Do you talk to yourself?

I don't think I talk out loud, but often catch myself mouthing out conversations I plan to have.
 
Totally! Use to talk to myself a lot when I was working before especially, but I talk to myself now to help with motivation.
 
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
 
Oh yes, all the time. Sometimes I'm very unaware when I do so I do it in public often. I'm usually talking about ideas for stories, or other things.

I tend to talk the most when I'm alone at home, I talk, mutter alot, and tend to keep going on and on.

I also apparently, according to my friends and family, I talk in my sleep, and it's usually story related.
 
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.
 
Doesn't everyone? Like what else are you supposed to do when you've nothing—or too much—going on?
 
Not as much as when I was a kid, probably. I got made fun of for it in elementary school, even though I was on the bus and other people were talking to other people. After that I barely ever do it in public.
 
I mutter to myself sometimes but I don't have full conversations with myself. It's usually words of frustration or something along those lines. Or if I'm like reminding myself to do something.
 
I talk to myself in my head a lot but I don't usually speak out loud to myself. I'm way too self-conscious to risk someone else overhearing me.
 
Yeah, more often than I’d like to admit. Most of the time, it’s just me repeating stupid things I heard earlier, phrasing them in the same tone of voice. Other times, I’ll randomly mimic a fake conversation where I play both sides. When it comes to the internet, I’ll even read random posts, comments and reviews out loud.

In short, yes, I talk to myself way too often.
 
Yes but I didn't know before someone told me. It helps me not to forget things and stay focus. It's not something I really control or is aware of, I also sing and do little dances out of nowhere in public without noticing and embarrass my family.
 
I do tend to talk to myself a lot because sometimes I need to remind myself of what I need to do or what I am doing for the rest of the day and sometimes I just want to vent to no one but myself so I can get it out of my system. I try not to do it around others because then they ask if I am speaking to them.
 
I do in order to stay focused on my tasks, and the order I must follow them. Saying each step out loud and commenting on the progress I'm doing helps to not get distracted.
 
i talk to myself alllll the time, lmao. not out loud unless i'm alone, but i have a fairly constant inner monologue going at any given time.
