I do it all the time, and various people have asked me if I talk to myself. Embarassed

Yeah, I do quite a lot. I'm always having pretend conversations in my head with other people, be they celebrities or just friends or family members. Maybe it's just a way of me practicing my speech and my small talk? Who knows.

I.. oh, lets confess it.. I talk to myself and, what's probably even more weird, I often do it in front of the mirror.

Ah, but so what? It's not destructive for anyone, is it?

Yep.

Occasionally, when no one else is around, I'll record myself talking for 30-45 minutes, as a form of self-therapy. It helps.

sometimes I OCD on talking to myself.. just like you. maybe pretending you are telling someone (friend/person you dated...) "your whole life story" even.... i've realized I enjoy it very much. but it feels like wasted time at times... I have to put a cap on it if it takes up to much time.

when I was younger i started doing it bc when I got upset with someone at school I found myself wishing I could've had more wit & stuck up for myself. so I would vent while alone & upset about what this person did by pretending I was telling them "whatever" or wishing I could have fixed the problem through better communication.

When I'm feeling isolated, I occasionally talk to myself as a way to broadcast my thoughts and break the silence. There's really nothing wrong with it unless you literally believe you're talking to someone, which I don't think anyone here does. My brother caught me once, and I had to make up something that was complete B.S. It's not really a good habit, I try not to do it too much, but it doesn't make us crazy either.
