In reply to Talking to one's self - normal or crazy?, posted by Deneb on June 29, 2010, at 1:58:24
I say normal too.
I talk to myself a lot. Most of my friends now know to ignore me if I'm muttering fairly low. My "for others" voice is much louder than my "for myself" voice.
I talk a lot while shopping and driving, sometimes around the house.
Some examples:
"oh no"
"what?"
"I just did that"
"oh and how"
"stop it"
"great"
"I love her" -referring to Ada :-)
"let's see"
"what are you going to do about it?"
"oh no you don't"
That's all I can think of now. Those are pretty much the usuals. I also talk to my cat. It helps. I pretend her meows are actually english words.I think it's because I played by myself a lot and daydreamed a lot that makes it seem natural to talk to myself. I usually had to say a lot of things in my head so my mom wouldn't hear me speak them. Now I can speak them. (if that makes sense?)
I didn't find anything you said unusual. Except now I'm craving spaghetti LOL :-)
