Do you talk to yourself ?

[FleuraBelle]

Only when I'm alone. But yea, I talk to myself.
I do it to keep myself entertained or to ask myself questions. Sometimes I think better when I talk to myself. :/
Its kinda nice though because it someone I can talk to without worrying about judgement or not

 

[Mints]

yes. and sometimes i pretend i own a cooking show.

All the time! At work it supports language development, cognitive functioning, and social and emotional development with the babies and children in my care as I verbalise what I'm doing, what I'll do next, reminders for myself etc etc. Not that I'm talking non-stop, that would not be helpful, but it helps soothe unsettled children like nothing else does to hear a "patter of chatter" as I like to call it. Describing what children are doing (instead of yourself) is known as "sports-casting" though there's a lot more to it than merely imitating sports commentators!

At home or out in my personal time I do, too. When choosing fresh fruit and veggjes I'll mutter to myself about the quality and condition of the different pieces, and what else I'm there to buy. I don't do it every single time I shop, but when I do (to help me concentrate) it's all good.

One thing I do NOT talk to myself during is playing games, whether playing alone or with my partner or friends. I just don't like a running commentary there. My partner does, and I find it quite irritating at times to tune the patter out but still catch anything important he says.. ah well.

Yep ... But you know what they say ... "Talking to yourself is OK, but answering back is risky" ...

 

[Miii]

Sometimes when I'm really trying to focus on something, but I'm having trouble paying attention.

 

[Daydream]

Who doesn't?

 

[Katattacc]

all the time lol

 

[strawberrigod]

Yeah, especially while I'm shopping. Also sometimes thinking in my head doesn't help me make sense of things, so I'll say it to myself or write it down. I think it's very effective ^.^

 

[Oldcatlady]

Definitely not out loud. But sometimes I'd mentally be like "ohhh that actor looks so hot" and squee.
dunno if that's considered talking to myself or not.

 

[PrincessApple]

I talk to myself alot when I'm pissed off, like I'm the type of person who doesn't like raging about things to other people and keep things to myself so I just quickly whisper rude things under my breath and hope no one ever hears me xD

 

[Chicha]

Definitely a lot but most especially when driving. I feel like I need to express my thoughts when driving and it helps get them out of my system. I'll ramble whenever someone cuts me off or someone does something dumb to endanger other drivers, that sort of thing. I get it from my mom who does the same thing.

 

[HungryForCereal]

oh ya i talk to myself a lot when im home alone. of course im not having a conversation with myself but just saying my thoughts a lot.

 

[KaydeeKrunk]

Yeah but usually only at home, usually it's not necessarily "to myself" it's more just out loud thoughts. Like if there is a funny commercial I might be like "Wow that is just ridiculous." or something like that, or if I am getting frustrated with inanimate objects I might talk "to them" like "start working you piece of poop!" or something like that. I also talk to myself when thinking things out like "If I do this first THEN do this, then the other thing will work better." etc. for some reason saying it out loud helps me solidify it or something. But yeah I only ever really do it when I'm alone. I mean the tv thing or "observations" I'll do when people are around too because I just always do it.

 

[LinkToTheWorld]

I do it quite a lot actually. I was once told that talking to yourself is a sign of a personality disorder, which I thought absolutely bizarre....
Anyway, if I didn't talk to myself I wouldn't get much conversation at all I'm quite an introvert and prefer my own company

 

[Cosmic Moonlight]

In my head and mental breakdowns

Always fun

 

[CometCatcher]

I have a lot of conversations with myself...it kind of helps to calm myself down, in a weird way. Outwardly, I appear to be quite impulsive and sporadic, but, inwardly, I'm very rational. When I talk to myself, I'm talking to the more...rational and critical part of me. It's more like talking to my conscience. Sometimes I talk to myself when I'm angry, but most of the time, I do it when I need comforting. Befriending oneself isn't a bad thing. ^-^ Though perhaps if I were to explain this to anyone else they'd just get creeped out, HAHA!

 

[Akira-chan]

yeah, out loud too. dont really care tho, since im the only person anyone will really talk too :^)

 

[piske]

Yeah, I say my thoughts aloud all of the time! Especially when I'm working through something. I also sing to myself a lot too lol

 

[Pecansalad]

I only talk to myself in my head. Having conversations with yourself out loud seems weird..

 

[Draco]

I only talk to myself in my head. Having conversations with yourself out loud seems weird..

But is it really Weird to talk out loud to your self(wondering) or is it the social un normal that we allow our self to be type casted to
and as result hinder our free tought . or perhaps it is better to keep i bit quite.
