I can't stop. I feel that another person lives inside me, with me. I know it doesn't exist, but I can't stop talking with it. It's like an imaginary friend who lives into my mind. I'm forced to tell him all my thoughts, my considerations, my observations. I must speak with him, because though I decided to stop, I would restart almost immediately, because I would forget to stop. When I talk with me, I talk in a low voice, so nobody notices that I do it, but I'm really desperate.

    I don't know if it's normal, but I do something similar to this. I know I created it myself though when I was a kid. It just seemed funner to me to do calculations, or think, with more than my mind. So I created a little friend, and so when I think things like "Oh, I bet the card they'll pick up is 7 of clubs!" Little friend apposes and says "6 of hearts" Or maybe I want to remember something, I like to have my 'friend' hold on to the memory for me. It's not a big deal, I've chosen to drop the friend at times cause I find it makes my brain to active. It's an extra strain on my brain and it makes me think like all the time. I'm not afraid it's an alternate personality or anything, but I can see how you might think your crazy. Hell, maybe i'm crazy to. It's a big asset having it though, it's sort of my voice of reason when I'm pissed of and have issues understanding how the other person might feel. I doonn'ttt knooowwww :P No i'm wondering if I'm nuts! I feel like I have a higer intelligence than most though

      Mine is not a friend, it's an enemy! When I have to remember something, it makes me forget it. I'm always in conflict with myself because it always contradicts me. I work all the time because I steadily talk with it, so at the end of the day I feel extremely tired, like I was bearing the life of two enemies who are always fighting. I think I'm really crazy!

        I know alot of people who said they had something like that, sort of a "dark side." I went through a stage of depression in my early teen years and sort of experienced something like that. I'm going to sound like an emo if I told you how I got over it, but it might help, so I guess I'll look like a freak on a website full of weirdies lol This is what I did. Voice would pop up, I would ignore it. I wore a necklace with the symbol "luck" in japanese, it was kinda pointy, so when I started to feel kinda low and the voice kicked in and I felt negative I would squeeze the necklace until the thoughts went away. That made a bit of a mental association for me, bad thoughts equal physical pain(from squeezing the necklace), so the thoughts would shove off. Also it's a natural reaction to stop what your doing and defend yourself when you feel like your in danger, so the pain wipes away the thoughts. You also have to force yourself to think positive. If you do converse with the thought, think of something positive to fight back. It's like learnign to love yourself.

          Thanks for the advice... I think I'll find something that can hurt me, maybe it could work... And I'll also try to think positive, though it's not easy to do...

    I don't know if it's how you've written the question or if you are saying the voice inside is seperate to you and is antagonising you.

    Having a constant internal dialogue is normal (it's actually very hard, if not impossible, to turn off), occassionally mumbling something to yourself is normal, something like a writer thinking out aloud as they work on a book is normal. There are distraction, relaxation and meditation techiniques that can help control inner dialogue but if you are busy you shouldn't be a that aware of it going on.

    Talking to yourself a lot and being unable to stop yourself doing it isn't normal, it could be a sign of extreme stress or the result of drugs or alcohol but if you also have other symptoms like sleep and memory problems, are isolating yourself, aren't eating or keeping up personal hygiene and your perception has changed (you think that people who have never really done anything to you are suddenly out to get you) then you need to see a Doctor ASAP.

    I read somewhere that not every person who is talking to themselves in the middle of the street, got a bluetooth,some of them really do have a couple of screws lose.

    I think you better visit a psychologist, if it bothers you that much.
