I talk to myself when i get embarrassed in many people or when I m extremely ahppy or sad. I also do this when Im alone in my room and I have things to do and talking to myself is one way of reminding me of the other things that i still have. I also talk to myself when I feel so depressed with irate subscribers over the phone, its my way of coping but not most of the time, only on certain times.

I know I'm not crazy but I do talk to myself all the time, my officemate said everybody does (he calls it "inner self"), so I don't feel strange about it :) Anyways, I think it's just right to talk to yourself once in a while. I mean, whenever you have conflicts within you, maybe you're battling in a decision, you can't stop yourself from reasoning and sometimes you talk out loud.. But just don't overdo it and never do it in public places, we don't want others to stare at you and think you deserved to be locked up, LOL!

Yes, i do too. I think almost everyone does if not everybody. I should say it's normal. Sometimes i just caught myself talking without uttering the words, just in my mind. Maybe that just prove my mind is working. My mouth may be idle then but my mind isn't. Others may say that talking to your self is insanity's first sign. What do you think? Just maybe for those who really is insane i should say. But i guess sane people do that. I've never known of someone who does'nt anyway. I wonder who could that be?

hello jb! Its nice to talk to our selves speacillay when we are alone. But I can say your style is much more safer than the others who talk aloud.

I read your post Zelmarq, and said to myself, "well I don't really know." So there you have it, yes I do talk to myself, but I couldn't analyse the times that it happens.

Oh! I love arguing with myself and whenever I'm bored, amusing myself by telling myself a joke. ha ha ha! Talking to oneself especially when one is depressed is healthy according to some experts because it is a form of release. So let us all keep talking to ourselves for the sake of having a saner mind. So to all that talk to themselves, never mind what people may say, because in reality it is a form of self therapy and would in fact keep you sane.

Thats what they call a coping mechanism but I advise you not to do it more often, it could be very dangerous.

I talk to myself when i am going to sleep. I ask about what I have done in the day. It seem useful for talking to myself because I could understand what I have done and hw should I do.

Yep, that happens all the time. I love talking to myself when there is no one to talk to and I don't think there is anything wrong with that at all.

I can remember when my sister and I were younger I used to pick on her because she was forever talking to herself but over the years have caught myself doing this in situations when I was upset , mad , happy , embarrassed etc . In fact a friend of mine came in today and I was doing just that . I was checking the dishes the children had did up last night and they were all dirty and I was taking each one out saying " Yup still dirty " , but the only other person in the kitchen with me was my two year old . When my friend came in she asked me who I was talking to and I told her no one in particular , I was just mad that all my dishes were still dirty lol .

I talk to myself all the time lol. I am like you too it helps me to cope and with kids i find i may as well talk to myself at least i will listen to what i have to say.lol My mother used to tell me if you talk to yourself it was a sign of senility or money in the bank lol. I guess i must be senile i have not money in the bank that is for sure. I talk to myself alot when i am nervous try to talk myself out of my nervousness to reassure myself i guess.

I talk to myself all the time. Usually it's in front of a mirror. I know it's sorta weird. But at least it looks like someone is answering :) I usually end up talking to myself when I thinking. So really it's more like thinking out loud. :)

Its normal I guess, but when I talk to the mirror I make sure no one is around.
