Do you talk to yourself?

I had a 300 mile run the other day in Turbo's. I realized I was talking to the Radio.
The DJ's were talking to me. Everyone was lying to everybody.

Around my home a pint means ice cream.

Oh yeh, I'm up for that too.

 

[katlupe]

I talked to myself even when I lived with other people.

[PeppermintPatty]

I talk to myself all the time. Lately I’ve been waking myself up talking to myself while sleeping.

 

[fuzzybuddy]

I think we all talk to ourselves, but some of us just do it out loud.

 

[dilettante]

Do we count singing to ourselves?

All I know is that this was my "theme song" in the early 70's when I was first taking karate. It made feel authentic.I I still like to listen to it. It makes me want to get into motion.

 

[dilettante]

Well for me "motion" often involves a damp mop or swiffer today. Though normally for housework I have a Bossa Nova playlist on.

The Bossa Novais good song to move to.

It takes me a while to type out something. I have to stop and go look and see how it turned out. I have a cataract in my left eye that makes it kind of difficult. But I do okay,

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?

I think we all do in one way or another. Especially silently, like we may do while reading a book.

Now and again I say something out aloud, especially when I need to urgently change my mind.
Also, I laugh at myself a far bit, especially whenever I do something unmindfully _ and getting things wrong or twisted.

A good friend lives alone, and she still misses her late husband, even though he passed on many years ago. When I visit her, I often hear her talk to herself, or to her passed husband. She told me that it comforts her to do so.

Exactly this. I used to talk to myself out loud more often before. Lately, I feel like there's enough noise pollution around without me adding to it. But I'm talking to myself either way.

*I'm pretty sure I already posted to this thread. I hope I'm not contradicting myself, but I'm too lazy to read through 9 pages to see what I wrote.

 

[Pappy]

I do at times, but it’s a waste of time. It goes in one hearing aid and out the other.

 

[Alizerine]

After losing my last cat I have no excuse but I sometimes speak aloud anyway. If I know the answer on Jeopardy I shout it out whether anyone is here or not. When I log on with DuckDuckGo they text me a 6 digit code. I need to say it aloud or I forget it before it disappears. So I think there is some advantage in using your voice to remember things. Sometimes our brains can use a little re-enforcement.

 

[spectratg]

Sure why not? I talk to my dog a lot, and to her even if she's not in the same room as me. I speak to my departed wife on occasion, mostly about the kids and grandkids.

 

[SoCalT]

Yep talk to myself all of time.
I live alone, and have for a long time.
I find it keeps me sane.

 

[Mizmo]

Yes, I live alone and when I have done something stupid or forgotten something I berate myself in a loud voice but...

....when I have accomplished something which needed to be done well I am just all over myself with words of praise
and compliments

 

[Vicky]

Yes, when I get mad at myself. I cuss out loud. LOL.

 

[MarkD]

I/we are still discussing that. I say there is no need or shouldn’t be. But I don’t always agree.

 

[GrandPaul]

Yep, and much of the time it's X rated.

You talk dirty to yourself?!

 

[GrandPaul]

Only when I need an expert opinion.

 

[Olivia]

Yes, because I'm the only one that understands me.
