Poll: So, do you talk to yourself ?

[Mcupobob]

Oh cool glad I'm not the only crazy person around!

Yes, talk to myself all the time.

 

[King of Asgaard]

Well, sometimes I'm the only intelligent conversation I can get, so yeah.

 

[uhddh]

I talk to myself to the extent where it's probably unhealthy. Even when people are around I'll probably descend into a conversation with myself about 40% of the time.

 

[ATRAYA]

I talk to myself as often as I can, because I tend to learn things, strangely enough. Even some things that I never would have thought of on my own.

...

Why am I only NOW realizing how insane that sounds?

 

[Alcamonic]

Yes. It helps process information, focus and do tasks more easily.

 

[Kae]

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.

 

[Grimh]

No, I only talk to the voices in my head.

They tell me to burn things.

 

[Evil Smurf]

All the time, but I do it loudly when drunk.

 

[Guffe]

Yep.
But not in the "holding a conversation with myself" way but if I am thinking something I usually say what I am thinking because that makes it so much clearer to me.

 

[Bravo 21]

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.

 

[Random berk]

No, never. If Jim here would ever shut up for five minutes at a time, then I might.

 

[purplecactus]

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.

 

[Uncreative]

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.

 

[LongAndShort]

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.

 

[Deadyawn]

Yes, often. It's the only way I can be sure of an intelligent conversation.

Also yes, I mercilessly ripped that off, shut ya face.

 

[Starik20X6]

I've learned things from the conversations I've had with my own brain. Sometimes it's only by talking aloud to myself that I've managed to piece together two completely separate thoughts into a new idea or realisation.

 

[SirPlindington]

Phrasing my thoughts as a conversation helps me think, so yes. And I'm not ashamed of it either.

 

[wolf thing]

now and again, but im a bit of a dick so i ofter ignore my self or even get into arguments

 

[Queen Michael]

No, never, but people think I do since for some reason they can't see Anton.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Yeah, I do that all the time.
