Yeah. Usually not very loudly, and usually only when I'm alone. It helps me traverse and keep track of my own thought processes.

I talk to myself sometimes. I definitely try not to do it in public, but when I’m experiencing a strong emotion, things slip out sometimes, and then I look around to make sure nobody heard me. I’ve been doing it less lately, so that’s a good thing!

I talk to myself pretty frequently. Me and my "other self" have had plenty of conversations in the past. I've heard that those who talk to themselves are often more creatively minded.

When I’m in a room by myself and no one can see me, I talk to myself with no sound. It’s not even a whisper - I only move my mouth like I would if I was talking. I’m not sure why I do it, and I can’t stop it. It’s never a conversation. It’s only my thoughts, especially the ones I repeat over and over like it’s bad luck not to. Maybe it makes them feel more real.

I do talk to myself when I'm at home alone (who doesn't?), but not in public.

`"No."

"Yes, I do!"

"Shut up!."

"No I'm not going to shut up. You shut up."

I do that too often.

Nowadays though I suppose you could arrange to walk around with a dummy phone, and folks would think you're talking to a person on it.

But yeah that's an issue.

I talk to my imaginary friends when I'm at home and very anxious. Like I just sit on the couch and have a "conversation" no tv or anything. For some reason I find it soothing.

I utter words when no one else is particularly near me, but I wouldn't necessarily describe it as 'taking to myself'.

all my life - it's comforting to me. In fact, I'm doing just that right now as I type this response to your post. :)

I talk to myself all the time, not out loud but not under my breath, just kind of quiet to myself. I have to be mindful not to do it in public too much. :P
