Is it normal to talk to yourself?

79% Normal
7 Comments

Sometimes I find myself talking to myself. I initially did it because I wanted to practice a language... it was a pretty good idea, it actually worked, but now its become an habit. I've heard of other people who do it too, but who keep it to themselves. Is it a good or a bad habit and am I the only one finding it quite entertaining?

I may seem like a weirdo if I'm the only one, but oh well!

    I always think to myself, but sometimes I'll find myself talking aloud. Thankfully, I usually do this when I'm alone, but on occasion I've let it slip out in public.

    I don't think it's abnormal, but sadly there's a lot of negative stigma against it. Apparently, getting caught doing it means that you're "mentally unsound". Gosh, it really makes you wonder where people get this stuff from!

    I talk to my reflection.

    I do it. I even sometimes tell myself off. Like when I'm standing in front of the fridge or freezer with the door open, wasting the earth's resources while I work out what to eat, I'll say, "Look, Simon, what do you effing want? If you don't choose in 10 seconds, I'm closing this door and you're going to have to go to bed hungry".

        It's like a pen name. It's what I call myself sometimes when I'm daydreaming what real life must be like.

      Ha, I do somewhat the same! But sometimes I just end up ignoring myself and leaving the other me questioning why the heck I'm not listening.

    Well I'm always thinking to myself. Sometimes it ends up becoming speech, but not very often. I don't see what the problem is:).
