All the time. When I'm alone.
That's why you'd be uneasy in public. You can't be yourself. People who talk to themselves are freaks. They're laughable. So you keep quiet. Uhuh... It's this insane idea of "normal" people. There is no normal. This ideal does a lot of damage to everyone.

Usually if I ever talk to myself out loud, it's for telling myself off. Or for trying to stop myself from thinking something that makes me feel sad, I'll tell myself (my brain) to shut up. Which is kinda funny, thinking about it! Speaking aloud to tell something silent to be quiet.
Weird. |

It's the only way to be!
No, seriously... what do other people do? Just list things they're about to do?
I once had a conversation on how people think. Since then I can't stop thinking about it. I like to think in sentences.
Are other people's heads just empty? 
I may never know...

I also do that in my head.
I think I actually started doing that five years ago.
But yeah... I do that, too.
It makes sense, actually, because usually you like to be on your own. Because other people often make you feel uneasy. Even those that you know.
I call it compensation.

I talk to myself out loud in public. If I notice someone hears me then I just explain what I was thinking about.
I also rehearse conversations if I am unsure about how they are going to turn out. |

It never works for me though. I always f*** conversations up, no matter how often I think about them. I can think about them while doing it and it still won't work.

I figure everything is talking to myself, so I might as well do it when there's no people obviously nearby. I also talk aloud to myself, also known as the entire universe. Sometimes I write posts to myself to make me feel better about me. It typically works.. which must be why I still do it.
I too 'rehearse' conversations in my head although they tend not to go how I expect regardless. The main thing I do now is not worry if I have a 'bad' conversation, because I tend to be hypercritical of everything which includes me and so it's inevitable that I will hypercriticize.
I also inevitably 'replay' conversations in my head, to figure out if I really enjoyed them or not. If I say something I thought was particularly impressive, I will replay that part a few times. I suppose the hypercriticism idea goes both ways.
We're all winners. |

I usually do it when I need to make a decision about something and my personality splits in half and I argue with myself until I come to a conclusion. Other times I go in to day dreams, where I'm me and my mind is someone else and we have a conversation that I imagined in my head. |
Me too, but it has become more stronger this days, today I have been pacing and day dreaming at my bedroom almost the whole day. I get good answers from that conversations, sometimes I write them down. I don't move my lips, the only problem I have is that people thing I'm staring to something or someone instead of the air. |
Aha, same! And when you look up, you realise you've been staring at a person or a thing, the whole time; Very awkward! I sometimes write them down too, so I can have a look later, when I'm struggling with something.

Now this is sort of weird; Talking to myself has gotten so bad, When I'm feeling down, my mind starts telling myself jokes from the past to cheer me up. |
I should try that. |
It helps, or replay scenes from comedies you watch, that's good too!

In my mind I use to refer to me as "we" or "you" more often than "I". |
Yep, I'm "me" and my mind is "you" |

I have full blown 2 sided conversations with myself outloud, usually at home though, when I am out of the house I can contain it all in my head, but I prefer to practice conversations outloud to hear how they sound.
When mom overhears me talking to myself, she will ask who are you talking to??
I joke with, "SHHH I am having a conversation with myself, dont interupt"
She jokes back with...ohh pardon me for my rudeness

Haha, well put. I too think things through an inordinate amount in my head, things that have, will and are happening. And it is like a conversation up there between me and myself. My lips move a bit sometimes but that will mostly be when I know I'm alone and I can let the crazy out  . |

I do it all the time usually when I am alone but when someone walks in and notices me talking to myself it gets awkward. I usually talk to myself to keep track of things or just to talk to myself because theres nobody else to talk to.

It is when you start thinking that those around you are telepaths and know what goes on in your head that you have to worry....
On a serious note I am sure this is completely normal in everyone to a degree. Otherwise what would people think about, nothing? |
