Talking to yourself for dummies.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I love talking to myself but over the years and through immense trial and error I can honestly say it is not as simple as one my deem it to be.

To get to a stage where you can talk in such ways as interrupting your own conversations (butting in) between three or more of yourselves and the ability to talk over top of yourself to be heard by yourself is possible by following 5 simple beginner steps…

  1. start slow, treat the learner conversation as you would learn a different language; stick to simple phrases like Good Morning; How are you; My name is? What is my Name? et cetera.

  2. set an atmosphere of boredom, find nothing to do, not necessarily be lonely (as it is quite possible to talk to yourself with others in the room) but just adopt an attitude of laziness and shiftlessness.

  3. repetitiously utilize outside situations that include others inanity and uselessness in your surroundings like a resounding board… as if you are talking about them behind there back. For example, a nagging wife, a snoring grandpa. This helps to refine the skill and clarify the skill in your brain.

  4. slowing introduce things such as debates, arguments, sentiments and profundity. Practice one at a time for a few days before moving on.

  5. don’t be ashamed that you are talking to yourself. People will tell you its a sign of madness but don’t listen to them. Tell yourself that they are the ones who are mad and then reassure yourself with some good things about yourself by yourself. Believe me, believing in yourself about your abilities to talk to yourself will pay off!

Hope that helps you. Who? Me? No not me, you. Oh…

You’re not talking to yourself if the other voices are “real.” :wink:

It’s ok to talk to yourself, and fine to talk to yourself and respond.

But you might need to worry if you talk to yourself, and then say “What did you say?”
