So it isnt insane to talk to yourself but is it insane to reply to what you have!

So it isnt insane to talk to yourself but is it insane to reply to what you have been saying to yourself?

Ok basically I talk to myself. Now i know that this doesnt make a person crazy but does replying and holding conversations with yourself. Is that classed as crazy. I normally hold a conversation with my self when i am alone in my room (when I feel lonely or bored) but recently my mum caught me holding a random conversation with myself and im worried that she now thinks im crazy or have a psychological problem, mental illness runs in my family and i scared that she might freak out and go and get me a psycologist or something. I dont think its crazy to hold a conversation with myself, I dont think that im crazy either but how do i explain what i do to my mum without her freaking out.?? Please help me.

I get checks regularly as mental illness runs in my family. They have so far come out ok saying that i am normal.

You are fine. You mainly do the outloud self-talking when you are bored. Now if you did it all of the time, including out in public, then that would be different. But everyone talks to themselves outloud occassionally - and they answer themselves even if it is only inside of their head.

As far as you and your mom goes, you might just explain to her that when you are bored that you sometimes talk to yourself but everyone does that in private occassionally. Tell her she has nothing to worry about and then give her a big hug! She will be fine.
