What's WRONG with TALKING 2 YOURSELF?

Question

I don't do it often, but sometimes i have a little talk with myself to plan things out and to complain about life when it gets u down. I know i should really confide in someone close,but sometimes i just can't tell anyone but need to get it off my chest, so i talk 2 myself

Answer 1

Nothing - i do it all the time - most people i know well talk to themselves - don't worry about it

Answer 2

There's nothing wrong with that, I do it all the time. Mostly when having to remind myself to do things. When I'm home alone I will start one task, which leads to two more that turns into ten. LOL. Half way through if I don't constantly tell myself where and what to do next, I'll forget in a heartbeat. LOL. If it bothers you though, you can always try keeping a journal (like www.livejournal.com), helps to vent and you don't have to sit around talking to yourself. Sometimes writing it down is enough to get it out of mind.

Answer 3

In life, the only person you can truly trust is yourself. When we talk out loud to ourselves, it is a means to come to a solution to a problem that is in imminent need of solving. If we thought someone else could help, we would talk to them, but this time we need to sort this out alone. At the end of the day, we always do what we think is best, regardless of the advice of others. So talking to ourselves is healthy. Of course there are folk that take things tooo faaar!!

Answer 4

I don't think there is a problem. I used to do it all the time until my friends found out and thought that I am weird. After that, I try to try talking to myself silently, that way, nobody knows and you can get your things sorted out. If you have a tendency to voice it out, then try talking to yourself only when you are alone. I don't think it's a problem unless you hear voices at the back of your head and that's when you should consult a psychologist.

Answer 5

Put it this way at least you can't get into an argument with yourself. Can u? I do it when I am stressed, where I live the parking is a nightmare and If my other half isn't here I really spit my dummy out and pace around the flat cursing. So no u r not alone chick!

Answer 6

Because it is not humanly normal. Because humans are very social creatures they must talk to someone and the fact the brain thinks its ok to comunicate with ones self provides a steady thought that you may be stressing or lonly. Talking to ones self is only the beginning of insanity.

Answer 7

Most people talk to themselves at some point in the day, i think your telling yourself what you have to do so you dont forget it. I really wouldnt worry about it. No one is gonna come in white coats and take you to a padded cell.

Answer 8

in case you provide me a pair pictures of tequilla i'd say you pickled a radish. How interesting my first question and its all about me!!! me,myself and that i all agree that yours is the perfect question on right here tonight!! Woo hooo, good interest! Wanna understand a few thing else about me, ask away!

Answer 9

I do the same thing to. There's nothin wrong with talking to yourself, its completely natural for some people.
Some people ask themselves questions and answer them and have an arguement with themselves, so you shouldn't feel different.

Answer 10

I suggest you buy a stuffed parrot.
This way you can talk to yourself till the cows come home and, when caught, just claim you were keeping Polly updated.

Answer 11

I do it, too. Sometimes I'm the only one around and if my mind is too "loud" and I"ve got to sort through things, I talk to myself so I get to hear my thoughts and get mentally organized. It's alllll good! lol
