Do you talk to yourself?

Do you ever talk to yourself?
If so, in what way?

Me- I use to keep a journal, but being in foster care and group homes and moving around one of my journals got left behind and was read. Ever since then I never kept up with my personal thoughts except sometimes on my notes which I have locked on my phone.
But sometimes it's to much to type or if I'm in the moment I'll just talk to myself as if someone else was around listening. I have friends but some thoughts I just keep to myself, I dont feel the need to tell anyone else, and once I say it out loud I'm over it in that moment. That's one of my moments of talking to myself.
Another is just really me speaking aloud my thoughts of plan in a way of organizing.
I just wanna know if anyone else talks to themselves as if someone else is listening and they're just getting things off their chest.

Please explain 😁

    It's the only way I can get an intelligent conversation anymore.

    I do it when I am lonely. I just had to say it out of honesty.

    Yeah I talk to the thin air as if someone else was there listening. If anyone overheard me they'd think I was schizophrenic or something, lol.

      Yeah, I caught myself at work today (I just started and I'm in retail) so I'm doing the put backs and I'm walking around like a chicken with its head cut off like 'this isle, no. This one? No, but where do these blue glass cups go? This is glass but they're not blue, well wtf? Imma just put it here!' 🤣🤣🤣 'problem solved, now where does this go..?' 😆

        Btw our isles dont have a number or name they're just randomly put in an overall area. For instance glassware. So I have to find where a specific glass goes in such a BROOOAADDDD area

    I talk to myself a lot, even silently in my head. I kinda talk as if i'm talking to a friend or as if i'm some public speaker/ stand up comic just for the fun of it. whether i'm planning out an essay, a day, telling myself things are going to be fine, or just to self review a movie I watched. Its nice.

    i grew up with family members who do so openly and narrate shit like doin the dishes

    its not the enda the world and everyones quite sane and firmly planted in reality but it is kinda annoyin

    so while i do the same i dont do it around other people

    i usually talk at projects im doin like 'take that ya fuckin stubborn lawnmower bolt!'

    I like to talk to myself, usually in my head but sometimes I'll actually say a question or answer that helps me "take the next step" if that makes sense

    Like you I go through extensive tangents

    I learned somewhere that our brains have several criteria when making assessments, and I like to analyze my criteria and their implications, and the implications of pursuing each criteria

    Does saying "Fuck off" to yourself in the mirror when you are in a bad mood count? XD

    I don't really talk to myself, but I do like to narrate when doing work on the car alone. If you saw me, you'd think I was making a tv show about cars. Man, I wish I was good at writing, or at least have the quirky wit and humor of Jeremy Clarkson... Then I'd be a hit on car shows.

    I mostly talk to my cat! I would feel silly talking to myself out loud.
