I spend almost one hour talking to myself imagining people around me walking back and forth without realizing 💀 lmao

I talk to myself multiple times a day. Parents think I’m weird. But I find it’s a way that helps me to deal with my over active imagination, and all my thoughts!

I came here thinking I had a problem and seeing these comments brings me peace lol I love you all

The fact that I live alone doesn't matter to me, I believe I have someone living with me. I want someone to love and care for me, so if no one is around then I am with me.

I told my mom that i talk with myself like how i talk with my friends, and she called me half insane. It hit right through the heart.

I speak to myself all the time out loud. Only when I'm alone. I'm an auditory learner. I need to hear myself speak in order to listen. I have A.D.D. My thoughts move too fast to nail down what I need to hear. Also, the whole ( single alcoholic parent, bullied, moved around a lot, never given attention when I desperately needed thing) could be a factor.

I talk to myself when im Alone too, if im stressed ill pretend there is someone there to vent to, whether its a friend or family member. Even though im aware they arent there, itz like im practicing getting my point across fluentley. I live alone so i just do it involuntarliy

[priyamjoshi]

I talk to myself very often.
I loved how positively you presented this thing.

[angelicam.]

Since I don't think or feel that others, my friends, my sister, my parents or the rest of my family will understand me. I have my self in my head to talk to... The me in my head keeps me in
check tbh.

I really like this! I often give myself little pep-talks to help dampen my anxiety when approaching a challenge, so I can see how talking to ourselves is helpful.

I would have a inner conversation with myself, sometimes the conversation gets to emotional and I would blurt out a word or sometimes a sentence

[potatatoes]

I used to self talk aloud and my mom used to punish me. My family thinks I may be crazy but I wasn't I used to feel relieved I still self talk but nobody knows

[stinkyfeet]

Bro I can’t help it I talk to my self everyday with realizing it😭

[adrenochromedreams]

This was wonderful, thank you, it makes me feel better, even though I rarely speak to myself outloud. It's more that I know the phone is listening. But we all have moments of self-talk, like when you make a mistake and say oops involuntarilly, it's related to being social, you broadcast your thoughts so that people/parents know what's up. :D

[sxtlypurplegamer]

I just love talking to myself
It's just my hobby sometimes 😀

[Betterthangoldandsilver]

Thanks for this, yes, I talk to myself frequently.

[joydixon]

I talk to myself alot because I'm alone a home there nothing else to do.
Some people can hear me yell inside my apartment I just tell them I was talking to somebody else.
Mom hates it when I talk to myself she tells me I need to get a job and find some friends to hang out with.
I wish my dreams would come true because in my dreams I'm very wealthy and successful but in real life I'm poor, lazy and have little drive to do anything 😥.

[iiscritical]

Not only do I talk to myself a lot out loud, but another thing I do often is, I'll have an interaction with someone and maybe I'll say something clever or something that provoked a good response from someone like, I was really helpful or whatever. And after they leave I'll end up repeating what I said to them for like a few times, like saying it in different ways. But I say it out loud, I don't know if that relates to this.
