Talking to yourself.

i know someone who is always talking to themselves and it sounds like they are speaking on the phone and having proper conversations!

i am always catching them and then ask them who they were talking to. they then reply that they were not talking to anyone and this really confuses me because i know i heard them!

this person sits alone in the sitting room sometimes having proper conversations and when i see them driving alone in their car i see them talking as if they are talking into a handfree phone!!

does anywhere here talk to themselves? why do some people do it? what does it mean?

Re: Talking to yourself.

wrong section. please mods could you move this to life section. thanks.

Re: Talking to yourself.

Do u think this person may have psychological problems? You should get them to see someone about it.

Re: Talking to yourself.

i do talk to my self sometimes!!! and imagine somebody replying me and then i talk again :D lolx
i dont find it abnormal but yea i am never too loud that other people might listen to it and i do that in bathroom or when i am really alone!!!

i do this because sometimes i really feel like talking to somebody and want replies like the way i would like them :D or if i want to imagine something happening to me i talk it over with my self and imagine that its actually hapening :D lolx so i guess that person is just like me

but i do this cause i am quite talkative and nobody in my place has enough nerves to bear with my chatter patter all the time lol

Re: Talking to yourself.

Me ( Ms. Heart) and Mr. Brain often gets into convo, sometimes into arguments even. At a times we have shouted at each other too. But we dont let the ppl around us know what kichree is cooking inside and no one hears us either ;)

Re: Talking to yourself.

^ lol @ gs is bst place to divrt his mind

pretty much this. nothing to do with loneliness for me.

i'd just rather talk to myself than most people.

i find it very helpful when i'm thinking things through, the mind has a tendency to run off in different directions. so by talking you're forcing it to concentrate on one point and can formulate a coherent argument or plan.

v intresting!

thats sad though that the person i know must then be feeling so lonely that they are always talking to themselves. but from what i have seen that person has so many friends and close cousins but still does this.

:omg:

lol!

Re: Talking to yourself.

i do it all the time..but not in a psychotic way. i think out loud, or i give comments on things if i'm sitting alone. i laugh by myself a lot too..i'l just think of something funny and start giggling. is that weird?

Re: Talking to yourself.

I talk to myself…more so with age.. :bummer:

Marwah.. that sounds like me…

Re: Talking to yourself.

my my this convo is interesting in so many ways.

pot meet kettle. :)

Re: Talking to yourself.

i do the giggling by myself a lot. i can't help but do it while im in class sometimes and i have to cover my mouth so no one see's me or they'll think i'm crazy

Re: Talking to yourself.

^ I'm the same way. worse, ill be on teh bus or train and start thinking of funny stuff.

Re: Talking to yourself.

i've been caught doing it many times..especially by my mom. she see's me smiling out of the blue and get's all suspicious b/c she thinks i'm in love with some guy and didn't tell her LOL

Re: Talking to yourself.

I talk to myself. like: "shall I cross the road" "what am I doing?"
I open the debate to myself and let the brain do the processing.

Re: Talking to yourself.

I talk to myself. Its a good way of reflecting somehow. The funny part is I dont even have a need to chatter patter all the time. I'm not a big talker at all

Re: Talking to yourself.

I'm rather disturbed by all of u coming out of the woodwork to say that u talk to your self. Perhaps it IS normal then...???

I THINK to myself, have discussions in my head when analysing situations, but I ain't never spoken discussion out loud, anyhow, that's neither here nor there.

What I would like to say is that my neighbour's uncle started talking to himself and then he became mentally ill. Another friend's mum started talking to herself after a traumatic life event and became mentally ill for sometime. Was cured by electric shock treatment in Pakistan, I don't think they do that here.
