It's not exactly talking,it's kinda murmuring to yourself.
I do the same especially when something goes wrong
or when i forgot something to be bought at a grocery.
It's not abnormal cuz there're people who sing and whistled
around.It's like a habit.It's nothing to shamed about.
What people should have is 'understanding' cuz it's just
a habit and it's not a bad habit.
You don't go around yelling,do you?...hahaha...
Just who do you think you're talking to now???
It's just because you need someone to talk to. So you are just talking to yourself.
yahoo answers is good for a lot of things, psychiatric help isn't really one of them.... if your case really as chronic as you said it is and that out of control u should consider seeing a professional.
dont be ashamed, I do this all the time, I see people looking at me at the traffic lights, and they see no one else in the car and I am talking, to be honest i think talking to myself, keeps me sane, as I have a huge amount on my mind too. dont worry
I had to laugh at Erik's answer. I think we all talk to ourselves as a way of ordering our thoughts, particularly if we have a lot on our minds. Its an important way of resolving conflicts and setting priorities, particularly when we have limited time.
While the person who sprung you while talking to yourself may have been smiling, there is a good chance that they were probably smiling in relief that they now know they are not the only ones who talk to themselves out loud, or perhaps because they caught you at it, rather than the other way around.
Have confidence in your problem solving skills and put them to work solving how you can cut down the public expressions of these self debates. You may end up disclosing things out loud that you may have preferred not to. So exercise some self restraint and caution. But you are unlikely to stop it.
Be safe, be sage
yeah it happens to all of us u just dun c it on ppl maybe ur bored stimes n so wat u talk to ur self...everytime my sister wakes me up she finds me sleep talking(dun care)
try out this...
whenever u feel like talking ...write it on a peice of paper....then burn it out or tear it away...
i know its hard 2 carry paper and pen everywhere ,so u can use ur hanky or a tissue paper,...and in due course u'll stop talking and start writing...also tearing away the paper will help u 2 keep ur secrets..and also to 4get ur past...writng may also help u improve a new skill....try it...
Talking to yourself is okay... when you talk to yourself, you are actually encouraging yourself to do something... When you can't get control of your talking to myself habit, try not to talk to yourself to often. you talk too much to yourself till you made it a habit... but i have to advice you that it is not a good habit... just talk to yourself when you have troubles, when you need to speak to people and also when you feel sad... i hope i helped you with your problem...
You probably do this because you're the most interesting person that you know!
How to stop?
With all the cell phones and pda's...... you can be half crazy and have the excuse that you're 'on the phone!'
Just attach a bluetooth device to one of your ears and talk your booty off sister!!!! No one can think anything other than perhaps you're rude for being on the phone so get that ear piece and have an open conversation with the smartest person that you know...... you.
Hope this helps!
Hay, some times a person talks to them self because when they hear something verbally .they remember it better.. Some times it's a need for a human voice. Are you alone . a lot??? Here's a clue you have no one to impress. If some one thinks your odd because you talk yourself. Tough! Got that? I'm betting that once you get over feeling stressed over the problem that you will learn to control it better.
