I talk to myself.

For around 2 years, more or less, I've been finding myself standing in front of a mirror, talking to myself about whatever's on my mind. Now, when I do this, I never actually speak out loud. I just mouth the words or whisper them, but not loud enough that anyone else would hear it. (But that doesn't matter, because I never do it around other people) I just go on these rants for around 20 minutes, or until something/someone else distracts me from it. But what's really concerning me, is that I tend to talk as if I were speaking to other people. I sit down and do a fake review of a product or something I got that day. Or while playing a computer game, I'll run an ongoing conversation with fake subscribers, pretending I'm filming a video or something. The longest one of these sessions was around an hour. They're getting more frequent and I'm worried for my mental health, if this is a bad thing. Are these the first steps to going insane, or is this just my way of expressing my desire for attention and wishing I could be somewhat internet famous?

    I don't talk to myself, I talk to my cat... well actually, it more like I sing to my cat. I sing to my cat, I sing his praises!

  • Eh, the same idea as keeping a diary I guess.

    But if it scares you just don’t do it, or talk to a professional about it. I don’t think it’s a problem, but if you do then you should take the steps to correct it. Though you seem lonely.

    Don't worry, lots of people do it. I do it too. It helps me sort out my feelings and have conversations with people in a way that I wished I had done in the past but couldn't. It actually helps me resolve stuff. It's quite cathartic I think.

    This is not insanity. But this is weird as fuck.

    I've done sort of the same thing before. Is it getting out of hand?

    There's nothing wrong with it, lots of people do it. It helps you work out your own feelings. Worrying about it is worse than actually doing it! Don't be afraid to do it out loud, just don't let people hear you ;-)
