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.
Poll: So, do you talk to yourself ?

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

Yes, all the time actually, I tend to make some good points, anyway, seriously I do my guess is that because I have nobody to talk to I just speak to myself, sadly most people just think I'm crazy, and well there was that time that I spent 2 hours talking to a tray filled with bacon, I don't remember why I did it or why what we were talking about but the people who were there still bring it up every time I see them.
But anyway, yes I often do and in public, I couldn't care less what people think of me, but when I'm thinking about something I have to bounce ideas, so I normally assume 2 different stances on a topic and walk around arguing stances with myself, at least enough people have seen me that if I were to commit a crime I'd have enough witnesses that would say I'm insane, so that's a plus, though to be fair everybody has always said I'm crazy, I don't know why I seem pretty sane to me but I guess people like to exaggerate stuff.

Regularly, although less so when other people are around, although that's mostly because then I can talk to them. That and they start asking me questions when I'm mumbling to myself. Mostly I'm just putting my thoughts in order, not because I'm slowly going nuts.
Used to be a 'always whenever alone/sometimes with people' person, then I lived on my own and turned into a 'always even with people' person. It's all good though, my housemates knew I wasn't quite on the same sanity level as them to begin with, so no questions are asked.
I've discovered I have an easier time remembering things that I've explained to someone else.
Just trying to phrase it in a coherent manner helps, even if the person I'm talking to doesn't ask questions, or care, or exist in any tangible fashion.
So, uh. Fairly frequently.

all the god damn time. by myself, in front of people. When I'm angry or if I'm trying to work through a problem ("no that won't work, unless... no I'll have to...").
Confuses the fuck out of other people and I often have to explain that I'm talking to myself.
