*talks to self*

[Palamon]

Do you talk to yourself? I honestly do...I feel a bit weird admitting to it.

 

[Adam Levine]

Sometimes, but I never really call myself by name. Usually, I just whisper a word or a phrase when I have a bad thought in my head. I don't know why. I just do it out of impulse.

 

[Commander Saturn]

If I am studying something I do, it helps me remember the content.

 

[CiCi]

I often talk to myself. I like to say that I'm talking to the game or my animals but, really, I'm talking aloud to myself. Never thought it was weird until I got older and saw other people saying they thought it was weird. Still, I've just accepted that it's a weird part of myself and I try to keep it under control when my fiancee is here. He says he doesn't mind it but I don't want to be annoying, either. Besides, sometimes I need to take a break from hearing myself, be it my voice or my thoughts :P

 

[Mab]

Yeah. Sometimes I argue with myself as well.

 

[Fairy]

My internal self dialog never shuts up, lol.

But I do try to verbally logic my way out of panic. "This will pass", "I'm not in danger", "I'm not actually dying", etc. My therapist says it's good to self soothe by speaking out loud about anxiety because it helps to ground your mind.

 

[Ninetales]

I do a lot, especially when I drive. I find that talking makes driving so much more enjoyable, as odd as that sounds. I always joke that I'm such an outgoing and talkative person that when I have no one to talk to I just talk to myself.

 

[Soaring Sid]

Internally, yes there's near-constant talking to myself, but I don't voice my thoughts out, so yeah, that's that. It helps me make correct decisions, but on many occasions, I'd have wanted myself to be a quick-thinker instead of discuss with myself and then act person. But after meditating, haha, it has decreased fairly, and quick decisions are common these days.

 

[Megan]

In the world that I perceive as reality? If reading aloud counts, then yes.

Otherwise there's inner mono-/dialogues with myself and my imaginary friends (who are ultimately just an extension of my own self. So it works out, I guess.)

 

[gimmepie]

Internally? Yes, definitely. There's a constant dialogue going on in my head. I rarely do that sort of thing out loud though because... well it's not necessary?

 

[Sheep]

once in a while internally, but not much overall? i'm a quiet person both externally and internally, haha

 

[colours]

if i need to rant about something that's bothering me, sure. although it's more like internal contemplation at that point.

 

[o1a1d1s1]

Of course. It's a mix of polish and english really in my case. A way to not forget how to use those.

 

[Palamon]

So, I'm gonna be honest, I talk to myself aloud all the time...it's mostly when I'm watching tv shows or playing games or just...standing somewhere for a long period of time (ie, a shower) sometimes, I just do it.

Also, I'm honestly surprised by the amount of people in this thread who said yes...

 

[Ivysaur]

My brain is playing music 80% of the time I'm not busy but the remaining 20%, sure. And I tend to do it out loud and in English, for some reason.

 

[pastelspectre]

I don't necessarily.. talk to myself? I more mouth to myself whenever I'm alone or I think I'm alone.

I also talk to myself a lot when I have the house to myself .-.

 

[Alex]

Yes and I thought it was weird, but it's nice knowing other people do it too.

I talk to myself when I'm trying to make sense of something. I tell myself my own view points, and counter them as well.

 

[Sirfetch’d]

I have conversations with myself when I'm going on a walk. People probably look at me like I'm crazy lol

 

[Venonat in Space]

I used to talk to myself as a child. Really bad habit. The habit seemed to die down as I got older.

 

[faf]

Literally all the time.
