Talking to yourself is a fairly common and often beneficial habit, although usually only when it relates to solving problems.

I've been told I always know just the right thing to say in most situations, and I feel like part of that is because I have internal conversations with myself all the time.

Psychologyfaggot here.

Funny thing everyone should try sometime. Verbally ask yourself questions and verbally answer to them ask fast as you can.

Formulate an interesting question without thinking about an answer and then speak it out and rapidly answer without giving yourself the time to really think about it.

This is a technique to talk to your subconscience and the answers you can get can be quite mindboggling, literally.

There is a light form of schizophrenia called schizotypal personality disorder, it's very mild and the major difference is how much you believe in your delusions.

It will get worse with time 100%.

The funny thing is that you won't consider yourself to be ill at all.
You will create your own logic to justify things you would do.

it's called self trial, it's commonly used among people who look to debate others without the intent to entertain the argument of the other person and quickly shut them down, they argue to themselves in their own head to look for flaws in their arguments and how they can fix it, just so they can be ready to spew out their memorized argument.
this is why a lot of sjws freeze up when their argument they have memorized isn't good enough, they have nothing else because that's all they know, and they try to pick up the pieces and say whatever first come to mind and they end up looking like a fool, and then hours later they kick themselves over and over when they think they've thought of another good and worthy rebuttal, and they begin the memorization process once more, in a never ending loop.
Milo Yiannopoulos does this a lot as well, it's the reason he talks so fast when arguing sjws and why he froze up when Joe Rogan put him in a corner about religion, he's memorized almost every possible outcome of sjw thinking.

How do you thunk you could improve your lot in life i fuess if i try hard and be a little bolder opportunity might open up to me but to be honest we are all a bunch of jackasses who dont pen up to each other anymore i mean who bonds with others these days who has the time to actually sit and think about how they feeo anymore may as well just keep on being seofish and doing your own thing because nobody ever trupy wants to risk getting hurt internally we are all alone. we just react to it in different ways imjust a loner

I sometimes imagine a younger version of myself is watching me play games. If it's a newer game they're amazed by how far we've come and in my head I explain the evolution of various mechanics genres etc.

If I'm playing an older game that my younger self would have known, I like to blast through it, playing as perfectly as possible, collecting all the secrets he didn't even know existed etc. and imagine my younger self being impressed.

Sometimes I go to the kitchen in the middle of the night to get a drink then spend the next thirty minutes walking in circles there explaining something in great detail to a vague imaginary person, then my mom walks in and looks at me like I'm fucking retarded.

For some reason it seems like I think better when I'm walking around aimlessly or taking a shower, I even used to have a tendency to just stand up and start walking out of my room whenever I get autistically fixated on thinking about something.

The walking thing is pretty normal, sometimes the "reasoning" part of your brain works better if the "automatic actions" part is busy.

As regards people walking into you while talking to yourself I recommend always having your cellphone in hand if there is any risk of that happening. You can always prettend you were on the phone with someone or sending an audio. Even if they don't believe you it'll be less awkward than acknowledging your autism.

I often find myself elaborating conversations with my crush, in which I finally tell my feelings towards her.

>>382227075
canned phrase. in this case, you are thinking in phrases, not in thoughts.
"I want to die" is a very common phrase for expressing dissatisfaction, or general unpleasant moods, and can be used ironically as a vulgar, shocking-value joke, and is not always phenotypical of suicidal thoughts. you think "what is thing want to do, funny thing want to do=die, ergo thing want to do=die"
i believe that this is why certain stroke vicims are perfectly capable of saying "have a good day" or "nice to meet you", but are incapable of constructing actual sentences fluently.

>>382235783
Not a psychfag but I can vouch for the stroke victim thing. I used to be a nurse for people with MS or stroke related conditions and it was crazy how they'd speak in phrases. You could have a conversation with one of them, then find out later they're not copus mentum and you were talking to a vegetable. Even when the human brain is just going through the motions it can still auto-pilot basic speech without the person talking understanding what's coming out of their mouth.

It was usually a lot of paraphrasing and use of the same few phrases but it was really creepy.

Because you can practice how to develop an argument with yourself all you want, but that doesn't count towards social skills.

You SHOULD have an easier time elaborating ideas with others if you already went throught them in your mind beforehand. You're just such a sperg that even with this advantage you cannot feel confident enough to put up a decent speech in front of other people.

Whenever I watch someone else play a game I imagine myself doing the input for what I see on the screen, but not visually or for a whole body with sitting in the chair and all, just what the keys they're pressing. It don't do it if I don't know the layout for the game and I can't come up with one that makes sense myself and it doesn't bother me in these situations, but I just feel my thoughts drifting to the action.
I don't feel distracted by this either, I simultaneously think of what buttons they/I would press and understand what's on screen, but I just can't really stop myself and don't care to do so.

I sometime like to imagine myself arguing with casuals and explaining to them the many tiers of gamers, and how they are on the lowest of tiers. I also find myself arguing about subjects I'll see on /v/ with myself, such as diversity in gaming being good or bad.

Other times I imagine myself being interviewed and explaining shit that got me to where I am, for whatever I'm being interviewed for. Usually video game related things.

Sometimes I imagine myself at E3 on stage, for either Microsoft or Nintendo and showing off a line up of games that would basically help them win E3 and in doing so, acting very cocky on stage.

When I am alone, I'll do a lot of weird things. Act out games I'd like to create with music from other games/anime. Imagine myself in vidya scenarios and such.

