Is it normal to talk to yourself this way?

I often find myself talking to myself. It's not a full conversation, but what my half of the conversation would be. And i imagine that i'm with the person that i'm talking to. I'll see myself with them, but i don't hear them speak to me. I just imagine what they would say and prepare my response. And i do this whenever i am alone, it can go on for a long period of time.
Well I was hanging out with this girl the other day, and she asked me flat out if I heard voices. That made me start to wonder if i really am, because sadly that wasn't the 1st time somebody asked me that. My own mother being one of those people...

Is It Normal?

  • You're just pre thought out , you probably spend time coming up with responses for conversations with certain people, you just like to be prepared for certain conversations , it's normal when you hear voices , trust me when you hear voices you don't hear them inside , you hear them outside

  • I have a Shizoid personality but I don't hallucinogate and I talk to myself all of the time sometimes it's more enjoyable than talking to someone else.

  • Nah, I don't think you hear voices. I think you just talk to yourself. You said you imagine that you're with the person you're talking to. Key word, "imagine". It's normal. You're imagining it yourself. Nobody is talking to you. You aren't hearing voices, but your own that you create in your mind.
