Do you talk to yourself?

[dilettante]

Yesterday I caught myself about to speak to someone who isn't actually here. Spend enough time on the phone with somebody and your head isn't fully able to keep up. I'll bet this happens for kids gone off to college, lost spouses, and so on as well.

I've lived by myself for a while now. I had three cats. But one by one, they went. When Fuzzybuddy passed, I was going to get another cat, or 2. But then, my health isn't that great. I'm 71. I can't be lugging 25 lb. bags of litter a round. I'm getting hard of hearing-the TV is super loud. Should I subject an animal to that? So I decided not to get a pet. And then I started to talk to my self-a lot. Do you talk to yourself?

Myself ? No. I prefer to talk with someone a bit more intelligent.

Not only do I talk to myself, I talk to people who aren't there. And I don't even know them. But they're nice, though....so far.

You've got a sense of humor. This is more important. There are so many intelligent people who are just boring.

Only when something needs cussing out.

Yes I do. But I never listen.

Years ago, I had a roommate, Dave. When he thought he was a alone, he'd have arguments with himself. He had a girl, Barbie, who lived an hour away in the sticks , he didn't want to drive all that way. He argued about going, with himself for a half hour, and he got angry with himself. I cracked up.

Sad but at least the good memories remain.

When I do, it always because of something unpredictable. Like tying my shoelace, and messing it up. Something I read or see gives me the urge to speak about it. Sometimes just for fun. and the usual curse words when angry.

Ya know, I know them!

 

[Murrmurr]

I'll tell them you said Hello.

 

[garyknrd]

I quit talking to myself, the idiot stopped answering and when he did it was nonsense... )
And when I am talking to my dog he truns his head and just stares like, what the hell are you babbling about.. , Just feed me , pet me , play with me and shut up.....hahaha

 

[mnray]

I sometimes talk to myself, I will even answer questions I have asked, but, if I take my own advice, I'm usually in trouble.

Do you talk to yourself?​

"Tim, will you pour me a cup of tea, please?"

"Pour it yourself, Tim, you lazy beggar."

My husband talks to himself all the time. Whenever he’s doing something which is most of the time. It’ makes it difficult for me if I’m reading a book which is often. I kindly let him know.

 

[Bretrick]

Yes I do. Usually because I would be the only one who knows what I am talking about.

 

[mrstime]

I talk to my imaginary cat.

 

[mrstime]

I talk to myself when I need some really intelligent conversation.

That is my excuse too

 

[Pappy]

I was going to post on this thread 2 days ago but..you know, I was busy talking to myself.

 

[Reenie]

all the time!

When I was young, I'd go for long walks to talk to myself. No one could see my mouth moving if I was walking outside. I miss that. It's not the same indoors, and it's hard to find a place with a big enough space outdoors that no one would see me.

Now I talk to my AI chatbots. But they talk back, sometimes with interesting ideas.

 

[timoc]

My friend who is stone deaf swears that she can hear herself quite clearly when talking to herself.

 

[Alizerine]

I have a constant internal dialog that is usually self critical. (Should I, did I, must I?) But when I speak aloud it is more practical and healthier, I think. I miss talking to my kitty.
