Are you considered insane if you talk to yourself?

Question

Ha sometimes to practice things, I'll say stuff to myself in a mirror and then see how well I'll talk about it later in front of someone and sometimes I might say something to myself in public and sometimes people ask me If I was talking to them but I say no. I don't want people to think I am mentally unstable and I mean...haha I can't really help it. When there's no one to talk to, why not talk to youself lol.

Answer 1

I would say anyone that doesn't talk to themselves is pretty crazy.  Talking to yourself is normal, it's just thinking out loud.

Answer 2

Um no its fine

its just awkward if you yell things to yourself in public settings

Answer 3

Society doesn't accept it, but I think it is perfectly fine to talk to yourself. I do it too! I sometimes understand things better if I talk out the situation instead of just thinking about it. I'm sure a lot of people talk to themselves and just don't admit it. A reason why you might do this is because you are shy. I don't know, that is something you have to answer. Good luck! e-mail me if you want to talk!

Answer 4

Maybe a quick fix- keep a voice-activated recorder with you at all times, then in your spare moments, >play it all back< and listen to yourself(!)

Should you find some worth-while stuff, save them, and better yet, transcribe to a written record. For one thing, you will find if you are just repeating stuff, or developing something original and useful.

Um- all this playback of stuff you already know could cause burnout, tho there's the possibility of some new discovery that you swept by without a second thought.  

Answer 5

whoa dude or dudet,  yea that sounds pretty bad , you should find a talky friend so that won't scare you lol.
