Is it normal to talk to yourself?

Is it normal to talk to yourself when you're alone? And not inside your head but actually speak outloud or pretend like you're having a conversation with someone even though you are aware no one is there?

I do this a lot. I know no one is around and I do not have any imaginary friends or anything. I just verbalize my thoughts when no one is around. Or sometimes, I speak as if I'm speaking to someone even though I know they aren't there. It actually helps me vent. I'm very quiet and have a bit of social anxiety. I've forced myself to get over it so I do socialize alittle but I still don't have many friends. I feel like verbalizing my thoughts has helped me learn how to act in social situations and come up with things to say but I'm sure that if someone caught me doing this, they'd label me as crazy.

Or is it crazy? Is this normal?

    I do it too, but the thought of doing it in a situation where someone could notice it (like, in public), is very different. Then it seems weird and indicative of mental problems.

    It sounds quite amusing to me. I also think it's normal.
    If its helping you organize your thoughts, I see no problem with it.
    Good luck. =]

    I'm not talking to myself. I'm talking to the voices in my head.

    You're normal to me but that's probably only because I do it too. Sometimes when I do it with family or my close friend they think I'm strange too but they know that's how I am so they ignore it a lot.

    You know what they say;
    its normal to talk to yourself.
    It's not normal when you start answering back.
