    Talking to yourself

    I have a tendency to make comments out loud even if no one's within earshot - especially at work and especially if no one's in earshot. I even do it at home when I'm doing housework. Just my kitties and me. If people are around, I'm a bit more aware about what I let slip out. No, it's not Turrets.

    I have a tendency to play out entire conversations in my head be it past or future. Heck, even present when I have enough time to think while others are talking. Sometimes, while I'm conversing in my head, I'll catch myself audibly saying the last few words, my response to a ficticious question or even laughing out loud in response to a scenario, either real or imagined.

    My question to other INFJ's:
    Am I the only one who does this??

    I get really self conscious when I realize I'm reacting to myself. I'm sure my roommate (ISTJ) thinks I'm slightly crazy anyway.

    I speak to myself in foreign languages.

    Lmfao, I do that, too. Especially in the shower, where I can just rearrange my thoughts and sort of loop it over and over again in my monologue, sometimes actually mouthing the words as I go.

    And then I feel stupid because I'm literally talking to a wall.

    At least the wall understands.

    Hopefully my sinkful of dishes and my clean laundry understand too!

    PRECISELY! I absolutely do this. I often notice that when I'm replaying past conversations, I'll verbally express my disapproval for the way I handled it; "Oh, you dumb cunt!" I must appear certifiable.

    Yeah, I do. I'm afraid I might even more than I realize. I think I sometimes say my thoughts out loud without even realizing it because people have commented back before and I would be like did I just say that? It worries me a bit because sometimes I don't know what I might have said out loud and I don't want my thoughts just randomly coming out and open like that.

    I don't speak out loud but something similar happens to me.
    Usually, I find myself rather in a position of listening, as I would be somewhere outside myself speaking by myself or with others and all I do is just listen and pay attention to what I/he says.

    Yesterday morning, while still at home, I was talking to myself and thought about asking this of other INFJ's. How interesting that you would ask this. Thank you.
