Who here /talkstothemselves/?

yeah when I get slightly stressed out I can hold entire meetings by myself about the stuff I'm doing/have to do. it's kind of harmless I think. why do you hate yourself for it ?

>>35362740
when I'm in a good mood I talk to myself as I do things sometimes in third person, when I get mad I call myself shit.

Because I see it as a sort of substitute to actual conversation. I have something, an idea, an interest, and I'd love to talk about it with another human being, but no one is available. So I talk to myself, get wound up, then realize that I've wasted a bunch of time and that I'm still alone. I feel the whole exercise is absolutely pointless, and yet I keep doing it.

>>35362865
hmm, I see. is it something creative ? if you've got ideas overflowing it might be time to get people together and work towards something.

>>35362740
Try doing it with your mouth closed

>>35362740
Yeah, all the time. It probably sounds stupid or crazy, but I made a friend who I talk to.

I say stupid shit out loud to distract myself from remembering a cringe inducing song that I used to bump

>>35362740
I do it all the time, although mostly in my mind to avoid disturbing normies. Is it really that rare?

I run around the house and kill imaginary enemies with super powers. I get really into it. Imagine a grown man running around the house swinging his arms punching the air but in his head he's saving or blowing up planets with a move of a arm.

Kekeke I pretend I'm shooting them and pretend I'm in a FPS game. I'll go far as making pain moans and aim down the sights

>>35362740
I do it regularly. I don't talk much to other people, so it is a substitute. Still, I get less bored talking to myself than I get talking to others.

I do this all the time its hard to break the habit of speaking to yourself.

I think its mostly because none of my friends like the same music or are a complete sperg for tcg's.

who can hold a better conversation about stuff i like than myself anyway.

>>35362740
I regularly pretend I'm in situations I'll never get into, like
>talking with gf
>working in a job
>visiting another country
>having a friendly conversation at the supermarket
>talking my only friend out of depression
I spend hours every day imagining what it would be like
then I just browse the internet the rest of the day

I talk to myself all the time. It's a blessing not a curse OP. The conversations I have with myself and the others in my head are WAAAAY more interesting, insightful, and fun than /smalltalk/ with Chad McChad and his Stacy Squad.

If it makes you happy, and you have enough a grip on reality to know it isn't real....

Enjoy it!

Same

Somehow makes me less sad

>>35362740
Yeah I do that about everything. I usually explain things to myself as if I had to explain it to someone who didn't know about it. When I actually have to do it irl i choke though.

>>35362740
i talk to my imaginary friends and call them tulpas

To be fair I do have pretty deep and interesting conversations with myself. The only problem is that they're one-sided, which makes it just a tad less dynamic.

>>35362740

I have long drawn out discussions with multiple imaginary people, conversations that continue over several days or weeks.

I create complete backgrounds for my discussion partners and base their opinions on their life decisions.

I use different voices for each new person.

I also plan/prepare answers, comments, topical discussion for different real world events that I might encounter, do I am able to respond quickly and casually.

If I am going to the supermarket, I plan conversations with stockers, other shoppers, the checkout clerk, the bus driver for the ride home, other travelers, even the odd random person or law enforcement individual I might meet while walking to and from the bus stop.

I like to be prepared for any likely conversation scenario.

As you might suspect I am on medication and do not work, I have a service aid that stops by twice a day and unfortunately I am not allowed, for the present, to have a service dog or a driver's license.

I get so involved with my planning scenarios that I am sometimes unsure if I have had as many real life conversations as I think I have.

I told my home service aid today that I am not entirely sure that he is real.

He made me an appointment to see my psychiatrist on Thursday, got a lot of planning to do, not sure if she is a living person or not, but I do like her appreciation of Plato's Tripartite Theory of Soul, we do have differences as to Apetetuveness.

>always have conversations with myself
>insult myself a lot
>refer to myself with female pronouns and with a female name because I'll never be a girl and it's the closes I'll ever get ;_;

>>35366053
Not quite this level of uhh... Eccentric, but there have been numerous times where I've had imaginary conversations with people and later not been entirely sure if a conversation I've had with a person actually happened or not.

>>35362740

I do, but mostly when I'm mad or stressed.

when i'm alone i unconsciously blurt out stuff like "i wish i was dead," "i want to kill myself," etc. even when i try not to, i just do. sometimes i almost do it in public and quickly catch myself to stop.

>>35362740
Stress makes me do it. This is horrible because my entire team sits around me....

>>35362740
I do this all the time, compulsively. I slur words, whistle my S's, mess up certain consonants, and can't control my pitch very well, so it makes me want to rip my hair out because I have a very autistic way of speaking.

>been doing it more and more lately
>short little outbursts of my observations
>"hey, i think we've been down this street before." "oh yes we have."
>"i want pizza." "there's a pizza place right over there." "nah, too many young kids"

>>35362740
I have longass conversations and discussions with myself all of the time, I think it is a way to cope with the loneliness and lack of social contact. Afterall, if it wasn't for this I would go weeks without talking at all.

I have been doing this since I was a child, and my parents have seen me do it, which is pretty embarassing.

that's an early symptom of schizophrenia :)

Your mom's an early example of schizophrenia.
