Why do people talk to themselves?

Question

I know someone that constantly will talk to herself. Is she phyco or something?

Answer 1

Because some days it is the most intelligent conversation I get to engage in. :)

Answer 2

Sixpack,

I don´t know about your acquaintance,
but if when you talk to/with people and
you know they are not listening, why
not talk to yourself.

As well, when you're in your car alone,
don't you talk to the radio?

Or back at the TV?

Or,

Or,

I think a good conversation with
oneself is a good thing. Just make
certain you don't end up not talking
to each other -- what a mess that
would be.

Ego vs Ego?

Happy talking!

Answer 3

Nothing "psycho" about it. I talk to myself, usually when I'm by myself and in want of some company but don't have any. Many people have different reasons for talking to themselves.

As for "psycho" in quotation marks.... that's an unkind term, psycho. People who are mentally ill are just that, ill. They need a Dr's care. Psychiatric illnesses are legitimate physical illnesses, as legit as diabetes or glaucoma. They need medication, just like the diabetic needs insulin and the glaucoma patient needs eye drops.

My mom talks to herself. I think it's funny.

There's a guy (looks very unkept up) who walks up and down this busy street where I live and holds a conversation with an invisible person next to him. He argues at this invisible person. I don't think that's funny, it's just plain creepy. I mean, what if he sees dead people? (And I'm not being facetious).

Answer 5

basically its not talking to oneself.. its just a pep talk which every person in this earth does to him/herself.. so its natural.. pep talk is the best thing to do..
lets say ur name is bob.. if u get bored, need some answers from urself, want to listen to ur heart, etc.. u ask bob for that.. this means indirectly that u ask urself.. so.. thatsnatural.. its nothing to be psycho..though people talking too much with exposure of gestures, etc is not a gud thing.. caz people watching him/her would consider him/her to be a psycho.. ! ! !..have fun..

Answer 6

you know, there's a study that when you study and say outloud what you're studying, you're brain is more active and by far; this helps you learn faster....
i think that people talk to themselves so as to acknowledge what they have said on a deeper and unconscious level. Also, if what you say doesn't make sense, then it'll make it easy to self correct. That and that when you talk to yourself, it makes it less lonely.
