Is talking to yourself wrong?

[KelpieSelkie]

I hate when I'm sitting next to someone, like in class or something and I can hear them muttering to themselves. There's nothing wrong with it, because it's a way to work things out easier in your head - but I would rather someone do that where I can't hear them.

 

[Ligoskj]

Never.

If so, then in your case that's perfectly fine. Sometimes that's even the right thing to express your thoughts with your voice rather than your mind (when you are, of course, alone in a room or apartment)

 

[Easterling]

I don't often talk to myself audibly, I have an inner monolgue, you know the voice in your head and that helps me organise my thoughts like my plan for the day, that sort of stuff.

 

[BScCollateral]

Like almost every human behavior you can name, it's only a problem if you can't stop doing it.

 

[Twitter Hate Mob]

Voice actors do it all the time and they're beacons of sanity.



Oh.

 

[Jack O'Neill]

Why are you asking this? Or course not! It's just how your brain organises it's thoughts. Also, you need to go out more. Meet people, fuck hookers, niggers n' shit.

I knew a guy who would talk to himself in squeaky cartoon voices. He'd stay in the bathroom for like a halfhour talking to himself.

That sounds both dangerous and hilarious at the same time.

I say all kinds of insane shit to myself but I’m never wrong about any of it.

There are few things more unsettling than having to use the bathroom at a public place (already terrible) and then having a morbidly obese, sweaty maintenance employee come in to clean it and having to listen to him mutter to himself and breathe heavily while you're trying desperately to pinch off a log in case he decides to go postal.

I find vocalizing my plans and stuff as I am writing it down or thinking about something a bit more complex (Or ideas, logic, calculations) when I am not around other people gives me reassurance that my plans/ideas are not completely exceptional or my calculations are not off

I hear you, I know this guy (I think I talked about him before) who kept talking to himself, even claiming himself to be Freddy Krueger and sometimes sounding like he was on helium.

On a more personal level? I do it, I'll admit it, though I always find it to be situational.

Brevity is the soul of wit

My favorite Shakespeare quote


I'm funny to talk to and a good listener. Myself and I get along very well

 

[Guts Gets Some]

If it's wrong, I don't want to be right. I need confirmation from someone. Vocalizing it really helps me actualize it more than thinking, which at times can just be a jumbled mess.

 

[Cool kitties club]

I mostly just mouth my own inner thoughts and occasionally mutter parts of it unintentionally

 

[WarJams]

I do it pretty frequently, so it's probably wrong.

 

[saralovesjuicyfruit]

I do it only if I'm by myself. It helps me affirm my thoughts and flesh things out.

 

[DocHoliday1977]

Fuck no.

How else am I going to deal with my anger and not beat the shit out of assholes?

 

[The best and greatest]

Is it normal to argue with yourself?

 

[break these cuffs]

Fuck no.

How else am I going to deal with my anger and not beat the shit out of assholes?

Take your pills.
