People with over imaginative minds. who talk to themselves how do they cope.?!
Question: Long time ago - before CD's. I had a car that only had a radio - not even a cassette player. So, I'd carry by humungous tape player in my car so that I could listen to some music. For some reason, I hadn't been using it and I had a blank tape in it.
One night when I got home from work - I realized that when I put my stuff on the floorboard, I'd inadvertently pushed the record button. Hmmm, I thought to myself - this ought to be interesting!
So, I rewound the tape and played it back. I had been talking to myself for the full 15 minutes that it took me to get home from work.
The sad part was - I didn't even know it so that meant that I wasn't even listening to myself! Ever since I became aware of the situation - when I do talk to myself -- I actually listen!
True story! :)

I think its easy...whats the problem with it? Its when they don't talk and they hear answers that could lead to a problem.
I take Lexapro
I don't know i will ask. she said we cope fine thank you.
is to talk to them. they talk to themselves because they dont have someone to talk to.
I fall into this catagory and I hit myself to cope. No really...I do, and do it on a regular basis. It helps so much.
When my ex asked me why I talk to myself I replied that I like intelligent conversation.
I like to vocalise arguments, taking both sides, so that I can appreciate other peoples points of view. It really helps me when I have a conversation with others. I realise this makes me seem a raving lunatic, babbling to my self. I am just thinking out loud.
My daughter would be speaking to herself from the age of 4. Now, she, in her thirtees, is living a miserable life as others see her. To herself, she is as confident as ever. The psychiatrists have failed as miserably as she is. The drugs caused side effects. I am in this forum to seek help, not to give an answer,alas!
