I love talking to myself loudly especially when I 'm extremely down. There is no better motivation than my own voice giving me reasons as to why I shouldn't take things so seriously. Do you have this habit? When do you talk to yourself?

Yes, I find myself talking to myself when I am very focused. It may sound silly sometimes but it is very helpful.

I try not to talk to myself in public though!

It does sound silly at times, but it works for us :)

I talk to myself as well. Sometimes I'm the only person I can talk to and the I'm the only person that keep myself calm the way I need to be.I also talk to myself when I'm focused. It helps me get things done!

True. It calms us in a unique way.

Unless you are deaf, I don't think you need to talk loudly to yourself. Just talk inside your head and people are less likely to think you are totally crazy.

I do not do it in front of other people. Only when I'm alone. When there are others to have a conversation with, it makes no sense talking to yourself.

Since I live alone, I often talk to myself. Maybe it is just wanting to hear a voice.

As long as you are on mylot, you are not alone. Maybe you should try singing. I'm sure you would love your voice even more then :)

I do talk to myself especially in times that I'm working on a logic problems or solving programming issues.

@Scindhia I don't think it's a habit. It's a natural instinct and response of a human. It's a sign of a healthy mind. But doing it much, well, it's an obvious thing.

It comes naturally to people like us, isn't it? Have you ever thought the habit to be odd?

I do.. I do! hihi I do this most especially when I am thinking out loud or when I am contemplating real hard on issues. My officemates find this trait of mine really weird, but they cant complain because I am most productive that way!

With time, people around us would be used to this quirky trait of ours!
