When I am in seclusion I have full-on discussions with myself about topics that matter to me. Its as though there's two of me or I'm split in into two, sometimes I find myself agreeing with me or I will disagree and justify my rational answers. Hand movements and facial expressions really get used to the max!
I speak to myself a lot.
I remember this one time last year, I was busy speaking to myself and then I disagreed with myself and we started to argue. I got mad at myself and then we didn't speak to each other for weeks.

Don't know if it's normal, but I do it all the time. Other people seem to engage in similar behaviors at times; the philosopher Bertrand Russell wrote in his essay "An Outline of Intellectual Rubbish" that one way of testing one's convictions in their beliefs is to have imaginary conversations with people of other beliefs. To quote:
"For those who have enough psychological imagination, it is a good plan to imagine an argument with a person having a different bias. This has one advantage, and only one, as compared with actual conversation with opponents; this one advantage is that the method is not subject to the same
limitations of time and space. Mahatma Gandhi deplored railways and steamboats and machinery; he would have liked to undo the whole of the industrial revolution. You may never have an opportunity of actually meeting anyone who holds this opinion, because in Western countries most people
take the advantage of modern technique for granted. But if you want to make sure that you are right in agreeing with the prevailing opinion, you will find it a good plan to test the arguments that occur to you by considering what Gandhi might have said in refutation of them. I have sometimes been led actually to change my mind as a result of this kind of imaginary dialogue, and, short of this, I have frequently found myself growing less dogmatic and cocksure through realizing the possible reasonableness of a hypothetical opponent."
Yes, but I suspect I may have some personality disorders. I don't know if doing this is normal.
