That would never be me. I'm constantly talking to myself. People think I'm crazy, but I think I'm just bursting with ideas!

Yeah I talk to myself and my cat way too much, I actually talk more when I'm alone than I do when someone else is around.
I get lots of questioning looks in the grocery stores cause I didn't make a list and have to tell myself, audible, that I didn't need the cookies.
It would be me, except I swear a lot under my breath when I run into problems with software or things. In two languages simultaneously, even.
English and C++
Dude you're not alone, talk to myself all the time. When I am caught I just tell people I was needing an expert opinion. Its gets a good laugh and people don't think I'm crazy. Agatha Christina would play out the dialog in her novels to herself outloud. Most people with an active imagination does this.
Nah, I talk the most when I am alone.
What do you guys talk about?
Cinematography and geopolitical effects of mountainous terrain rainfall on world building stories. Also making ways of tricking people into reading the book about potatoes.
Do people really not talk to themselfs? They should! It's not "crazy" if you know there isn't another person there. But it's ok to think out loud. It's even good because sometimes you can hear how you sound and change. I like it and this is a type of self therapy
No I talk to myself
real
Do you not cat?
This is why I stopped by. Cat on my friend. PssssPssss
Apparently, you don't own a cat.
I cannot relate. I live with my GF but even if she leaves for the night I'll start talking to my self somehow.
Step one, get a girlfriend
That's too many steps, I'll just stick to talking with the voices in my head
if she leaves for the night
How sure are you that you're her only boyfriend?
For months at a time unfortunately! Lmfao- Use the phone+ call friends and family- people aren't around forever
You lucky BS bastards... And I have to answer the same question to my kid every 5 seconds.
Why?
Because I said so
Why?
shakes vigorously
Lived alone during COVID.
Went months
Glad I'm not that weirdo. I'll still talk to my cat.
This is why cats exist
Nope, I talk to my dog and three times a day we walk around the block and inevitably someone will wave and say hello
when I was a bachelor. what bachelor hasn't.
4, because I work partly remote so there have been occasions where I have no reason to leave the house or see another person for four days. I’m introverted so it’s kind of nice, but it’s probably not healthy
Edit: and my dog is not mine: I share custody with my ex (it’s actually her dog) so that’s only half a week
If I didn't talk to myself out loud or use voice-to-text on my phone to leave internet comments, I'd be on day 5 of vocal silence right now.
Also, you apparently have a sore throat. Who knew?
I solve this problem by occasionally yelling at bafflingly stupid current events, as recounted by various youtubers/podcasts.
Gotta keep up that ability to insult on the fly.
Stretch those creativity brain pathways, in addition to your vocal cords.
Either that or cursing myself out for writing bafflingly bad code, from time to time.
... Less insanely, I also sing, and... have neighbors I talk to, go outside from time to time, chat up randos.
I have an internal monologue nearly all the time.
Sometimes I just outwardly verbalize it.
Got too many vocal cats I talk back to. Don't think I can go an hour unless I'm sleeping.
They don't even need to be vocal, sometimes they're just sitting there and I go "¿¿¿QUÉ PASA???"
I don't even speak Spanish man
I like speaking farci or erdu to mine(not a brag, I'm not fluent in either)
not alone but forgetting how to talk. quit answering phone
Yes. Or the only words I've said aloud were Insane Clown Posse lyrics.
I battled severe depression, drug/alcohol abuse/addiction. I was living in the Colorado rockies in the cold mountains with out connection to civilization for weeks on end... im unofficially on rhe spectrum too. I think ive gone a couple days saying nothing, definitely.
I got this killer up inside me. I can’t talk to my mother, so I talk to my diary.
When I moved to my current house, my wife and kid were at our previous house for a while. I deliberately chose this house for its isolation, so for a while the only people I really spoke to were local cashiers every few days. (Side note: my kid was three at the time and had left a toy triceratops on the back of one of the commodes the day we signed for the house. I never thought a toilet would make me miss someone so much.)
Anyway, I work remotely and had a daily virtual meeting. Most days, that meeting was the first and last time I spoke. I also had some kind of long lived sinus infection going on, so not only did I speak pretty rarely, until I opened my mouth I wasn't even sure if I'd have a voice that day.
