I talk to myself, out loud because...

73% Normal
9 Comments

I am not a college educated individual. I had one best friend, and we fell out. Besides that, i have colleagues, of which i look up to and admire, and talked to about personal things but only because the environment (work, close quarters specifically) allows and ushers that relationship.

Yet I'm introspective and talk to myself, preferably out loud, all the time when I'm completely alone and occasionally around others (that i work with, being unemployed means no social interaction whatsoever)

I don't have friends because i would prefer they burden me before i burden them. Relationships for me, begin when others want to have that relationship with me, and i can never have it the other way around because, i don't want to burden others unless they are comfortable enough.

While I'm quick to be personal with people that i work with in close quarters, i leave the relationship at the workplace until THEY decide otherwise.

Am i alone, is it normal?

    Like having conversations with yourself? Then no. Saying your thoughts on something isn't. I do that all the time.

    I do the same thing when I am alone. I will have conversations with myself. Not talking TO myself, but saying my thoughts out loud as I would say them to someone else.

    Screw talking to people. Why talk to them when you can have conversations with yourself and can control how the conversation goes?!

    I talk all the time to myself. Nothing wrong with it.

    I know how you feel with the burden part, I'm the same, but I hate talking, even to myself... but I think it's better to talk to yourself if you're alone, so you can keep or even improve your speaking skills for when you might need them again...

    I wish i could reply back to all of you personally and extend how much i appreciate your comments. As a male, i notice that most of you are female which is to say the least, somewhat reassuring. I am a heterosexual, however im not ashamed of my feminine qualities and with your feedback, even less ashamed. To be clear, i don't have full blown "conversations" with myself, its more like myself and, myself brainstorming; talking back to each other.

    Any way, this has been tremendous and i truly thank you all. I will continue to believe that this trait of mine is abnormal, however knowing that i am not alone reinforces the idea that the truly exceptional are rare.

    Thank you all, again.
