Is it normal to talk to yourself all the time?

13 Comments

I'll talk to myself all the time, when I'm home alone or no one's around me. I've been caught on multiple occasions with my lips moving slightly in public and it's embarrassing. I don't *want* to stop. It comforts me. I do this avidly, I'll have full conversations with myself and respond to myself, too. I'll tell myself about my day and reply like I'm a friend. IIN?

    It's one way you can be sure of intelligent conversation.

    Better than hearing "others" voices.

    Yeah I do that sometimes. But I also sing to myself which sometimes comforts me.

    I don't know if it's normal or not, but I like talking to myself and responding to myself too. It is a comfort thing, and it helps me work out issues that I'm having.

    My mom tells me that that is the first sign of people going mentally insane, but I think it's normal.

    ^lol
    I don't know about it being normal the whole responding back part. But people talk to themselves all the time. It's nbd, if someone catches you and you feel awkward about it just say you were singing.

    People who recognize that this occurs are normal. If you did this and denied it, then there would be a problem. Unless you created this login name and responded to your own question and acted surprised by the answer...

    Thinking out loud or yelling at other drivers who do stupid shit or maybe muttering a reminder to yourself is one thing. Having full conversations with yourself, complete with *responses* about your day and how you are doing is a whole other ball of wax. In short, you are one fucked up puppy.
