Do you talk to yourself?

I remember when I was younger and would go somewhere with my dad in the car. He pop into a shop to get something and I'd see him walking towards the car talking to himself and laughing and he'd get into the car and it turns out he was basically going over the conversation he'd just had with the shop assistant to himself out loud. I remember I was dying from mortification in the car hoping no one would see him doing it when he was making his way towards the car . He's a perfectly sane, normal man and I don't think he ever realised he was doing it though until I was old and cheeky enough to tell him.

Ohh I've often done that myself. I can get away with it in the car though, as I can always pretend I'm on the hands free.

I used to. But the voices in my head are giving me the silent treatment now. I think they are trying to drive me crazy.

Yep I do a fair bit - usually when shopping as it helps me organise what I need - yeah I could write a list or something but meh!

I also tend to pace when on the phone

I was walking home from a friend's house late one night, chattering away to myself when I rounded the corner and saw a couple sitting on the wall at the end of one of the garden's. I promptly shut up but as I was passing them I heard him saying, "Is he gonna say hello, is he gonna say hello, is he gonna say hello".

So I said hello.

They obviously thought I was some sort of weirdo.

I once said thank you to the Luas when I got off it..

I thank the ATM when it spits out the money.

It's probably part relief that makes me do it.

I remember a good few years ago, I was walking home fairly late one night possibly after a few drinks.

The road I was on, is extremely quiet, wouldn't meet ppl much on it.

Anyway it was cold and/or wet so I had a hoodie up and my head down.

For whatever reason the sound a bird like a hawk would make was in my head, so I started doing it out loud.... next thing I see a pair of feet pass me.

Felt pure embarrassed but they wouldn't have seen my face so no harm done

If you live alone you talk to yourself. Anybody who lives alone and denies this is lying.

I live alone and I never talk to myself aloud. I might start though so neighbours might think I've got friends. Lets see them give me odd looks then !!
