    I don't have actual conversations with myself, but I find myself saying things like "okay", "now", etc. when I've thought of something.

    All the time. It's a habit ingrained since the children were toddlers and advice was to keep up a running commentary on things you were doing to encourage their speech.

    I still walk around the house telling myself what I'm doing and what I'm going to do. In fact, I even do it walking down the street, "I've gotten the new mouse from Argos and now I'm going into Boots and you'd better remind me to get shampoo and then I'm going to the Post Office... blah blah blah". I've even been known to tell myself loudly to shut up. I'm sure by the time I'm 80 I'll be known as that mad little old woman who walks around talking to herself.

    It goes with the territory when you live on your own, and I talk to my dogs, but they ignore me most of the time.

    Are you talking about your conscience?

    Why didn't you just copypasta the forever alone guy instead of using the "code" tag?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Yeh ... I stick two chairs in the middle of the room and run back and forth having conversations with myself .

    Then the nice man in the white coat approaches to tell me' it's time ' .

    Yes Personality number 1 talks to personality number 5, but 5 wont talk to 3 and 3 hates 1.

    Do you really have arguments with other people in your head.....I do that (I hope you weren't joking or will my face be red :P)

    No, but I talk to inanimate objects, which increases when I drink. Telling chairs/cups/doors to "Ssshhhh" is a favourite. Or giving out to objects that I walk into/hit off.

    I did have a housemate who narrated his life though. "Just gonna make a cup of tea, oh I gotta put the kettle on first, turning on the tap". He did it when I was right there in the kitchen too.

    I don't talk to myself no, because that's rude. I talk with myself.

    No actually it's kind of sad when you live on your own how long you can go without saying a word.

    And I'm curious if people talk to themselves mentally, does that sound crazy? Yes I think it does, must be all the other voices. :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,542 ✭✭✭Captain Darling


    I often sing to myself. Does that count?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,536 ✭✭✭AngryBollix


    Does roaring obscenities while **** count?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭ronan45


    Normally after half a liter of Vodka, yes i do !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 221 ✭✭revell


    My problem is that I talk to myself too much!

    Talking to yourself is much better then talking at oneself .

    I talk to myself regularly but ignore what i'm saying and then give out to myself for not listening and generally ignore that too unless i get really really cross and then i sort of have to listen but i wil generally argue my own point then and find myself not listening again...the whole thing gets very confusing with no one knowing who started the conversation in the first place. But i do generally win any argument i have with myself.

    Drav '' Sod of and get it yourself '' .

    It'll be more like:

    Drav "Would it be any trouble at all if you were to make yourself a cup of tea, I'm a bit parched and could do with some warming up too.

    Drav "Yeah sure, we may as well have some biscuits for a bit of dunking as well"

    Drav & Drav (together) "Hmmmmm dunking..."

    Now that there is real togetherness Drav .

    Don't answer that question Pighead. It's a trap. Stay cool and say nothing buddy.

    If you say "Yes, Pighead does talk to himself" they'll call you a loony and pelt rotten fruit at you. If you say "No, Pighead doesn't talk to himself" they'll say you hate yourself. Lose, lose situation.

    It's a sign of going bonkers is it not? I mean, full blown out loud talking with oneself.

    I do have the odd mutter to myself but nothing loud enough that others can hear.

    In my head I have little conversations with myself all the time... but never out loud, thats proper crazy
