i have recently developed a habbit of talking to myself at all times of the day . i dont have conversations with myself . just like what I would usually think I say to myself. like if i've had a good day I would say " this has been a good day" or i dont want to do something I say " that is the last thing I wanna do." you may think its not so bad but I just do it about almost everything all the time , my boss the other day ask me if i had been talking to my self. it was kinda embarrasing

Tell him you talking to your self. So what....singing in the shower has been proven to be done by people with high levels of creativity. I talk to my self all the time..actually i ask my self questions at work. I dont care if people think im nutts. Maybe they will leave me alone so i can get things done.

You seem to be acting out your inner talk. Nothing wrong with inner talk. I assume everyone does it. But usually when we pass the age of six or seven we internalize it so it remains inner and do not express it so the whole world can hear. Of course, I hear songs in my head all the time, and many times I begin to sing them quietly to myself. Sometimes people comment, but I haven't gotten to many bad comments. usually people take it as a sign of happiness. Maybe you could replace talk with a song. It may be a more acceptable habit, but Idon't want to cause problems. Think about it and see if it fits your situation.

It sounds like you are thinking out loud. You are not the only person who does that. I know there are times when I do it on purpose to engage different modes of processing information - through different senses. It helps me remember things, and work other things out, almost like bouncing ideas off a friend or coworker.

I remember reading a study a few months ago that said that people who talked to themselves made better decisions, on average, than people who did not.
so, aside from the fact that there are some things you don't want to say out loud, or in front of just everyone, i don't see a problem.

That seems normal to me, do it all the time but more so when I'm alone. What is the saying, "as long as your not answering yourself your not crazy". I'm sure it is perfectly healthy and probably helps you deal with anxiety. I'm no doctor though, just my personal opinion.

sounds like you might be stressed. I do that when I have too much on my mind that I need to think out loud.
No big deal unless you think you are having a conversation with someone else who isn't there.

Healthy, just watch out people might hear you like your boss or your boyfriend.
Be careful about where you are and think about what you're saying.

Perfectly healthy, and perfectly part of being human, we all do it, we just dont talk about it for fear others will think something is wrong with us, good on you for sharing it.
