twitching, jerking and jolting....also i tell myself 'your ok, your alright, continue'....and on an average day i tend to say outloud (not deafening you understand) 'you'll go into the kitchen, you'll feed Elodie (youngest child), then you'll get the other two (older children) in and then that'll be ok' to which i reply 'ok, thats alright, thats what i'll do'...

so not a full blown chat as such

I do that sometimes.

I chat away to myself all the time when I'm alone. Actually I probably talk more when I'm alone than I do in company!

hey, who better to talk to?

I talk to myself, in order to resolve my social problems. I can't turn to my parents, and the shrinks that I've gone to, were Idiots.

Yes, I talk to myself. I read an item from my list at the library so I can find the exact book I need.

I am trying to break my fear of posting because this one hits home.

WHEW. I thought I was crazy. I have done this my whole life. I thought it was from being isolated so long. I do sort of a conversation to myself but not out loud. It is like teaching myself to deal with things. I also think its a stimming thing. I am so good at this that I can do it in a room full of people. At least I feel better now that I know that others with aspergers do this too.

Me, Myself, & I are always in a three way conversation.

I don't have conversations with myself, and I don't do a running commentary on what I'm doing. I only think out loud when I'm nervous because it calms me.

I do that too sometimes. Sometimes, I sing to myself too. Does anyone else sing to themselves?

i talk to myself

when i wa little, i would use those "L"shape box-drink straws as kinda a wakie-talkie to myself. i would put the short end to my mouth and let the long end go up to my ear and i would either cup it to my head or actually tape it there. but this allowed me to whisper to myself all day without anyone hearing what i was saying.

i talk to myself still... but only in my head. it's not really someone else talking to me though.

I write, so talking to myself is tax deductable. To write I have to see how GI Joe or Barbie would respond to the same situation, and then how they would argue about what it means.

A book with only one charecter, and that perfectly normal, would not sell. Look at Shakespear, his charecters talk to themselves at length, and it is the best part.

Any one thing can become tiring, Humans are endless, so ramble. This can cause headaches.

Try writing it as dialog. mental stuff, great ideas, fade like dreams, and keep coming back, bad writing hangs around. Writing gives a visual subject to revision. I was a great ranter and had nothing to show for it, the same for great thinkers, who never express it. Bad writing is real, and can be improved.

We are more objective about our written word. We keep the good stuff and sweep the rest under the rug.

My advice to writers is write, burn it, write some more, burn it, for our heads are full of garbage, and what is good, is the current stuff, deleating files is good for the hard drive. As long as it is in there, it is in there, once written, it is out and used.

When my head was full I could not fill a page. Once I got some out I could write several pages. When a hard drive fills up it has no blank spot to write to, so information processing slows to a crawl. Once old files are printed out and deleated, that open spot is available for processing. Then I can write many pages, for I have a empty field to pull them from the files and order them.

Thinking and writing are very different. I write it all, without thinking, it is an open relief valve. I write some real garbage that got stuck to another idea I was working. Let it out, for it can be deleated later. It cannot be if it is left in the head.

The inner dialog is almost gone now. I talk to myself still, but as a director, preparing the inner cast for application in written work. Science Fiction is excapest, murder mystries homicidal, and a lot of people write porn. Switching around gets more cobwebs out.

I wrote a lot of history, anthropology, as that is what I read. It was in there, I could remember it, but through writing my own ideas, linked works I had read, updated information, and turned all into one story, my understanding of thousands of books read. I could not do that inside, it had to come out.

It opens space, orders processing, and my thinking is current, not recycling disturbing thoughts from long ago over and over.

Hand flapping is aspie, throw in a keyboard and it is acceptable. Talking to yourself is called bad, writing to yourself is called art. It did work well for me.
