Sometimes it happens to me. I talk to myself. When I do something, sometime I tell it to myself first. For instance, when I want to buy something, I tell to my mind, I want to buy that thing. Or when I talk to other person, I tell the words to myself first before I tell them to him. Is that something normal. Or if we do something, we just have to do it right away without telling it to ourselves.

I talk to myself sometimes - I think that lots of people do it, and it's always seemed normal to me. My parents always did it too, and so does my wife. Lots of times I'll also talk to the TV or the computer - not expecting them to respond, so that's also a form of talking to myself.
