Talking to yourself

Post Reply New Topic

I talk to myself (unintentionally, of course). I write, and I like to plan out the conversations that my characters have. Most of the time I end up saying the dialogue aloud and I end up repeating a certain bit of dialogue. My mom thinks I'm crazy now. Eh. Too bad.

When getting caught talking to yourself there is that awkward silence......... When I begin most my sentences talking to my self I start saying "lets see.... followed by whatever else I am going to say what my plan is for today etc.

I keep talking to myself and i am kind of addicted to it...most of the time i talk to myself or laugh alone...
my lil son finds it weird and he keeps asking me why i am doing that??

Yes. All the time. I actually freak out a bit when someone says something I didn't anticipate.

EDIT: I don't really freak out I just freeze up for a moment sometimes.

Not loudly, but I'm currently dictating my own album reviews to myself, which I'm never going to write down.

I do it in my head. But out loud I don't see the problem. Other than maybe a person not knowing about other learning styles.

As long as your processing info. Kinda like a person with a bluetooth ear piece in his ear lol

Play Acting, would be the same thing, playing both parts.

I've been talking to myself a lot recently, I actually thought I was going mad. It's usually sub-concious so I catch myself talking, but often I'm on my own when it happens.

I have ADHD-PI and I have mental conversations with myself when I feel misunderstood. Internal monologue usually remains hidden in the subconscious mind, but can come up consciously when in stressful situations. For people with ADHD-PI, it's as if there's always constant mind chatter and internal monologue can be quite distracting.

Edit: When I'm alone and stress out, I may rant out loud too

I only talk to myself when I'm on my own in the house, and I make sure I'm on my own too, because I don't know why but I am so afraid of being caught talking to myself. Well, everybody often mutters the odd words to themselves, but I mean when I talk to myself I start talking loudly as though I'm on stage, and I even pace around the house ranting to myself about general life situations, and I put the world to rights.

I tend to talk to myself all the time. Mostly in terms of 'thinking outloud' concept. My sister does it too ( High Functioning Autism). I do it all the time at work. Normally I walk to fast for people to notice and my co-workers were the first to notice. I always feel like I am judged heavily on it. I don't really know what to do regarding it. But I know at least one of my managers thinks I hear voices. I don't. I have explained to this guy over and over again logically and I don't think he believes me at all. I felt so alone sense I can't stop myself from doing it. It's nice to hear about others whom do this as well. Thanks to everyone sharing there two cents on the subject.

I do this all the time. There aren't any visible signs though. I don't think you need to stop doing it, in a lot of ways it helps calm me to have prepared, and helps me to feel less anxious. Maybe go somewhere private to do it if other people are picking up on it and don't like it.

I do go to private areas to do it. I mostly work the floor putting clothes away. I don't do it at the register luckily. I mostly do it in my room. It just feels nice that others do it and I am not alone on the subject.
