Do you know anyone who constantly talks to themselves? Is it serious?

No not dangerous, you just get a cat or a dog and pretend you are talking to them 🙂

Just as well I replied, Rabbit - otherwise, you'd be talking to yourself!

And I think that most of us talk to ourselves at times. It sometines helps to clarify thoughts and ideas before implementing them, and in my case, I find I have very complementary conversations!!

I once heard someone say "I always talk to myself, it works well because I always know what I am going to say next, therefore, there is never an argument" .....

I talk to myself all the time. I know it drives people crazy but it works for me. Talking to myself helps me process and sort my thoughts.

In fact in our office there are a few architects and designers that do constant self talk. Maybe it's a creative thing?

Is it serious? I hope not lol!

Once I even called myself a silly Batch, then myself and I had a good laugh 🙂

When I paint, I tend to mutter to myself whenever I mess up a line or a shading or a colour that was just right. When I used to be a writer, I used to read my drafts to my dog who usually just went to sleep. lol.

I often think that people are speaking to themselves only to find that they are using hands-free.

When I was in a psych hospital, there were other patients who spoke to themselves frequently.

So,I suppose there are lots of reasons why people speak to themselves,

My husband always complains when I speak to him from another room.
He is way more guilty of that btw and whenever I point it out he says he was just thinking aloud.

I whisper to myself...... don't know why..... only my pets can hear me.

My mother used to do it all the time, muttering away, and I often tried to sneak up and listen but never could hear her

properly.

The only problem with talking to yourself is when you start believing the stupid answers you get in return...........

I've always talked to myself. (I was an only child) It used to be embarrassing if people caught me doing it, but I don't bother nowadays.

In fact hubby & I have separate computer rooms because I constantly natter away while I'm doing my family tree and it drives him bonkers.

I give a running comentary throughout the day....

It is a verbal learning thing, people often to do it to reinforce ideas, concepts, when making decisions or creating something. Me I do it for the hell of it 🙂

People whom talk to themselves are often comfortable with their surroundings and being very honest.

Not necessarily a negative.

I do. I don't find it a problem, except that I usually know what I'm going to say next...
