I talk to myself often, mainly because I no longer argue with myself, I say no longer because the one time I did was a nightmare.
I was a real bastard to myself, I wouldn't talk to me, wouldn't answer my calls and when I tried sending myself a box of chocolate as a way of building bridges, I sent them back to myself all squashed and mangled.
a very dark time indeed.

When i was a kid and i did something bad, or i was being picked on, or something bad happened and so on i'd have this 'other voice' that would constantly tell me i was always to blame, that it was my fault, that i was worthless and so on. This mostly happened at bed time, where i would be literally telling myself what a little shit i am / was without me realising i was the one saying these things. Brought me to tears a few times.
...But now i'm an adult, and have grown out of that. Hooray.
On a more serious note, sometimes i say a few words of encouragement to myself if i'm doing something hard or something i really don't want to do. 'Come on buddy, you can do this!', stuff like that. I think most people tend to encourage themselves in tough situations when there's no-one around to do so.

Talking to myself helps me organize my thoughts. Sometimes it's just emotional outbursts though. I don't think it's crazy. Guess it's a sign I can get along with myself well enough.
Oh boy do I do this a lot. I have to catch myself often so I don't do it in public. I'm worried about the day when my self restraint wears out and I will be a certifiable raving lunatic. Walking down the street having conversations with myself, lecturing the air and jabbering at abstracts & inanimate objects.
I talk to myself when I'm watching "The Shield". It's usually along the lines of "What the ff...?" or "no way!".
Really, that show is brutal.

I mutter to myself quite a bit, nothing important, just reminding myself that I need to buy food or something.
And whenever I'm writing a story or essay I'm usually vocalising the thought process a second or two before it hits the page, running through the different ways to take the work. I dont do this when other people are in arshot though.

I talk to myself as if I am having a conversation with someone else, but I know the whole time that the other person I am talking to is just me. For some reason the other me seems to think differently than me though...
I am crazy, but the talking to myself isn't a symptom of that. It is completely different. Now, where did mr. sockums put my nuclear reactor?
almost everyone i know does it sometimes, i do it at least once a day, so those who think its *crazy* to do so is wrong because its pretty much the norm
I find i do it most while playing games
