Do you talk to yourself? I do..........

[Lieju]

I do it quite a lot, especially if I'm uncertain of my view of something. Then I try to imagine to point of view that are as far apart as possible, try to find facts and arguments to support each, and then debate it in my head.

 

[TheBarefootBandit]

Brother does, and it creeped me out when I listened.

 

[Cherry Cola]

No I don't

Yes you do.

STFU, I don't want people knowing I'm a psycho!

What's the big deal, you're going to kill them anyway.

STFU & GTFO!

... Pansy

 

[Jedamethis]

I think aloud, but only have conversations with myself when I want to freak people out by being 'The crazy murderous guy who talks to himself'
Yes that's a nice name isn't it...
It is indeed
We should have more names.
How about 'Crazy hobo who likes fishsticks'?
That ones almost as good, but not quite...

 

[Thwarted]

just a sec, ill ask

 

[Pegghead]

*Hmmm yeah I'd say I don't really talk to myself, people woud think I'm crazy* I suppose sometimes I talk to myself, but then again I pretty much never shut up at times (I guess you could say I like a nice chat).

Do you ever talk to yourself? Cause I do!...well I don't have full blown conversations with myself like I don't talk to voices that aren't there or hear voices that aren't there but I do talk to myself occasionally. For example I might practise by myself explaining something to a friend alone. Or I might commentate on my game play or shout along with the guy on screen to make my heroic charge seem more fun when I get slaughtered charging down the hill in LOTR BFME 2 or cut to pieces as I make my last heroic stand in DoW DC. I sometimes comment on something I do e.g. walk up the stairs realise I didn't mean to and then say as I remember where I was going "no I am going to (X)" to myself. Do you do the same/similar thing? and if so do you recon we are mad or normal?

It's like I'm looking in a mirror.

Seriously, I do that stuff as well (though I play different games, but still). It's something I've done since I can remember, but I think the moment when I took notice of it was when I took 7th Grade English and our teacher always insisted we read our essays out loud to the class (even when reading a book as a class, he would get on people's cases for not reading with enthusiasm; he just felt that reading stuff aloud gave it a life and credibility). So now (with confidence, as opposed to thinking there was something wrong with me), I'm always going over what I'm about to say or write as if I have to say it in front of a group (rehearsing, so to speak).

I often explain things I'm trying to understand, to an imaginary someone when I'm alone. Mainly school stuff. I explain stuff like objects and classes in java, to a person who isn't there.

I also tend to do it when I'm frustrated. Like pace around the house telling a story (to an imaginary someone) about how something or someone pisses me off. I tell it as if I was telling it to someone who's there, but I don't answer to myself. It's always a monologue.

I've never told this to anyone.

 

[Disaster Button]

Hah. You think that's crazy.

I have like 2 voices that talk in my head. One is mischevious, cynical, snarky, sarcastic, offensive, crazy and just plain insane. The other is like the opposite and they actually answer each other and have conversations. They're both me but if I ask a quesiton in my head the other (who I wasn't asking as) answers like a normal conversation. It's soo weird.

I also seem to act like either of these 2 voices at any given time. As well as bits inbetween...

Disaster Button, that's exactly how I'm wired as well. One voice is my misanthropic, cynical, detached devil-may-care voice that thinks of life as a big ridiculous joke. The other is my more empathetic, romantic, and somewhat naive human half that wishes the world were a nicer place. Usually when I'm depressed I'll go for long walks, and after a while the two of them will surface and I'll start having a one-man dialogue. I've taken to calling them Ryxis and Milo.

I haven't quite got to the naming stage, but they deffinitely pop out more when I'm depressed or thinking about things in detail. It's weird but kind of fun at the same time. I dunno if you're the same but I know that as harsh as they can be, I wouldn't want to lose them. They make things a bit more interesting. Although it is weird when I sometimes find myself laughing that one of them has said as I'm essentially laughing at myself. I'm just glad I'm not the only one

 

[Claymorez]

anyone else?

 

[Urgh76]

i talk to myself a lot because no one will listen............... *sigh* still no one listens

 

[Andalusa]

Mostly when I'm on my own, also when I'm frustrated or annoyed at something.

 

[Gigaguy64]

Yes, all the time.
Mostly while playing games, especialy RPG.
Its how i figure out different stragies.
And when reading Manga or watching Anime and Law and Order.
I usuily figure out whats happining in Law and Order pretty quickly.

 

[Mr.Squishy]

Not really...never get any answer :\
Wish I did though...would be cool...and might relieve the loneliness

 

[CloakedOne]

I talk to myself. Sometimes I just repeat a conversation I just had over again right out loud. Other times I repeat funny or satisfying phrases I heard on television or on internet shows and then laugh at them all over again. Yup, pretty weird.

 

[Darkadder246]

yes I do.

people look at me

 

[Rhatar Khurin]

I don't talk to myself outloud. but i do THINK words in a way that is kinda similar.

 

[Wadders]

I think everyone talks to themselves in their head. I know I do, it never stops

Sometimes do it out loud, but only if I'm sure no one is around, or no one can hear me. Then you get the embarrassing times when you're caught doing it. I usually pretend I'm humming or something
