Self conversation

[poetofthemist94]

Does anyone ever start talking to themselves that they end up getting in a self conversation like I do which happens quite often

 

[Sev]

This happens to me too often especially when I'm analyzing a social situation.

Yes, I Do. I notice it mostly when I am awake, but I could do it other times too.

All the time. Like Sev, I use it to analyze social situations. Often I will play out scenarios in my head before a social situation on what I will say, what the others' reaction might be, etc. I do it a lot at home probably more than others because I live alone. My coworkers are used to it now and they ignore me, but I'm sure it's a bit odd to others.

i do the same exact thing. ha. thats two for two .

I do it a little, but my wife thinks Im trying to get the last word in, so usually in private now.
My son however, is another story. I had to check the bathroom, the other night because I thought he'd snuck his girlfriend into the shower. It sounded so much like a two way conversation, and it went on for ages.

I do it all the time. I try when I'm in public to keep it in my head but words and lines slip out.

Self conversation---out loud? When I have misplaced a thing, especially; or am trying to keep it straight in my mind where a thing goes, then I say it out loud.

Self conversation---on paper. When I am working out a design. I write down how many green, blue, red etc...there are and whether I have enough or there will be some left over or I will need to make more.

Self conversation---in my head. When I am thinking of what I want to say to someone else who is not with me. Frequently, the phone rings and it turns out to be the person I was having the conversation with in my head.

I call it a form of rehearsing. Sometimes a script is in order for an upcoming critical conversation with another person.

 

[Spiller]

I have a series of pop-up conversationalists in my head, based on the people I'm currently interacting with in real life. They appear, like shooting-range targets whenever I'm inclined to have a relevant conversation.. my GP, councellor, friend, kids, ex-wife.
Script rehearsal is a part of it.. bouncing ideas, as I might were I with some.. attempting to explain a relevant argument with others.. being me, whatever that's worth, with the rest.
I have also had times when I've suffered with severe paranoia, when I've caught myself arguing and gesticulating at the walls for hours, over stressful situations that, I later realised, I let get out of control and that led me into an extreme lack of self-awareness.

 

[Suzanne]

YES, indeed I am always chatting to myself and when caught, hubby says: enjoying yourself or, shall I call in the white jacket chaps?

I also have the dreadful habit of talking about an ideal situation and then, when it doesn't quite go as I hoped it would, I get upset and it was my hubby who pointed out that I should leave others to do their own thinking and I am endeavoring to not do this any more ie an ideal situation.

 

[wyverary]

Yes. Out loud. In French. Usually when there are other people around I hadn't noticed.

 

[Peace]

OK, so, in thinking about it I say to myself the things I cannot say to others but desperately want to. Usually , sometimes it slips out.
I also talk to myself when I am alone, or thinking about something as a form of thinking out loud.
And sometimes, I even debate back and fourth with myself when I have tough problem to solve.

 

[Harrison]

I talk to myself, like previous posts, I use it to run approaching situations through in my head, or I may just be bouncing ideas with myself.

 

[Christopher Nicholson]

Self conversation, I wish I could shut it off. I run every social situation that I think is possible in my head. Every response, it's exhausting.

It has its advantages when encountering some situations but I sure wish I could shut it off.

 

[Aurore]

I do it all the time. When I walk with the dog, I guess people thinks I'm talking to him. But when I'm alone, I try to be more discreet!!

This may have potential.
Joy, Fear, Anger, and Sadness are characters and talk
inside the head of each individual human.

I will be pleased if this show doesn't suck.
