do you talk to yourself?

[Chris]

Occasionally. I find it helps with organisation and recall.

 

[dizzy bone]

I always talk out loud to myself in khmer to practice ever since I started learning it properly 3 months ago. I often rehearse sentences or questions/conversations I want to use throughout the day.

 

[Alyx]

I talk to myself constantly. I'm always having hypothetical conversations with myself as another person. It's not audible, but sometimes an audible word will slip out.

 

[Bluebellie]

Yeah. I talk to myself inside my head, but sometimes I notice myself talking out loud without realizing. Just sort of like thinking out loud. Mostly when no one is around. I also talk to my dog, but I feel like that is normal

 

[Mr_Persona]

No not in that way. I do kind of like mutter or responding to whatever happened which doesn't count i guess. But one question does playing with toys count when I do the voices? My sisters keep thinking it's weird and they always say "stop talking to yourself!"

 

[k e r f u f f l e]

Absolutely. A bit too much, to be fair.

I'll talk to myself when I'm solving problems, trying to calm down, envisioning myself in a situation I plan on executing, or just for fun. I look crazy.

 

[Snek]

Every single day...when I'm alone. When I'm around other people I never do my soliloquies. I tend to think out loud when there is no one around and sometimes I practice lines for my characters in the book I'm writing so they come across as natural. Sometimes people catch me talking but I pay them no mind. Most of the time I don't even know them. I also curse out loud when I'm playing certain video games.

i talk to myself practically 24/7 lol. i usually whisper to myself tho, i don't talk loud enough for others to hear me

 

[amemome]

i do occasionally! very quietly and usually to count or do basic math/subtraction. i have a really loud head voice (aka the talking to yourself in your brain voice) so i tend to not really vocalize unless i need to.

 

[Mars Adept]

I wish I could because it would probably really help with my jumbled up thoughts and confidence, but I fear my relatives would make fun of me.

 

[BluebearL]

Yeah I do and it’s a perfectly healthy thing to do. Sometimes it’s just anxious thoughts, sometimes when I’m sorting through a problem or debating possible arguments with myself I’ll have a bit of a dialogue/monologue. Other times I’ll just make random comments/comedic observations to myself. I was honestly mortified just the other day, I was walking to my seminar and I realised that I was saying my thoughts out loud (muttering). Never really done that before, I guess I was too lost in my own thoughts to notice. Oops.

 

[Selky]

Sometimes, especially if stressed...I usually recite back some affirmations etc.

 

[windloft]

sometimes. i generally talk to myself on what i need to do, or for re-affirmation. funnily enough, it's something i got from my father who does the exact same thing.

 

[azurill]

I talk to myself all the time mostly when I’m alone. Usually it’s when I’m working through a problem or figuring out things at work. At home I always talk to my dog.
