Talking to yourself

Post Reply New Topic

Yep, regularly, although it's a kind of muttered commentary on something I'm doing or about to do. A voice-over, maybe.
Not really bothered if anyone else hears it.

I talk to myself when I'm focuse don a specific task. Eh hem...like....painting or making music.

Its ridiculous comments too like:

"Oh that's some s**t fool" when making music...don't ask why I go ghetto when I make music and I make electronic music

"What now, what now you're going to get painted," when painting

I even go on long long monologues about what I am doing.

I talk to myself all the time. I explain that it helps me think when asked about it.

I do that a lot.......always have, especially if Im alone and bored.

I do this a lot, usually when I'm working on something or doing something, I'll talk to myself or inanimate objects. Usually not very loudly, but people still tend to look at me really weirdly.

all the time even in public i get weird looks

all the time, even if i dont realise I am the people i'm around know im 'weird' anyway, so i dont really bother controlling it

i prefer to call it 'thinking out loud', personally. It helps because i started doing comedy recently, so now its usually practicing that. or you could just say you're learning lines to a play or something :p

I definitely talk to myself. I usually do it when I'm by myself, but sometimes if Iget nervous or excited, I'll mumble to myself in public. A lot of the time I do it while pacing

sometimes its the only way to have an interesting conversation!

Not in the presence of others unless I happen to lose control of myself as I slip into a complex thought process and start pacing about voicing my thoughts.
And even then it doesn't take me long to realise and correct myself, i.e. start talking in a fashion that gives the impression that I'm talking to the other people present.

On my own then yes I talk to myself all the time when I think I'm alone, I also talk to inanimate objects too, animals, plants, the sky, I don't mind talking to anything.
There have been a few times when I have enjoyed the conversation I had with the kettle as it bubbled in response.

Both Einstein and Andy Warhol reportedly had entire conversations with themselves. They were considered geniuses...

I do this too and my mom (who is NT but has some AS traits) does this as well

I have whole conversations with myself in my room on a regular basis. I try to record these on camera but it's hard to sit in one place and talk. When I talk, I either stim or pace.
