Do you talk to yourself?

Post Reply New Topic

I've probably talked to myself more than any other person! I've been trying to stop doing it in public but me and I somehow get a conversation going now and then.

Yes, I talk to myself. Most frequently when I'm thinking too much / too fast. Its also usually not in public, though at times it can be.

I have a dialogue with myself going on in my head most of the time.

Yep. Usually when I'm on my own.

Yeah, I could agree with that... sort of.

I often go through hypothetical social situations in my head.
I debate myself on this or that in my head.

And most definately I talk to myself, though not terribly often, and for the most part not in public. In the real world I try to appear neurotypical and most certainly would NEVER do it in front of a psychologist.

I swear that once in a while my mouth will subtly move in response to the train of thoughts that is traveling through my head... this will happen in public and I often wonder whether others notice or are too wrapped up in thmselves to care...

I don't usually have them out loud, but I've always got some kind of conversation going on in my head. Mostly it's all of the things that I wish I could say out loud to someone.

I do it all the time, sometimes even repeating meaningless phrases.

Sorta-kinda. Mostly in my head, but usually not aloud unless I've read something I'm interested in on the net. I occasionally do make comments on what I read out loud.

I try to curb my talking-to-myself when I'm in public places, but find myself at least moving my mouth in silent speech or sometimes mumbling under my breath. Then I try harder, but it doesn't always work.

When I'm alone, I give myself the OK to talk to myself all I want. I have nobody else to talk to in my apartment, and I find that verbalizing my thoughts helps my writing.

I do a bit of perseveration and at first that startled me; I may be imitating a dear friend who died in 2000, who had many autistic symptoms and perseverated constantly. I tend to repeat just one word out of a phrase I've already said aloud, or one or two words that just come out by themselves unbidden--and I repeat only once or twice as a rule. It feels like a nervous habit. I am not worried about it. I have bigger things to worry about.

Yes I do. I make up stories, talk through problems, plan what i'm going to say, and many other things. However, I have to watch myself in public.

Yeah I talk to myself too. Usually in the early hours of the morning, when there's nobody about and I'm walking to work. I find it helps me concentrate and organise my thoughts.

Although I try not to talk to myself when other people are around, I have been caught occasionally and got some strange looks. Most people associate talking to yourself with schizophrenia.

yes, especially when walking, but try to hide it when people are around,
i do not always care to hide it if i'm in an area where it is unlikely i'll meet anyone i know.

I talk to myself sometimes. Most of the time I do it without even realising until someone tells me to shut up.

I have a better social life with myself than with anyone else, apparently

Sometimes, but not often, I'll say something out loud, and then I'll say it again, only kind of quietly, to myself. And there are a lot of times where I'll have a piece of music stuck in my head, and I'll start singing to myself.

I talk to myself, when I'm by myself. I'm the easiest person for me to talk to. I talk about what's wrong with the world, and how to put everything right, again like they used to be.
