Does anyone else have a tendency to repeat conversations you had with somebody out loud to yourself? I do this especially when I said something particularly funny or impressive. I like to go over and over it by myself and usually pace around the room as I say it.


yes. sometimes i am replaying the conversation so i say what i should have said. and sometimes i forget what the original conversation was because i've embellished it too much in my mind. i wonder why we do that?

These conversations can be running in my head like a minimized window in a computer :lol:
yeah that's a good description.

i think it may be a form of dreaming because in dreams you often repeat events from the events of the day. maybe combined with an obsession with words. it's a strange thing.

Yes but I do it in my head; I process it like I'm re-watching videorecorded footage over and over again.

Many times though, I'll sort of "act out" what I'm thinking, unintentionally.

Yes, even though I keep it to when I'm in private.

When I was a child I would repeat the last few words of what I said to another person.

Yes, I talk to myself all the time, replaying conversations but more likely to have conversations in my head, or out loud, that I would like to have. Does that make sense? Is it an AS thing because I am mostly NT with a few Aspie traits?
