Poll: Do you talk to yourself?

[Mr. Gency]

Occasionally. Not crazy, though.

This.

Even though I picked "Yes, but I don't think it's crazy to do so." I'm still crazy (not nearly enough to go to a nut house, mind you).

I don't talk to myself, but I do think outloud. There is a difference between saying your thoughts (or reading what you're typing) and having a conversation with the voice(s) in your head. If you ever see someone talk to the voices in their head it's rather frightening.

 

[Ravinak]

I think to myself a lot, but I don't remember actually speaking out loud to myself no.

 

[duchaked]

always...

haha well I think aloud, like recite things out loud

but occasionally...it's as if there was always a camera recording me and my life =/

ok not that bad but sure haha

 

[Paksenarrion]

Yes. This is how I feel...

 

[Bek359]

Yes, because the me in my head is frequently smarter/wiser than the me who actually gets to do shit, and it's good to get his advice out loud every once in a while. Metaphorically speaking, of course. I don't have multiple personalities or anything.

 

[asinann]

If I didn't talk to myself I wouldn't have anyone intelligent to talk to.

 

[Fidelias]

I talk myself through the steps of a process to keep myself focused. Like a long math problem and such. That isn't crazy, everyone talks to themselves at one point.
Now if you start answering yourself, and having witty comebacks to yourself, you are bat-shit crazy and need help.

 

[spacecowboy86]

it started as planning what to say to people about certain things, but now i just ramble to myself because no one will listen.

 

[Fidelias]

If I didn't talk to myself I wouldn't have anyone intelligent to talk to.

I just had to say.
LOL!

 

[neilsaccount]

i dont think so, what do you think zack?

 

[The_Echo]

I was talking to myself literally as I opened this thread.

It's not crazy to talk to yourself unless you're constructing a two-person conversation between you and yourself.

 

[RatRace123]

I talk to myself alot, but I don't think it's crazy. I mean I think I do it because I have some form of OCD or something (was never tested, but some of the things I do point to it.)

 

[Lord_Panzer]

Of course. If I'm thinking about something important, actually verbalizing it as opposed to just debating it in my head adds a certain degree of physicality and weight to what I'm saying/thinking, allowing me to come to a more defined and well thought-out position.

 

[Jujucachu]

I talk myself but mainly when I am doing math or figuring things out in school to avoid having to deal with people I pretended to crazy and for a whole day I ignored everyone but the but the teacher while mumbling about octopuses and antelopes.

 

[Blasphemous Rex]

Does singing exclusively when your alone count? If so, absolutely. If not, well, I like to yell really loud when nobody is around, too.

 

[A_Parked_Car]

I talk to myself fairly often. Mostly when I have a lot to think about. I find that it helps me sort all my thoughts out far better than if I keep it in my head.

 

[EvilMuffin094]

I wouldn't call it talking to myself, just thinking out loud.

 

[CGAdam]

Guilty. Helps me think, but still looks weird, I'm sure.

 

[Trebort]

I talk to myself all the time, the voices in my head are good friends, some of them don't speak English yet though, I think those guys are just passing through though.
