Hearing People Talk to Them Self Out Loud

I used to talk to my cats all the time. They are all gone now, so I just talk to myself. If I hear someone at the store talking, and it's not to me, I just figure they have a phone that is hands-off.

Well I have caught my dad whispering to himself before. I'm guilty of talking to myself though and I have gotten caught quite a few times. Usually someone in another room is like "who are you talking to?"

Only when I am angry. Otherwise I don't talke to myself. I have heard others do it and sometimes I think they are talking to me and I ask them what they said and it's kind of embarassing when they explain that they were just talking to themselves!

SOmetimes I walk on the greenbelt and there are homeless people congregating there sometimes. They tend to wonder around and talk to themselves. I think they have psychiatric problems. It is rather sad. I will talk to myself when I think I am alone sometimes. Or talk to the cat as if I think it will understand me.

i am very bad to talk to myself as im alone alot hubby works second shift and im also use to taking oto the dog, but now that everyone has cell phones i see alot of people that look like there talking to themsleves and then i realize there on there phone, and i see the speaker in there ear.. at first it was odd to me as they were carryong on a conversation, but now i just assume there on phone...

I sometimes talk to myself. I don't consider myself crazy, it just helps me relieve... and I'm aware that I'm talking to myself, lol :). So it wouldn't be that weird for me, only if they say something reaaallllly weird.

Yes, I always encounter those kinds of people. I actually don't get why they talk to themselves loudly, why don't they just think what they're thinking and not talk it out loud, right? Coz even though for some people it's normal, for me it's like really weird and anyone I see talking to theirselves, I find them so funny and in a bad way. So for those people talking to themselves, I advice them to stop it coz it looks really funny. You don't know maybe the people around you are laughing at you in their minds.

Nowadays talking to one's self is no big deal. I see people everyday talking to themselves all the time. Most of the time they're talking to someone on their cell phone. So, you see today talking to one's self is not as taboo as it use to be.

Its a really weird thing when this happens. There is this on lady that always rides this bus. She sits there and rattles on about all kinds of things. Its like she is carrying on a conversation. One day i heard her say,"Mom, just stay on your own side and leave me alone." Shes not wearing a blue tooth or a ear piece. She always has with her a dolly with a large suitcase and what looks like a bed roll. Other people on the bus give her strange looks and some laugh at her.

Hiya NT, When in the Shops here going for Grocery I am often not sure if they talk to themselves or if they have a mobile phone that I cannot see. However if they do talk to themselves that is not a bad thing either it must alleviate their stress as we are all feeling stressed out just lately and it does not surprise me as when you go to the Shops your budget is very tight sometimes and the pressure has to come out some way. I think that this is harmless enough. We are all human I have uttered a couple of things to myself when I have banged my leg up on those steel trolleys ouch but other than that I keep myself in my own little world as I have to really concentrate on what I am getting and adding up the prices too so as not to overspend. Could be they are worried as well. Quite a few here that do that talk to themselves but a few times I thought they were talking to me he he he but I tried to be polite and not to notice. There are enough problems in the World without having to bother about just talking to yourself don´t you think? xxx

I am also guilty of this. I usually do this when I am driving alone. Sometimes I tend talk out loud especially when I am already bored in a long trip. You really looked crazy and funny. When I saw someone talking to themself, first I really think that it is funny and they are really have a little bit crazy minds. But realizing that I also did that, makes me smile and look at myself funny too.

Ha ha ha well, they are not crazy. I cannot judge them. Maybe they do not know what they are doing, and so they talk to themselves not knowing that someone can actually hear them. He he… Maybe they are alone or there is no one they could talk to. If I heard someone doing that, I am just going to keep quiet and understand them. I also do that. It happened to me once. I remember the day where I am so depressed and stress, and what goes on my mind I just talk to myself and I never notice that I am actually talking to myself, until someone ask me, “Are you talking to yourself?” It is so embarrassing Ha ha.

Hi! At first I would think that it is a little strange but then again, I remind myself that some people do need to talk to themselves as it does kinda help one to stay organized. We get caught up in so much "stuff" that you need a minute to just sort it all out....in the right places of course. :-)

That happens a lot, Humans are social animals and they naturally can`t live without talking. Yet its Strange that a normal person speaks to himself. But books on psychology says its completely normal and they would be stressed in they did not do that. Crazy na?

Yep I sure have. Ha ha, I am one who talks out loud to myself. With certain things hearing myself say it out loud helps me to remember it. I have seen and heard many people do this. It doesn't bother me at all. I think alot more people do it than they care to say.

Yes, many times during my life I have heard this. I guess sometimes I talk aloud myself if something is on my mind. It can happen sometimes if I am watching TV alone. Somebody may say something I thought was stupid and I would say aloud, "Don't be so stupid!" It's OK though, because there has only ever been me there to hear it! _Derek

A few times I have heard people talking to themselves out loud but I barely bat an eyelash to it anymore. Because I talk to myself out loud fairly often in my life. There are just times where that is about the only way I can keep myself sane a lot of the time. Then there are those instances where I have to talk myself through some instructions to do something. Believe me, it is much easier to remember things out loud at times, then to just read things. I'm sure everyone talks to themselves at times, and I'm sure many of those people no matter how much they refuse to acknowledge that they do it, do it far more often. Sanity is overrated when you really think about it. Then again, talking to yourself is not a completely insane thing to do, given some of the things people have been known to do.

No it's not crazy. It's thinking out loud. Just about everyone does it when they get older. My dad used to do it and I thought it was funny and now I do it.

I talk to myself sometimes when I think nobody hears it... usually when I have to make a decision it helps if I "discuss" it with myself. Also, when I prepare for job interview or going to have a discussion that I'm worried about, I practice loudly what I plan to say. I'm usually not surprised when I see others talking to themselves, although some do that a lot. When I lived in the city, I learned that urban people look down on those who talk to themselves, saying that they must be "crazy" villagers

several years ago, when I work in office, I took the bus to go to work, everyday I saw a girl in the bus stop that took the same bus with me, she always talk to her self, sometimes she laugh too in a way that make me also laugh but not to mock her, I just couldnt help my self because of the way she was reacting, sorry.. Actually is not funny if you think twice, I believe sometimes this is the way some people react when they have lots in their mind, sometimes I find my self doing the same think, I am not laughing though... I have lots in my mind too.. he he
