I think everyone does sometimes, but do you do it A LOT?

I am constantly talking out loud to myself when I am alone! Not sure why, and usually I'm only half-aware of it, as it has become such a habit for me, but every now and then I catch myself doing it and have a laugh at my own expense, it is kind of silly I guess!

Yeah I do that all the time when I'm alone.. And sometimes when I'm not
Because, well, I'm afraid that I just might forget how to speak altogether.

When I am alone (or relatively alone), I am constantly practicing conversation skills by having mock convos with myself.

I agree...but only when I forget I am talking to myself and not another person. That's pretty rare though.

Almost all the time; in fact, I'm talking to myself right now.

Oh, all the time. I have whole conversations with myself. I'll make comments about something I'm watching on TV, something in a book I'm reading, or things I'm reading/ doing on the computer. I'll also talk to myself about something that's happened that's either upsetting or funny, or about something I need to do that I'm dreading. I'll also monologue to myself about my obsessions. I talk to myself about a range of topics.
I'm sorry that this is so poorly written. I've had a really rough day, and words aren't coming together so well for me right now.
To sum up, yes, I talk to myself quite a bit.

I do it all the time. People should do that more often. It helps familiarize you with yourself xD

All the time. I have tripped my own mind out just by talking to myself.

i do not talk to myself. it would be a waste of energy.

i always know what i want to say, so there is no necessity to tell myself what i think.

it is absurd for me to say things to myself because it is myself who says what i say in the first place.

it is like a cyclic redundancy error to talk to ones self.

my voice and my brain are connected, and they do not need to communicate with each other via any output data.
