Do you talk to yourself? (singing doesn't count)

Post Reply New Topic

I always thought it was a twin thing, but perhaps its an aspie thing. I am constantly talking to myself. It really is one of the best way to have great conversations. I also talk to the cats, spiders that make their way into the house and some inanimate objects. i have gotten to the place in my life where i dont really care how crazy it looks. People ask me if who i am talking to, and i tell them 'myself' why deny it? I know i am sane enough. I can entertain myself for hours and hours.

i usually set up little role plays in my head and act them out in the most logical way possible, how events would unfold if it they were to happen in real life. doing this usually ends up in me making facial expressions and talking to myself, i did it once without realising and got some funny looks

steff

I do indeed and it's nice to be able to talk to a great intelligent guy sometimes...

Kidding people... although yes I do talk to myself and yeah I like it.

It's funny that the first person said they do alot of Rainman stuff I do to. I find that I can't help but to talk to my self. Like many things I do I can't stop. It even goes to the level that I say something I'm thinking, and I didn't realize I said it. That can become embarassing when I'm looking at a very gorgeous woman. Anyhow I find it strange because I'm very visual. Everything for me is pictures. Yet it's like my brain can't fully process the information unless I talk it. Wierd!! ! What is even more strange is that many times when stressed I become non verbal.

To be predictable: Nope.

2 b honest i do talk 2 myself but dats mainly in my bedroom as i always plan tings before wen i go out such as plannin tactics how am i goin 2 beat my opponent in tennis or how am i goin 2 get sum runs in a cricket match so its tings like dis get 2 my head.

I sometimes go over what I want to say to other people in the near future to myself, but I don't think that counts.

All of the time. My boyfriend often thinks I am talking to him and he will respond. I immediately get annoyed because I'm not talking to him, I'm just thinking out loud, lol.

I don't talk to myself as in saying a monologue (not like Raymond in "Rain Man", anyway). But when I'm reflecting on what to write or to say to someone in a future situation, I often speak my thoughts aloud - it becomes easier to verbalize this way. Normally I think in imagery and my thoughts may be difficult to put into words, but the speaking makes them gain substance.

As I was thinking about what to write in this post, and while I was typing, I was saying everything aloud as well.

Yes and I do like my own company.

I talk to myself as in think and politicise out loud in general and also voice angry thoughts and say things I want to practice for times I need them (like if I am being treated inappropriately). - I don't answer myself back though.
I shout at people on the telly even though I know they can't hear me.
I talk to objects cussing them if they hurt me, like if I stub my toe on the little leg under the sofa, I call the sofa a b*****d.
I shout and cuss at the computer and the animated stuff flashing and stuff.
I shout for the whereabouts of the tin opener 'where are you tin-opener, why are you hiding'!
I shout out in the supermarket 'where are you' (referring to what I am looking for) or 'where is it' 'why do they hide stuff, what is the point of hiding stuff' – this is not commutative, just a voicing of my thoughts.
I say 'what am I doing' 'what did I come in here for' when I forget why.

I talk to my teddy bears and pretend some answer me back (but it's me). - However I don't have proper conversations with them.
I don't tell my teddies my problems. I know some people do (even people that say they don't speak to themselves) – but I just don't see the point of telling an inanimate object my problems.

Bearsac talks to people – people I know and strangers – but of course it is really me.


I enjoy my own company immensley but thought the talking to the objects choice was more appropriate a choice.

No I don't

Yes you do!

No I don't, shut the hell up!

Doesn't everyone...?

All the time.

When I talk to myself I see my physical body as another person, different perhaps. My mind is the talker and myself as the real character and my body as the second character.
I find that talking to myself reasures my perception of the world, I know that by talking to myself that the second person, this being myself, accepts my opinion and understands more than anyone else.
