Do you... ever talk to yourself?

[Gikoku]

I'm serious. I found I've done this often in my life when I think I'm alone. From ranting at inanimate objects for not working, game commentary, speaking my thoughts out aloud, and in some cases full on conversations... I'm serious. I used to think it was just only me and that I would eventually require some serious psychological help, but then I walked in on my mother a few times when I was younger and caught her doing the same damn thing! Naturally she pretended she was doing something else.. but it made me question just how common something like this is, like one of the most normal things in the world that nobody ever wants to admit to.

So I have to ask, do any of you folks do stuff like this? Or am I really just a complete nutburger...

 

[Quistrix]

Well, I'm crazier than a raccoon on bath salts, so of course I do.

I think it's perfectly normal.

I'd be more worried about the voices in your head telling you to burn stuff.

 

[TRA Rotid]

always

I couldn't imagine not doing it.

 

[SelfAppointedGunslinger]

I talk out loud constantly often because I have simulation arguments/disscussions between someone I know IRL and they get so intense I end up muttering to myself, I then get a massive headache then have to rest. I comment on movies/games some times as if a friend was sat next to me, I spend a lot of time alone though so it may be a compensation thing.

So yeah I guess I talk to myself.

 

[Skotekal]

All. The. Time.

It's usually simulating arguments and conversations in my head. And I'll talk to stuff I own for not working. :lol:

 

[ScareCrowReturn]

I talk to two different people in my head, one of them is called Paul and the other Frank. Every decision I make, I have a three way conversation, generally in my head, but sometimes out loud.

I use to worry about myself, but Paul and Frank said it was normal, so I dont really care.

My Mum talks out loud to herself ALOT.

 

[Tyloric]

To be perfectly honest, when I'm alone in a room I vocalize every thought I have. I'm not even kidding. I always have and probably always will.

 

[cheezMcNASTY]

Never, but all the time. ooh mysterious.

 

[Wonderfoole WINO]

All the time. Im the only one whose answers I accept.

 

[Dark Drakan]

I work alone most the time at work and its the only time I can have any form of intelligent conversation.

 

[Hermit]

I do it because I just can't find anyone else as interesting to talk with
I surprise myself with the things I say all the time

 

[Angel]

Constantly. I think it stops me from being mental, to be honest.

 

[Purple Nurple]

Yessir indeed, much of the time it's just relaying my thoughts back to myself but sometimes I'll pretend I'm having a discussion with someone else that isn't there.

 

[Tsuyu]

To be perfectly honest, when I'm alone in a room I vocalize every thought I have. I'm not even kidding. I always have and probably always will.

It never ceases to amaze me how we're sorta similar. I do exactly the same; I don't speak with myself but I say things out loud when alone.

Oh my GOD this thread works so much better if it's about masturbation.

 

[HobbeBrain]

No, not really.

And as DI is one of the weirder members of our little community, I think we know now whether it's normal or not...

Seriously though, I do it sometimes, usually simulating an argument or conversation with someone, either that I plan to have, or how I could have made something go better if I'd done it differently.

 

[Arseface]

I'm serious. I found I've done this often in my life when I think I'm alone. From wanking at inanimate objects for not working, game commentary, speaking my fantasies out aloud, and in some cases full on orgasms... I'm serious. I used to think it was just only me and that I would eventually require some serious psychological help, but then I walked in on my mother a few times when I was younger and caught her doing the same damn thing! Naturally she pretended she was doing something else.. but it made me question just how common something like this is, like one of the most normal things in the world that nobody ever wants to admit to.

YOU ONLY HAVE TO CHANGE A FEW WORDS

 

[Aions]

All the time.
I get caught too a lot, dont even care at this point.
Family is use to it
co-workers getting use to it
best friend dose it too

Oh my GOD this thread works so much better if it's about masturbation.

brilliant

 

[Gikoku]

Wow, very pleasantly surprised by all of your responses, truly, now I don't have to feel so terribly weird about this anymore!

 

[TRA Rotid]

It's useful if my mind is a mess and I need to organize everything.
"Okay, so if I take 2 hours with this one, 3 hours with this one, I'll still have 2 hours of sleep before exams tomorrow. Perfect."
