Talking to yourself: Is it normal?

I think it's normal as long as you still think you are not losing your ownself. By thinking, we can also talk to ourselves but in just mind thinking. unlike you, you want to talk more for you to be able to remember all the details or informations you have to keep in mind, is it? if it is, i think it's still normal to do so. but i hope you can also talk to others for you to be able to remember all stuffs and for you not to talk only to your ownself.

I do!. It is normal. I even did it at school, when take an exam :D. And the teacher remind me not to make such noise. Helping me out of stress, and make me faster at thinking.

I think that most of people will talk to themselves at some point during the course of their lives, however a lot of people will just talk to themselves in their head and never actually vocalise any of the thoughts that are going on inside their mind. I don't think that there is anything weird about talking to yourself as long as you understand what you're doing and you're not talking to somebody who you believe to be there but aren't there. If that makes any sense at all. We should talk to ourselves as it helps for us to think about what we're doing, why we're doing it, and how we can make ourselves better the next time.

I talk to myself too! A LOT! Like you, it also helps me relieve stress and come up with good ideas. But yeah I don't think we should do that in public otherwise people would think we are crazy I usually talk to myself when I'm rehearsing a speech or something. Not really a formal one but just like when I imagine myself talking to a neighbor or a friend. I know, I'm a freak, LOL!

I also do this most of the time. Like for example I am studying my lessons. I talk to myself and said, I can do this!! Intrapersonal communication is good. It could help you motivate yourself. It could even boost your self esteem. That's why I am not against with it. The only thing that is not normal for me is when you are talking alone with your imaginary friends. Oh that's crazy for sure. hahaha..

I think it is normal action, I also do that everyday. sometime when i dont have any thing to do,intrapersonal coomunication can give me more idea to do something. sometime it is useful, but it also have some disadvantage. if you too much do this, it will mae you carelees with all of thing around you. so just do this for right thing.

I talk to myself when I have something I need to memorize.

Yes, it's normal and it's healthy,too. I mean it's healthy when what you input into your brain when having this self-talk are positive thoughts.

I think that it is perfectly normal to talk to ourselves. i have been doing it for years. i would hate to think that i was not normal now just because of a few words spoken aloud.

Hi, I do think it's normal for us talking to ourselves. I used to do that when studying at college. Sometimes I need to listen to my own voice, and of course I'll only do it alone, not having anyone around me.

Like everybody else, i do talk to myself too and I remembered I started doing this when I was a kid. Whenever I don't have playmates with me, I played and talked to myself, I also talked to my dolls that time

I don't find it abnormal, I see it more as thinking out loud. A good way to organize your thoughts and plans and keep your attention to it.

Totally! I call it "talking in general" not talking to myself. I think when someone does it too much or has heated arguments with imaginary folks around them, that is perhaps a little bit different because they actually believe that they are talking to people that aren't there. Then again, who are we to say that they don't see something we don't? However, that is the difference between what people call "crazy" and good old normal talking in general.

I usually only talk to myself when I get mad or stub my toe or something (lots of swearing usually exits my mouth). I think it's a pretty normal way to get some feelings out.

I talk to myself all the time when i am by myself. I have for years. It is like a have a split personality! I wouldn't do it around people. I believe it is normal to talk to yourself like you do. With me I am not quite sure! Could have a bad habit or I really have a split personality! What ever the reason I am not going to change it. it is part of who I am!

i just remember during school days, whenever we study our lessons at home, we usually read our notebook by voicing out words from our mouth, it is just like that and i think its normal....

I also do talk to myself but ofcourse, not like walking along the street talking. I think you can only classify it abnormal if it is out of control. Like you talk loud and have no limit.
