I do it ALL the time. I'm ALWAYS bored, so I do it.
 
I do it probably more often than is healthy, and I get the requisite bewildered stares because of it. Oh, well...
 
Yes, to an extreme extent. Here's how I put it on another forum:
Hmmm... I don't know where to post this, but I definately do not want to make a new topic on this...

But recently, I've been having these "talking episodes", where I'll pick up some phrase and say it (quite literally) uncontrolably. I don't want to really talk about it because the first thing that pops up is the ignorant "psycho", but it's literally like someone will tell me something and I'll be locked with that phrase for hours.

For example, my friends were mentioning the LOLcopter today. They said "My LOLcopter, it goes SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI..." to you know, tell me about the copter itself. But right after I left them I was saying "My LOLcopter, it goes SOI SOI SOI SOI..." almost all day at a very repetitive tone. Also, when talking during one of these talking episodes, I have a very unusual speech pattern that makes almost every word sound "monolength", by that I mean I will say longer words faster and shorter words slower unconsiously. Also, I feel very disorganized and tense during these times, and even when I entertain myself I become bored very quickly.

To put it in better words, it's like I'm quite literally speaking my mind. No filter, no nothing. And it's caught on fire this week. And my mind just repeats the same thoughts over and over until something (typically another thing that interests me) pops up. It's not an obsession, because it's a truely unconscious thought process (I like Ivan and I know it, but I don't randomly say the same quote of his over and over). They're typically relatively rare and last for only about an hour, but it's really been on fire this week. Today I had one lasting over 3 hours.

So, of course, the rest of the world notices, and it's driving me up a wall because people won't talk to me, or just outright ignore me at all times, pretending it's one of these episodes. It's starting to get really lonely. Hm... maybe if there was a way I could drive myself out of one of those episodes. What pisses me off even further is that I know its going on and I know what I look like, but I just have an uncontrollable urge to continue with it.

Not to gain sympathy, but it gets so bad that I cannot think anything else but the same loop over and over, causing me to say it over and over. It is what makes it hard to be friends with me in real life, and I honestly get very lonely, knowing that my friends are often ignoring me, thinking I'm having another "episode"...

Ah well. I guess the internet suits me just fine.
 
Alot...

But I wouldn't say All the time.

I mean..I usually do it to like..Go over wha tI'm doing at the moment or something..I'm strange like that.

I do it when I sleep walk also..

..My mum told me when I was sleep walking I was saying something about me ruining christmas...In June...

XD
 
Yes I talk sometimes to myself, when I'm doing my project, homework or something. And when I'm a bit bored...
 
I think to myself (Doesn't everybody?), but I never actually talk to myself out loud.
 
Um...yes, but usually not in public. I talk to myself when I get lonely and when it's silent for a long time, so I make sure I don't go crazy. (If I'm not already xD)
 
I talk out loud when I'm by myself quite often, so if that counts, then yes. I never answer, so I know I'm o.k. XD
 
Yeah I talk sometimes to myself, when nobody's want to talk to me and I'm bored.
 
I only talked myself when I'm bored and doing my assignment.
 
If I start to get annoyed, I try to just calm myself down.

Or if my car stalls out in the middle of a road that has traffic going 60mph each way and I can't get it to start again, I scream some rather colorful words. :D
 
Yeah, I do talk to myself occasionally. I find it useful to voice aloud my thoughts, especially when trying to remember or problem solving.
 
Really often, actually and honestly, but just inside my head. It's like I would have another "I" who is my best friend and makes me laugh everywhere. Weird, really weird, I know, but it's so only because of my lack of friends and siblings in real life. ^-^'
 
yes. always. I'm the only person who talks about really odd things at my age and I feel that I'm the only person who won't just rush over and tell someone, as if I'm the only one who I can really trust.​
