... and if so, why? I often catch myself having a full blown conversation with myself. I guess it's because sometimes I'm not around people who I can express my thoughts to, so the next best person is, well, me. Of course, these self conversations never have much meaning or thought to them. It's mostly me just rambling to myself about dumb stuff, like "do dogs know they are called dogs?" or something like that. So what about you?
Ye I do. I do it because I’m the only person I’m my household family who loves video games, and I mostly see my friends on schooldays. I do it so I have “someone” to talk about video games with
Like, always. Perhaps it’s easier for me to think about things when I talk out loud? I’ve even been doing it in English for some time now (French is my native language so I just went with that). A weird thing that I often do is talking like if there was some kind of audience or other person to listen to me while them still being only me. I have no clue of why, nor of when I started talking to myself so much.
I don't really talk to myself, but at work I sing out loud if I have a song in my head because I don't come into contact with other people often.
Oh yeah, I'm my best friend lol. I rarely talk to myself out loud though, and like Junkrat it's usually about dumb things that nobody else would want to listen to. Either that or I'm giving myself a pep talk.
Not full on conversations usually, but I often find myself repeating what I just said to someone under my breath. Mostly a nervous habit of "Did what I just say sound weird?"
I almost always talk to myself, especially in crowded areas and if I'm completely alone in the house. (If I know that no one is able to listen to what I'm saying, lol)
Out loud, no. Well, apart from the occasional mumble under my breath. I often talk to myself in my head through sometimes, but it's usually only a brief conversation.
I feel like the only person in this thread thus far to say no, the only reason is that I have a sister at my side almost all the time to spew my useless thoughts to. Even when I'm alone, I never really talk to myself because it feels really awkward talking to nobody >.>
I don't really?? At least not full blown conversations with myself because thats a bit weird. The only times I might do something like talk to myself is either for trying to think of a voice for a character I made (its kinda fun to talk like a character, id do it alone though to not look weird) or to work on learning other languages because that's fun.
I used to talk to myself a lot, usually to play out events for stories by taking on the roles of all of my characters. Then one day my dad saw me doing it and gave me a weird look so I started feeling self conscious about it. I still do it, but not out loud anymore.
I rarely talk out loud to myself - the only thing that can get me to do that, as far as I can think of, is being marooned in the outfield during a baseball game that the rest of my team is ruining. Even that's really talking to them still - "oh, no, don't do that" - they just happen to be nowhere near me. In my head I talk to myself all the time though. I don't think that's a bad thing. Sounds more like a form of self-awareness. My conversations are either reprimanding myself for being unrealistic about things - or, er, basically reprimanding myself in general, really. Sometimes I'll start talking to myself about random stuff too, though.
I talk to myself and have full blown conversations multiple times on a daily basis. It's how I vent and work out my problems. Most people find it wierd but I honestly don't care. I have shifted some of it to in my head but a lot of it is out loud. It just makes my day go on better.
Except when something has my full blown attention, I always have a conversation running in the back of my head. Weather it be discussing a problem or trying understand how things work, I'm always talking in my head. When no one is around, (and I'm sure no one will be coming), I will sometimes run that conversation out loud. On occasion, I will speak to myself as if I'm a separate entity, but I only do that when I'm home and I'm rarely home.
I'm gonna say no. I can't recall ever talking to myself? I'm sure I have in the past, but I have a roommate who I can babble to.
Not intentionally a lot of the time, people don't hear me or don't know I'm actually talking to them and by the time they do notice it I just say forget it and resume doing whatever I was doing. I will occasionally talk to myself when it's particularly quiet and everybody in the house is asleep or when people don't answer me I'll answer myself just to get an answer since they aren't providing one
I do that always. Since I often forget something, I repeat it to me the whole day to not forget it. But I always forget it anyways. And I also do talk to myself when I'm bored, or have to decide something. But that's not often: Only once a week, I think.
