Do you talk to yourself aloud?

I do! I can't help it. I speak to myself aloud everytime I think of issues and arguments as if I am talking to somebody. My friends and family call me crazy and find my behavior annoying. So they always stop everytime they hear me talk to myself. But I've seen a post saying those who talk to themselves are more intelligent! Well, I do not know if it's scientifically accurate. I want to believe it though.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one. I talk to myself everytime I am alone.

@vsai2008 Haha. I still have a hold of myself. But I see people doing that in public. So I remind myself not to.

I don't do that but my mother did. When I pointed it out to her, she said that she had to talk to an intelligent person every now and then. She was not a funny or witty person by nature, but I found this very funny. You can adopt this saying. Maybe it will shut your family members up. :-)

@athaness Drop me a line when you've done it and tell me about the reaction of your relatives. :-)

Well, I talk to myself in my mind. I don't remember having a loud conversation with myself.

My friend also told me that. She said she could not take talking to herself aloud like I do.

It is my hobby to talk to myself. I felt like myself is my real best friend.

Welcome kabayan! I am guilty of that. But I usually do not do that when there are a lot of people.

Thank you! Yes, I do not do that in public, only at home. I'd be too ashamed of myself if I did. Lol

Sometimes I do but I try to limit it as I do not want to sound like a lunatic.

I also try to limit the volume. They always laugh at me when they caught me talking to self.

I talk to myself but not aloud, sometimes I can hear someone even though they says nothing.

I generally do it when no one's at home. I speak with myself loudly on the things that I need to do for the day and how am I going to do them.Sometimes I do think its weird but then it comes naturally I guess.

@athaness they’re right as talking to oneself when people are around is a sign of aloofness and they want you to be involved with them

@aadesh_1987 Yes, I remember my mom asking me if she could join the conversation with myself. :D

Maybe that's the point of my family. They want me to stop talking to myself when they are there.

Yes, as @MALUSE's mother said, we need an intelligent person to consult with during tough times.

Hi, welcome to Mylot. Yes, I do that sometimes, when I am alone at home. It helps me to release the pain, anger, and frustration that I have been feeling for the past few months.

Thank you! I see. I hope you would get through your hardships. Yes, it helps release anger. I always do it when I had had an argument with someone. I utter all my arguments and explanations to myself.

I will not speak out loudly but instead doing it in my heart. I will plan what to do for certain things that I am not familiar with.
