Talking To Yourself

Post Reply New Topic

I do this all the time. So much in fact that I don't even realize that I'm doing it most of the time. But when I do talk to myself. It's always saying my thoughts outloud. What I'm thinking or opinion on something. Either as being happy or ticked off. I do it. But my grandparents always get ticked off at me and says I should stop it and people find it weird. But I'm just saying what's coming in my head. I'm not thinking there's someone I'm talking too that's not there. And I have full conversations with myself. Knowing no one is there. Does anyone else do this or some similar things as this?

I do the conversation part when I'm alone and mostly when I'm not at home. I don't know the reason behind it and I tried to stop it but it just comes out naturally.

My boyfriend, diagnosed with schizoid and having many traits of asperger's, talks to himself constantly, nonstop. And it sometimes annoys me when I need a break of silence. His way of doing it is saying his thoughts out loud.

I have conversations in my mind at times but don't say anything out loud.

I like to think,i'm communicating with my higher self.: )

I do admit to occasionally talking to myself, but it's something I manage to avoid doing in public because there's such a stigma against it.

I talk to myself all the time any if it's just little bits and pieces of a thought. My dad NT talks to himself a lot to though I don't think it's an ASD thing per se

I absolutely do the same, always have done. It's just natural, the whole sign of madness accusations are (society's?) way of shaming the culprits for doing something perceived as strange or even mildly antisocial when seen by others. I do my best thinking out loud, talking thoughts through to myself is how I best sort them into order or better absorb complicated information.

I talk to myself out loud to myself because my parents are lousy listeners, so I can't just call them up and tell them my problems. I also don't have a professional to talk to, so I need to give myself my own advice.

Everybody talks to themselves. They've just learned how to keep it inside their head. But using your voice is sorta more soothing.

When I do it or comes out as mumbled gibberish.

Sometimes if I am thinking how a situation could potentially play out (I tend to over analyse things, and think the worst will happen, especially in social situations- I think we all may do this as we know we may be seen as "odd' or 'strange' by others), I do catch myself speaking aloud my part of the conversation.

This doesn't worry me too much, although if I am walking down the street alone I do wonder if people will think I am insane, and if I do it more than I realise. People have said to me before "Why are you talking to yourself?" and laugh, but not in a a nasty way. Usually when I say I was just thinking, and sometimes I think out loud by accident, people are fine with it, especially if they know me.
