Poll: So, do you talk to yourself ?

[Patrick Buck]

Yes. And I use different voices, and each one has it's own persona. Which is a little strange now I come to think of it.

And I was having a full arguement with myself the other day over some choice, and walked round a corner, and walked into someone. Who asked me what I was doing, and without thinking i said "Do you mind, I'm in the middle of something?"
Then realised what I said.
I'm an idiot.

I have the "future" or "hope-to-have" conversations as well, though they seem to end in the same way most of the time:
"Did you know I talk to myself? In fact, I'm doing it right now!"

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

All the time. Talking and singing to myself is pretty much the only way I've been able to keep myself relatively sane doing warehouse work this summer. It's got to the point where I'll talk to myself even when people are around. I get some weird looks, but whatever. We all have our ways of staving off boredom, and mine is arguing with myself.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

If left alone for an extended period of time I shall inevitably begin to soliloquise; most often when I've been left alone in the house, but sometimes when others are in a different room, which will result in me becoming immediately silenced and embarrassed should they walk into earshot. >.

 

[dvd_72]

Sometimes when I'm trying to figure something out, though I often just mumble.

 

[Innegativeion]

I find I can think more clearly if I hear my thoughts aloud. I do it to make my thoughts more concrete, not as if I was actually speaking to anyone, or anything. If my house is empty save for me, I'll likely forgo my internal monologue entirely to talk instead, until I run out of breath.

Maybe I just like the sound my own voice.

Maybe it sets a regular pace for my thoughts.

Not entirely sure why, exactly. It's just more comfortable for me.

 

[Braedan]

I usually don't talk to myself. I talk the the air around me. Sometimes just start having conversations with no one. Of course I know I'm not talking to anyone... I'm not crazy... It's maybe just relaxing to have a conversation and be able to control every aspect of it?
Not sure.

Sometimes I say lines in odd accents when playing games. The games never respond though....

 

[neoontime]

Yes, I tend to be conscious of it in front of people, but I do it anyway when I deep think.

 

[Fijiman]

It's mostly in my head, but i regularly talk to myself. Even in public.

 

[Shaved Apple]

Sometimes. If I get mad at a game or something.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

Very surprised by the poll, I guess most people just don't like to admit it.

I tend to have pretend conversations ahead of a real conversation I think I'll have later so I can better communicate. That's sounds pretty silly thinking about it.

 

[ThePenguinKnight]

I vocalize nearly every thought in my head. It's gotten me into a lot of trouble but I regret none of it.

 

[StormShaun]

A lot...and sometime in public. It calms me down and I can asses any situation when I talk to myself.

It is very interesting to do so. ^_^

 

[viranimus]

I have not slept since monday, so at the moment, Yes, I am most certainly talking to myself, and I am almost approaching my old 120 WPM typing speed tonight I havent seen since before I was shot. WHEEEEEEE!

 

[Quaidis]

I talk to myself all the freaking time. My voice is like sweet nectar to the air. And who gives a damn to anyone who thinks differently? That's right, no one.

 

[Sora383]

I full on talk to myself even when people are around its a habit I got into when I was really young. Plus the looks on peoples faces when I do it make me laugh.

 

[SlaveNumber23]

Spoiler: Exactly like this...

Seriously though, not very often, I'm quite a silent person even when I'm alone.

 

[Final First]

I picked other because I both swear at objects that piss me off or players that are pissing me off. I also talk to myself in my head regularly, but not aloud. I also imagine talking to other people in my head (God I must be lonely). Usually when I'm talking to myself in my head, I'm shouting at myself for no particular reason and even respond...

 

[bulbasaur765]

Yes, all the time. My friends and family tell me to stop, but it helps keep my thoughts in order.

 

[Something Amyss]

My most frequent use is when I stub my toe or otherwise hurt myself, or when something falls. But I do it regularly enough otherwise I voted for "regularly" when people aren't around. I occasionally say something to myself when people are around, but mostly when I'm trying to figure out something complex.
