Do you ever talk to yourself?

[TerribleAssassin]

If like I'm finding something I'll go "Remember, top left draw" to myself

It never helps..

Occasionally I role play with myself, being multiple people, but even then, it's only in my head. My lips are still moving though.

i do talk with myself....usually try to split my brain into logical parts and have debates about how to solve problems

I do, but more in a Holmesian manner: I like to think out loud, and if I can't talk at someone, I simply talk to myself out loud. An example of the 'dialog' might run:

"Ok, so lets see if this works... No, ok, well what about the- Wait, no, try it this way... Sort of, but you'd need to do this as well..."

I find conversation speeds up my thinking =D

Yeah I do, not too sure why, but I think I just like to talk when I don't have someone to talk to. I tend to go a little silly if I don't have someone to talk to during the day so a few words to myself or just some singing generally helps my sanity.

Exactly this. Also, when I'm doing stuff, even if it doesn't need thinking about, I'll announce to myself exactly what I'm doing - "okay, pick this up, put it over here, chop this onion"... etc. Random exclamations and bellowing at the screen when something goes wrong in-game don't really count.

Having seen Sherlock on TV, I now want a skull for the purposes of keeping my thoughts in a real dialogue...

Also, I know exactly what you mean when you talk about effectively narrating my own actions =D
