Do you talk to yourself?

No, but I do sing to myself
Nobody within earshot should be subject to that

Humus does that for me

Wife thought I’d started the percolator

I thought I was the only person who did this. :)

No, I don't talk to myself except for the occasional curse word if I hurt myself or something, but I do talk to my furkids every day.

I talk to my dogs from the time I get up to the time I go to bed. And yes I curse sometimes ;)

I use to talk to myself. No you didn't. Yes I did, how would you know. I am part of your problem. What problem? You know, the one where you talk to yourself. :rolleyes:

I sing to myself all the time. It’s fun. Who cares if anyone is listening.
Of course where you are, nobody’ probably is :p
 

I see this thread is still going - the only one I've responded to - I'm slow to speak, so different from younger times! But I have just recently for the first time TRIED talking out loud to myself - and it's different from just thinking a thought - speaking it makes a difference. Almost as good as speaking to another person who'd be interested. Better than just letting all the thoughts scramble around inside chaotically. (Is that a word? It is now!) I think it's something that should only be done a little bit though, lest one get carted away. Best to be alone. But then again how would anyone know you weren't on your cell with bluetooth?
 
I always talk to myself and my wife hates it. However I read that it is perfectly normal and actually helps you solve problems or understand thigns.
 
Years ago I heard on T V a man & woman comment that it is important to keep your vocal cords strong by speaking out loud every day. I did not take them seriously, until after years of living alone and not speaking full sentences for years, just grunts, groans, or laughter, & occasionally blurting out something to some T V show. lol But then the time came when I discovered that I couldn't reach high notes when speaking, but only lower notes plus very deep notes. I then tested myself to see if I could scream--and yikes, only a rasp came out. So I guess if I'm ever attacked, I won't be letting out a scream, but instead a very loud and low howl. :eek: I MUST start to carry on a conversation out loud with myself everyday. :)

I talk to my cat, does that count? Yes, I talk to myself as well and to the TV. You should hear
me yell the answers to the questions on Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. I should be a
contestant. Some times when I answer the phone my voice is husky because I have not
been talking enough.

My son was autistic. Most autistics have communication issues. My son would only speak single words
like commands if he needed something. In spite of many years of speech therapy, he wouldn't speak full
sentences or engage in conversations. But I always spoke with him and carried on one-sided conversations
with him as if he were normal. God knows how much he really understood.

Love Wheel of Fortune and have watched it for decades. I will talk back to true crime dramas on ID/Discovery.
A woman is home alone at night and she hears a knock on her door... slowly she walks towards the door...
I yell out... DON'T ANSWER THE DOOR!... she keeps edging closer to the door... I yell it out again and again.
Moron answers the door and winds up in a pool of blood. And I say, I told you not to answer the door.

Today, since I only talk to myself now and then, if I speak at length over the phone I begin to lose my voice.

I talk to myself all the time as well as the birds , squirrels , chipmunks , dogs etc.,
In fact, I’m always talking to my dogs. They would think something was very wrong if I wasn’t talking with them cause they are with me almost 24/7.

Studies have shown that talking to oneself is good for general health and well bring. It’s when you start arguing with yourself that you might have an issue. :laugh:
 
There is this old fella that lives in my mirror, he's an ugly sod, but he and I get along fine. No matter what I say to him, he mimics what I say to perfection, and do you know what, we've never had an argument......and even better....it beats talking to myself.... :bigwink:
 
I do, I talk to my grandmother, my mother, dad, uncles, who are all dead, no one has answered yet but I do ask for help in finding things once in awhile , and I seem to find it then.
 
Mostly I talk to my computing devices. Oh, and to the TV when the Jeopardy game show or a dance competition show is on :D

Still find it funny to see people "talking" to themselves before I can see the bluetooth earpieces! :rolleyes: :p
 
Some say, talking to ones self is merely thinking out loud.....we don't 'voice' our thoughts when others are around because our thought are private. But when alone..no one too hear so.........
 
I talk to myself, tell myself jokes, congratulate myself on cracking me up, talk to my (deceased) Mom and Dad, and, of course, to my good boy, Max. He understands me, and always gives me a friendly wag of his tail to let me know he's happy with our conversations.
 
I talk to myself all the time and my wife hates it. She sees it as a mental problem. There are many articles stating that talking to yourself is a sign of high intelligence and since I do have a high IQ, it is normal for me to do that, as well as other things. I have been to Psychologists and currently a Psychiatrist, just to tell me that there is nothing wrong with me and how I feel and what I do. I am just different due to my IQ. Here is just one of many articles on this subject.

"...I talk to myself all the time and my wife hates it. She sees it as a mental problem..." HER mental problem because you don't bring her into your "conversation". lol
I would mumble self-defense remarks in response to my mother's insults--too chicken to say it aloud. She hated this. :p
 
I went into a huge empty building that had an echo. As usual, I was having the most interesting chat with myself, when I noticed that some sarcastic sod, somewhere in the building was copying every word I was saying, which meant that there were two daft old beggars talking to themselves, and amazingly, saying exactly the same thing......if you read all this gibberish, you need help, you're as bonkers as me......ha ha ha
