Do you talk to yourself? And is it a sign of craziness?

I must confess: I talk to myself. Quite often really. It's been a habit of mine since I was a little kid. This isn't the result of my not having a circle of friends, nor having an overactive imagination. Rather, this is just a way for me to hear myself talk and convey my own thoughts, however scattered and confusing they may be. Throughout my life, I learned of others who often do this when are in the moment and you'd hear people conversing with themselves about a wide range of topics.

So, I have to ask...

• Do you talk to yourself?
  
• Do you think people who talk to themselves are crazy? Why or why not?

 

Home boy I do every single nite, wife gets out of the hot tub first once she is inside I start going over my plans for the following day, I'm always high as a kite lol she use to think she was hearing things, big believer in if I voice it and nothing earth shattering happens I have no one to blame but myself if I'm in the hot tub the next night without doing it

 

Do you sometimes talk about everything, including topics that you like to discuss with others, but cannot?

 

Yes.

And no.

Because I do it, and I'm the sanest person I know.

 

I suppose crazy is just a state of mind, no?

 

... No. If you think you're pregnant by aliens and spreading your own effluent on the walls, you're just crazy.

 

And why the hell your rep power isn't even in at 5? You're a wellspring of "crazy"

 

On occasion, like when I'm working alone and reminding myself of something, or criticizing myself for screwing up.

 

Precisely when I do it! Or when I'm working a difficult project...I'll find myself talking through some of my strategic planning, out loud. I've been caught by patients and staff members walking past my ofc and I always get that look like "yup, she's officially lost it" lol.

Sometimes it helps me to hear my thoughts out loud though. Not crazy at all IMO

 

This is exactly how I am.

 

Sometimes,helps get ideas and thoughts together when you say them out loud.

 

Yes,when I'm stressed about something I have to do;it helps me making things look easier

 

I had a 45 minute conversation with myself when I was at McDonald's this weekend. It was entertaining. Ranging from the smoothies there aren't that good (coupon for buy one, get one free) compared to Smoothie King, to the video with the two girls and the shovel, and also whether I can get going with my routine exercise regimen.

So yeah, you're wondering if people were looking at me strange? Yes, but I had my hoodie on, so no one knew what I was doing or assumed I had an earpiece.

 

This made me laugh.

I might talk myself through something or read something I wrote out loud to make sure it's written correctly,but I never hold full fledge conversations with myself,where I'm asking myself a question and then answering it :smt043

 

Oh I do. I do it a lot. I tell people it's my way of mastering the Batman/Bruce Wayne character. You have to be crazy to be crazy.

 

you are crazy if you respond to yourself?

example:

why did i buy that candy ?

i dont know fool ?

who you calling fool ?

you dumbass .

fuck you bucket of shit.

now thats crazy.

 

I think a lot of people do this. We're not alone. Lol
