Talking to yourself

Post Reply New Topic

I talk to myself more often now than I did when I was a kid. Back then I did a lot less talking in general...

I talk to myself. Just like everybody else. But not verbally.

There is no such thing as one who does not.

I do this when I need to slow down and really concentrate on things. I also talk myself through all kinds of things. Not so much having conversations with myself, but definitely guiding myself through things.

I do, but don't think it's strange, just natural. My mother used to talk her way into doing things, and I've picked it up as well. Encouraging myself, and talking out the steps of a problem is what we do. I think it's a natural "vent" that our brains have. I'm sure everyone does this to a degree, verbally, or not.

I don't do the "crazy" type, where I think I'm actually talking to people. Don't mean to offend by that. I've been asleep and woken up, to start a conversation I've never remembered. Has happened multiple times, and I'm a little bit scared as I do this when I worry a lot, especially if I've got a secret. Would be a real awkward if I let some stuff out of my mouth, I'm almost possitive I've done this...

[edit]Exactly Livebird!

The day I answer myself, I think I could be in trouble.

I never had conversations with myself or anything like that, but sometimes I did/do. My father does that too, so maybe I picked it up from him.

I don't talk to myself out loud or anything, but I have constant internal dialogue with myself and others.

To be honest I think we're talking to ourselves no matter who we're talking to, we just see it in different ways.

I sometimes talk to myself but I try to get rid of this habit, mostly because my mother mocked me when she heard me then. So now I prefer to be careful about this.

Once I read 99 out of 100 people talk to themselves.

Yes I did this as a child and I do this as an adult.

i do it, sometimes in public even

Out loud, not that much. I do however have extensive dialogs in my head with fake people (I know the people aren't real, it just gives me someone to talk to). It's like Ballistic described.

Don't know it it's related or not, but as a baby I wouldn't cry when put down for a nap. Instead would babble myself to sleep.

i do not talk to myself because i already know what i am going to say.

I only talk to myself when no-one is listening. I try not to do it a lot. But I do sometimes do it when I'm working on one of my cars. When something isn't getting anywhere. "Why don't you f*****g ...[s**t ] " by the time I've finished it's off

I talk to myself all the time but never, or hardly ever in public. That would look weird and then people assume you have schizophrenia because they think you are talking to imaginary people or voices. I think out loud is what I do. I don't hear voices that much (its very rare) and I certainly don't talk to them if I do get voices. Even when I was young and I had a breakdown when I was 13 and heard voices I don't think even back then I talked to them. I don't remember my childhood before the age of 12 or 13. Its just too long ago. I am 25 years young now. Old!! Just remember to prove how old I am I remember the Atari and I thought it had good graphics and was realistic! Its so real! Now the best game is Crysis but I bet in 10 years we will say those graphics are old and they will have 3D games or virtual reality that you can use in your house. Now as you can tell, I am confused and getting off subject. Yay.

I never talk to myself out loud and I didn't do it when I was kid either. I don't like talking, so I don't do it more than necessary. I talk to myself inside my head though, I just don't feel the need to do it out loud.
