Could talking to yourself be a mental issue

Despite being a graduate in travel and tours, I like to refer to myself as a farmer and a writer. My schedule starts as early as 3:00 am. I wake up, pray and meditate for 10-15mins, then take a glass of cold water. I can then bite a leftover of my previous evening’s dinner then pick my hoe. By 3:45 am I am already in the farm, tilling… It takes me up to 3hrs then I am done with digging. By then my chicken are eager to be out of the house. I open the door to let them out then feed them well. When they are done, they leave me alone to take care of my tree and vegetable nurseries. I plant seeds, water seedlings and weed where necessary. Once in a while I sell to walk-in customers, thereby getting some money for the breakfast milk and snack. I love bread, eggs, noodles and bananas. After being done with farm work, I make some tea or coffee, take a quick shower, then enjoy my light breakfast before leaving for the cyber café where I spend the whole day writing and interacting… till it’s time to get home to my birds and farm. I enjoy this kind of life. What do you do for a living?! (By the way I have a published novel which pays off well in terms of royalties once a year. I am still writing on and have many manuscripts in line..)

I like those foods too. I am retired and spend my days researching, writing and interacting online. I do some surveys on other sites as well. I then enjoy a movie or series and wonder around YouTube for a while.

For some if they do it in public I would say yes, others may talk to themselves in a private setting. I have a nephew who talks to himself alot..at family gatherings and elsewhere.He does have mental issues in my opinion, but they haven't stopped him from suceeding. However, I think he is able to contain it in public and has a very good job.

I write, post, and blog online to keep myself busy. Being all alone at times talking to myself helps greatly and keeps me in line,

You are very ambitious. I see you enjoy growing things and writing. What kind of novel did you write, and what company published it? I don't remember seeing your name before. Are you new here?

Hello, thank you for the compliment. Well, Spotlight Publishers E.A Limited published my novel. I am not new here but was inactive for a while, and I regret it

Right now I am retired. I always find things to do, be it writing or playing music, writing blogs, researching the stock market, or in the summer, doing things in the yard.

It's very interesting to read about how you spend your day. I wish you the best of luck with your endeavours. It's very satisfying growing things and being creative is also satisfying.
