One oddity of mine that has kept me in a social pickle is how I frequently talk to myself when I'm concentrating on something. It seems as though if I dont say a few words to myself as I'm doing something I'll actually forget what I'm doing and have to stop and think about it for a few seconds, which just feels stupid.
This becomes a real problem when in a classroom setting trying to concentrate on a math test, for example, because I find it easier to solve the problem if I speak parts of it out first... which drives others, and not to mention the teachers, crazy. Its like its my only way of communicating with the other half of my brain.
Anyone else have this problem?
To be honest, I actually talk to myself when I'm alone.
See, I barely have any friends, and most of the people I consider friends don't even talk to me.
I find myself as my own best friend, and talking to myself helps get things out.
So, you are not alone.
