Last Night (Looking for remote) '' When I find you ya little blx I will remove your brain (Batteries) and **** you in the bin'' Then I found it, changed the channel and forgot about my rant. Do you talk to yourself ?

Maximus Alexander

That would be an example of you talking to the remote, rather than yourself.

It's fine till you find yourself answering back loudly

mosstin

People who talk to themselves are weirdos.

Chris.

I said 'yes' out loud to the question in the thread title.

Everybody does.

Frequently. Usually I don't quite catch it, and have to ask me to repeat myself. I'm often none the wiser. I make little sense at the best of times.

Loveinapril

I chat out loud to myself more when I am really busy or stressed. I usually just say the next task out loud, like "now I have to file that document". I actually notice in the supermarket I will remind myself of the next thing on my list.

That's absurd nobody talks to themselves.

Ah- not that often. Usually when there's no one else around.

No I don't but my parents both do. My mother worse than my father. Used to drive me mad when I was at home as you never knew if she was talking to you or herself.

You should have a chat with yourself there and see if you can get yourself calmed down.

The day will come when that remote answers you and pulls your brain out your arse.

I give out and critisise myself out loud but wouldn't have a full conversation with myself

All the time. Isn't that right Persepoly? It is.

I usually have a little commentary running. A bit like "now Persepoly you know damn well what will happen if you have that fourth pint".
Or "don't mind them Persepoly, they're just a bunch of gobshítes" or "you got this one and you're going to be just fine".

Look at that bloke over there ,Corner, talking away to himself.Sure he thinks no-one can see him too.

Only way i can get intelligent conversation..

Only to tell myself how much of a sexy bastard I am.

Letree

I lecture myself out loud in the car or when out for a walk if i am bothered by something. Its like my rational mind explaining to my emotional mind why its wrong. Like having my internal dialogue out loud. I find it has a better effect at calming me down about something.

chrissb8

I do but not to the scale my Mom does. At times if I'm at home being quiet in my room dossing on the laptop she'll assume no one is in. The conversations are literally her doing 2 people. Example:

Mom 1: "Jesus that's some weather out there"

Mom 2: "Yeah I know ye wouldn't want to be caught out in that"

Mom 1: "Just as well we're home"

Mom 2: "I know...be drenched getting caught in that"

Me: "You alright Mom? why are you having a full blown conversation with yourself?"

Mom 1 & 2: "No I wasn't, I was just thinking out loud"

I'm always taking part in a rousing conversations with myself.

Other times I speak on behalf of another person that I'm going to meet soon and then the worst thing happens. They don't stick to the script :pac: :pac:

cbyrd

I talk to myself all the time.. I answer myself too..
'Will you vacuum the sitting room and the stairs.. no?.. ffs... Do what you're told.. no, I'll start with the bathroom, it's starting to smell...you know I'm not supposed to use the vacuum cleaner, you won't be able to walk tomorrow . Ok so.. I'll spend the next 4 days convincing the 14 year old to do it... And then end up doing it anyway so I might as well do it now. Christ you're a slave driver .. tell you what. If you do a good job I'll treat you to a bottle of wine on Friday night to ease the pain.. How's that? ...2 bottles and you've got yourself a deal...! '
It works every time.. I get the vacuuming done and I get wine .. win win.

McDermotX

All the time , it's the only way I can be sure of intelligent conversation.

ToddyDoody

I go around saying 'bastard' to myself. I don't really talk to myself otherwise.

Thanks..I was going to say that in my post but didn't want to sound too mad ðŸ˜I fight the world and always win in my own head.

kfallon

Often call myself a c*nt....and with some justification too

Winterlong

I curse a lot to myself.... And rarely curse to other people.

phater phagan

When I look into the mirror before I go out I say "you handsome devil". Does that count?

Yes..lying to yourself counts too.

Yeah, have done since I was small. I have severe dissociation. Can usually keep it in when around people though.

No

That's called 'lying to yourself'

Different thing altogether.

Where were you a min ago?

Suffering from 'get witty remark in asap' syndrome, Art.

WTF?

Who-

On a serious note, though, there's nothing wrong occasionally in talking aloud when you're alone. Everyone does it at some time or another - as long as it is not a continuous thing, or when out in public. An odd bit of thinking aloud is not bad.

maudgonner

I replay arguments. Out loud. Angrily. Occasionally tears of temper are involved. Sometimes when I'm walking down a road or in a public place, but mostly when I'm in the car. As if that makes me invisible (no, I don't have tinted windows ).

I feckin' well win every time though, I can tell you!

Jasmine_16

Not full blown conversations, but yes I might utter a few profanities to myself. I'm quite clumsy when I'm tired, so I tend to bash myself off door handles and door frames (no drink involved!). After which it's normally 'you dopey b.itch'. Another one is forgetting why I came into a room - 'ffs, you crazy bint'. I'm pretty hard on myself. And a bit mad :pac:

I suffer a bit from mind wandering since childhood which can lead to me getting a little agitated and animated. If im calm and things are going swimmingly i am able to function normally. Its when im feeling anxious, angry, fearful, stressed, that i will succumb to this type of behaviour and in general i suppose i tend to worry about future events. Engageing so willingly with oneself probably stems from having to spend alot of childhood on my own as im the youngest of my family and my sisters were adults when i was still a toddler so i got used to my own company as years progressed. I kicked a ball around the garden on my own and used to commentate as if i was playing a match. Im my own best friend and probably my own worst enemy too.

It can be a good thing because i consider myself a creative person but constant noise can affect your day to day ability to build and/or maintain relationships with people because you become more withdrawn and overanxious in real life situations as a result


I think its probably a better thing to stay in the present moment and forget the past. Also let the future worry about itself.

Miss Demeanour

I don't talk to myself I just think out loud.

fryup

yep, all the time...i'm a right space cadet

i usually get flashbacks to stressful times, and i end up getting all flustered and start yapping away to myself ...usually happens on long bus/train journeys, then i cop on when i get strange looks off fellow passengers

Tauriel

Ya I do. Usually when doing some calculations or talking myself through something complicated , I just start talking away to myself. Often have people in work look at me but I find that it helps increase my concentration.

kfallon

Most times that I talk to meself is when I'm having an ould 'pedal & crank'.....I like to talk dirty to meself just to get me going :pac:
