Do you talk to yourself?

Post Reply New Topic

I have always talked to myself but only do it when I am alone or when my husband or children are home, I will whisper to myself instead.

I will re-live a scenario by talking it out or when I'm upset about something I will argue as though I'm talking to that person or even just to plan my day or week I will say it aloud. Sometimes I wish I could stop because I've almost been caught doing it and don't want to appear crazy but I can't.

I admit I do talk to myself on occasion, but it's more like thinking out loud. I try to do that at home and when I'm alone because there's a stigma against those who talk to themselves because people think they're seriously mentally ill.

Yes. When I am stressed or nervous, I mutter things to myself. Also, sometimes I find myself saying something I'm thinking out loud.

I talk to my self a lot. Sometimes I "discuss" a subject - sometimes with an imaginary other. Sometimes I make my plans aloud - and sometimes (if I feel stressed) I´m just repeating Words. Sort of a vocal stim, isn´t it?

I used to talk to myself alot but I mostly talked about stuff I seen on TV. I kind of broke the habbit after others criticizing me for it.

Yes I do this too

I don't think it is just an ASD thing. I think that NTs are probably more aware of when not to do it so possibly don't get caught doing it as often.

I probably do this at work more than my colleagues but they all do it sometimes. though we all work in tax so maybe there are more Aspie traits in that demographic!

I talk to myself ALLLLL the time. My rule is: as long as I don't get into a heated debate around others or in public... eh, who cares.
Sometimes I even have a "stand-in" other person that "answers back" in the 1-person dialogues I can have lol. It's not really as creepy as it sounds because most of it is just in my head. It's just a way of sorting things out.

Yeah, I tend to talk with myself fairly often and many times argue with myself which is good because I always win. Other times I will talk with myself just because I want an intelligent conversation.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has conversations or arguments with themselves.

I talk to myself constantly.
Say comforting things to myself "it's going to be okay buddy".
Argue with myself "Go to bed, now!"..."Oh come on just another half hour"..."No! it's bed time right now!".
Give myself advice, warn myself, cheer myself up.
Myself is a great friend to myself....usually.

Of course I talk to myself. Sometimes, you just need some expert advice!

I always talk to myself
Sometimes reason through this notion that I'm not actually just talking to myself, but that something or someone I can't see is there and that is why I am motivated to perceive the need to talk to myself. It's also fun to do when I have a cup or something else I can use to make my already deep voice sound deeper or just make sound effects. I have too much fun with this

I'll be straightforward to say that I do but, it's a means by which sometimes I'm able to work through different tasks. However, I tend to be silent when I'm in the workplace for, I don't want people to think I'm more weird than already perceived.

Just when I'm alone, of course. It helps me feeling save and I can calm down a bit.
It's pretty funny and my conversations always end up being about deep stuff or
it becomes something like a story. Fortunately no one every came into my room when I talked to myself.
It would be pretty embarassing.

Yes, I talk to myself every now and then as well as argue with myself, too. I swear, no matter how hard I try to force my prefrontal cortex to subjugate my limbic system, it fails. Logic over emotion - that's how I like to roll.
