Do You Talk To Yourself?

[Astrotoy7]

I got one of those 'ventriloquism/transference' things going, where I speak in a funny voice on behalf of my cats, but I'm really mostly saying stuff I'm thinking... I even add miaows on the end sometimes

 

eg. the other day, my gf burnt some scrambled eggs...

 

Me in my cat voice: "Aw Daddy, mummy cant cook for s**t! mreow!"

 

Doing it this way, I seem to get into less trouble than if I told her that directly

All the time. It often helps me in math class... and it's nice to have someone to talk to once in awhile...

 

"Oh great, tommorrow is sunday, that means I have to go to church..."

"Yep this will be quite boring... stupid people listening to an ignorant person... and appauding afterwards..."

"You got that right. Makes you want to say soemthing isntead of being forced to be part of it, doesn't it?"

"Yeah but we all know what would happen if we said soemthing..."

"Yep..."

"So I have keep my mouth shut then...?"

"Yep..."

 

-My thoughts two minutes ago

[Serpentine Cougar]

I don't, but some of the people in my family do. It kinda gets on my nerves, because sometimes it's hard to tell if they're talking to me or just to themselves, or what.

[Titanius Anglesmith]

Most definitely. I'd say about 50% of the talking I do is either to myself, people that can't hear me, or inanimate objects. I'm a little disturbed by that, but that's how it goes.

[JCarter426]

It kinda gets on my nerves, because sometimes it's hard to tell if they're talking to me or just to themselves, or what.

 

Good point. I only talk to myself when I'm alone, though; don't want everyone kn--I mean, thinking--that I'm crazy.

[RedHawke]

Yup... all the time.

 

Though I think to myself more often as outright 'talking to yourself' when walking down the street makes you look 'strange' or 'funny'... or if you want people to leave you alone do it at full volume while walking down the street.

[Jae Onasi]

Well, anymore if you look like you're talking to yourself on the street, it's usually because you have a bluetooth hanging off your ear, so that won't work anymore.

[Samuel Dravis]

I almost never talk to myself. I do smile a great deal though, often inexplicably. This causes much consternation in people wanting to know what I'm smiling about. Apparently "it's a good day" isn't a good enough reason.

[Rev7]

Yes, I talk to myself all the time. I talk out-loud normally when I am alone. I normally talk (considered thinking??) to myself in my head when others are around me. It helps my catch details that I would normally miss. It is a stress reliever, I have found out. To me, it is more thinking out loud I guess...

[mur'phon]

Yup, usually during my regular pre-test cafeine rush.

[JD-Rom]

I always lock the door to my room, so I tend to have a lot of privacy when I'm in there, which means it's prime-talk-to-myself-and-have-little-conservations time!

I do not talk to myself, Rookie! Now get your ass off that chair and get me my minigun! It's time we fight!

 

Um, sir, as much as I respect you and all, I really think you talk to yourself. Also, didn't your minigun get cut to bits by that Sith guy, sir?

 

Well, that's just great. How about you get me my DBAS-256 Shotgun, then?

 

But didn't that get--

[alarms ringing]

[another me]Sarge! Reptiloids have breached the hangar!

 

[sargeant Me]Shoot. Well boys, it's time we kicked some ass!

[lock and load]

Yeah, I know. I have no grasp whatsoever as to how the military works, but random action scenes are pretty much what I'm acting out and talking with myself when I'm alone.

Hm, it looks like a Rancor, sounds like a Rancor, and smells like a Rancor. My guess is that IT IS A RANCOR, douchebag. Seriously, how could you think that that was a friggin' Tach?!

 

I don't know! DON'T JUDGE ME!!

[HerbieZ]

From things i have witnessed in my life i personally view really expressive talking-out-loud to be abnormal behaviour. I have only been able to associate that with schizophrenia, i know it most usually isn't but like i said, it's things, events i have witnessed in the past that lead me to that conclusion now. As such, I try not talk to myself. I get really annoyed if I do. It agitates me if i see someone else do it too.

[Astor]

I'd be surprised if people didn't talk to themselves. I do it all the time - i'm technically doing it now as I write this.

 

And I talk a lot to animals

[*Don*]

People talk to themselves more than anyone else in their llifetimes.

Heck, I talk to myself so often I sometimes feel I have some mental disorder...

[Jvstice]

It's good catharsis.

 

I really only think there's something to worry about if you pick arguements with yourself.

[Ravnas]

Of course, but only in the sense that only I think I'm worthy enough to hear my own articulate thoughts

[Bee Hoon]

You know, like when you're driving and you're yelling at someone that just cut you off. You know they can't hear you, but it makes you feel better to yell at them all the same.

Amen, sister. I do 95% of my swearing while I drive.

 

I talk to myself a lot in my head. My cerebral hemispheres don't get along very well:(

 

And of course, to my darling doggy<3 You can tell him anything (usually a litany of how lazy, silly and smelly he is, delivered in an affectionate voice) and he'll give you the same adoring look.

[Darth333]

Amen, sister. I do 95% of my swearing while I drive.

Make that 98% for me The rest happens when a moron calls me at the office for a stupid question (1% and that's usually followed by a laugh) and 1% when the snow shoveling guy doesn't show up (with 4 meters of snow this winter that might have taken more than 1%...at least the snow is almost entirely melted now ).

[JCarter426]

I talk to myself because I'm the only one who will listen.

 

And most of it is swearing. Actually, not most...50 %.

[Lantzen]

I don't talk to my self, but i have conversations with my self in my head sometimes. A little like Scrubs, but not that extreme

 

I have a friend that talk to himself alot when he is playing game, that pretty funny when we used to have lan. In some of the RTS game we played you could figure out what he was doing by his talk

[Ztalker]

"Filthy hobbitses...precious..."

 

Anyways, when I'm in desperate need of concentration (after little sleep, for example) I sometimes mumble what I'm doing. But otherwise, not realy

[Darth InSidious]

We are always in conversation.

[Cygnus Q'ol]

Of course.

 

I've also have meaningful conversations with people who aren't there.

 

Being a supervisor, you have to be upfront with directives, clear with communication and be an attentive listener.

 

Many times I've had run-throughs of conversations before I've had them to monitor my tone to ensure I get my point across properly.

 

The question should be:

"What was the most embarrassing time you've ever got caught talking to yourself?"

 

I get caught at red lights all the time either talking to myself or singing and playing guitar on my steering wheel.

[Jae Onasi]

I get caught at red lights all the time either talking to myself or singing and playing guitar on my steering wheel.

I avoid looking at people in the next cars at red lights when I'm rocking out to Skillet or Evanescence. That way I don't have to be embarrassed.

[Quanon]

I often forget to get my pants back on when I leave the car, do that in the middle of a shopping street... ofcourse I was like 5 years old... before people get weird ideas
