Do you talk to yourself inside your head?

Question

I am always "talking" to myself inside my head, never out loud though.

I ask myself things, think about them, answer them... have an inner dialogue. Not things like, "Hey how are you today?" "Im fine", but things like... "So if I decide to go to the gym today, will I make it back intime for dinner?" etc...

Do you do it too?

Additional facts: I am more of a solitary person, not many friends and I don't talk much to other people... =P But I'm not crazy ^^

Answer 1

I used to talk to myself but we had an argument and now we are not speaking

Answer 2

NO MAN THAT'S NORMAL, EVERYBODY DOES THAT BUT NOT MANY ARE THERE TO ADMITTED. IN FACT THAT'S PART OF LIFE THAT'S HOW YOU GET THINGS DONE, AND IF YOU GET THEM WRONG YOU START ASKING YOURSELF "WHY?" THEN YOU GIVE YOURSELF ANSWERS, ADVICES,HINTS WHATEVER
IT'S LIKE, WHEN U WHERE ARGUING WHIT SOMEONE THAT ALMOST GOT IN A FIGHT WITH,EVERYTHING STOPS AT A NOWHERE, DIDN'T GET ANY AGREEMENT THAT PERSON GOES AWAY AND YOU TOO.
AND THEN YOU START THINKING:
MAN I SHOULD'VE TOLD HIM THIS, AND THAT AND IF HE WOULD'VE TOLD ME THIS OR THAT I WOULD'VE COME UP WITH THIS AND LET HIM KNOW THAT..... AND SO GOES ON & ON. BELIVE ME, THE OTHER PERSON THAT YOU ARGUIED WITH IS THINKING THE SAME EXACT THINGS.
YOUR WERE IN THE BACKYARD, AND YOU NEEDED SOMETHING THAT WAS IN YOUR ROOM (wich it's upstairs)AS SONN AS YOU GOT THERE YOU FORGOT WHAT YOU WENT FOR, WHAT DO YOU DO? = YOU ASK YOURSELF, YOU START TALKING TO YOURSELF IN ORDER TO FINDOUT THE PURPOUSE, REAZON OR SO
DONT WORRY, MOST PEOPLE DO THAT.
AND I DONT THINK THAT YOU ARE A SOLITARY PERSON BECAUSE OF THIS, IT'S MORE OF YOUR SHYNESS OTHERWISE YOU WOULDN'T BE ASKING PEOPLE THAT YOU DONT EVEN KNOW( I'm not saying it's wrong but think of the fact that stop you talk to people face to face and the fact that aims you chat to people pc to pc. amazing how the mind works hu?)

Answer 3

Yup, I talk to myself all the time, just like that. I also run through scenarios in my head, how things will pan out depending on the actions I take in a given situation. I also get quite cross with myself if I am acting daft and stuff like that.

I am confident that this is what you would consider normal, as opposed to hearing voices or intrusive thoughts.

Answer 4

It's TOTALLY normal! i Do it ALL DAY LONG. with the "Additional Facts" i think that probably ur an introverted person, and it's totally normal! Some people prefer to work alone, others prefer to work in groups. If u think ALL DAY only about one thing (like, how to play soccer better or something like that), beware: u may have developed an obsession. Obsessions can be very destructive... !!!

Answer 5

Oh yes! I talk to myself outloud too. I also talk to the cupboards, the cats, the washer & dryer, and the walls. It works for me.

I'll pretty much say anything to anything or anybody, anytime, anywhere that I feel like it. If anyone doesn't like it, they can go whine to their psychiatrist about it because I couldn't care less.

I am who I am & I love myself. I hope you do too.
No, you're not crazy.
Insane people are not in touch with reality. You are, so you're not a certified whacko.

Answer 6

I think most people have an inner dialogue going on I have talked to myself since I was a teenager I used to think I had had conversations with people but it was a conversation that they hadn't been there for it is just a method of organising your plans and thoughts and is normal

Answer 7

Yes I do talk to myself. Before discussing things with anybody else,I think them over, ask myself what's the best. I think its abnormal to talk out loudly without thinking and reflecting first.
Every normal human being has a voice within that inform our norms before performing any action especially things that will go against our values.
So all normal people talk to themselves silently.

Answer 8

Yes, I talk to myself and I'm not always kind, either. I say things to "Me" that I would never say to anyone else. Call myself names, put myself down for things I've done and said in the past. I'm much harder on myself than I would ever be to a friend.

Answer 9

Yeah i think we all do this. I have conversations with myself in my head. I've even had a few arguments too. I've always won them though. Watch random people in the street - you'll see at least 1 out of 4 people's lips moving as they have their 'head conversations' lol.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Of course! It's called reflection which is a vital part of the human endeavour of reasoning. It's what separates us from beasts of field (unless the poor old beasts of the field reason but can't change their situation). In short, I'm afraid you're perfectly normal.
