Why do Aspies talk and sing to themselves?

Post Reply New Topic

I can't because even if there is no one else in the house, I'm paranoid that I'm being watched and recorded.

I'm not sure it makes me feel any less lonely.

I like to think of it as "keeping my eye in"........if I didn't talk to myself when I was alone, I'd probably not be so fluent when I finally do get the chance to converse with other people. So it's like a rehearsal. Though it has a lot of other functions as well.

I sing to myself, what I don't understand is why I sing songs that really really annoy me. For instance I listen to heavy metal, but when I burst into song, which is frequent, it's something from the Andrew Sisters or Hall & Oats!

I don't really talk to myself, but I do tell myself to 'Shut Up!' when I start singing something particularly embarrassing.

I don't know if they all do it. I do it because it's fun.

I only talk to myself.

Although I whistle occasionally, I almost never talk/sing to myself. When I was much younger (primary/elementary school age) I would hum all the time. I stopped doing it because my parents gave me a hard time over it. Today I am much more self-conscious and rarely do it, even in private

I have no idea why but sometimes I might talk out loud to myself and sometimes I have "conversation" with myself inside my head. Somehow I tend to argue about something with my own mind inside my head not out loud..

I both sing and talk to myself. I don't know exactly why lol

judging by your signature ["If the world ain't gonna bring happiness to my door, F**k it, I will make my own then!"] i'd guess that when you sing and talk to yourself, you are making your own happiness, just as i do. just a thought.

I both sing and talk to myself.

Singing because I have a song I like stuck in my head, and if I don't sing it, a particular line will repeat itself in my head over and over and seriously annoy me. If it's a song I don't like, of course, singing it will annoy me even more, so I sing a different song.

I talk to myself because it seems to make my thoughts 'louder' and therefore easier to follow. I especially seem to get the urge to talk to myself when I'm walking, so when I'm in a really thoughtful mood I'll pace and talk to myself.

I do a little bit of both. I tend to only talk to myself when I am stuck on some sort of problem I am working on and just thinking about it or writing it down wont fix it. When I try to just talk to myself in my head it always seems kind of unclear and slow going... not really sure how to explain it?? If I vocalize my thoughts though (say them out loud) it is like I am re-inputting them into my head in another format and it reinforces them, makes them seem clearer or something.

Singing is just kind of a release I think, lots of times I sing folk songs but I will change all the words around to be goofy takes on those songs. Singing/music in general just makes me feel better. Plus I want to be a better singer (I have quite a poor singing voice) and practice makes perfect (well... better anyway).

I didn't put that I sing to myself because that is normal.I talk to myself because usually it's a over load of emotional confrontation in my head or I'm imagining what a person would say to me.Sometimes it's a imaginary conversation.Sometimes I just wanna verbalized my thoughts
