SweetSue Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well my mum always said that talking to yourself was the first sign of madness.But then my mum wouldnt of known wood from the trees Personally I think that everybody talks to themself - either in their head or out loud.Surely talking to yourself is just voiceing your thoughts.take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrmaJean Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 When I talk to myself (and I do this frequently) I do it to process my thoughts and feelings. It helps me to clearly know what I need to do. So I don't think it's any of those things for me. It's simply me voicing an inner thought out loud. I actually do it at work (in public) more than anyplace else...Why didn't they do this last night? I need to do this and that...What else needs to be done? Things of that effect.I'm always accused of "having money in the bank." It's one of those sayings that makes absolutely no sense to me. :confused:Don't you think, Lagrima, that this can be a fairly benign and common occurrence for most everyone?

Leo1954 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Well Lagrima I always talk to myself and I love to answer myself [not out loud]because I then know I'm always right. It's like getting pissed off you talk yourself into knowing it's the other persons fault [who ever pissed you off] !!! Kinda sounds stupid I know but hey can't argue with myself and lose HUH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrmaJean Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Not when you see a nice fellow hurling filthiest of abuse towardssome invisible person . May be he was trying to escape notice buthe couldn't care less .Nor does he notice your stunned curiosity ; He just had to do it .Yes, all situations are different, this is true. Does any of this in some way apply to you, lagrima? I understand and respect if you are uncomfortable with sharing. I'm trying and wanting to understand better.

danni Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Not when you see a nice fellow hurling filthiest of abuse towardssome invisible person . Are we maybe talking about two different things here? In the case quoted above, it sounds like there may be active hallucinations going on when you refer to some invisible person. Talking to yourself, working things out with your own brain is, in my opinion completely different. I think talking to yourself is less likely to be in public as there is self awareness that goes along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sissagwaad Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 This is an intriguing book, title, which caught my eye many long years ago. It is an excellent read and review of realizing the conversation we're having with ourselves, even though we may be oblivious to doing it, in our incessant need to 'make sense,' judgementally, of what's going on, what's it mean to ourselves, and where we fit in........i highly recommend asking for it at ones library.....hugs and love bw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sardonyx Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I talk to myself a lot.. I'm not crazy (almost, not quite lol). I don't think it's really a problem until you start getting into arguments with yourself. At that stage, its Haldol time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
