Does anyone else talk to themselves? I find myself speaking my mind as if I'm talking to an audience and trying to sell my point to them. I'll create elaborate conversations in my head and talk to nobody. It feels good when I do it though, like I have someone to talk to about whatever is on my mind. I've been doing this since I was little. Of course I know it looks weird in public, so nobody knows I do it.
It's exceptionally bad when I play video games. I'll pretend I'm making a Youtube video and I'll explain what I'm doing to nobody and roleplay in the game as if I'm that character.

All the time. I think its normal. Although sometimes the other part of me i converse with replies without me thinking so i think im fucking myself up. Is not easy being lonely. Also the extra me i talk to usually encourages me (i encourage myself) or mocks me when i do stupid shit. He (i am) is a cool guy.
When I'm playing games I'll pretend I'm streaming, even responding to fake chat questions.
I feel your pain, anon.
Same, I think we all do it. First time I've seen someone bring it up though

I do that too, mostly when I'm lost in thoughts/I'm daydreaming I spurt out aloud the conversations that I'm having in my mindt, or just words other people said, still while reminiscencing. Sometimes I just talk aloud commeting what I'm doing at the time, to be more focused on task when I spot out that my mind starts wandering.
Strangely coffee amplifies this tendency.
Considering most people only do this while alone, and I'm alone 89% of the day, I'm always trapped in conversation with myself. It's super comfy, though, to just hear somebody reply to you even if it's just yourself. Some days I'll end up arguing about something like religion or politics with myself and take either side, and never actually win the argument on either side. Also, every once in a while, I end up doing it in public and getting weird looks, but that's mostly just me mumbling to myself about stuff that I see.
