We all know that Trump often, or even most of the time, refers to himself in the third person. Do you know anyone personally that does it? I don’t. It just seems weird.
SuntanLotion used to.
I often hear pickleball players chastise themselves in the third person when they miss a shot. I prefer a concise, first person “Fuck me!”..
When I play a D&D or other RP character I sometimes do.
But in show business it is considered fairly normal-
Quite a few “normal” people did it- see list=
I do when I audibly or sub-audibly talk to myself with nobody around. Like if I’m giving myself a pep talk or chastising myself.
I used to work with a woman who did this.
“Hey Jamie, are you working this weekend?”
“Oh no, Jamie don’t do weekends.”
mmm
I used to play for the Thirds (sometimes Seconds) of a cricket team in the Dallas area. One of the other teams in the league had a recently retired West Indies test (highest level of cricket) player on their team, called Carlisle Best. This was in 1994/95. He would have been in his mid 30s at the time, so he was much, much better than most of even the Firsts. Cricket was a VERY fringe sport in the USA at the time.
He would continually refer to himself in the third person and provide a running commentary on his performance. He called himself “Bestie”. Example: “Bestie is coming out to bat, swinging his arms to loosen up. Bestie’s gonna get into the bowling today for sure. He’s gonna do some damage.” And on and on, for hours on end.
This being before wall to wall coverage in the media of everything, I had no idea that he was apparently famous for this during his international career as well. I only found out after the internet became huge.
burpo doesn’t understand the question, does he?
George would never do anything like that. Why would George steal from the Yankees? Well I think it’s about time for George’s lunch
Back before I retired, myself and two others sat near a co worker who was easily annoyed by our conversations. The three of us started referring to ourselves in third person just to annoy her. We did it for a few years.
We’ve retired years ago and to this day still do it on occasion just for fun. Sam wants to know if John wants to meet for lunch tomorrow?
Didn’t Ted Bundy do this, in at least one interview?
Yeah, its because in his mind saying a third person did it meant he wasn’t legally responsible for what he said. It worked for OJ.
Willie hears ya. Willie don’t care.
Whereas Wolfpup is annoyed by this use of “myself”. Could you not have just said “I and two others …”. In fact, there’s actually a credible grammatical justification for saying “me and two others …”. It’s a bit of a stretch, but Pinker argues that there’s no grammar rule mandating that the grammatical case of a pronoun within a noun phrase has to match that of the phrase itself. But “myself” is the kind of emphatic pronoun that one associates with something like a CEO memo to all staff, and nowhere else, except for emphasis, as in “I didn’t believe it myself”.
But in any event, there is currently abundant evidence – at least from “Truth Social” – that someone who habitually refers to himself in the third person is a demented narcissist. The same sort of narcissist who is constantly regaling us with tales of big men who come to him with tears in their eyes to thank him for his greatness and wisdom.
Jimmy’s down!!
I do this as well, but in the second person.
As in “You can do this”, or “You’re just about the dumbest asshole in the world.”
Yes, a friend of mine does this sometimes. It’s kind of funny sometimes, but sometimes it’s just annoying. I don’t think I’ve ever talked like that before, it just sounds strange.
Gary thinks you put a lot of effort into your reply. 
Whoops, I mixed up second person and third person.
I also talk to myself in the second person.
Referring to oneself in the third person is weird. 
Not exclusively, but probably often enough that people would notice it. I talk about myself all the ways:
“Holy shit, I’m a dumb ass!”
“Holy shit, you’re a dumb ass!”
“Holy shit, stretch is a dumb ass!”
And of course, I predict how future stretch will react to situations and wonder what past stretch was thinking all the time. I’m pretty annoying in real life.
