Do you talk to yourself? And if so, how often? 1

I talk to myself....like a lot. I've never really given it much thought until quiet recently when I started to realize how much I actually do it.
I reckon I have like 3-5 long, out loud, conversations with myself each day, interspersed with smaller, shorter, just in my head conversations.
I generally like to go out on my deck in the morning and have my coffee and cigarette while having a nice long, out loud, monologue about whatever thing is currently bouncing around in my noggin.
A lot of the time I'm actually not talking to myself though, it's sort of like I'll have a conversation with a person who I know in real life, I imagine the response they might give and then respond accordingly. It's only certain people though, for example many of my conversations are with one of my old High School English teachers.
Sometimes I'll just pace around having these conversations for a bit, I find it very entertaining for some reason.
Wow typing all these out makes me sound completely insane.
Oh yeah and before you ask... I have a fairly normal social life, I do get out of the house quiet often. I'm not a hermit. That being said I think I do lean towards the more introverted side of the personality spectrum.
So yeah...enough rambling. I'd like to hear from you guys. Do you talk to yourself as well? Or should I just give up and admit myself to the looney bin right now?

I think you'd be surprised as to how many people do those same things but just don't openly talk about it. It's healthy to engage yourself

Exactly, it really helps me work things out. My neighbor actually caught me having my early morning chat once, I probably went on a good ten minutes before I noticed he was like ten feet away behind a hedge. I can only imagine what he thinks of me now considering how bizarre my topics of conversation tend to be.

Not super often. Sometimes I will, especially if I need to chill myself out or gather my thoughts and organize my plan of action. It's like mental coaching, lol. I pump myself up in the mirror too sometimes as well.
I tend to sing a lot on my own, and it's not always so great . Sometimes I'll just sing about what I'm doing, it's really embarrassing when I figure out that someone is actually home and I didn't realize it. I also sing and talk to my dogs a lot. Equally embarrassing when you realize someone has heard you singing an impassioned but poorly improvised ballad about doing the dishes to your dog.
This thread reminded me of this :
I die laughing everytime.

Lol I did used to talk to myself but once you have a few really close friends that you talk to every day and you can tell them anything there's no need to talk to myself.

That might be the thing. I only really have two "really good friends" one of which just got shipped off to Afghanistan, and the other I get to see maybe twice a week if that. Everyone else I just sort of consider "friends"/acquaintances. Not that I don't enjoy their company, I do, it's just I don't connect with them on the same level as my two really good friends.

I like to talk to myself internally, and when I think of something really strange I'll say it out loud for attention. Sometimes people will laugh, sometimes they'll think Im handicapped.

I never have conversations with myself, but sometimes I'll swear out loud if I think nobody's around.

I reckon I have like 3-5 long, out loud, conversations with myself each day, interspersed with smaller, shorter, just in my head conversations.
Same for me. I walk around circles in my house (like around tables, couches, halls etc) talking to myself. I usually portray a superior version of myself that i've created and i'm often talking about some fantastic situation. Sometimes i'm like a billionaire business man talking in a meeting full of other (lesser) businessmen. I'm often some extreme figure - very wealthy/smart/athletic/just a general hunk. I've always thought I was weird for doing this.. i think i do it for a couple main reasons... 1) I have to much time on my hands/bored 2) I don't talk all that much when i'm with my friends/other people. I'm more of a listener rather than someone who leads conversation. And talking to myself is a bit of an outlet for me
I generally like to go out on my deck in the morning and have my coffee and cigarette while having a nice long, out loud, monologue about whatever thing is currently bouncing around in my noggin.

Right on Good to know I'm not alone!
I can relate to the whole pretending to be someone else/superior version of yourself. I do that once in a while as well. It's usually like a future, more successful version of myself, sort of like how I'd like to turn out 5 years down the road or what have you.

I don't think you guys should feel weird about this at all!
I inner monologue all the time, I thought it was a very very normal everyday thing ...or at least not something abnormal.
Sometimes I can just zone out and not think in terms of words, and it's a nice escape, though. I often express my thoughts and feelings through imagery and painting more than words, but I think that it is a very normal thing for introverts to 'monologue' in their head.
Some of the best writing I do happens solely within in the confines of my head - sometimes I can paint the most beautiful pictures of words and images with my brain out of the most ordinary moments. Transferring it to canvas is another thing, but I'm glad that I have a rich 'inner life' and I've got a lot going on inside my noggin.
...You guys should be too! Can you imagine being a person who relied solely on others for their own amusement or for thought provoking questions/feelings/thoughts? Or people who just seem to have next to nothing going on inside their head...I couldn't imagine living otherwise.
