Is it normal i talk to myself incessantly?

Whenever I'm alone I talk to myself. Not just speaking my thoughts aloud, e.g. "Where is my book? Ah there it is!" I mean actual back and forth conversations. I speak aloud my thoughts and refer to myself as a 'we' most of the time. I sometimes sit in front of a mirror for hours just explaining theories to myself, relaying why I liked books or movies or ranting about people or real things that have happened to me. When I'm in public I even do it, but if someone walks in my line of sight I stop until they are gone. It feels like they're interrupting me and I just want to continue verbalising my thoughts. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't talk to myself like I do now. I love it.

    It's normal.Highly intelligent people tend to talk with themselves with full blown conversations and discussions. It is a way to problem solve and to find flaws in theory's.

    As long as it's not interrupting your day to to day life I don't see it as abnormal.

    I think that it's fine - however, do you have anyone to talk to? Because people can view those who talk to themselves weirdly and you would be better off talk to someone else. However, in a conversation with yourself, you will always agree with what you're saying, so I guess it boosts self-esteem.
    And don't worry about referring to yourself as "we", I do it all the time, even when I'm talking to other people.

      Also, I don't always 'agree' with myself. It's usually a matter of having a problem and justifying what is the correct response. What should I do? How should I act? Was that wrong of me? Etc. I have many times agreed that I did something wrong, or that some part of my way of thinking was wrong, and then either worked to fix it or accept it if I could not or did not ant to.

      Well the thing is I don't want to have these conversations with other people. They aren't usually taboo topics, but I just want to talk for extended periods of time and when I verbalise my thoughts they become more real and easier to interpret. It's like a unique conversation other people cannot give me.
