    Default Talking to yourself/inanimate objects

    Do you do this?

    I quite often catch me reprimanding myself for something I've forgot to do. Occasionally, i'll try and motivate myself to do something that I can't be bothered doing like "Come on, Danny. Just do the kitchen floor then you can chill." I've also more recently found myself talking to things in my house like my kettle and my guitar. I even apologised to my washing machine for trying to open the door before its spin cycle was complete.

    Can anyone else relate or is there a possibility that I could be diagosed as clinically insane?

    There was one time I was talking to myself, and then was met with an awkward silence, for I felt I should have a response, but nothing would come to mind.

    I pretty much exclusive talk to myself and inanimate objects.

    I'm so lonely.

    I only do this because it helps me solve problems faster. Well, that and it helps stave off minor depression.

    I talk to myself in my head.

    I am normal.

    I do this so much, I talk to everything >.<

    My Mum likes to frequently remind me that when I was little I would talk to myself while on the toilet.

    I do this. Except it's more like arguing.

    I talk to everything on a regular basis, but at work this is pretty much me.

    I used to thank automatic doors for opening for me. It was out of politeness.

    Is this a thing Canadians do?

    Being overly polite is a Canadian stereotype. Pike thinks you are being overly polite.

    Canadians are known for being generally very polite. (Sorry if any Canadians are offended by this stereotyping. Sorry.)

    I talk to myself all the time. I go over things that I have to think about, but it's not usually a conversation, more just me talking.
