Man I wonder if anyone here talks to themselves like I do?

Heh, does anyone else talk to themselves? I do.
I'm actually getting a little worried, because over the years it has become noticably worse.
I've always talked to myself. It was usually nothing big at all, just some little quirk.
But recently, I've been paying much more attention to it.
For example, I'll go smoke some weed and get really nice and high. Then all of a sudden I'll snap back to reality and realize (more like catch myself) having a full conversation with myself. It's really fucking wierd. And I actually mean a full conversation, complete with questions, answers, observations, jokes, you name it.
It's like my conciousness kinda moves to the side, and this foreign conciousness comes in on fuckin auto-pilot and just starts going. Until I snap back and realize what the fuck is happening.
I've kidna considered it being a split personality. If that is the case, I can identify 3 personalities in me. There is the regular me, the dominant conciousness. Then there are two in my head which have the conversations with each other.
I dunno if I'm getting too exicited over this or whatnot, but I'm kinda getting scared. It really hits home when my brother comes downstairs and looks at me all confused saying "Who the fuck are you talking to?"
It only happens when I'm alone. If there is anyone around that I know about, I won't say a word.

Don't worry. I talk to myself when I'm alone and high sometimes too. I also do it when I'm working on my own. I think as a general rule of thumb it's only psychopathic if you don't realize you're doing it. You've made a post about it, clearly you're aware of it. You should be ok.

I'll talk to myself when I'm trying to figure something out so as long as it's constructive I guess it's not too loony.

yeah, i agree with everyone else, I do similar things as well. I think you're fine man. I like your avatar by the way.

Its the people who dont know they are talking to themselves you have to worry about.
Sometimes an active imagination needs stimulation. Are we insane? Prolly not. Are we sane? Dont push your luck

Heh, that's a very good rule of thumb, dude!
I started thinking about it as well, I do the exact same thing. I've always wondered if I talked to myself at a 'normal' rate, comparing myself to others of course... is it healthy? Do 'normal' people do this?
I'm guessing that you're pretty normal. And I'm releived, because I talk to myself a lot. No split personalities or whatever, but I evaluate every day things a lot. I especially did this when I was depressed. Whew!

talking to yourself is a sign of high intelligence. Sometimes when we speak our thoughts aloud, they become more tangible and easier to get a hold of.

If it's still bothering you, stop talking to yourself, and start talking to God. It's what us crazy "religious" types do. He listens.

yes I talk and argue with myself often You are not just one, you are many, you are God and you are the devil, good and bad, yin and yang. You are your body and you are your mind. And they all need to communicate with each other. Free your minds, talk to yourself, meditate and daydream as much as you can, that is how new ideas and creativity is often born. but always be in control and don't let your mind play tricks on you. Not all parts of you are as intelligent as others and are simply driven by urges. Learn to listen to yourself and know yourself. Weed often makes you loose focus I find mushrooms to be perfect for small conversations with myself

in walmart i'm ALWAYS singing or talking real loud about shit. nowadays people are used to it but they think i'm some sort of fucked up hippy chick whos always on drugs. if you do it in public like i have people have willilingly come up and asked if i was 'ok'. i'll reply simply yes and get out of ear shot of that person and keep talking.
talking to myself brings out more interesting thoughts and things seem to come to me better. its coolio. plus it burns time on long errand walks and stuff.
