What is up with this weird thing I do

So I've noticed I've started talking to myself again... Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not hallucinating or talking to another person. I have done this my entire life! I remember being a kid at night just telling a story out loud. Now sometimes I have like a particular target audience of who I'm "talking" to so to speak but in no way do I hear responses or "see" anybody. From an outsiders view it might look like psychosis but I want to stress that isn't really what it is LOL. I just realized maybe somebody here does it or any least know what it's called. I'll also reread texts outloud after I've sent them with intended inflection as well and I feel like that is part of the same thing that has me lecturing thin air.
I want to stress I don't see anybody or get responses back or anything like that! It's basically just talking to myself in my head but outloud? Like I wouldn't do this in somebody's house, only when I'm alone at home. Not like in public places either. For example I know for a fact after posting this I will reread it outloud like I was saying it to a group but I'm really just home alone lol.

I agree.
For the most part I believe people tend to have a constantly streaming narration in their head.
I don't think it is weird to talk out loud either. My mother used to do it.

Taslking to yourself is fine. It's when you start answering yourself is when you should worry.

I'll keep that in mind! To date I've never had a response lol. The whole reason I thought it might be something "not normal" is I heard somebody out side and thought to myself how humiliated I would feel if they were listening. Like I would NEVER do this in front of somebody else.

I do it all the time. Of course, I will admit I'm somewhat loopy, so make of that what you will....

Most people, if not all, talk to themself in some way or form. I'll talk to myself, or pretend I'm debating with someone else occasionally.

you're just narrating for the higher dimensional audience that's watching the show.
you could be like me and have there be voices answering you and carrying out conversations and shit.
don't worry; be happy

I do it to the point where I start wondering if I should be worried. I answer myself all the time, I go off on tangents, make weird noises and voices and shite.

All that stuff is pretty normal.
I experienced most of what you described as a child and it was definitely a trait that I started to outgrow by the end of my youth.
It seems to pick back up the older ya get.
My grandmother has full one-way conversations with herself and she is pretty sharp for her age.
