Answer 1

don't worry. it's perfectly normal. talking to yourself is not a bad thing at all, it could be considered good.

Answer 2

that's fine.

you're just thinking things through and it's your mind's way of solving problems and coming to an appropriate resolution without having to actually talk to the person you're talking to...

like, you know how some people will talk to someone, and once they say it out loud, they know what the solution is...?

well that's kinda what you're doing, only in your head. :)

Answer 3

Its okay, most people do it.  Its totally normal.  God bless!

Answer 4

yes it is normal. you can use that for your advantage in dealing with bad situations.

Answer 5

well.........if your practicing a speech or are looking for a career in radio or television, yeah i guess...it is a method of practicing your speech and presentation but if its just random and off the bat then you probably have some confidence or self esteem issues.

but i recko n your just thinking out loud, dont worry about it

Answer 6

It is 100% normal. If you discuss the problems to yourself then you

can understand better. But try to do it alone. It will help you a lot in future.

Answer 7

its normal.

as long as your not having full on conversations with your hand or something.

its just like thinking , but out loud.

Answer 8

Some of the most intelligent and engaging conversations I’ve had have been w/ myself. I personally don’t see anything wrong w/ talking 2 oneself. If anything it’s probably something thats healthy.  

Answer 9

I do it out loud when I'm alone.

Though I wouldn't place myself of a standard of normal.

Don't worry so much about being normal!

Answer 10
