anyone else talk to themself?
 
maybe its just because i have a lot on my mind these days.. but i have found myself talking to myself quite a bit anymore when i am alone or working on something.. (course i also talk to my dogs like they are people.. as if they have any idea what i am saying to them.. but at least they look interested LOL )

like when driving today i kept yammering on about how much i hate our snow blower.. and trying to figure out what i am gonna say to the shop i bought it from... its brand new and has been in for repairs more then it has been at our house.. nothing wacky or anything.. i guess you could call it thinking out loud.. or trying to work my problems out... out loud...:rolleyes: but i just hope i am not the only one.. MS or not it makes me feel a little nuts that i do that..:o

PD,
Don't sweat it partner. I'm guilty of it too.

Yep, and it drives hubby crazy at times! I talk to myself at work, but then again so does my supervisor. But yeah, I work out problems out loud. For whatever reason when I verbalize it I can come to a solution much easier.

All Day long, every day. It will start in my head, but before it's over, I'm having a whole conversation out loud, with myself.

DAY

Yes, I am a self talker. I find that when I really want to hear something running through my head, saying it aloud, stops the chatter and gives me a perspective I wasn't getting with the thought/problem rattling in my head.

Ok, it sounds goofy, but so what. If I'm goofy I can live with it, cuz it works for me.

Anyone else?

:hug:

Yes indeed. It seems to help me focus, keep my mind from wandering off to parts unknown. Drives my husband crazy, which is another plus. :D

On the bright side, at least you know you are doing it. I have been told I talk to myself, but I don't recall that. I do know that I make expresive faces sometimes when I am thinking (or perhaps talking to myself). I must look really wierd hen I'm out in public when I'm out in public by myself.

Sometimes....and sometimes it's a great conversation ;)

My mind races so much I start talking to myself. I don't say anything out loud - I just move my lips. It doesn't matter who is around.

Not only that: I will ask a question and answer it! :mf_argue:

Sometimes it's the best conversation I had all day!!

Well, I certainly don't think your'e crazy or anything, cuz if you are for talking to yourself, then I am waaaaay out there.

I find myself talking to myself in my car all the time. Actually, I'm talking to a higher up or sometimes to my Mother who has passed on.

Sometimes, if I don't want to forget something, I will say it out loud to myself, so I don't forget it. I even talk to my dogs.

We're normal, right??
