Does anyone else talk aloud to themselves? I do and when my wife asks who I'm talking to I tell her I'm having the most intelligent conversation I've had all day

Yes...I do it all the time. I am especially vocal when I am in the car by myself and I have issues to resolve. It is very cathartic.

This is the best way to think things through, in my opinion. I even call my name out and say, "you need to figure this out, girl!"

@CatiValti23 Yes Yes Yes. me too. lol

@sloryd I'm not very gentle with myself at all.......anything that comes to mind comes out.

We used to have a roofer that came in after we were done framing, name Pete, who worked alone. The contractor said, When Pete starts talking to himself loudly, you better watch out, because he was flashing back to 'Nam. The only thing was, Pete had never been in the service at all, much less in Vietnam.

Oh wow! That's crazy, no pun intended! Was he at least good at what he did?

This is not 'Nam, it's bowling:

@AccursedHalo at the time it wasn't really any of my business about his work. But if he hadn't been a good roofer he wouldn't have been around as long as he was.

Everyone does it. No one admits it.

What I tend to do is work out how conversations will go, and how the other person will react. I play both roles. I have yet to have a real conversation go the same way as a rehearsed one.

"You're much easier to talk to when you aren't here."

Funny delusional human, I can bet you also think everybody masturbates.

And she hasn't kicked you in the nuts yet?

That's what I thought too. I'm sure his wife appreciates that. :/

I do while driving! I'm complaining or cussing someone out for doing something stupid that makes me have to break or etc

Copy that. I curse a lot while I am driving. Probably because so many people drive so badly 🙂

Come on Ella. It's late, you've got to go to bed now.

But agnostic.com is so addictive... Just ten more minutes? No... It's bed time.

Lol yeah, I talk to myself too.. I even catch myself saying things I should've said in old arguments. This one time the security officer where I work caught me talking to myself, so I pretended to be singing a song but I don't think it fooled her.

Yes ,unfortunately curse words.

Christ in a sidecar, I'm Australian - nothing wrong with curse words with me.

All the time. I'm the only one I can find who will agree with me.

I talk to the cats, which is about the same thing. I had a horrible cold a few weeks ago, I had to talk out loud so I could figure out if I had a voice and if I should go to work. I spend a lot of time on the phone, if I can't talk there is no sense in going to work.

2

I do that.

All. The. Time.

Before I retired I worked alone trouble shooting electrical problems on Commercial Air Conditioning, people would stop and think I was talking to them. I was just approaching the equipment on a quantum level to understand what is wrong by asking it. Well that's what I told them. hahahah

No. I'm afraid if l get into a back and forth conversation with myself, we will argue, and that could escalate into name calling, and then it could really get ugly. ?

I often talk to my self and normally my inner critic answers. ☺ need to get that voice a bus ticket out of my head someday!

I do it all the time. It might not be weirdness or old age. It might just be voicing your thoughts. And maybe its something to do with the two parts of the brain, one part dealing with the immediate and the other thinking about all the different options.

Nope, it does not work for me... I have a tendency to ask myself questions I do not have answers for..... 🙂

"Another fine job." (When I do something stupid.)

"Oh, for Chrissake! Try again, Miller."

"Buck up, kiddo. You're okay."

2

I talk to things.
'hey you, c'mere ' when I reach for something.
'fine! Fuckin be that way' if I drop something or it breaks.
'Cooperate !' to a stuck drawer.
I'm alright. They let me out afterall.

I have been known to talk to myself.

You my friend are a ‘one man show!’ What profound answers have you gotten lately?

I talk to myself and my cat, only the two of us here.

I do this all the time. I talk to myself and then I talk to my cat and she just meows at me. Lol! I have to talk to myself as I think through a process or I'm just sitting there doing things. In fact, I'm doing it now. Ha ha!

Lol, it reminds me of the old joke:
Therapist: Do you enjoy sex?
Patient: Well, with myself, yeah!
