Frequently, it helps organise thoughts etc...
The worrying point is when I start arguing with myself.

A lot of the time when I'm typing something in a chat conversation I end up kinda mumbling out what I'm saying as if I have to say it aloud in order for it to be valid. I also make weird faces when I draw expressions. Just not quite ready to be totally digital I guess. 
Yes I often do, preferably when there are no other people around. It's not an in-depth conversation and I don't respond (as in having 2 sides of conversation) and it's generally just once word/sentence sentence, but I always think "man I'm going fucking crazy" afterwords.
Yes. I'm sure I probably have at least a few psychological problems, but I talk to myself out of boredom when I play games or just do stuff on the internet. I just try not to do it when people are around, just because they would think I'm weird for doing it, and start saying things about me that aren't true. I don't know why I'd care about that though.
I'll almost surely start a conversation with myself if I'm tired. It's just a monologue though, I don't play many parts. Usually it's either a pointless rant about someone, or me trying to explain or validate my opinion to myself.
I do it to find out if I'm just being petty or prejudice, or if I've actually got some facts or knowledge. I do it a lot with movies. I basicly talk a review to myself, trying to figure out why I don't like a particular flick, or why I like it.
I'm a fairly anal person in the sense that "I like X" is not good enough for me. I want to hear why other people think the way they do, even if it's only a matter of taste. This also applies to myself, so I push myself to explain it, even if there's nobody else to listen.

I have small conversations with myself quite often. Mostly when i am alone. When i am around other people i tend not to.
I also have given my intuition a voice. I'm not crazy and i know its me. Pretty much when i get a bad feeling i ask myself whats wrong and i answer myself through my intuition. I talk to myself when i am nervous and generally talk myself down. I discuss pro and cons of certain situations and possibilities. I talk and then i talk back as an opposing view. To find out how i really feel.
As well due to my history of poor self esteem i commonly rehearse future and past conversations over and over. It gives me confidence if and when these conversations come up, either for the first time or again. So instead of gibbering like a loser i can actually just go to what i rehearsed and speak more clearly.

Once upon a time, I was in a Blockbuster video rental store browsing for a movie. I was talking out loud to myself as I pondered my decision. A man came up to me and asked, "Are you talking to yourself." After a pause, I answered, "Uhh, yeah, I guess I was." He then congratulated me and told me that doing so is a sign of higher intelligence. Then he walked away.
Oh yeah, my answer is yes, I do. I don't think it's weird, just because I do it so often myself.

My self and i don't really see eye to eye we mainly debate the issues of cheese and philosophical stuff...
What? why are you looking at me like that i'm not crazy... or am i?

I don't have conversations with myself often, but I always try to act out things that I might say with myself. Even if there is a miniscule chance of me having to say it, I'll probably practice it at some point
I work things outloud and talk to myself acting out both sides of a conversation that might arise.
I talk to myself but not as myself, well as myself but not to myself. I carry on moch conversations between me and other people. I imagine what someone would say to me for any instance and I'd reply.
