Yes you're normal.I admit,I also talk to myself when I'm alone.I think it's a great way to get things off your mind that you can't tell anybody because you're scared of their reaction.But once you start answering yourself if you ask questions,then that's a complete different story

I think it's normal as long as you are not hearing voices and respond to what you hear that would be hallucination.I sometimes experience that too to myself when I am alone and sometimes facing at the mirror and talk to myself if ever I get mad or frustrated just to release my tension.

You are normal, I talk to myself alot as well when I am alone...I also talk to the tv when I am watching certain programs. When I am out and about I will sometimes talk to myself aloud when I am angry or frustrated...like I will say out loud "god he is such a jerk" if my ex had just done something crappy to me etc. I think that talking to ourselves outloud helps get out clutter in our minds :)

In a way, I should say I talk to myself often in the course of a day, not loudly but in my mind. When I am thinking about some thing, I would be asking myself whether I should be doing this or that, and try to find the solution.

I do think that it's normal to talk to yourself. I don't think that it's odd. When I am alone, it's something that I find myself doing as well.

Hey con, I would say that's rare I usually think a lot I'm talking a lot I'm always in my thoughs sometimes where I just have a lot of thoughts going on haha.. But most of the time when I am a long I just pray and pray a lot haha.. Hours at a time and I in my thoughts I praise God most of the time as well. Some might think I am weird but I have more to be thankful for then to be upset all the time and sad.. So yeah early talk to myself but, I do pray and talk to God

I talk to myself at home when I'm alone. But I only do it at home. I have pets, so I talk to them even though they don't talk back. Nothing really wrong with it unless you do start having conversations with yourself.

I don't do this a lot, but sometimes yeah. :P I don't do it when I'm walking down the street though. :P However, sometimes when I'm walking down the street, and a funny thought pops in my head, I walk around like a smiling idiot. :D Or at least that's what it must look like I think. Oh, and I also talk out loud when I'm studying, but that's not really talking to yourself, is it?
