Constantly. It helps me with memory and problem solving. Other than someone at work who feels the need to point it out
whenever he notices (he does it too so I don't think it's malicious), it's not an issue.
I do have vocal stims/tics though that thankfully mostly only come out when I'm alone. Most are just weird but one is impolite. And despite having been aware that I do this for 15+ years this is the first time I'm admitting to it.
Yes I do sometimes without noticing, I also do little dances without noticing either. Sometimes I start dancing in the grocery alley talking to myself until my family ask me to stop embarrassing them.
This is weird to admit, but ever since the pandemic started I’ve started having one sided conversations with myself about anything. I’m hoping I can learn to quit it since when I live with a partner or with a roommate they’d probably find it very weird.
All the time! And I am prone to mumbling in general. My boyfriend has started to call me out on it (because it turns out he’s actually listening haha). He’ll say, oh, was that something you were trying to tell me, or were you talking to Oswin? So then that helps me clarify “Oh, I was talking to myself!” I used to tell people that a lot even before he started pointing it out, but I don’t know that other people were as specific in pointing it out before, in using my name. Because now that he does that, I think of it more like “oh, Oswin had something to say TO Oswin!” And somehow that makes me see it differently/more importantly? Because as someone else mentioned, sometimes it is really helpful to have that conversation out loud to organize my thoughts or solidify something.
yes, I talk to myself a lot! Usually when I’m trying to explain something to myself in my head I’ll talk out loud as I find it helps me figure it out, or if I want to complain about something.. I’ll also pace up and down while talking to myself
Yes. I try not to though.
Living alone makes you talk to yourself more, from my experience. I also scream a lot too or. um. yell? It's mainly to get the stress out of my system though
I think I talk a bit to myself, because the stuff I would love to say, welp I am not normally around other people with the same hobbies, enjoyment, so there are times I kinda talk as if Iam doing a video for people to watch. Really weird I know.
But it does help to say a sentence outloud to oneself to see if it workswell, which is what I also do.
on occasion i do, but it's very rare. i more tend to just have a constant inner monologue running to keep me going. i'll talk to my cat sometimes though in probably a similar way a lot of people talk to themselves
Mainly under my breath. I used to talk to myself way more as a kid but got made fun of for it. I still don’t understand the problem when I was just on the school bus talking to myself while others talked amongst each other. It’s not like I was disturbing the peace or anything.
But sometimes I also occasionally talk out loud at home like I’m making a video.
I do in my head constantly, but not usually out loud
I will out loud if I'm trying to remember something, or make sure something sounds right when I'm writing, though LOL
I do talk to myself which is kind of funny at times because there will be times when people are thinking that I am talking to them and I have to let them know that I'm talking to myself instead of them. I mostly do it when I need to remember something, or if I need to psyche myself up to do something because I'm nervous about it.
