Unfortunatly yeah i do, but in my head.
To make things weirder, i even have in jokes with myself.
Ill be like, in my head, man im bored.
And then the 'other me' will be all, your mums bored
Then ill be like your face is bored.
And this goes on till the end of time.
How sad am I, huh?

Don't want to sound crazy but I do it only when I'm alone. I occasionally respond to myself (pretty creepy I know) Be it insane or not but i find it rather relaxing saying all sort of crazy things.

Not so much as talk, but think aloud and then do feedback on that thought to myself.

All the time, but only when I'm alone. I regularly hold conversations between 3-8 characters to practice different voices while I'm driving. It's loads of fun, and as long as you don't do it compulsively, it's not really a problem.

... You have no idea lol. I literally have conversations with certain people in my head. I usually do it when I'm alone and I mostly talk in a loud kind of whisper. These conversations can go on for almost 30 minutes, and most of them are about religion, space and time, my own personally history, a person that's close to me, politics, ect. I've been caught talking to myself a few times by my step brother. He just laughs. I actually remember having a conversation with myself/imaginary person about the Escapist lol :)

Depends on your perspective. I don't talk to myself, but I do talk to the vivid hallucinations I often have.

All the time. I don't have full on conversations with a bunch of different people in my head or anything; it's just me. But I'll talk out loud to myself when I'm trying to remember if I have anything left to do ("Closed the garage door, turned off the oven, did laundry...) or if I've forgotten something (...did I feed the cat? Crap, I had better go check,) or I'm driving to really convince myself of something ("Yes, he was bad for you! You did the right thing! Stop obsessing!"). I talk to myself the same way I'd talk to a friend, so it doesn't surprise me that it's helped you with your confidence. You've started treating yourself as a friend instead of an enemy, so you like yourself more :) There's a quote that I always tell people who tease me for talking to myself: "Talking to yourself is a sign of genius. Answering yourself is a sign of insanity." -Albert Einstein :)

I talk to myself often. Though I mostly do it when I know that no one can hear me. I, by no means, am unable to control it, but I subconsciously often like to do it when I'm alone, and I ponder upon something. I like to act my thoughts out as a dialogue between two people.
Maybe even three.

That sounds pretty weird, but eh.

I talk to myself when I'm painting. I talk myself through what I'm doing. Helps me relax, but my friends find it odd. Meh.

some people say its the first sign of madness, i think those people are stupid, talking to someone is an easy way of preventing madness (even if that person Is yourself)

personally? yeah i talk to myself, when theres no-one else to talk to, and even then i have been known to have mini conversations inside my head when im confused or at a loss about something, really helps sort myself out

Of course I don't!

What are you talking about? You have conversations with me all the time! Why, just last night you were telling me about this girl and-

Shhhhh! That information is confidential!

You're only lying to yourself, you know.

Stop lecturing me! You're just a figment of my disturbed psyche, and a stupid one at that!

Going for the straw man, eh?

Shut up! You don't exist!

I exist only as much as you want me to.

GAH! Where'd I put those goddamn pills?!

I don't. I may think out loud and say a thought that was just in my head. Or mutter to myself when I am reading something over

Eh sometimes, mainly it's just me muttering to myself about math equations in my MMO like how much I have to do of this, what factors apply etc etc... gets on my nerves sometimes.

I do it when I'm bored or when I'm really into something, just absorbed by what I'm doing.
