Talking to One's Self

No not bonkers , I do it all the time I think I'm having a conversation in my head sometimes until OH shouts up "who are you talking to up there", when I'm walking I sometimes do it when I need to have a conversation with someone that's going to be difficult so I have the conversation with myself first.

Haha! tanith-----just hope you don't speak aloud when walking down the street!

I don't think it counts if one lives alone!

The programme on BBC 4 called "Thinking Allowed"- I used to think it was called "Thinking Aloud" and thought well so what! It's a clever title though. Bett er do more housework as I'm rambling now.

wot I have caught myself at it , luckily my walks usually take me down paths alongside fields so there's nobody to hear me..

Well, your paths could be missing GEMS of WISDOM!

All the time wot but fortunately I still realise I am doing it.

tanith just because you can't see anybody doesn't mean there is no-one there!

Well, I've got four people to talk to now: me, myself, I and Gransnet!

Me too wot!!!

I do it all the time wot, I live alone so it's normal!
Yesterday I was walking home, chunnering to myself when a young woman sneaked up walked past me.
I think I'm turning into the local nutter!

I see I really am invisible

Well, you're not invisible to me, grannylyn65!

synonymous are they disguised as horses or bushes then?

Me! often when i need to remind myself what I should be doing the "Now what did I come upstairs for" sort of dialogue.

I think it is useful. I talk to my plants nicely and I sometimes cuss weeds as well if they won't come out of the ground.

Lona I love that word 'chunnering'

I make it sound like I'm addressing my thoughts to the animals on our holding but I'm sure they have no interest in my decision making or complaining out loud, however I'm sure they like to hear my voice more than DH does when he's around lol

My grandma used to say that if you talked to yourself, you at least got an intelligent answer!

I talk to myself as I'm doing things about the house. I'm not a very tidy person, so really, I'm just giving myself instructions on how to carry out the task in hand.

wot ???

I talk to myself at work! I am mostly alone, but occasionally someone will walk in on me. My excuse is that I am thinking aloud. I talk to myself at home too, when DH is at work. Those conversations are usually addressed to the dog, so I'm really talking to her.?

Surely if you talk to yourself you stand more chance of being agree wit, or maybe not..............

I not only talk to myself, but to just about anything within hearing that can't run away (eg: to record player) "you're a nice little thing, aren't you, it's about time you had a good polish" and I'll actually ^pat it^. Cereal bowls and mugs are frequently complimented on their patterns and contents, the weather is a subject of loud praise or contempt from my kitchen window....

Brilliant! Nothing ever answers back

Yep, me too. I do it a lot around the house and sometimes wonder if I have said something out loud when out in the street. I find when you are trying to make a decision it help to talk it through with your self.
