I'm too shy to talk out loud to myself.
Yup, mostly in my head though. Although I always talk out loud to myself when I'm driving and get lost...or yelling at people for being lame drivers.
i do this constantly and out loud, as long as i'm positive no one else is around. i'll start as soon as i'm left alone, and listen to be sure the person's car is out of the driveway, and start carrying on conversations. full-on intense debates sometimes. on topics ranging from "should i wear the blue shirt?" to astrophysics and the origins of the universe, from health care reform to "hey, let's sing a song!".
usually i do it when getting ready to go somewhere. it often starts when i lose something, like "where the hell did you put your keys?" "how should i know? i put them in the same place everytime and someone always moves them" "well maybe if you..." etcetera.
i totally get passive-aggressive road rage. if someone cuts me off i make a really obvious hand gesture that says "why of course, by all means, please go right ahead. how wrong of me to drive in one of the four lanes you so obviously own by birthright..." and pretty much say the same aloud.
I have a whole artinerary of awesome jokes that i've made up in my head during my awesome pretend conversations
Whenever I get a chance to use them I'm like like "YESSSS." (inside my head, of course)
I actually imagine myself talking to someone that I know and have a conversation with them about the subject. I usually end up talking about really deep subjects. And this is done at at most a whisper level while I'm in my room. I'm afraid of people looking at me weirdly.![]()
The conversations are usually between me and me impersonating someone I would trust and respect by thinking about how they would respond and react if in real life.
I call it think out load, I do it when I very stressed and there is no one to talk to....but me.
I don't really talk to myself, I just make exclamations out loud... sometimes I feel really weird after what I've said depending on the situation, but normally it's just about my forgetfulness or something stupid I've done at home.
