Do you talk to yourself?

[Tylerhelt14]

Yes I do. I have ADHD. I talk to my imaginary friends when I talk to myself. I talk to the BTS members plus Bluey,Bingo,Muffin,Socks Heeler from Bluey

Yes. I've ADHD and I'm usually thinking about umpteen things at once. Speaking aloud helps me isolate a train of thought and focus, separating it from all the other noise in my head.

I have ADHD and I talk to myself too

i do when it comes to having to make a decision about something (ex. "okay, do i need x or y?"), but that's about it.

How haven't I replied to this thread yet, lmao?!

I do talk to myself. It happens more often when I'm alone, so I prefer to be around others. It feels less lonely otherwise.

I'm apt to mumbling sarcastic remarks when I'm playing a video game and things are going wrong.

Especially when it gives me an A.I that is supposed to 'help' me and they make me fail whatever I'm doing.

Almost always in single player games

A lot, always when I'm alone of course but as embarrassing as it is to admit I just sometimes have full blown one sided conversations with myself or act like I'm speaking to people that don't exist.

I talk to myself all the time. It’s helpful to sort through my thoughts. It’s also helpful when figuring out a problem.

I also talk to myself a lot. Sometimes I need an expert opinion. I'm pretty much always rambling to myself in my head and I like to talk to myself while playing video games and sometimes while driving or just around the house. I'll make snarky comments about game characters or irl people doing dumb things on the road or I'll talk myself through a to do list like "Ok, I'll do this, then this so I can do that." Very rarely I'll catch myself saying something I probably shouldn't at work so I try to keep it to myself there.

I do it at random. Sometimes my dad catches me and I feel embarrassed. But I'm sure I'll be comfortable with it as I get older, since it's hard for me to control. ^^;

I was talking to myself while watching MMA last night. I was getting frustrated for my favorites losing and cheering for my favorites winning.

I didn't even fully realize what I was doing until after it was over. At 3:00 in the morning.

I just got really into it.

 

[kakapo]

Yeah usually when I'm in a really good mood or frustrated like when I try to catch fish in city folk...

If there’s nothing playing in my headphones and I’m not with someone/in public chances are I will be speaking to myself.
I do it everyday and actually get unhappy if I cannot do it.
I need to talk about what’s currently happening if there’s a big thing coming to prepare myself, or vent about a situation, or rejoice about another!
I also love interviewing myself, which is kinda cringe but no one can hear me so who cares.

Also I’m french and I’ve always been sorta good with english and for the past 10 years or so I’d say I’ve been speaking to myself exclusively in English and it tremendously helped with erasing my French accent and developing a nice American one.

I tend to talk to myself when I'm alone. I also have a habit of getting lost in thought, that I'd unconsciously talk to myself in public.

 

[skarmoury]

Yea lol whoops. only when im alone though. i mostly talk to myself when playing games or studying bc it helps me process what im looking at or reading. at first i thought it was an only-child thing since i didnt have siblings to grow up with, so im happy it's not just me!

 

[Vhoop]

Talking to myself clears my thoughts and just makes it easier to think honestly, I used to think it was weird but I've gotten comfortable with it even in public and tend to do it all the time when I'm thinking about whatever

 

[Aquilla]

Nope, I never talk to myself. Not when I'm alone, nor when others are around me. I talk to myself in my head, if that makes sense
