I catch myself talking to myself all the time.
Not lunatic talking to myself like some crazy person.  But talking to myself in general.
That sounds like crazy talk, doesn't it?   :tongueout:

How about you?
Talk to yourself much?

What do you talk about?

Psycho Circus

Every day about all sorts of stuff, especially when I'm stressed out. I tend to go over things in my head, like all the stuff I have to do the following day or to prepare all my crap for work.

I talk to myself all the time on the golf course.  Most of it isn't fit to print though.  In day to day life I try to keep it to a minimum.  Mostly just stuff like "You idiot", for instance when I got my reheated pizza out of the toaster oven and left it on for three hours afterwards.  While watching movies I'll occasionally give them the MST3K treatment, even if there's nobody there to hear it.

All the damn time...and I get called on it...all the damn time.  Everyone from my wife to my coworkers to my family end up asking me who I'm talking to at least 3 or 4 times a week.  I often have to watch myself in public places.  Thats when the really strange stares come my way.  But when I get called on it, I simply say I was having a lovely conversation until someone interupted me.   :drink:  My habit is and oddity among oddities (or maybe not).  Sometimes its as I'm almost in a conversation with someone in a room about something.   :buggedout:  Topics range a lot actually.

Yes I do, every day, not all the time but often enough that it gets noticed. If anyone says anything to me I have a couple of standard replies:
"The voices in my head said to say hi"
or
"The voices in my head keep telling me not to listen because you"re crazy"

Almost every day I find myself mumbling, "okay I gotta _______" and just go on until I realize what I'm doing then wonder if anyone noticed.

Yes, salad.

I talk to myself more when there's no one around. And it's usually when I'm uber-annoyed. Like when I'm driving and trying to control my road rage.

Yes, it's sort of a bad habit.  I try to remind myself not to do it when I catch myself at it, but usually when I say "You shouldn't be talking to yourself!" loudly in a crowded room, it makes people stare even harder.

For you, I think it's a sign of normalcy.  Welcome back sir.

Whats that old saying?

...its they only way I can have an intelligent conversation.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

The topic reminds me of an exchange in a British sitcom:

[A middle-aged woman is muttering to herself.  Her elderly mother walks by.]

MOTHER:  Talking to yourself, dear?  They say that's the first sign of insanity.
WOMAN: Really?  I heard it was talking to YOU.

Of course I talk to myself.

I like listening to brilliant, attractive people.

I don't have arguments with myself; I have arguments with people who aren't there...  :teddyr:
