DO YOU Question Question
I do.
I've read that this common for very shy people.
I talk out loud to myself (when I'm alone and shure no one else can hear.)
Make believe converstions, like I'm talking to a friend.
I'm trying to stop this bad habit.
I think its damaging behavior in the long run.
Then when I'm around people, I say almost nothing.
Thats because I'm too tense? sa kicks in
I'm woundering how I can turn this around?
If I can make up a converstion by myself, then I should be able to make up a nice converstion with other people.

I do exactly this! God i thought i was completely alone. Been feeling a lot of that recently Sad
I can never have a normal conversation, and i find that i analyse everything i say, like *that was stupid*, *why would she care*, *she didn't even listen* so when i go home, i think the conversation through, out loud, and try to think of what i should have said. I find it very difficult to talk to people, i have no friends at the moment, as i moved schools, and no one wants to be my friend because i am boring. I am going to university in September, so yeah, i hope things will be better Confused

I do - not always out loud but sometimes, yes. I often think of how a conversation went and what could have happened during it, or what happened if...?

It's all 'what ifs' with me!

so glad i read your post, maybe i'm not insane, maybe talking to myself is another thing that social anxiety causes. I speak to myself alot and usually do it when i'm feeling anxious about something or upset. Like for example, is someone really pisses me off i will have a conversation with them in my head or out loud when im alone because there is no way i could actually confront them in real life. Or if I have a speech that i have to do for university i will perform it in my head and then out loud and even speak for the other people that are watching it....pretty weird huh! im not ashamed, just wish i could speak to other people and not just myself!!! your not alone xxx


ahh, that sucks man.

Who's not alone?

Yeah, I seem to have a best friend that I talk to, and they answer back. It helps me though, get through alot, it helps me realise that will happen if I do something that I wouldn't do. It makes me feel like I'm not alone, because I have the same problems as me. It's easier to know that I'm not alone, even though I am when I do this.

That's right I also had an experience like that.
I remember this one time distinctly - because the guy was wearin' a white shirt.
And when I snuck up behind him and stabbed him right in the back very hard - lots of blood dripped down my arms. His shirt filled with blood, soakin' it all up like an old sponge or summit'.
It was a really good experience - but the guy himself didn't think so...he died... Laughing .....
