I say everything twice?
In my childhood, from when I was about 2 until I was 8 years old I would say everything twice. I would say "Hi" to the person I was speaking to and then in a quieter timid voice I would repeat it to myself again. It wasn't only with single words I would also say full phrases like "The answer is four" twice too. I don't think it was to get a faster response because I was a pretty timid and introverted kid. I've recently begun to do this again, what do you think could be causing this?
