Do you talk to yourself?

Post Reply New Topic

Constantly! I try to do it only when it's just me around, but I know that roommates and boyfriends have caught me here and there. Especially in the car too, because no one can hear me. If I'm really upset or extremely focused, my mental mono/dialogue will start escaping through my mouth in public, until I catch myself...sometimes I think I should just start wearing a non-functional Bluetooth, so people will assume my comments are directed at that, rather than myself.

Also, when I need to be organized (I was a waitress in the past, and I'm a nurse now) and do some extreme multi-tasking, I chatter lists to myself, but that's pretty well-accepted in both fields.

All the time.

My mother always commented on how I had loud and long conversations while in the bathroom. My brother always claimed to hear more than one voice

Seriously, though, I'm the smartest person I know so it only makes sense. Unfortuantly, since I'm so smart, I tend to confuse myself.

Yes. Very much so.

Yes, I've been known to do this especially when driving down a road by myself that is cause, I'd dare not be in a car with someone doing such out of being looked as being nutty as hell...

All the time more so when I am thinking. I also do it as a stim. I can do impressions,so I would talk to myself sounding like jimmy stuwart

how did I know I wasn't the only one?

I've talked to myself out loud as well as in a whisper, for most of my life. I used to talk in different accents and made up different characters (imaginary friends). By the time I was 14-15 I knew this was socially unacceptable when some people from my school, much to my chagrin, started to tell people that I pace back and force and talk out loud when no one else is around. I did this for years outside my house as I never had (or really wanted) friends.

Now I still pace around inside the room I live in and talk to myself in a quiet whisper, sometimes I accidentally raise my voice I imagine I'm talking to people that I know in real life and they sort of become my audience, it's sort of embarrassing but I don't let it bother me so much anymore. I bet a lot of people do it and just never think to mention it.

mentally, not physically though so im not sure if that counts *shrugs*

I talk to myself, and I talk to animals and plants and non-living objects.

I often do, and I tend to repeat funny quotes or excerpts I've heard with a certain pitch of voice that I like.

Yes, I even have a personification called Mzingu Mtwetwe which is very deserving of another thread

Anyway, with Mtwe I discuss I lot of issues about life and humanity

i talk to myself, but its not verbal. I'll lip the the words, but not actually produce sound. So if I'm having a discussion with myself about how i didn't agree with the TV show i just watched, i would think person a and lip person b. Its rather confusing. Think talking to yourself minus the actual sound.

For some reason as of late my sister keeps catching me doing it. I usually don't realize I'm doing it and she'll just ask if I'm talking to myself. she cool about it.

Yep, I think better when I can talk to myself

I talk to myself all the time. While I'm driving, watching TV, playing a video game, doing homework, and all other times that escape me at the moment.

I'm my best friend.
