do you talk to yourself when you feel whatever you are saying is not taken in a right way or misunderstood and you are pissed of that you are not being heard..???

Hi Gemini, When I feel that something I have said is misunderstood or not listened to, I actually tend to go into actions rather that words. I either go really quiet because I don't talk often, and not being understood just annoys me to the point I won't speak again. Or I will go quiet to keep the anger away since I also get angry when I have ideas but can't express them in a way that can be understand by people. Away from that I do talk to myself and enjoy it immensely (when not thinking of the oddness of it all lol), it is probably a big contributing factor to why I can't be understood at other times Oh well, all the best, Dranz

Yep, I talk to myself as well. I think some of us do that. I love talking out loud when I know I'm alone. Otherwise, I tend to talk just in my head. Sometimes it helps me think clearly and weigh things and situations better.

Absolutely. I talk to myself to rehearse what I want to say in conversations, or just when I'm thinking out loud. Also the way you put it, when people don't listen. Even if they won't listen, I won't feel better unless I say everything they didn't hear, so I say it to myself.

hi gemini i do a lot of self talking, before talking to people i talk to myself. then there are so many things that i can't share with people so i share them with myself. while self talking i get many ideas and also get motivation.

i love to talk to myself but not talking myself loud like anyone can hear me. i normally put it in writing. like i will open my notepad and type in everything inside my mind as my one way of releasing my anger, madness and etc. then i re-read all of them. then deleted them at the end. its one of the nice way to express yourself whenever your angry. and a cold juice after will makes me feel back to normal.

I do talk to myself. I often repeat what I have said to myself so I can figure out if it made any sense. I also mutter to myself when people annoy me.

I love to talk to myself but in the heart, when no one's listening. I feel that I need to get things done a certain way and sometimes I communicate with myself..
