Do you talk to yourself?

I am highly suspicious of people who claim they don’t. :dubious:

Of course I do. Mostly not out loud, though, as I was an only child and therefore pretty quiet. But internally - a constant conversation.

I talk to myself. Sometimes I give myself advice out loud. I review things I’m going to write out loud. Sometimes I sing songs and conversations to myself. I try really hard not to do it in public. Sometimes I’ve considered wearing headphones most of the time I’m in public, just so I can get away with it. Some days the strain of appearing a “normal” person who does not talk to herself really gets to me.

Doesn’t it, dear?

Yes, I do.

It’s not the talking to myself that bothers me.

It’s the fact that I keep losing the arguments.

:smack: :smiley:

I talk to myself…sort of.

Rarely do I actually talk to myself, but rather to other people who aren’t there. Real people, people I know, and I say things that I might (but never actually do) say to them.

I usually don’t do it in public, but when I do, I scold myself.

Yes, I do. And I really wish that I didn’t because I always give my mom hell for talking to herself. Family ties run deep for us, I guess.

I talk to myself in stores a lot, especially when looking at food. “Now what do I want?” and “Dang, that’s expensive!” are phrases that I often find myself muttering. I feel like a retard especially if someone else is around.

I catch myself humming songs under my breath all the time too. I usually try to stop doing it but most of the time I don’t realize I’m doing it. There was this really weird girl that I used to go to school with that would always hum under her breath and I’m scared that if other people heard me humming that they would think I was weird as well.

I talk to the cat, talk to the dog, talk to the fish. I’m all sorts of weird.

All the time! I talk to myself, the computer or whatever I’m working on, the cats. Actually reading this thread has reminded me how much I miss one of my cats. I had such a rapport with her that she always** looked ** as though she knew just what I’d said and she agreed with me – *looking out of the window first thing *, “Ugh, don’t like the look of that rain.” *Watching a soap character making a typically foolish error of judgement *, “She’ll be sorry she trusted him!” .

The weirdest work related one was as an archaeologist excavating a Roman graveyard, talking to the skeletons. Didn’t like to think to closely about that.

Who are you and why have you stolen my personality! :smiley:

If I am not you then I am the weird girl you went to school with. Humming in the supermarket is stupid and embarassing yet I do it anyway. :(.

I catch myself speaking to myself in public (quietly!) far too often. I’m a smooth mover though…I just pretend I was singing/humming, much cooler :D.

I am completely bonkers it seems. The abuse of smilies shows this.
