Oh, yeah - I did it all the time as a child!
Now, of course, I still do it - but, I've a certain wit and charm about me, so it comes off rather a bit entertaining.

Though at times I have wondered if I will turn into gollum, but I don't think that there anyvoices taking over my body. Its funny -JR we seem to have quite a few simularities, I was once told I was having a conversation with my brother at one time while he was also asleep, he is not dx'd with AS.

I find role-playing helps with that. Or makes it worse, I'm not sure which. I play a lot of D & D and have the apparently freakish capability of going from one character to another instantly. I really mean instantly. I will interrupt myself when gaming if I've got two characters and they're arguing.

I totally make a character. I get very involved in who they are. I create another whole person in my head. When you guys were talking about sort of filling a social void by talking to yourself, I thought of that. It's really pathetic. I think I just have more sophisticated imaginary friends.

Well I am makeing characters in my head for a novel that I am planning on writing, the one problem I am having is giving them there own personality, I have found it easier to have them mirror me or being fragments of my personality. I don't know I mostly talk to myself, it is mostly just different parts of my personality, like kid, dark, friendly, leader and mystic, that does not mean I am crazy I just find it easier to act like I am having a conversation with different mes. It alows me to look at all the extremes and have a broud view.

I mostly talk in my head but if I cant concentrate I talk out loud.
When I was like 14 n 15 I think I started talkin to people in public :oops: when you find out that theyre not really there and people are looking at you like 8O :oops:
My friend same age use take the same drugs, with me but she never tripped out. I just think i must be in touch with the spirit world or something but she wasnt. People use to think I was doin it for attention but I really thought I was talking to a REAL person.

Sometimes I talk to myself when nobody can notice it, usually it happens when I'm very tired or depressed. When caught, I usually say: "It's so nice to talk to a clever person" :)

My usual reaction if asked who I'm talking to is "Oh, just myself" - I don't tend to talk full volume to myself anyway. The thing that is irritating/could land me in trouble is that I get annoyed with myself and sometimes call myself 'b***h!' or whatever out loud by mistake. I can usually control it around people but I'm just waiting for the day when I say it and someone thinks I mean them... :oops:

when i was little... i would take the straw off those little juice boxes (the straws are shaped like an "L" ) and hook the short end to my mouth and cup the other end to my ear so i could run around and talk to myself quietly about everything without other people hearing me.

Nobody is around to listen.
Except me, of course.
Sometimes I annoy even myself.

When people ask me who I'm talking to, I just say 'myself' and grin.

I wish I was that clever, it was more, "This seems interesting. Let's try it." "Okay."
