Talking to yourself...

Post Reply New Topic

I talk to myself all the time.I also sing and hum alot.People say I have better conversatinos with myself than with anyone else!

I think I have an idea what 1st,2nd,and 3rd person is but just in case...what exzactly is it?

I always talk to myself. Thinking out loud. Or just a constant running commentary in my head. It's almost as though everything, every activity, every experience, must be somehow put into words, spoken or silent, in order to make sense.

I talk to myself when I am planning a dream computer game (which I cannot create) or instead a dream music album (which I cannot create).

I alsotalk to myself in first, second and third. Mainly in third and second.

And then Malcolm posted the comment.

Personally i see my different sides as different persons, which supplement _and_ fight eachother. It's interesting to conversate with them and hear them conversate with eachother, while still remaining one person to the outside world. Most talk to myself takes place inside my head. Call it a multiple personality disease if you want, but i have a great time with myself that way and it doesn't hurt anyone.

But that's probably just my weirdness 8)7

1st Person: I, we

2nd Person: you (singular and plural)

3rd Person: he, she, it, they

I have read somewhere in the literature it is not uncommon though for an Aspie to use 3rd person when refering to themselves as well. Though, of course, I cannot for the life of me recall where I read this... oi.

I love finding others with the same behaviors as me....
I talk to myself all the time.
Sophist, yes, I am constantly second person. And Prom, yes, I use we all the time.
I think it came from not having anyone really to talk to when I was growing up, so I talked to myself. I do everything another person would - I tell myself jokes, coax myself to do things, have conversations with myself over different issues, make decisions, argue, whatever. It really doesn't seem weird to me because it comes so naturally, I'm so used to it. It's not like I have another personality, there's only one of me, but I've learned somehow to take different opinions or thoughts I might have and play them against each other as if I was speaking to someone else - it's very entertaining and soothing to me.

I think that of all the things we do that we think are weird, almost always you can find someone else who does the same exact thing but will never confess to it...

I went to see a psychologist one time for some psych tests and I was at that time just discovering about me possibly having AS. Well, I told him I talked to myself a LOT, which is stated over and over in AS literature. This "seasoned" psychologist told me I talked to myself because I was lonely!

OMG! What an idiot. I mean, yes, I have spent and do spend a good amount of time alone, but I am rarely lonely, and I am often around my mother at the very least. I suppose I get lonely sometimes for someone I could perhaps really connect with, but by god! I talk to myself in public all the time! (I try to whisper and not move my lips too much). Idiots with Masters degrees! oi

I talk to myself in public, in a medium loudness and idiots interupt me! It really annoys me as I am trying to communicate with myself and then I have to piss them off with the story of the supreme ant.

There is a young couple in my neighborhood that seems frightened of me after witnessing me talking to myself. One night while out walking, I was talking to myself in an odd voice, repeating some inane statement. I was listening to music at the time and didn’t realize that a man and woman were walking behind me. When I looked back at them, the husband took his wife’s hand and led her across the street.

Now whenever I see those two, they cross the street to avoid me. For a time, I believed they perhaps thought I was homeless, because I was frequently wearing a large backpack. However, I no longer walk with the pack and they still cross the street when they see me approaching.

I sometimes talk to myself when no one is around me when alone.

Oh yes, my precious...

I may be similar to Gollum in the talking to oneself and the self-arguments, but my precious at the moment is not a ring. It is my little Glock 30c bb gun. It is my first and it is broken. I really enjoy the little guy. He has brought so much fun.
