Do you talk to yourself sometimes.?

I have learned several foreign languages. Some foreign teacher told us that we should talk to ourselves so as to pratise the language, if there was no ideal environment around. However, as you know, it might be weird somehow! Sure, when no one see me, I can do that anyway! Do you talk to yourself sometimes? Why do you talk to yourself? lol

I talk to myself frequently. You could almost say, "All the time." Perhaps it is just a sign of old age. I've heard it said that the elderly wander around muttering to themselves. Really, I do talk to myself to remind myself not to forget something. This is the trick your instructor was telling you. Repetition is probably the best way to learn anything. Saying something in your mind (thinking) rarely is as good to help one remember as saying it out loud. I even scold myself but don't know how much good that does.

It has nothing to do with age. I am famous for that I foget so many important things. Even if I write some serious thing on my hand, it doesn't help. The things will be forgot all the same. Shame on so many levels! By the way, I even speak a foreign language in my sleep, which is really weird. Maybe, talking to myself works.

I often talk to myself. I give myself very good advice, which I rarely listen to. I have always told my husband that the reason I talk to myself is because I am the only one who will give a sensible response.

I am always talking to myself, I find it therapeutic and I can analyze stuff too! I also do a lot of rational talking which my therapist told me to do, if something bad happens to me or I can't work out why a person has said something to me then I will talk it out loud with myself and start rationalizing why they said it so that I can accept it. Rational thinking is so basic yet I have only just learnt to use it and it has helped me sooooo much that it fights against negativity which I used to store up inside my head and would make me feel very unhappy.

I talk to myself when I am mad mainly. I also talk to myself when noone else is around or wants to talk with me about what is on my mind. It upsets me.

Oh, yup, it is reasonable. This will reduce your stress anyway if you do this. Well, have a great day.

A good relationship towards yourself? This makes so much sense. Some people love theirselves while some guys hate themselves. So, haviing a good relationship with your selves is actually very important.
