I find this fills my free time, though people think its weird when you start to respond to yourself, once in a while its a little awkward when you find out some one is listening to this conversation.

However, I have topped even responding to yourself. One night I was talking to myself and there was an awkward silence, I couldn't help but think i should say something but i couldn't think of anything to say. Have any of you ever had such experiences.

I don't really mean to be rude or anything, but yeah, I think it's a little weird. ;P The only time I'll ever say something "to myself" is cursing if I bump into something, or stub my toe, etc.

I talk to just about everything. Myself, my TV, my chair. Anything! I do talk to myself an awful lot, and argue, and pay myself out. But I believe there is nothing wrong with it. I always talk about something I'm interesting in and my taunts can encourage me to do something I don't want to do but should.

No, I don't talk to myself. I do talk to innanimate objects, but I don't think that's abnormal.

Talkign to yourself is supposed to be a sign of intelligence. I talked to myself in my head non stop. ANd I sometimes willl talk to myself outloud but, not often.

Oh, well, I think everyone does it in there head. I never shut up to myself up there. I just never talk to myself out loud. The closest I come is if I'm reading a text book or something, and can't get myself to comprehend a sentence or something, so I'll read it out loud to myself. Dunno that it counts.

Talking to yourself out loud is kinda weird, but I think when you talk to yourself in your head, but make all of the physical gestures like you're talking to someone out loud, is weirder. I'm really self-coscious about doing that, because I know someone who does it all the time xD

Yes, I'm far more auditory than visual so I talk out loud while working all the time, especially when programming or writing something.

Only way that I could get anything even close to an intelligent conversation when I lived in Australia.

I talk to myself very, very rarely, only when I'm under a lot of stress, and even then, I'm not prone to having complete conversations to myself :p

My brother does, but I don't really. Sometimes I'll make a comment to myself, but I never really TALK to myself. I sing to myself a lot though.

Erm... no. I only sing or hum to myself. Sometimes I curse to myself, but that's nothing special, e.g. saying bloody hell though noone but me hears it. That's different though.

I sometimes talk to myself, but it's usually when I've done something wrong. For example, if I just said something really wrong to someone by mistake, on the phone or possibly online, I might murmur "Goddammit. You've done it again, brain," followed by slamming my fist on the desk or punching the wall. =D But that's only if I make a big mistake.

Otherwise, I don't talk to myself too much.

I always have this feeling Im being watched so I tend to talk to people who are watching me. Its really hard to explain. I don't imagine them to be real or anything of that sort.. I just.. talk to them? Im just wierd :3

I don't have actual conversations with myself. But I do make comments to myself out loud like 'I like that top' etc. I don't find it weird if other people talk to themselves. Arguing with yourself is just funny. If you catch yourself doing it.

Of course! Here is our latest conversation:

"Super Smash Bros. Rocks! Dude, no it doesn't. Uh, yeah it does. Why are we fighting like this man? I LOVE YOU MAN! I LOVE YOU TOO MAN! BEAR HUG!"

Jokes aside, I don't really talk to myself. I pace, but I don't talk to myself. o_o

Edit: Hey! I do that, too, Zeldy! o_O

Yes. All the time.

I also speak to inanimate objects as well. A lot of times, its just "Stay there!" when I put something down. I tend to freak out at random things and yell at them if they make me mad.

Yup. I talk to the ghost and demons in my house at night too. I tell them to go away. :kaoplain: Whenever they start talking to me, I yell "Shut up!" but usually my vocal chords are too stressed to make a sound.

Of course. But it can sometimes be a hassle when all three of me gets involved in a conversation and can't tell who called who a smurfing jackass...

I talk to myself most of the time. Just making sure i'm still there :D
I basically talk to myself about ideas for comics books I happen to be writing at the time and artwork i'm doing. I guess I just have a thing for intellegent conversation :D

Yah, critisizing your own artwork is fun from time to time. Until you call yourself a fucking retard with a pencil.

Wow, really? Never heard that before, but I must be even smarter than I thought.

Anyway, let's say I'm trying to decide what to do about a situation. I'll voice one possible course of action aloud, then I'll think one, then another aloud, and so on until they're exhausted. I have whole dialogues between my mouth and my head :D

Also, if I'm making a plan, I'll talk to myself about it. Eg: "Ok, just three more Plainstrider Beaks, and then down to Ratchet to sort out the business with Chen's Empty Keg, and then I'll hearth back to Crossroads and turn in the quests, then up to the Dry Hills for the harpies." Very commonplace.

And I tend to talk if I get frustrated or something, though that can get very whiny =P

Edit:

Oh, yeah, I do that too. I've gone off on inanimate things before when they've annoyed me. For example, if I set something down and it rolls off the table, sometimes I yell at it.

I talk to my self all the time, i talk to inatimate objects, i talk to pretty much anything or anyone, BUT i also listen, i dont like mindless jibba-jabba, it also depends because sometimes i have wild conversations with myself completely by thinking... no acctual speech.


i find it keeps me sane. It helps me identify with issues in the world today, and arguements with yourself can acctually strengthen your debate
