I talk to myself sometimes. It can help you organize your thoughts and think things through.
Also, it can help prepare you in advance for a situation where you have to confront someone or where you have to speak in front of an audience.
For example, let's say that you're taking speech class or that you have to give a project presentation for a class. Talking to yourself is a way of rehearsing for that presentation.
Or let's say that you have an issue to discuss with a friend, family member, coworker, boss, teacher, etc.................talking to yourself can be a way of practicing what you want to say and how you want to say it.
Talking to yourself is not unusual. Of course this also depends on the content of your self-dialog. If what you're saying is highly delusional or dangerous......then i would say it's a cause for concern and could be brought to the attention of a shrink.
HOWEVER.............we start talking out loud to ourselves from a young age. If you observe little kids such as preschoolers (both boys and girls)..........you will find them talking out loud on behalf of their barbie dolls or toy dinosaurs or action figurines as a form of dramatic play.
I talk to myself quite often . As people have said b4 me its helps to organize ones thoughts , feelings and is a good way to reflect over things. I usually feel so much betta afterwards:@: It specially helps when im angry , upset or emotional:@:
I talk to myself a lot...not out loud
but i say something n my head and then answer it...and have liek entire conversation. i think it's normal. I sure hope it is cause i'v been doing since forever
i talk to myself toooo and i talk to people in my imagination too.. sometimes i call out the name loudly to whom im taking to in my thoughts :P Its bad in a way because then i assume that i have told everything to that person when i havent in reality..
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.
oh.....umm in that case maybe he is just so used to talking to himself that he cant give up now :) you dont need to be much worried about that person cause as you can see alot many of us here are the people who talk to themselves :)
I also talk and laugh when by myself sometimes. Then sometimes my mom will ask me why I am laughing.
lmao thats exactly my case :D i laugh like an idiot when i remember something funny and if i make a funny compliment to somebody........doesnt matter whether i am alone or in a gathering :)
for my family its pretty normal now i bursting into unstoppable laughters all of a sudden in a quiet gathering :P
bt with time i managed to make them silent giggles :)
and then i pretend that something funny just happened :P so that Others wont think i am mad :D
Ok i like NEVER talk to myself.... I dont think its really healthy for people to be having conversations with themselves... lol thats a bit much... but I will admit that sometimes be it in the confines of my room or even in public I have fits of uproarious laughter when remembering something funny.... I wish I could control it cuz I look like an absolute nutjob... but ahh well..
I talk to myself out loud (ONLY when Im alone!) when I’m nervous or need to think things through properly (which are otherwise muddled up in my head). And I always rehearse what I need to say if I have to discuss an issue with someone.. it helps!
ppl have dialogues with themselves all the time and thats what the thought process is. if u talk loud enuf that others can hear u then its something to worry about and seek a psychiatrist. seeing a mental health professional is neither a taboo nor carries any stigma especially in the west so i wud not worry. :)
