Society & Culture Talking To Your Self

[AsianWithAFro]

Who does it?

I unfortunately do it quite a lot. I am still sane though

 

[BarneyBent]

As I was saying to myself the other day, it's a myth that talking to yourself is the first sign of blue teacups.

 

[Football God]

I talk to myself in my head when most days I'm home alone and get quite lonely that's when I come onto bigfooty

 

[JD-Roo]

Talking to yourself isn't a problem....

Even arguing with yourself isn't crazy.......




When I started losing the arguments I began to get worried.........

Depends.... which side were you on? Cos, you know, if the voice tells you not to kill everybody, he's a good guy, he's there to help.

 

[Port85]

I do the Homer Simpson style muttering just to annoy people nearby quite alot...


"can't even mutter in my own house, I tell you kids these days, I blame the parents can't raise kids right etc"

 

[Coolangatta]

I'm talking to myself right now. None of you exist outside of my mind.

 

[Schulzenfest]

I read something the other day of someone saying he occasionally yells 'I know you're listening' at random empty rooms, because if nobody hears it then nobody hears it so there's no loss but if somebody hears it he's freaked out some secret organization. Awesome idea

Solipsism?

Until he finds himself dead for knowing too much...

 

[Mooster7]

I do this. I don't really have conversations per se, but I do often externalize my internal dialogue. I think this is somehow secondary to living alone for several years, because I don't remember doing it much before. Don't get me wrong - I have friends and girlfriends who come by but for the most part I'm by myself. I love it and will never have it any other way. I'm the master of my own domain despite masturbating a lot.

Most of the time it's small things like, "Where are my car keys?" Other times I'll say something funny just to make myself laugh. So maybe this 'disease' is progressing, but I've yet to answer a question, ya know?

One day I was at the grocery store and without realizing it, I said aloud, "Where the **** are the onions?" Then I looked over and an angry woman was glaring at me. She had a small child in tow. Shit!

After that, I started making my shopping lists in German and thinking in German when I'm out. That way if something just spills out my tongue no one will be the wiser. Someday I'm might say something only to piss off some old Hausfrau, but I'm trying. I'm trying real hard, Ringo.

Peace,

Solipsism?

Also known as Pawtucket Patriotism.

That was you!? ****!

You read the Bible, Mooster? You see, there's this passage I got memorised.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!

If you heard it, it meant your ass, but you happen to pull this shit while I'm sitting in front of a computer.

Alright. If you say so.

As long as everyone will concede that Mahi Mahi are tremendously ugly fish, however delicious.

 

[placebo]

Was about to say the same thing.

 

[moistie]

Like Mooster I live on my own and have done so for a fair chunk of the last six years. I talk to myself quite a lot, yell at the television, make stupid jokes and create random songs about what I'm doing at that moment.

Unlike Mooster I don't masturbate too much, just enough.

 

[TheStinger]

The best thing to do is get a dog. This way if you say random things or ask questions of yourself, just add the dog's name or "puppy" on the end of it and you are talking to the dog, not yourself.

I've been doing it for years.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

As long as you free Mahi Mahi.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Guilty. I usually do it when I'm rehearsing an upcoming speech. Which is normally futile as I usually screw it up anyway when the moment arrives

 

[coke_zero]

and create random songs about what I'm doing at that moment.

Sing or rap??

But yeah i do talk to myself when im thinking through what im going to do that day or something like that.

Mostly sing but it's not what you would call Dylan-esque. Still, Dylan didn't release too many songs about making toast or doing the dishes.

 

[Carl Hooper]

I talk to myself all the time.. People think Im abnormal or have 'lost it' when I do it.. I find it perfectly normal? Does it really matter, is it a mental problem or do people just over-react?
