Do you talk to yourself and imagin that you're sombody elses that you're not?

Question

Sometimes I do

Answer 1

Imagining you're someone else you're not is a good way to find out what is really important to you, gifts you weren't aware of before, if you feel ok about yourself or if you feel like you need to be "better" or something quite different from what you truly are deep inside. There is no simple answer to this, but I believe it's healthy to some point because not only of the above, but a good fantasy/imagination life can teach us what we need but aren't getting or even offering if it's an ideal or ability, and it is very good for developing problem-solving skills and creativity. The important thing, though, is to not get lost in that world or use it to deny your own true existence or because you feel that without the "gaming" you are not acceptable to those around you. If acceptance is the issue, then you simply need to lose them and get yourself around people who are like you or accept you period. A lot of us have really bad images and feelings about ourselves and that's because of destructive or confusing parenting and very often because of the cheap, superficial values that our peers, society, and marketing drown us in every day. I love the show "Ugly Betty" because it shows how senseless and stupid superficial values and their effects are. I think Betty is totally hot--the hottest one on the show, because she is in touch with her true self and looks for that in other people. I also think she's very pretty, which is why the name of the show is so amusing.

Everybody talks to themself. Some do it mentally and call it "thinking", some get so involved in that thinking that they get excited and start doing it out loud before they realize what they're doing. Some do it out loud on purpose because they feel like they can concentrate better on their thoughts if they can actually hear what they are thinking to themselves. There is nothing to worry about in regard to this unless you are talking out loud to people or things that are not present around you but are only in your imagination. That is indicative of either mental illness or a brain pathology in which some of the brain wiring is messed up or it is producing too much of certain chemicals it uses to send messages to other parts of itself. That needs to be addressed rather soon, because the individual suffering from that might end up hurting themself by accident or be abused by other people around them who do not understand what they are going through. In those cases, the person is not really talking to themself but believe they are actually carrying on a two-way conversation with something that is not real in a way that we define as "external reality" but is only the result of inappropriate brain cell activity.

Answer 2

No. But sometimes when I am working I visualize myself looking over my shoulder and give input. Seldom, do I talk out loud. Only if it is just me alone for quite a while.

Answer 3

No, but you seem to have a good idea for TV show. Hurry and sell it or create a script.
