Do you talk to yourself?

Chris P. Bacon · 10-05-2011 02:43PM #1

Well not full-blown conversations with yourself,but like when on your own around the house,just simple little things like 'hmmm what will i have for dinner' and such,or is it just me?

You're never alone with a schizophrenic are we ?

Sykk · 10-05-2011 02:48PM

I'd say random words alright like "feck". Angrily.. Like that time I stood on the upturned plug. I'd say anyone that heard me thought I was inflicting domestic abuse on someone in my household :eek:

Caoimhín · 10-05-2011 02:49PM

All the time. I talk to the dog too.

thebigbiffo · 10-05-2011 02:51PM

The very words 'awareness campaign' usually bring me out in a nasty fit of apoplexy, but we really do need to finally put to bed the idea that schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder are remotely the same thing.

Sure dogs are great listeners... never complain!

I just started working in an office and everyone talks to themselves.... At first i kept answering and then i realised i wasn't included in the conversation!

I'd only start worrying OP, if you get a 2nd mobile and ring yourself up for a chat, or if you start arguing with yourself.

stovelid · 10-05-2011 02:55PM

All the time.

kfallon · 10-05-2011 02:56PM

I play with myself!

fakearms123 · 10-05-2011 02:56PM

Definitely...definitely don't talk to myself definitely definitely

Guill · 10-05-2011 02:57PM

Seemingly so!

GF caught me at it the other day.

Funny thing is when she said i was talking to myself i realised i was! But i had no idea what i was talking about!

We really do ....

Back on topic , I talk and mutter to myself when I'm thinking aloud but I'm aware of it as most people would be and when I've a few drinks in me I'll talk to anybody

xoxyx · 10-05-2011 02:59PM

I do it all the time! I live on my own, and when I'm home I chat away. Nothing particular - just things such as "I must do this". "Ahhhh - I suppose that would make sense".

The worst is when you accidentally ring somebody and go through to their voicemail without realising it. I've done it once or twice and left long messages which consist purely of me talking away - and sometimes singing!

No wonder people think I'm odd!!

Alter-Ego · 10-05-2011 03:01PM

All the time. Used to talk to the cat but I nipped that in the bud when I asked her "what do you think?" about something one day. Bat sh1t crazy, me.

Do we now?
What's this we business?

Sephiroth_dude · 10-05-2011 03:04PM

Yup I do it all the time,I'm not crazy I swear.....

kfallon · 10-05-2011 03:05PM

Everybody does it at some stage, if even the odd "Fook sake!" when you remember you have to do a chore etc

Bykobap · 10-05-2011 03:11PM

Its when you start answering yourself, then you should worry about it.

Jaxxy · 10-05-2011 03:11PM

I talk to myself all the time. When I lived alone I'd chatter away to inanimate objects.

First person plural. In this case, designating we as a society, or to be more specific, those among us who insist on confusing the utterly different psychiatric conditions of schizophrenia and MPD.
It does sufferers of either no good to continue to perpetrate these outdated, inaccurate and offensive stereotypes.
I find it strange how society can be so hypersensitive on the one hand on behalf of communities such as ethnic or sexual minorities, who are perfectly able to be vocal and defend their own interests, while on the other hand tolerating and perpetuating offense and misunderstanding of people who are seriously ill.

If nobody had answered this thread - then I'd say you'd need to be worried

Seems you didn't get my joke with the second post

IamtheWalrus · 10-05-2011 03:18PM

When I was younger I used to hear my brother who was in bed, having full blown, highly audible conversations with himself.

sensibleken · 10-05-2011 03:20PM

It's the only way I can get someone with sense to listen to me.

Cathaoirleach · 10-05-2011 03:30PM

I talk to myself in English and Spanish.

I say 'Jaysus' and 'Feck' a lot if I'm on my own, expressing both joy and anger. But I'll say 'Joder' or 'De Puta' if I'm in the kitchen burning myself or dropping things, even if there are no Spaniards in the flat. It's just automatic now after 3 years of Spain.

I talk to myself in Irish (in my head) if I'm reading something in Irish or listening to RnaG, but often English and Spanish conversations will popup in my head, trying to translate words.

My dreams are mostly in Spanish, and I get stressed not being able to understand certain words or phrases, even though I'm as good as fluent. I get the same for Irish - a feeling of not being able to communicate with people.

It's really interesting how the brain handles multiple languages. I'm glad to have that experience.

Aoifey! · 10-05-2011 03:31PM

Constantly. I always do it around my boyfriend and he can't work out if I'm talking to him or just muttering away to myself.

df1985 · 10-05-2011 03:52PM

All the time, i dance around the house if ive music on. i have to stop myself from singing along to my ipod in the gym.....the odd "ooooohhhh" or "yeaaaaaahhhh" slips out.

People think im nuts...

Do you talk to yourself?
