Do you talk with yourself?

I talk to myself mostly to help me calm down. It also helps when I try to avoid arguments if I try to say out what's on my mind. Some people think I'm crazy, but even when I shop I talk to myself and say out loud what I think the pros and cons of a certain product.

I also do talk to myself, specially when I'm really stressed out in making a report. I would talk to myself about what should I put in there, what are the risks, recommedations, and the likes. i find it more helpful rather than just thinking about it.. Though I don't talk loud, i just whisper things ( does it make it more creepier? hmmmm.. lol. ).. anyway, I think my the people seated near me already knows that I really do this, and that it shouldn't be any bother to them. hehehe.

I talk to myself all the time. Its a great way of figuring things out,as long as you don't answer yourself. I also like to sing ! I don't care who thinks what. I am fine

hahaha. I do talk to myself. I live alone and I do things on my own, so I have the habit to talk to myself at home. At work, if I prepare a presentation or present my ideas to people, I practice at home and phrase myself...and sometimes, I screw up I also tell myself. I self criticise. It's better than coming from other people. hehehe...I don't think it's weird. It's natural.

Yes, I do. I'm faced with a hard choice right now and it feels better to talk about it. It would be nice to talk to someone else about it, but I don't have anyone else to talk to about it. Anyway hope this helps.

Thank you for this i thought i was going mad! ive been getting worse as ive got older, i got caught the other day walking round a corner into a few people whilst having a full conversation with myself - very embarrassing - now though looking at all these posts im not so sure im so mad! Cool

I don't talk to myself aloud, but once in a while I do it in mind. As far as your habit is concerned, I think what you are talking about seems similar to what they call a pep-talk or giving affirmations. I remember hearing from a spiritual guru that affirmations are actually momentary quick-fixes but won't do good in the long-term. He added that when you give affirmations to yourself what you are doing is suppress the negative thoughts and not shun them away, only to have them surface sometime later on. To alleviate the negative thoughts emotions, breathing exercises are a better bet in my opinion. Maybe you could try subjecting yourself to stuffs like yoga, pranayama, meditation etc.

I talk with myself most of the times when I get piss over things, person or if my plans fail and even during the feeling of joy and sadness. Thus, I find myself talking even in front of the mirror when I am practicing my facial expression when practicing during my upcoming interview in that way I could see the manner I talk, my eyes and lips or the proper gestures. Thus, i could judge by myself if I am doing well or not. But, most of the times I talk only in short words not really in long sentences as when someone heard me they would think O am crazy. So far i only done it moderately.

Same here, I talk to myself sometimes when I am looking for something, angry if I did not find what I am looking for. But I assured that no one will hear or see me talking alone because they may think that I am crazy.

Not only you i myself do it.I talk to myself at nights when i am alone and scared.Now i am perfect, can control it.Only thing you have to do is to have self believe.In your situation it is same.Just have self confidence.

I used to but I realized that it may not be good if I continue doing that hehehe. I tried getting rid of that habit but I still do it sometimes especially when I am anxious or worried of certain things. It really helps me calm down and helps me think of probable move or tasks to do. :D

sometimes when i'm bored or when i get mad with someone like golem in lotr! lol

This is a way to ease the pressure i support you

I talk to myself when I am trying to figure things out...so am I crazy or genius?...who knows. Just glad I am not the only one.

Yes, I do this regularly.. to test my self about my body language and presentation skills. I feel its very important to improve the confidence and really enjoy this kind of activity every time while I do in front of my mirror. I suggest all those having stage fear must do this kind of activity to over come various feeling and its really good habit.

I talk to myself all the time, it helps me work through problems when something hits the fan at work or anything else that I have problems with. I have done this ever since middle school, and I don't think I'll ever stop from doing it.

dude ,I have the smae experience with you .sometimes ,I 'll talk with myslef ,so when my mum see this ,she 'll ask me " waht are you doing ? who are you talking to ? I answer " me ," she feeling strange ,and she told you " you are strange ," He hehe .I don't know why .sometimes .I 'll do this .my friend told me ,because you are talktive ,so nobody talk to you ,you only talk to yourslef

sometimes i do. when i am all alone and problematic, i talk to myself. i cannot find anyone to talk to so i just tell myself my own problem, hahahah. "why did you do this? why not this one? what's the matter with you? are you ok? " stuff like that. then i feel my burdens unloaded. hahahaha

Ever since I was a child I have talked out loud to myself. I used to say it was because I was the only one listening to me. Now it is just a habit I can't break. I think it begins with thinking out loud and it just becomes a conversation between me, mysel and I. I believe there are a lot of people who talk outloud to themselves. I don't think there is anything weird about it. If there is, then i guess i am.

yes,same as you when I am scared or nervous,I think that is the good way to relax yourself!