I'm sure under any psychological evaluation it would be seen as being insane but I just do this shit when I'm bored. I live with others and talk to them on a daily basis, as well as people online and my family

Sometimes I guess but usually not vidya related but other more complex things like how something works or a full detailed analysis of some event or situation ongoing or in the past, and I can't stop myself from doing it it kind of automatically happens.

I think this is partially because I don't think in words and verbally with an inner monologue in my head all the time, so in order to get a deeper understanding or refine my understanding of something my brain generates these imaginary conversations with people as an outlet for doing so, but its not like they're necessary 90% of the time so when I catch myself doing it I just stop it midway or so.

Anyone else feel like thats the case for them? I came to this conclusion after a lot of research and reading about meta-cognition, verbal vs. non-verbal thinking and realizing that my thinking is mostly non-verbal so why do I have these verbal conversations in my head with imaginary people etc, and it led me to that conclusion - but again its not needed 90% of the time, I'm NEET, I don't need to discuss things with people, and I get most of my refining of ideas and concepts down when writing on 4chan on various boards like now.

No that's normal hypnagogic hallucinations before sleep and sometimes right upon waking. I could play vidya all day and when drifting off the sleep keep hearing the voices, sounds, music and even imagery of the game for some time, thats also the tetris effect in action.

That's not sleep paralysis, which can come with auditory hallucinations but not always.

>>382221321

>>
>>382236342

Sometimes I imagine myself going to some other world, sort of like a generic anime setting where the main average protag goes to a magical world where he has to save the day and such, and in doing so I meet tons of different people and in some cases species.

I honestly wonder how the fuck I'd explain this place to them, or the daily life I'd lead. If someone from that world asks me how I spent my days, it would be impossible to explain and for them to understand.

"Well, I go on this magic machine that lets me access moving pictures, moving pictures I can control and hundreds of people around the world can control."

Its just tetris effect, overloading your brain with a specific and often repetitive series of images and sounds for several hours a day, and then those stay and replay in your mind over and over when you are in a sleep state, I think is the gist of it.

The other time I had it I remember playing a lot of BF2, and flying the jets messing around in camera mode, so I would fly the jet at the camera position all the time so it changes view angle and then fly the jet straight at the view angle again so it constantly changes, because I was bored.

Then when I was falling asleep my mind would replay these exact scenes complete with the noises of the jet, and I would flinch a little feeling like the jet is almost coming towards me ahahah, fucking hypnagogia is crazy shit

I suck at explaining things but I try my best to practice in my head. Video games are good with that because a lot of people know nothing about them so you have to start with an almost alien perspective.

Yeah intrusive, nonsensical, irrational, thoughts that show up out of nowhere, cause serious distress and anxiety, cause you to act out mental or physical compulsions to relieve the negative emotions the thoughts bring up, checking with yourself mentally that you are alright and wouldn't do those things or acting out a physical compulsion in order to assuage the negative emotions, that's all OCD

I hate how meme OCD like "these tiles are out of order" or "I like arranging things in certain patterns" has taken over popular understanding of OCD, real OCD is something I wouldn't want to wish on anyone, its a total mental hell if you don't understand what it is and take steps to address, diminish and fight it.

You'd prolly like it more if it was a plain no talking one instead of the weeb ASMR.

No, it's just autism combined with loneliness. It's completely benign, just a little weird to normal people.

Yeah that's exactly it. Turning the lock is muscle memory so I don't think about it while I'm doing it. I've been combating this by forcing myself to pay attention when I lock the door
>>
>>382224602
This doesn't work for me I don't think verbally and I can't force words to come out of my mouth without thinking them over at least a little bit, and combined with my OCD what comes out will just be twisted and non-genuine probably

I've been sniffing my finger to smell the copper of the door lock that way I can reassure myself yes I did just check the locks and don't need to re-check "just to be sure".

And its funny, because if the door did randomly happen to be unlocked which is almost never, it would be a significant thing and my brain would remember it and I wouldn't need to re-check it afterwards seconds later, so when I don't have any memory of that just happening I can assume it was because the door was locked and thats that but for OCD that explanation isn't good enough and the mere possibility I'm wrong will gnaw at me until I begrudgingly get up to check the lock so I can fall asleep.

Thats why I started sniffing my fingers now when the thought comes up, I smell the copper and I can deduce that I had just touched the lock and it was closed - no need to get up and confirm to be sure, as theres nothing else copper in the house I could have touched instead, so that covers all the bases and silences the OCD for once.

>Psychfags factcheck me, i'm just an autistic neet
not a psychfag, just a nurse. We are trained that every expression of a desire for suicide, self-harm or desire to stop living should be adressed seriously, reported and treated. This is probably more of a "just in case" thing, but since people's lives could be at stake we should respond to every hint of suicidal behaviours. Since english isn't my native language, those phrases could be considered more canned than in my native language. Anyway, you should talk to someone about it.

Everybody understands food which is what makes it good for analogies. Here's something else if it makes you feel better.

White women are like BMWs and black women are like Kias. You'd obviously prefer to have a BMW over a Kia but for the same money you can get a Kia in much nicer condition than a BMW. Similarly an attractive black woman isn't going to have the outrageously high standards of an attractive white woman, but like cars both are a considerable investment.

then that means telling people how history happened is useless because for their timeline it will be different

but seeing as how its a fantasy and time travel is also a fantasy these banal restrictions and such are unnecessary

You don't have to believe the voices are real to be schizophrenic. You can have the voices and know what they are.

That takes time. Voices are just a symptom of the dissease, in most cases people know that they aren't real. If the disease is not treated for a long time you get to the point yousee in movies where the person starts to actually believe that the voices are real. When treated properly it can be managed like many other diseases, you could work, have a family and nobody would even know about your condition
