Do you talk to yourself?

pretty sure the answer is yes. i think everyone talks to themselves

but to what extent?

I'm pretty bad about it at home by myself. Silence is very weird to me. When i'm around other people or a populated area I feel at ease, without neccessarily having to say anything.

when i think about it, at least at home...i literally say a fairly large portion of the thoughts that come out of my head. Especially when i'm trying to figure out what i need to do, etc and organize my thoughts
 
I do, but not out loud.

i talk to my cats and dogs constantly though.
 
I used to think i was the only one with serios issues lol..
I catch myself sometimes then i'm like wtf. I try to regroup myself by taking deap breaths and clearing my head.
 
ok, everyone talks to themselves in their head. there's not 1 single person with full cognitive function that doesn't on this earth. don't really think that needs an explanation

i meant outloud :)
 
I don't really talk to myself in the sense that I verbally communicate my thoughts to myself. I do, however, imagine/replay conversations or speeches outloud. Sort of like an actor practicing lines, I suppose. Sometimes I make up situations. Like, if Alyssa Milano was standing in front of me, I'll spit mad game at her.

/ creepy
 
LOL...
I caught myself talking to Thandie yesterday outside on the cell phone... I was caressing a wall. I just happened to be facing a wall when we were having one of our 'moments', and like I guess my feelings for her, I was expressing by running my hands up and down this brick wall Unconsciously...
I think the neighbors think I'm out the doough mentally. That and cinemax late night talks dont' really fit the Waldenesque type atmosphere...
Oh well.

Clearly, I missed something lol.

You and Thandie, huh? :rose:
 
I have been talking to myself for many years. (Big surprise, I know LOL) Matter of fact when things would get really REALLY bad I would have conversations with myself in the mirror (to negate all of the nasty negative messages that my brain was sending me).

Common conversation my husband and I have with a fair degree of frequency:

OG - "What was that baby?"

ME - "I wasn't talking to you."

(There is no one else in the room, car, etc.)

The Old Grump then expresses some sort of irritation because he was responding when I wasn't talking to him.

ME - "If I say something that is barely audible to you then it wasn't meant for you to hear. You know damned well I talk to myself."


































Ironically when I AM talking to him most of the stuff I say goes in one ear and out the other.

:whatever:

^^^Wedded bliss. LOL
 
I used to talk to Hannibal all the time. Now if I do it it's a sentence fragment if I'm trying to remember something, just rememberd something, etc.
 
i use to talk to myself, whole conversations. not out loud. i still do some times but not as much. i meditate(yep, cross-legged with hands on knees and everything:))

anyways its like a mental detox, when/if you get to that point where you don't think, don't feel, you just are. flushes all kinds of useless thoughts cluttering you mind, feels great after(calm, kinda like a weight you didn't realize you had that was weighing you down has been lifted). an empty mind is an awesome thing to experience.
 
when I'm really busy at work and trying to organize things to do, I repeat out loud important things to take care of.

Doesn't help either that I have ADHD and missing 1/3 of my brain

"must got to wanduke and 15th for those killer red tops"
repeat*100
:)
 
I get annoyed when people talk to themselves in my presence. I always say "who are you talking to?" when i know damn well they're talking to themselves.
 
I recall really when I started. Remembering my girls playing I think it may have started like that and eventually (believe it or not) I started talking out loud to drown out my mother's voice in my head saying really hurtfull things. Then it just became habit of reminding myself what I was doing, like Ortiz. My brain is ALWAYS going a mile a minute, saying things out loud helps to slow the process and help keep me focused on the task at hand.

:whatever:

I accepted a long time ago that I am nuts so I don't feel the need to apologize for it anymore. :)

what i've been screaming for yrs
teehee

Yes... must admit I do sometimes

When I'm alone at home I rarely do it... I feel weird... I rather prance around naked.... removes that awkward lonely feeling :lmao: makes me giggle wondering if neighbors or anyone passing by can see me :lmao: I'm weird :(

Wait a minute. You mean there are people that don't talk to themselves while walking around the house naked?
 
I talk to myself. I talk to the gods and goddesses. I talk to my cats. I talk to the t.v. I talk to household appliances. I talk to the food in the refrigerator, etc., etc., etc.

I work from home. I'm alone more than 10 hours a day and I'm vaguely antisocial. There'd be something wrong with me if I didn't talk to myself.

It becomes a problem when the habit becomes so ingrained that you talk to yourself when other people are around. That's bad, m'kay?
 
No. Unless I need to communicate with another person, I really don't see a logical reason for taking my dialogue with myself outside of my head.

People that talk to themselves excessively usually come across as somewhat mentally retarded to listening standers-by, HTH.



:cow:
 
I say a lot of things out loud that I thought I hadn't vocalized. Gets me into trouble at times. Makes people stare out you funny when you've been sitting perfectly silent for a long time then just blurt out "That's fucking great" or some such. I also talk a lot to inanimate objects, especially cars.

Cheers,
Scotsman

lol agreed
 
I do it all the time at work under my breath. Every once in a while I will pound on my desk too.
I just want to make sure everyone at work knows that at some point I might kill them.
 
Not only do I talk to myself outloud sometimes, I do it without really intending to (usually when I'm tired or stressed.) I really don't realize I'm doing it until after I speak out loud. I made the mistake of pointing it out to my wife once and now she busts me if I do it in her presence.

LOL..That was so funny!

I talk to myself and the universe...often.
Outloud?....sometimes, I must admit.
 
I'm always complaining and cursing out loud (what the fuck, god why did this go wrong, dammit, etc.)

I also have imagined conversations with people, saying the things that I'd like to say, or would have said.

Then there's your basic thinking out loud shit.

lol i do this too
 
oh I pre-think convo's I possibly might have with people all the time, specifically with girls... it's so fluent now, I constantly go over in my head things i'll say due to a response or action. Social preparing myself, being smooth on the fly with my previous job really was a bonus, so it became a routine before and now it's just natural. Has really helped me alot in everyday life.

For example right now i'm probably making faces like i'm talking to you (the eyebrows, squinting, tighten lips, etc) but i'm just typing, I don't even notice it.

The best is when I am having an internal monologue while I am talking to someone then randomly blurt out what's going through my head. Causes a great deal of confusion. I'm surprised I didn't do this while talking to you the other day, I'm really bad about doing it while on the phone.

How else are you supposed to have an intelligent conversation with someone who actually cares what you have to say?



Nope, that didn't work either, I even bore myself.
