Talking To Oneself

[ctcf]

I argue with myself quite frequently.

 

And like IMB and others, I do have potential conversations as well.

 

I don't think I argue much with myself but I do a lot of what IMB! said.

[wekse]

i do all of the stuff stated so far in this thread....even what snood said.

Ahaha...hah. Awesome.

 

Talking to oneself is perfectly acceptable, its when you go Ed Norton and beat yourself that you have a problem.

Talking to yourself when alone = okay

 

Talking to yourself when others are around = wierd

Exactly, although I've talked to myself at work and then tried to make it seem like I was talking to the closest person.

i have a constant inner monologue or discussion with myself. Sometimes I go through really elaborate future conversations with people I'm about to see, going through the things they might say and then possible answers i might give.

 

I do it without thinking, and sometimes I catch myself and wonder if I'm doing it out loud. Sometimes I'll catch a funny look from a stranger and that will make me realize that I'm going through a potential discussion with someone in my head.

 

I do know for a fact that I sometimes catch myself making faces and reacting to the possible things that I imagine someone might say to me.

 

I really think I'm crazy, sometimes. I mean, I think I'm normal, but crazy people probably don't think that they're crazy, you know what I mean? There was a guy that would wander around our campus, cussing at people, and I bet you he thought he was sober as a goose (I just made that little turn of phrase up, btw).

 

That's funny. I do the same stuff. I have conversations in my head to prepare myself for people I know I'm going to see. I think I'm half nuts.

 

If this thread points out that a lot of people do this, it will take a huuuuge load off my mind.

 

maybe not normal, but more average than people probably give it credit. i do it, too, but sometimes i will imagine these lavish arguments... that's probably the weird part.

HOLY @$! I thought I was the only one like that. Sometimes I get so lost in the conversation (in my head) that I forget what was actualyl said to me.

There are a very few experiences in my life that I thoroughly regret. When I'm by myself and the thoughts happen to wander to those experiences, I always find myself screaming curse words. Thankfully, this doesn't happen often... but I always wonder if the neighbors have ever wondered if there's a guy with tourettes next door.

yeah, when i know i'm going to have some type of argument/showdown w someone, I go through it over and over, with each successive rehearsal being more dominating.

 

And physically, I start to have the same reactions, as if I were actually fighting/arguing--increased blood pressure, agitation, etc. It's probably not healthy.

[cubweiser03]

Ill join in on the IMB group thing too. Guilty. My dad talks alot and every so often ill wonder off and he'll see me laugh and wonder what i am laughing at.

 

Now ill catch myself talking to myself and make one line comments or thoughts. Mostly in the shower in the morning, dunno why, thats when i get my best work in i guess. But i sure the hell dont make conversation with myself outloud and have discussions about something or talk to imaginary people. Thats when you know you are now in Looneyville, like the guy TT described.

[MPC]

imaginary future conversations are the best. i just wish the real ones turned out more like my imaginary ones.

ditto - I'd get laid a helluva lot more often

I do this on occasion as well. I kinda thought it was weird but nothing too bad. The funny faces probably do make people wonder whats going on though but whatever.

I also constantly yell at people on TV and online games and message boards. Obviously they cant hear me but it makes me feel better anyways that I did yell at the for being stupid or something like that.

[Andy]

Yes to all. I go through stuff in my mind all the time. I used to tell people that 'caught me' that I talk to myself because I'm the only one who listens to me.
